Sa Nitso ng Lolo Ko (Undas 2004)

oo... sa nitso ng lolo namin yan.

Yes, this picture was taken atop our grandpa's graveyard. Hehehehhe. Kung makapag-posing eh akala mo wala sa sementeryo!!! Kinareer!

You see in our province, Nueva Ecija (and i guess most in the Philippines), Undas is considered to be one of the most "festive" days in the year. Traffic flow is rerouted just to accompany everyone going and coming from the cemetary. All the teenagers seem to dress their best (just like Christmas!) Everyone get to see all their old friends again. Everyone get to be reunited with their relatives - dead or alive. We never saw this day as a sorrowful day, but a blessed day. We say a prayer for the dead and pray for those who are still with us too.

I miss my Lolo most during Christmas (You can see his picture on the backmost middle part)...
