June 12, 2011. I invited the Honorio family, a family friend for lunch. As it was an unexpected invite from me, I went to the wet market early morning at 5:00 a.m. to buy whatever I can for the salo-salo (get together).
I grilled pork belly, my brother cooked larang, bought ngohiong and lechon manok. Desert were 2 gallons of selecta ice cream courtesy of one of my brother, the yummy mango of Cebu and the good old ice cold RC cola (as this was the only available soft drinks at the store of my cousin) completed our lunch . The get together was fun, chitchat here and there. My dad was so happy to see the family again after say, 10 years? not sure really but more or less in that span of time. Mama was happy to see the family too.
I had no enough sleep that time, still having jet lag but the salo-salo with an good old family friend was worth it.
I am very happy of the emotional support the family extended to us. Coming to our house for a simple get together is more than I can ask for as they made my parents happy to see them again.
It was just so unfortunate that with all my high-tech cameras, none was able to document the event as they were too busy eating and chitchatting. I was too busy to remember too. Sigh.. Anyhow, there's always a next time for everything, isn't it?
