Despedida

We’ve had a visitor for three weeks now… my aunt, uncle and cousin who are on vacation from the US. My aunt and uncle hadn’t been home for almost fifteen years and it is my cousin’s first time to visit the Philippines. She’s pure Filipino but she was born in the US.

They went to my dad’s hometown in Samar and spent most of their time here in Manila going to malls. I know it is kinda boring but they do have a lot to choose from. They’ve been to Glorietta and Greenbelt in Makati, Trinoma and SM North Edsa, 168 Mall in Divisoria, Greenhills Shopping Center, Eastwood Mall (it was my first time there too - the new one), and tomorrow they’re going to Mall of Asia. Too bad we weren’t able to bring them to Alabang and Ortigas areas anymore.

They’ll be going back home on Saturday and on Friday, we’re having a despedida get-together for them, which will be held at my uncle’s house. My uncle is excited already because he’ll be able to show-off his new garden. He’d been working on it for months now. And my aunt will be able to use her outdoor dining sets. Yay! Me, I’m excited about the food! Haha!
