A Family Reunion is a great idea.

Time: 9:47 p.m.
Now Playing: "The Hardest Part" by Coldplay.
Where: In my bedroom.

The feeling of the compilation of the members of one's clan or one's family is truly one of the best highlights of our life. It gives us the uplifting that someone really cares about you because the family's name is not only by one, is by multiples. Even thought you have problems or downfalls, you have the rest of the family to help you and don't ever say that nobody loves you.

Moving along... too emotional. What a crybaby. Anyway, yesterday, August 8, we had a family reunion in Los Baños, Laguna... where one of my uncle lives. They hosted the said reunion and actually, they started this thing last year and I think it will be an annual event for our family.

It all started when my grandmother to my father's side, passed away (R.I.P Grandma Juling), and after the burial ceremony, we took a grand picture with the whole family wearing the immaculate white tops, a symbol of peace. There's talks of a reunion all of a sudden and it came into a reality.

I must say the family reunion this year was doubled compared to last year's reunion because many of us or unanimously of us attended, it's nearly completed, plus the fact that my family was complete. Last year, my father and I were the attendees representing our family. Nothing's different if I compare the reunion of last year to this year's.

The fiesta-type of celebration like some drink-o-holic station outdoors, foods galore indoors with some chit-chat of their memories, not just the usual chit-chat, others are chatting each other on Facebook, which is kewl. Literally. I mean it. We brought our laptop together with my uncle's set of laptops, which is totally rare. I played with my fellow cousins, while playing my own game with my gaming friend outside Los Baños, he's from Batangas right now, beat him good. Nobody cares.

It was a day of bonding, picture-taking and celebration that we shared on that day. It was fun while it lasted. There's rumours of a swimming event this Saturday, which is another reunion extravagant, that I heard but I'll dig it to that for sure with our family.

I can't wait for another reunion next year, we should do this every year for a living. Without this family reunion, I must say, our lives will be a piece of nil souls.

Thanks a lot.
