wake

the one good thing about wakes is the countless hours spent bonding/laughing with my brothers and sister while finishing all the wake food.

realizations/what I love about them:

1.) ate is a brilliant ditz

how she can be both at the same time is beyond me. One minute, she’s so clueless, the next, she knows the answers to everything

2.) ate’s wacky sense of humor

ex. don’t the chickens at the bottom row of the trucks get pissed cause all the other chickens poop on them?

ex. angel quiogue is actually a superhero with the moniker “angel of death”. his superpowers include: lulling his villains to sleep by means of all the funeral songs, his car is the “Angel-hearse”, his secret hideout is the zeus-like temple in manila memorial park

3.) It’s with them that I can laugh my loudest and heartiest. I realized I haven’t laughed that hard since God-knows-when.

4.) Lio’s tactless/insensitive sense of humor (ulul mo! gago ka!)

5.) liro’s a chickboy in USTe. (check out his wallet for all the girls)

6.) lafi’s my punching/hitting/slapping/pinching/poking bag

7.) kuya led has never been our driver

8.) kuya lon’s hilarious kwento about tito ben (B-DEO Enterprises in UP Manila)

9.) Our laughs, when combined, drowns out everyone else in the room.

10.) kuya led finishing all my food

11.) kuya lon’s witty remarks

me: “Kuya , are you rich?”

kuya: “yes! very!!! hahahahaha!!!”

or

Kuya: “so lio, how much are you earning?”

lio says an amount

kuya: “oh, a pitiful amount!!! (complete with the british accent)

12.) liro’s free throw dance/echo-is-the-dynamite dance

13.) lio’s remarks about vince’s life

14.) lafi being the star in the family ("oh! this is lafi? he’s so big now!!")

15.) this WHOLE week, I’ve felt the happiest with them

joey has a suggestion: we should just wear placards with our names on it and our position (ex. I’m lei, #6) or ma should just get our bio-data, have them photocopied, then distribute them to the guests so we can all avoid the dreaded roll call.
