Meet the Relative


In the morning my auntie called me up, to pick up the Barong for my nephew and the nephew of my sister-in-law for the wedding tomorrow, the time was 1.00 pm not later than 3.00 pm. I had lunch at home at around 1.00 pm and left our house at 1.30 pm and I think I arrived in the city proper at 2.15pm and traveled going to my auntie's place at 2.30, so it almost took me 15 minutes to travel from the city proper using the public transportation. When I arrived in there, I saw my uncle, which is the wife of my dad's sister and then I kissed him on his cheek and while looking around their house is aw my auntie and uncles, the sister and brothers of my late father and then, I am not used to blessing the hand of the elder people so I kissed all their cheeks. While I was talking to them, I think I was, or I hardly talked to them, I saw my cousin, the daughter of my late auntie and the guy that I thought to be my uncle's relative was my cousin's husband. I just went there to get the formal clothes.

My cousin together with his husband to be tomorrow dropped me off near our house, and then when I arrived in our house, I just drank a glass of water and then I went to bed and fell asleep, then I woke up at six pm and fixed myself then brought the car with me and went to gas station, when I was about to finished refilling the gas tank of our car, my uncle gave me a rang and then he was asking if where we were, I told him I was on my way already to Chicken Deli in Lacson Street across the famous lagoon. Before that, the pump boy told me that I am not allowed to use the phone in the gas station, I knew that, but it was an important call, but I saluted him for bravely telling me that, I just smiled back at him, and I was so happy he told me that, why get mad at him, he was just one good employee informing their customers of what is right and not.

When I reached the chicken place or restaurant, there was no parking area, so what I did was I made a U-turn in Lacson street which supposedly I am not allowed to have any turn going left, but it was not time so I was able to made it. I hurriedly crossed the busy, scary street of Lacson and headed inside the Chicken Deli, there I saw my uncles, aunties, cousins, niece, nephew and the friends of my cousin. After we had our dinner, my older cousin and her son together with her beloved soon to be husband, I think, went around the Capitol Lagoon and she was looking for the sculptured water Buffalo that faces the main street, which I can not remember if it exist during my time, since the only water Buffalo I knew was the two animal facing each other which was separated by the lagoon.

I left early, and I drove home, safe and happy.
