Number 14

Yesterday was the fiesta of our baranggay and well as usual, we were not involved on it like preparing foods and stuffs.  But the day was fun-filled!

First, my mother and I (with a neighbor) went to the cemetery to visit my stepfather.  We missed a week in going to his grave because my mother was not feeling well last week.  And later that afternoon, I dreamed of my stepfather.  So I guessed that was a sign that we need to visit him.

After that we went to our parish church to attend mass for the fiesta.  Wow!  There were a lot of priests! My mother was really amazed weehehe.  And the archbishop was also present.  Then we went to the one of the altar to light some candles.  D*mn I had some little burns in my fingertips because the candle holder was so slippery due to the wet paint.  And to make things worse, the wet black paint stuck to my fingertips so I ended up rubbing it the whole day!

To really celebrate the fiesta, we went to my aunt’s (cousin of my mama) house.  It was a surprise visit!  We went there for dinner.  There were so many people.  Since the foods were good, well there was no thinking twice to go for “round 2″ weeehehe So I just let my mama and my neighbor got the food for me because I’m left to watch for our table so that there would be no people replacing our spot.  When they came back, I’m so surprised because my plate was so full of foods! I’m like what the… are they feeding a pig?!

And the night came, I left my mama and my neighbor on the street because I had to go to my friend’s house.  Of course, I already asked permission to my mama days before.  I was too early when I arrived because some of my friends were not there yet.  There were some kids who kept asking me if I was number 14.  And I was like, What?! Who’s number 14?  And they said, “YOU!”.  Whatever! After that, when my friends arrived, they wanted to go to houses to eat some foods.  They were really feeling the fiesta!  I’m so full already and they didn’t believe me that I already took my dinner at other’s house.  So they really forced me to eat.  They asked, “what’s my purpose of being here in the fiesta?”  I had no choice.  I only ate pansit though, just taking it lightly.  My God forgive me! It’s gluttony!  After that, we found another house again to look for dessert! Weehehe.  We did not fail!  We found mango float! Mmmm…
After eating (a lot?), we all gathered to watch a singing contest.  My goodness, it was only for the oldies.  And I couldn’t stop laughing because my friends had been judging the contestants’ outfits.  There was this magician-look, the glittery suit.  So crazy!  But in fairness, eventhough they were boring to watch, some of them got that great voice quality.  It was so classic!  

After that…

oops! I gotta go for now…
