We found this faded picture of the second generation of Efipanio and Andrea Vega clan. The picture got so many comments from the new generations in our face book account. Nobody in the picture smiled and we enjoyed their poses and fashion statements.
We the third generation tried to imitate the faded picture; we posed as our parents did. From left:Ida marie daughter of Erlinda, Gem-daughter of Fidela, Me- daughter of naty, Diamel daughter of Cecilia and Rjhon -son of Ruben
Can’t wait for the following generations to laugh at our poses.
The formative period for building character for eternity is in the nursery. The mother is queen of that realm and sways a scepter more potent than that of Kings. Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible!
My Aunty Ida prepared a blow out for her Son and Daughter Attorney. She secretly planned it from her children. She connived us to prepare the party and the program to be held at the ancestral house of Efipanio and Andrea, a celebration of the Family’s Victory. They spent the whole day in Tagaytay while my other Aunties and Uncle prepared the food.
Without Aunty Ida knowing we planned the other way. We focus the celebration in giving honor to her as the proud and supportive mother. I secretly talked to her daughter Ida Marie to prepare a speech for her Mom.
Aunty Ida was so surprised with the tarpaulin I designed; her younger picture carrying her two babies now lawyers. You could see the glitter in her eyes as her two successful lawyer children put a Leigh in her neck…as people applaud for her as she was the real “Star of the Night”…Clap! Clap! Clap for Tita Ida! Congratulations to Dr. Erlinda Vega Escolano!
It was 3:00 p.m. I sent a text message to my cousin Ida congratulating Atty. BJ his brother for passing the bar exam. She then called me back…asking if the Bar result was out already, they were in the mall that time strolling around… I just answered not yet but I am announcing it now, are you still doubting Bj’s result? I asked. She said that I was a crazy woman and hanged up.
I kept on posting in Bj’s face book that he should enjoy his last day as Bj for just a moment he will be Attorney Bj, the new lawyer.
Part of me was praying hard that he really did well in his bar Exam. We were very supportive during the examination that we even experienced the fierce of Typhoon Ondoy. There was a report that only 5% passed the taxation examination. Though Bj is a certified public accountant he vowed that taxation was the worst part of the test.How will I console my Aunty if Bj did not make it?
At 9:00 pm, a call from hysterical mother “He passed! My son Passed the Bar! And then hanged up!
Congratulations Attorney Benjamin Escolano Jr.!
I am so glad he really passed the Bar Exam because far beyond the real result I announced it already.
One of the best parks in the Philippines is Enchanted Kingdom. When I was in College I could just see the park from afar in South Luzon Highway. Finally this year I got a chance to see and enjoy the park with my Office mates.
We tried first the Merry Go round, a simple ride that we really enjoyed. My officemates teased me that the horse I was riding will retire and shall run to administrative offce to complain my heavy weight.
But the funniest part for me and I just secretly laughed when I saw a nun in her skirt riding the horse. I wanted to ask her if she also enjoyed riding the horse...Wow the park is really for everybody to enjoy. It is for everyone.
Then we watched their 3d movies and Chinese dancers since it was Chinese New year when we got there. We rode the biggest Ferris wheel, I could hardly move, so afraid that may companions really laughed at me. I had pictures gripping and never let go of the steel bars. They asked me to take their pictures but I told them that no matter what happen I will not move and let go of my grip. The Rio Grande Rapids was the best for me, though I got really wet I liked the falls and the excitement offered by the ranged river.
There were also magical shows in theaters and Mulan musical shows. For those who could not enjoy their head aching rides they can still enjoy the indoor activities in the park. We got bubble head for remembrance, dancing bodies with our head on it. Each of us had our own copy to watch.
We tried to enter the Horror booth; the three of us were left by our other companions. After almost 30 minutes of contemplating whether to go or not, we decided to enter locked hands altogether with another frightened group. When we entered a loud demon voice were played and we saw ourselves ran back at the entrance in 3 seconds. We really laughed as how chicken we were. The funny part was our other office mates were at the exit waiting to terrify us; they were so surprised when they saw us coming from the side of the booth. So funny that we backed out when we had seen no ghost at all.
We ended the day in Enchanted Kingdom by watching the 30 minutes Fireworks.
What a magical way to spend your day. Enchanted Kingdom thanks a lot.
We had our company summer outing in MalabrigoLobo, Batangas, Philippines.
The beach was fabulous, with black stones and smooth pebbles, the scenery was untouched and so natural, the ocean has big waves at times which was very ideal for surfing.
Beach Staff were courteous and friendly, very typical traits in province people. They prepared our foods like a feast and treated us all as V. I. P's.
The resort got nice rooms and facilities. Small nipa huts with air-condition and bathroom. They got a villa near the beach with videooke bar and billiard tables. You could sleep under the Sampaloc trees with hammocks for more relaxation, stroll around in the light house nearby with a very nice over looking scenery…if you wish to have soothing massage, a traditional hilot with coconut oil was just in place, a very ideal place for rest and vacation…you and the beach, the sounds of the wind and nature...you inside the peaceful nature.
We had fun filled activities in Malabrigo; the group was divided into three teams, green, blue and yellow. Each team prepared cheers and chants,we had apple eating contest and banana eating contest. "lay your body in the sand for an answer"…in this game we had so much fun and so much bruises as other members of the team pulled one another just to form the letters.The mechanics were to answer the questions as fast as you can buy forming bodies into corresponding letters in the ground, once formed the leader should raise her hand... I constantly raised my hand and called judges attention even when we're not ready...but my technique worked...we won the game.
The other exciting game was filling the bucket with water; we hurriedly ran in the water wet ourselves and fill the bucket by squeezing the water out of our clothes. You could see the persistent teams running from ocean to shore; we were the first team to fill the bucket. Only to discover that my team mate secretly put a big black rock in it, we were disqualified. Unforgettable experience for all of us…imagine we even desperately squeezed the foams of our bras for water just to win and later on be banned as winner. Others loathed what our team mate had done however that added so much fun; we nearly drowned him in the sea.
The day ended blissful and enjoyable.
The night was Hawaiian party;after dinner we dressed up in colorful floral dresses and enjoyed the bonfire. We clapped as one by one get out of their cottages with magnificent outfit. We had Leigh hanged in our necks and beautiful flowers in the ear. We had bottom less drinks and we really party all night. We ramped and showed our colorful costumes to the crowd. We really enjoyed the conservative employee’s costumes as well as the liberated group who showed so much skin. Tweet twit... guys really enjoyed scenery in Malabrigo.
In the morning with hang over and too little sleep we climbed and hiked the Malabrigo light house. We walked and stopped as we caught our breath not only with so much expiration with the leg stretching stairs but with the best scenery Malabrigo offered. I f I could only collect big white rocks but way to heavy...so I settled for smaller one...my mom appreciated the rocks that i brought not for garden decoration purpose but for her bathing...LOL
