Yung mga discoveries na talagang topak!
Monday, June 4, 2007
The other night, we got invited once again to Rani and Vangie's kids' birthday. Roni is 11 while Vaughn is 12. Last year, we were at Mahoney Park. This time, it was just at their house but the backyard was complete with water slides and such for the kids. Also, Rani had just finished his backyard gazebo and landscaping. It was nice seeing all our Pinoy friends all over again after not being around for quite a while.
We just realized that quite a handful of our friends live near us now, especially Joen's former roommate and ex-officemate, Fly and his wife, Sharon. Then there are the Han
kins family of Alex and Elena with kids Alexis and AJ. Plus Noel and Amia as well as Michael and Joyce. The usual took place-- overeating of Filipino foods (I gobbled this really yummy dinuguan and downed the pandan cake), drinking for the guys, singing... terribly singing. Hehe. Yesterday, Sunday, we all met up at our new church now, St. Vincent de Paul. V
ery lovely church from the inside and out. Our old church, St. Leo, which I fell in love with, is just too far for us now. Good thing St. Vincent is what it is because I can see myself going there every Sunday to stare at the overhead organ and carry on with our "Where art thine speakers, O Lord! Mine eyes can't find them!" search. Seriously, no speakers in sight. But Hoen and I are on a hunt. Hehe. Now that we know our friends are actually neighbors, we can drop by every so often. The only downside is that almost all of them are tagalog!
Me: Yes! Last Friday lang kami lumapit.
(Karen and Titit nod)
Joen: LUMIPAT. It's lumipat, not lumapit.
Karen: Lumapit na rin kasi nasa Bennington na kayo. O, diba?
How do you say it? Nakakahiya! Haha. Sige lang, I'll work on my Tagalog. And if I still suck, there's always english which is uhmm, the language of the very country we're all at.
