Meron bagong game dito called Pinoy Henyo. You will have to guess the word taped on your forehead within a time limit (2 mins). Bibigyan ka ng clue. You have a partner or teammate na pwede mong tanungin about the word. Ang pwede lang nya isagot sa yo ay Yes or No.
Sample --- word is "SPOON"
you: Tao ba to?
Pakner: no
you: hayop?
Pakner: no
you: bagay?
Pakner: yes
you: nakikita ba to sa bahay?
Pakner: yeeeesss!
... and so on until you guess the word or you run out of time. Nakakatuwa tong game na to kaya every family gathering-- Christmas, New Year, birthdays eh nilalaro namin to. Recently, attend kami sa 60th birthday ng Tita ni Switham. May game na ganito eh boys vs girls. Reklamo kami ng reklamo na nandadaya ang mga boys eh di nila alam mas madaya kami. Alam na namin kung ano yung mga words, tawa kami ng tawa kasi siempre nung turn ko na, pretend pa kunwari na tanong ako ng tanong. After 20 seconds, sinabi ko na sagot, he he.
 
Attended a Mcdonald's children's party. Ang shop ang gumawa ng princess gown ng celebrant na si Rizza and Lizzie Mcguire attire ng aking pamangkin na si Dominique.
 
Sumali ako sa games, kakatuwa kasi nanalo kami eh :) Won a toy binoculars na inarbor naman ng pamangkin kong si JC. Ang sarap ng McDonalds specially their caramel sundae, grabe. Buti na
lang may 24 hours open na McDonalds kaya minsan madaling araw eh dinadayo pa namin yan :)

Eulogy-a spoken or written composition in praise of a person’s life

 
My Lolo Tisyo (my dad’s uncle) passed away last week. My sister and I went to the wake and joined in the “paghahatid” (convoy from the memorial chapel to the burial site). At the site, the family released butterflies and balloons. All the butterflies flew away except for one who lingered near my lolo’s casket. It was the butterfly released by my Lola Miling (my Lolo Tisyo’s wife).

My Uncle Cesar, my lolo’s eldest son was tasked with giving the eulogy. Listening to him speak evoked memories of my father. When my dad passed away years ago, the task of giving the eulogy was assigned to me. I found an empty bench and began with a blank notebook, trying to list all of my father’s qualities, one on every page then expounding on each. My Kuya, upon seeing the several pages that I have completed commented “wag sobrang haba, mga ten minutes lang”. My task then became difficult--- how do you sum up a man’s life in ten minutes? Impossible. Unless you take out all the details and you’re left with just the frame of the life he has lived. At the church, I think it took me longer than ten minutes to say my piece because I broke down in tears several times. Looking back, the trip to the hospital, the wake, the eulogy, the interment, those were easy. The most difficult part was coming home and he wasn’t there anymore.
