A very good friend of ours celebrated her birthday at their home last October 22. Upon the request of the the birthday girl, we agreed to wear something red on her special day. The foods was so delicious and we really enjoyed the happy moments. I think her birthday party at home is already her third celebration because she really has lots of friends.
It was Mariz turn to host the get together cum potluck for neighbor friends last sunday. We called it a dimsum night because we feasted on siomai and other chinese foods. By the way, we're doing the every sunday dinner to help our dear friend Mabel to heal and move forward. Its not easy to lose a loved one so bonding with friends is one way of helping her.
Two days ago, we visited a sick cousin and some relatives in manila. Its a sort of reunion and we are very happy to see them once again. We also do some shopping at a nearby dapitan arcade and have an early dinner at jollibee before calling it a day.
The youngest grandaughter of my very good friend Yna Haskett turned 1 two days ago. Her name is Quinn Zia and she is adorable in her pink gown. Her birthday was attended by close friends and family members. To avoid covid 19 transmission, guests were divided into three groups with corresponding time, the first group are the couple's friends and family, next is the badminton group and we are the last, the southforbes neighbor friends. We really enjoyed the kiddie party with photo booth and the laughtrip with friends.
Though we are still in grief because of the loss of my only brother, we still attended the barbeque night with neighbor friends. Our weekly get together was held at Avery's house this time. We feasted on grilled meat, chicken, sausages, salads and many more. As usual we had lots of fun and we even used the massage chair for a more relaxing night.
Our family is in deep mourning because of the passing of my only brother last Wednesday. He is suffering from cancer and we witnessed his pain started years ago when his leg was amputated. Since then he was in and out of the hospital and suffered so much pain. Though we know that he is now in the good hands of the Lord and no more pain for him, its still painful on our part as his family. He was laid in state at Divine Mercy Chapel and buried at Everlasting Peace Memorial Garden. Some of his daughters who are based abroad are updated thru social media platforms, thanks to the new technology. A priest from St. Peregrine Church officiated the mass and last rites for our dear Manny or Awe as we called him. Brother, rest in peace and may your soul entered the kingdom of heaven. We will miss you and will always pray for you and the family you left behind here. Be our guardian angel and we know you, nanay and tatay will always watch over us.
