I Know a Place, OUR PLACE

I know a place, where no one ever goes
There's peace and quiet, beauty and repose
It's hidden in a valley, beside a mountain stream
And lying there beside the stream I find that I can dream.

Oh, what a place of beauty to the eye
Beautiful mountains towering towards the sky
Now I know that God has made this world for me.

One can imagine, himself as in a dream
Climbing a mountain or down a small ravine
The magic of this peace and quiet always will stay
To make this place a haven each and every day
Oh how I wish I never had to leave
And all my life, such beauty to receive
Now I know that God has made this world for me.

Still under construction. If you need help brother, tell me. As of now, I have time available to tweak.

Toilet Training

Zannelle is not the right teacher, Zach (or is it Xavy?). That's not the way boys pee. But the twins' model is Zanny. So what Zanny does, Zach and Xavy do, too.

Richard's Dinner with Fr. Frairie

Dinner at Mario's with Fr. Frairie.

Zanny & Me in Black & White

Ganda me, ganda u. Di ba, Zanny?

Background: Loacan, during the parti

While we were in Loacan:

Jannah and her mom posed for "Who's the fairest of them all?"

My vote goes to...

Of course, Jannah. Charming.

The mama? Pa-charming. Hihihi

Red vs Zanelle

Juice drinking contest. Who is winning? Zanelle, of course. Bottoms up. Red? He was saying: Mom, this pineapple juice tastes nothing.

Auntie Adela's Parti in Loacan

Auntie Adela in black, (right). Still in her "tengaw'. With this parti, she hopes to lessen the days she could do nothing but stay in black and limit herself with a lot of things, such as going to places, fixing herself, etc. As usual, tay inayan. Iyadin di amam-a. I guess what they did with this butchering of pigs and chickens was to read the biles of these poor animals to tell them if it is okay for auntie if she could short cut her tengaw. kas-ano pimanen ngay ti businesswoman? I was not able to research about the rationale of this occassion ngay gayam.

As you see beside auntie, there are 2 tiklis of pork and chicken. Their share. The other tiniklis were taken by the lalakay. The other parts were given to the people. Bingit. For lunch, we ate pancit with a sprinkling of kudil, dinardaraan, bassit nga karne, and the usual rice. The liver, and the other good spare parts? Well, for the lalakay. Auntie butchered enough pigs and chickens to feed the whole neighborhood. However, these were meant for rituals. We did have our bingay. I have to cook it in the pressure cooker for so long and still tough. I just hope the meat were cooked good in Loacan and shared and enjoyed sufficiently by the people. Anya? Di ba?

This we have to think about in the case of dad and ma. The old people here are demanding in following the culture and quite difficult to counter unless our own folks would tell us specifically what to do later.
