Seedbook 52: Today I Learned

  • Today, I learned that the celebration of All Saints Day is not as solemn as before. We went  to Pampanga to visit the grave of our dead relatives. When I was younger, November 1 is like a reunion for our family. Almost all of my relatives are there and me and my cousins would be together playing all day. But that was it. Yesterday, I saw a lot of people bringing TONS of food in the cemetery. It seemed that there's a fiesta going on; different families brought spaghetti, dinuguan, caldereta, softdrinks and a whole lot more. It seems like I was in a bloc part. tss.
  • I learned that my mom has so maaaaaaaannnnnnnny relatives. They already fil up 20%-30% of the cemetery.
  • My mom's dad's mother (my great grandfather) is younger by one year than my great grandfather.
  • Half of the people in the cemetery know my family or know one of my relatives.
