Sunday is Family Day

I remember being a kid and spending Sunday dinners with my cousins. It was so much fun. A day spent just lounging around and having fun. We would play in the extension house, in the garden, in the groto, by the macopa tree! we played to our hearts content. Sadly the househelp got older and we got too many that it was really hard to just meet every Sunday. But those would always be treasured memories that helped make our family, no matter how crazy, close! :-)

Growing up with two brothers, i was always constantly teased. We would have tons of fights and they would always gang up on me. I guess that's how kids really are when they're growing up. It's always boys against girls and too bad for me I was an only girl but then again, that only meant I could play the boys picking on the only girl card. And I played that A LOT! ahaha

While at dinner with my brothers, we were laughing about all the crazy situations and ideas we used to have as kids. You see this all started when my younger brother said he couldn't believe he was related to us because we were so corny. I told him that's cause pulot lang siya sa basura (we just picked him up from the trash) hahaha...it was what we would tell him when he was being all gross and dirty when we were kids. My brother used to be scrawny. hahaha...thinking about it now it was mean but as kids it was all fun. Then I remember this old commercial about child slavery and child trafficking. That's when, as kids, we had the bright idea to sell my younger brother per kilo. hahaha...yes we were mean. It was fun. We all had our own share of evilness. Trust me. I was the butt of all cry baby jokes. What? I was sensitive. You can't blame me! hahaha...that and I was a wimp. At least I admit it. I've outgrown it, or at least have learned to use it to my advantage.

Memories are hilarious to look back on especially when you're part of a family that loves one another to enough to always play pranks on one another. Don't get me wrong, we've had our share of ups and downs but in the end. It's all good. I can only wish that by the time I have kids of my own, we'll be able to make memories like that as well. :)

When I have kids of my own we will do pancake Sundays and on special occasions waffle Sundays. I will make the effort to have dinner with the grandparents and the cousins cause I remember those were the days that were most fun. It's fun to plan and all but I don't want to be jumping the gun or anything. Everything in God's time.

I thank God each day for my family. They're the best people in the world despite the fact that they're looney most of the time and I love them more than anything or anyone.

Family will always be love. :)
