I Love My Family

Posted on: 27th of January 2004 | Under: Life & Love

I love my family and when I say that, I don’t just mean my immediate family. I love my family as a whole. My aunts, uncles and cousins too. The Viduya clan (maternal side) is pretty big. My mom has 6 brothers and 5 sisters (they’re 12 all in all) and there are already 34 of us grandchildren and one great grandchild. Yes, the family is that big.

It’s just so much fun that way, really. I love getting together with everyone. It’s literally one big party when we’re together. The house is packed with loud people talking, singing, laughing, eating and playing games everytime. It gets exhausting having everyone over, but it’s still fun.

So yeh, even if my little cousins turn my room upside down when they’re over, I still don’t mind too much. I’m happier with just the thought of getting to spend some time with them.

Anyway, one of my aunts and uncles flew back from San Francisco on Sunday, so it was a great excuse for everyone to get together here at home. We’re all fond of taking and posing for pictures, and we did quite a lot of that on Sunday. ^_,~;;

Here are some of them…

It would be great to have one big reunion. We’ve never had a get together with everyone present. It’s hard getting everyone to fly back here all at the same time. I guess that’s what happens when you have a huge family. XP hehe.

    That’s the fun of family.. all of you guys getting together and just unwinding and enjoying the presence of each other! =D And in fact, family isn’t whole unless there is acknowledgement of all of them, right? Sure, there’s nuclear family and what not, but I’m sure you know what I mean! ^_^;;
    Beautiful entry! =D
