Frantic Fiesta

WelcAM to the Flying FIEesta. HOlD ON to YOR SeFtY bARRR.

So. I disappeared off the face of this planet to visit our rest house last thursday through sunday for the family reunuion/ fiesta. I came to the realization that I'm growing old. And so are my cousins and well, relatives. Last time I checked, they were wee little things and all of a sudden they've sprouted like... daisies. It was chaotic- pig roasting on a spit, three barangays worth of families and raving drunk relatives. Not even the 'secluded' hammock corner was safe.

I'm just listing a 'few' things. It might not be of any interest to anyone else so there's no need to read everything or to read it all, for that matter. I'm just sticking it here so I don't forget. You know, in case I need proof that the madness really did happen.

1. Lazed around in the hammock.
2. Christened the new puppies 'Pancake' and... 'Pancake, too'. Fat puppehs. Cyootness. When you flip them on their backs, their tubby bellies look like pancakes. Brilliant logic, eh?
3. Puzzled over why the front of Kaori's ( my cousin pamangkin) hair is flattened on her forehead. I attempted to fix it. Several times. I accept defeat.
4. Visited cousins and their friends. (Actually, I'm not so sure if they're my cousins. I just know we're somehow related so I assume we're cousins)
5. Lazed around.
The next day...
6. Lazed around in the hammock.
7. Saw the pig on a spit. Then I patted it on the head for its troubles.
8. Noon: Feasted on aforementioned pig.
9. Kuya Jojo is all boozed up. Terrorized the ickle children.
10. I *gasp* joined a religious procession. We walked all over the whole bloody village. To be honest, me and my cousins were more preoccupied with keeping the candles lit. Extremely difficult as the wind just wouldn't stop.
11. More children arrived in the night. Jerome, my deranged little squishee, found me and refused to let me stray away from him for more than seconds. At some point I even deigned to give him a piggy back ride. He's just lucky that he's so cute, dammit
12. We went to the 'Perya,' the kind with them rickety-ass rides. I actually thought the ferris wheel was creepy, not because it was spinning really fast, I was afraid it would, uh, break, right in the middle.
13. Played toss yir coin, win a lame prize. I won one glass. Ain't I cool? I didn't see any freak shows or fortune-telling places. Lot's of bingo and stalls selling cheap and occasionally nifty things, though.
14. 1:00 am - Threw a (totally justifiable) major hissy fit. I'll explain some other time. It just makes my blood boil.

Now for my - things I found out about that disturbed me list:
1. Somebody still has a
2. Kaori has a crush on a first degree cousin ----> Eeeewww. Sick. Wrong. WRONG.
3. Kaori found out that somebody else has a . What makes this wrong is we're also . Doh.

I'll stop now. x_X
