It’s sooo hot today. Even with the car airconditioning in full blast, driving through south expressway, we could still feel the heat from outside. We went to duty free shopping, mainly to get my Inay a new blender. The place, located close to the airport, was chaotic. And of course they had to impose this mess to everyone, by limiting the route of shoppers to one where everyone has to go through every section and every shop in the whole building. We also bought some whiskey for my Itay, his preferred alcohol.
I guess this frees us from our main christmas present requirements. The rest is a cinch. It's a good thing that the family politics is still well and alive. You take care of those high up in the pecking order, they take care of the rest. It's something so obviously still in place even with the kids. The younger ones listen to and look up to the older ones. With so many kids in the family, it's a relief that everything and everyone has, and knows, his own place, and responsibility is something left to trickle down the hierarchical chain. The danger, of course, if someone breaks the chain at any point.
The pictures, top and above, are of the family house where we're staying.

Joey,I can still remember the original house in Carmona especially the kitchen and dining area..is this a new one?...by the way,we moved to TMC(trece) from bacoor in '96...we just need a new house coz it is always under water everytime it rains.But whenever I have a dream it will always be our old house.
Your family house is beautiful!...
same reason why we had a new house built - the old one was flooded. how often do you go back to TMC?
