Full Speed Ahead

This is my last post for a very flimsy 2009 as far as this blog's concerned. See you all in 2010!

Happy New Year!

BACK BITES ::: Annual Headcount

Today is my Lola Delang's birthday and she would've been 100-something years old. Sorry, I forget. :D I fondly remember the celebrations to be early Christmas gatherings where aunts, uncles, cousins, and neighbors would gather on the property the day before to help in preparations. The grown-ups would be busy chopping, chatting, and cooking till late in the evening while the kids run around, up and down, playing all sorts of games and laughing till they send us to bed. Then on the day itself, relatives from all over would start arriving at noon in their fancy cars with driver and maid in tow. Lola Delang would greet them, ask about whoever didn't show up, why, and the annual headcount would begin.
