 pictures paint a single word- HAPPINESS

The event was the "Del Rosario" in Sulat wherein Nadine was the hermana for the year 2012.  Definitely papa and mama had to be there, so together with uncle Herming and aunties they flew from the US to attend the said occasion.  The day after the said event, we went to Uncle Agus farm for a get together...

There were few who were not able to attend, but majority of the Baldados were there...from the kids or the apos the oldies( the grandmoms and grandpas)..Aside from the Baldados, guests that we consider  our families too were there...Mama Inda and company, Auntie Panying, and others who droppedby to join us..

This homecoming is memorable for our family..with the presence of papa and mama, all the aunties uncles and cousins who flew all the way from US or manila showed how this family support each other.

just like our usual gathering, each family brought food to share.  Uncle Agus who hosted the party, had treated the balikbayans and guests with lechon.  And of course he never forgot the "tuba" for the boys.

I was early in the farm. Pau, Phoebe and Aaron wanted to swim so I had to accompany them early to the farm.  That was what exactly they did the moment they got there, hit the water directly for    a swim.

 

Lunch time almost everyone was present and relished the food, the lechon which was freshly out from the fire, kinilaw the kakanins among others.Each took his or her own place, while enjoying the food. Guys took one of the cottages so everyone will had his" tagay" of the "tuba".

Girls were having chitchats, while the kids were in the waters. It was fun to see the kids playing in the beach. I was reminded how we cousins did the same thing when we were their age.  I guess it runs in Baldados blood the love for the beach.

oppa gangnam style

Dancing is another activity we enjoy during parties.  An upbeat music in the background made my auntie Mayet and auntie Mema get into the groove.  Then the rest of us followed.  Both aunties were  members of  zumba class, so we were taught of some zumba steps.  It was fun..



But the apos like Mica and Alain insisted to play the "oppa gangnam style".  This time they took the stage and led us with the moves to the famous dance music.

   Most of us dipped into the waters, later.  While our boys continued drinking the tuba.  Our guests, went home to rest. There were still guests who came in the afternoon. Some joined the the drinking session even us the girls tried the tuba too.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
We ended the reunion late afternoon..we do not want our oldies  and the kids to get colds.  I guess everyone enjoyed the gathering..afterall the best party is if its with your loved ones.

This homecoming for papa and mama will be remembered. One thing that retained in me in this particular homecoming is how this family support each other.  The rest of the Baldado family proved it again by being with us in this Del Rosario event. Both Baldados and Capitos  were represented on the said occassion. It is such a wonderful feeling to be part of this family.
