ALL SAINT'S DAY...PHILIPPINES STYLE

This picture was taken last year, October 25 when I visited my Dad on his 44th death anniversary.




























































































































































































































































We observe All Saint's Day, November 01, today. It's a tradition here in the Philippines to visit our departed loved ones...offered prayers and flowers in their resting place. My cousins(children of Tita Marcela who passed away last May, 2008) were with us in the cemetery the whole day. I and my sister, Ledgie, left Manila at 4:00am today for an early trip to Bulacan to avoid heavy traffic. My cousin Vicky was so busy preparing the place with flowers and candles. It was so nice and we had lunch/snacks there. It was like a family picnic hehehe. We left the place before 5:00pm,... had my diner in our house in PINAOD, took my shower and left for Manila by 6:30pm. It was a good day for us spending few hours with our relatives who have gone ahead of us in a journey called LIFE!!!
