It was the first time of Ian,Enyan and Bibo who was still a baby, in the Philippines. It was our first time to see the kids face to face. Before this, we would only see their pictures sent to us by Anna, their mom. And just like in their pictures, these kids are really adorable in person. Ian and Aaron hit it off well in an instant. They both love to play. Enyan was more of the reserve type. She was a sweet little girl, very soft spoken and has accent. She would sometimes play with the boys but remain to be prim in her actions. Bibo was a cutie-pie. She delighted us with her baby laughter.
Unfortunately Kuya Brian and the kids got sore eyes during their stay in the Philippines. So the plan of going to Sulat did not push through. Their two weeks were mostly spent in Tarlac. Good enough that they were able to go to a Halloween costume party in Manila.
When we(me pa and ma), came
back from the province, kua Byan and the kids were well already. It was
few more days before they leave for US, we have little time to go
out of town, so it was mostly going to the malls for the kids in the city.
The send off party for papa,
mama, kuya Brian, Anna and the kids was a simple dinner in Lagro.
Cousins both sides were present. Uncle
noling and auntie Malu were present, as well as uncle Agus and auntie
Dayday who were in the city that time came also. Ate Elna who was about to
fly back to Taiwan dropped by for dinner too. Same with Kuya Bebot. Ate
Milette and family who resides southern part of the city, came
understandably late. It was years before kuya Byan came home so it was
first time for some to meet Anna. Jorings' group was present too, from
her family to her mother in law and friends.
