Ancheta Family Reunion

I am now locked up at my studio pad, for a complete rest! I hate being sick and the worst part is, you have to take care of yourself alone most of the time. Because friends are working and they also have their own lives and families to look after to. But anyway, I am still blessed to have my friend's support, concern and prayers most importantly. 

I miss my family in these times, my brother and his family is back home in the Philippines, Papsi, Mamsi and the kids are in Canada, my sister is 30 minutes away from me (that is 100-120kph---- fast huh!). A Family is very important in one's life, its like fudge brownie with mostly sweet and with few nuts ^_^  Thank God that we have high technology that we can easily communicate with our families. But I still feel sad not being with them physically. 

Have done all sorts today, it's only 4 o'clock in the afternoon I have recorded a new inspirational song which I will upload later on as I need to finish the video, watched TV (shed a tear seeing Dolphy's wake and his family's Eulogy), chatted with a friend (made me smile ^_^), talked on the phone for hours, ate just a piece of banana, vegies for brunch (i don't have the appetite to eat --- good huh! i'll lose weight with this!) and slept for hours (was just awaken by the call of my colleague to check how am i doing --- i am really moved with the people who are so concern of me). 

Whew! When you are at home for quite sometime you don't know what to do anymore. Well, I was browsing the Facebook and looked at the different albums of my account. The Ancheta Family Reunion has caught my eye, after 20++ years the whole family met again. I remember when I was younger and Mama Luchie was still alive we usually have our family reunion every year.We usually showcase our talents, eat a lot, and of course the gift giving as we usually hold the reunion during the Christmas month. And because many of us 3rd generation went abroad and had families the reunion was discontinued. Until the youngest among the Ancheta Siblings, Auntie Cyn planned to organize this Grand Reunion in coordination with my cousins who were in the Philippines. I must say they all did a good job! After many years i guess more than 2 decades my Uncle Peter and My Auntie Carmen went back home to the Philippines. The venue was filled with lots of laughter, tears, music and FOOD!!!! Each one of us were happy to see every one!
