This is my first time to attend the Sulat fiesta celebration here in California. I only get to see photos from their previous fiesta partyin the social media. Usually mama would be the one to share us what happened in the party who came and so on.
Tina and I went to the venue early to help setting up the place. At around 5pm the mass officiated by Father Marito started. After the mass buffet was open for dinner. There was a long stretched table in the corner filled with Pinoy food and delicacies. The guests started digging in on what was in the table. And then with the music on, guests started strutting on the dance floor while others babbling with their fellow sulatnons or estehanons. Definitely there was the dancing of the kuracha, as part of the tradition. They also have raffle games for everyone and I was lucky to won one of the raffle prizes.
I was new to the group. But I see
familiar faces. Most I heard of and seen from the photos from previous
parties they had. Glad to know that everyone is welcoming and
friendly. At the party I also met a childhood friend Mylene Patilla, so
the whole time we were just reminiscing our childhood and the life
spent in Sulat.

like this somehow fills that part of missing my home. Home back in the Philippines. The small town of Sulat.
