Post Hiatus

The laptop was finally fixed by my father during Halloween ("YEY!). But I had to fix files, programs, and other stuff before I was able to once again place a post here in my blog. Anyway, during the time I was not able to put posts, I stored all of my ideas for new ones here in this big old watermelon of a head. HAHA. Apart from that minor abberation regarding the laptop, I was able to find a lot of things to talk about in other posts...

This year, me and my peers were not able to celebrate a yearly occassion for us: halloween. We, apparently, are part of the few adults who apparently enjoy celebrating this event. We dress ourselves up and have a small halloween bash here for the past five years. What happened, you may ask. A neighbor, a father of four, died a few days before the said event, throwing all preparations "in the trash" so to speak. I feel remorse for the family he left behind, he was the breadwinner and his kids are still fairly young. My thoughts and prayers go to them.

Me, my sister, and our dad did our usual "All Soul's Day" trip to visit our long-gone relatives in the cemetery. My sis drove going to the cemetery, my dad going back home. The trip itself was fine, in fact it was great since I got to eat a lot of things that were being sold inside the memorial park. Hehe. The cemetery was jam-packed with people, much like the roads during rush hour. Specially in the mid-afternoon when the sweltering heat got to people. We were all sweating profusely. Too bad lots of people apparently did not know to place enough deodorant. Good thing I had my trusty handkerchief. Haha. The walk to the graves was quite long. There was only one entrance and exit area, and with the graves situated on the other side of the park, we had to walk twice as long. That day ended with the three of us eating dinner at my uncle's house.
