this year's undas (all saint's and soul's day) was different from all those that i've experienced since lolo died in 1991. this year, mom and dad were here, we stayed until 6 p.m.. there was food, table and chairs, guests and even logan and bochok were with us!

we prepared some of the food the night before. we had barbeque, grilled bangus and tilapia, banana bread (one of the best i've ever had), peach mango pie, mango bars, chicken empanada, lolo's gin (which we didn't drink but wanted to :)) and of course mom's spaghetti salad (which i will devote a post to). lolo and lola's guests brought some pancit and brownies.

whew! we got there before twelve noon and you could just imagine how hot it was. but, the tent and additional bedsheets (instant shade) shielded us from the sun. logan and bochok were either sitting on my sister's lap or digna's or they were barking at passers-by.

here are some photos i took when i wasn't eating or sleeping (hehehehe)
