Last November 2, my papa and I went to the old airport to have my driving lessons, with him as my teacher. :)
So when we got there, there are two other cars which are also practicing. I got a little conscious, LIKE DUH-who wouldn't? Hahaha, anyway, my papa refreshed me with the things that he already taught me before, we actually have some sessions sometimes when we go to my lola's subdivision because there is a spot there where almost nobody pass by. We chose that place to avoid accidents. So, my papa told me that we will change seats and we will first focus on my forward and backward driving.
I did what my papa told me. I am just grateful that I could still remember the things that he taught me before, even though the engine shut down a couple of times. Mehee
So, yea I think I'm getting better with my driving. :) and will be the best one day.
Ask for directions!

Undas 2012
November 4, 2012-12:46pm
Please bear with me if I just posted today. It's because for the past 4 days, we had a series of family gatherings. ANYWAY, let me get things started. Allow me to tell you something about how I spent my Undas through pictures. :)
You know, Halloween is just one of a kind holiday. You don't have to go trick-or-treating wearing some scary or slutty costumes just for the sake to experience the real essence of Halloween. I think it's the beginning of a solemn celebration. Kumbaga, isang bisperas lamang ang Halloween. It's just a preparation for the All Saint's and All Soul's Day.
Last November 1, we attended a Mass at Saint Jude Thaddeus. During the homily, the priest explained why the all soul's and all saint's day are celebrated differently where in fact, they're all souls already. According to him, the two feasts are celebrated differently because of one reason. One important reason, the saints lived their life in loving Jesus ultimately. Though many among us love Jesus but the saints sacrificed even their one and only life just to proclaim the goodness of our Lord. He said that there are numerous saints in Heaven, not only the ones who are canonized here on earth-the ones who we are familiar with.
After the Mass, we visited our lolo(mama's papa) at his grave near the church. But even though it's just near, we arrived there 30 minutes after because of traffic. People are walking in different directions. Some are coming in the cemetery and some are going out. So when we arrived at our lolo's grave, me, my sis and one of our cousins, went outside and we had a little food trip with the food outside the cemetery. So when we went back to my lolo, we said some prayers and then we went to my lola's house.
We had dinner at their house together with my slim cousins(to think that all five of us fit in the back seat of our car. Haha). While eating dinner, we were laughing so hard, just having our good old 3D conversations.
By my experience I could say that if you really want to feel the essence of those holidays, take time to reflect and pray to those poor souls in the purgatory. It's just once a year, and they badly needed our prayer. So if all of us will shower with prayers the souls in the purgatory, I am rest assured that they may see the face of God in no time. And if you haven't offered a prayer to them, it's not too late yet.
Pray that they may see God.

Made this pizza for my sister and me. Overloading cheese toppings. :)
My mom's durian shake. So delicious, I should say.
Lego Ferrari car from Shell. Dad bought home the pieces and I assembled them together, looks cute eh? But one piece is missing.
The scene at Davao Memorial Park in Matina. There are tents eveywheeere. Some people stayed overnight to spend sometime with their beloved dead.
My lolo's grave at the cemetery. My uncle place these barbecue sticks around his grave so people won't step on it. Meheee
The moon last October 31 and I daresay, it looks so creepy. It may not seem so good compared when you see it personally. Blame it all to my phone's low camera quality.
We lit some candles at Redemptorist last November 2, for all the souls in the purgatory and also for our beloved dead.
