We arrived a little after 9am at the church. For the second time now, we were not able to hear Gabi and Bambam sing the Victory in Jesus (the first time was during AY program and we have to be in Cuneta Astrodome for Jimer’s singing group will sing in the SAM Anniversary). So I am expecting for some serious talks from the two girls for this.

When I went inside the church, I thought that it becomes smaller. Because I have the impression that it was bigger since the last time I went there which was around more than 12 years ago. One by one familiar faces approached us, but besides the relatives and the Jucal’s, I do not remember the others.

Our plane landed at around 10:08am in Silay City airport.  At last! After 12 years, I stepped again on the land where I was born.

This family trip is not planned.  Well you couldn’t say technically a family trip since the girls with Rabin and nanay were already in Himamaylan since Wednesday, Jimer is in Iloilo finishing some work and I was in Manila.  Due to the demands of living a normal life, we have to give up the opportunity of traveling together and spending more vacation time.  I was able to get permission for leave of absence for today only, that’s why I was the last to leave Manila.

Uncle Asher, Auntie Diding and Manong Alpha with Brix met me at the airport.  Since I will be meeting Jimer in Bacolod, I waited for him at SM Bacolod but the problem is, we do not know when he will be finished.  So from  12 noon I wandered inside the mall, and was surprised that I’ve been familiar with its every nook and corner.  Well who wouldn’t be if you have nothing to do for almost 8 hours! more…
