Family Love

This weekend was such a great experience. i love my family. Taa family. it wasn't even 1/5 of the Taa family!

On Saturday, we had a prayer at my cousin's house for my grandma who passed away last month. Watched Harold and Kumar Guantanamo Bay (unrated?) haha. im thinking so because they showed nude people. umm. ate spent alot of time with my cousin Darrel. man do i miss that fool or what. Sang kareoke. &watched a video of my grandma's funeral. went home around 11:30pm. yeah hecka early cause everyone needed some sleep since we were all going out the next day.

On Sunday, woke up around 9:00am by my brother. got ready took a shower. my dad drove the hummer. we all met up at my cousin's house that we were at on saturday morning. Left the pines around 11:15am. took hwy237 then exited to hwy101.My oldest cousin who drove his car wanted to lead the way so 4 cars all together followed each other. He ended up bringing us to the wrong place! We told him to lead us to Golden Gate Bridge. so my uncle who drove another car led the way instead. stopped at Pier39 cause oldest cousin was lost. hahah! the adults went bathroom while all the kids stayed outside and gave my cousin directions on the phone. went into a gift shop. spend $20 on weird stuff. haha. then we all went to Bubba Gumps to eat. we were a equal of 20familymembers. haha. so it was me,aaron,kayla and manong darrel on the booth while the other kids + adults were on those long tables. the 4 of us were super de duper hungry so my manong darrel ordered us some onion rings for appetizers. haha the ones sitting at the long tables were staring (manong boyet. jomar. maec. jr brandon. auntie pianing & them) haha. it was HOT but super good. after we finished the appetizers we were asked for our orders so kayla got coconut shrimp with fries. aaron got stuffed shrimp. and manong and i got ribs with fries. while we waited for our order.. the others ended up getting shrimp cocktail for appetizers. haha and would share. but it was all good. took pictures with manong's d60 til the food came. acted retarded. then food came. OH MAN it was sooo deeeeelicious. the rib bones came off the meat just like that. damn. yeah so we ate ate ate. shared. finished and the total for all 20 of us was $504. daaamn right. walked to a dock and i looked through those telescope things to see what's at alcatraz and i saw some people outside. then the boat came driving by near the dock and then all the parents were like "lets just take it. we're already here. might as well ride it." so my manong boyet paid for the cruise which was $247 for all 20 of us? his wife didn't give out the tickets to us which pissed of the ticket ripper lady. haha. first we all squished in front of a green screen to take a picture before we go on the cruise. and the person who took the picture with a D40 looked so much like Tila Tequila. i wanted to take a picture with her but others were waiting in line to take their picture with the greenscreen. okay so it was me my uncle and my cousin's wife were last because the lady ripper is a bitch! my cousin's wife tried to explain to her what the ticket seller told her but the bitch was like "mam. you need a ticket. i cant have you on without a ticket. you're holding up the line." so then my cousin's wife goes to the ticket seller.. and the ticket seller ended up arguing with the ticket ripper. ahah. and then the ticket seller said she apologizes. dude why cant that bitch be like the ticket seller. damn. and before all this .. i walked by the ticket ripper and she ended up stepping back which ended up stepping on my shoes! and she said "excuse me!" with a fuckn attitude. i was like "the fuck you the one who backed up" and i walked away. hahah shit. oaky so got on the boat. went to the top of the boat and sat there with the rest of my cousins. boat started. i freaked out for a little bit. then it went faster. the boat took us under the golden gate bridge and then turned around towards alcatraz. they played something on the speakers and it told us stories about people in alcatraz. scaryshit! while listening .. it started raining so everyone on top went inside. bought hot cocoa and sat on the booth couches or whatever you call it. and then when we got back to pier 39. got off and it was raining MORE! gah i forgot my umbrella in the car too. so we all ended up going inside the gift shop again at pier 39. bought some souvenirs. then we took the stairs that leads us to the parking garage. the stairs brought us to a little bridge over the street. took pictures there. uh got inside the car. and i fell asleep the whole ride back home. we chilled at my cousin's house. we ate dinner there. lechon pancit fried rice and more. and then went home. tried to finish up homework but failed. slept at 2am.

Hey Guys,

Sorry for not blogging daily when i promise i would. Last Thursday, Friday & Saturday have been the hardest for me. Rest in Peace Trifonia Blaquera Taa. I really miss you Nanang. It's different when i come to your house and not see you around watching TFC. I always expect to you see you when i come over but now that you aren't here anymore, it wont be the same. you've been there since i was born & from then on, you've helped me become who i am now. You were the shield to keep us safe from danger, the one who would comfort all your grandkids when we would cry because our parents went to work. Even when you weren't feeling well, you'd take care of us. Nang, you've done so much and words arent enough to explan how much we all thank you.

Thursday[first viewing]
February 26, after school my uncle picked up my cousin & i from school. went home. ate. and got ready to leave for my grandma's first viewing. When we got to Lima around 5:30pm, I saw the rest of my cousins outside. I went inside and saw many faces that i haven't seen for a long time. When i looked at the casket, i saw her lying there. She looked happy. Since there were snacks & whatnot, my auntie told me and my cousin to go eat. There were muffins, donut holes, pancit, small and i mean small water bottles & soda. D60 mode. My dad came around 7:00pm. When he came to see her, he broke down. My auntie & him started crying. They got out of hand and my kuyah Mario held my dad back, but i think it pissed off my dad. i dont blame them for our lost. she needed to go. its better seeing her with God than seeing her with tubes and wires on her in the hospital. We left the viewing around 8:30ish. Got home went on AIM and chatted with people til AM time. Slept at 2am.

Woke up at 6:55am and got ready for a half day of school. Got to school, went to the lockers and went to first period. We took a chapter test. I sit alone in that class now cause Mr. Mark Caronongan got switched out ): 2nd period started to fall asleep. Didnt get caught. Break wasn't much. Lockers & then went to the office to get a off campus pass. Went to 3rd. TEACHER'S ASSISTANCE. Nothing much in that class. i just sat there watching Charmaine. hehe. So since that was the last period i was gunna attend, I walked Charmaine to her 4th & chilled for awhile til she was done changing. I left charmaine and drove home. My mom and i headed to Lucky7 (its like Ocean Supermarket) to buy ingredients to make palabok for the prayer on Saturday Night. went home. ate and left with my cousin and uncle to Lima since my parents went to do some errands. My aunties and uncles were already there unloading food from the car. There was pancit, pizza, aroscaldo (sp?), chicken, wraps & more. Chilled. Cousins are stupid for walking around the cemetary.They got introuble by some dude that works there since they werent with an adult. D60 & D40. Wi-Fi internet. caught up with cousins i havent seen lately. The thing started around 6:45. I was suppose to do a speech but i backed down. Everyone in the room was family but still i couldnt do it. I cried a little when manong Darrel did his speech. All the grandkids did. After the speeches the grandkids & kids put roses in the casket & said our thank yous' & goodbye. I couldnt keep my tears from falling so my eyes started balln like a water fountain. Manong Darrel and i stook there. Cried. We put our rose in the casket. I felt my grandma's hand and it was super cold. Sat down in the 2nd row and continued to cry. Father from st. john's left and everyone in the room got in line to see her one last time. Ate. D60 mode. Jason slept over that day. we went to my other cousin's house for a little get together or iuno. Watched a movie but didnt finish. left around 1:30am. Jason watched Titanic alone thinking I was awake until he checked.
