Webcam Shots at the Sala
Mama at the background of the last shot. Also met a few cousins of our cousins: Am who is still in high school but ridiculously taller than I am (who I got to beat at chess! Heehee) and her younger brother Jan. Also notice my cousin Utoy who impressively builds his biceps and triceps but annoyingly called me a faggot as he bade me goodbye upon boarding the bus for home.
My ever humble younger-in-denial-of-being-a-danseur cousin: Karl who-also accuses me of so many absurdities like me deliberately touching his butt and exaggerates my crush to Don Lemon and Alfie Enoch to a fetish for black people.
With handsome cousin Gadong and adorable cousin Jap who are brothers
Ate Faye- the oldest cousin among all 12 cousins at my father's side. It has been pointed out that I shouldn't be referring to her as ate since she's just a month older but it would be so awkward since the rest of our cousins call her Ate Faye and even our aunts and uncles call her that. Because we are tightly bound by our maturity due to our same age we both have shared a lot of stuff with each other.
Dada is a great swimmer compared to the rest of us. She used to be in the swimming varsity of her school and her butterfly stroke which according to her she came to learn for months is to be admired.
This shot was taken at the guest room and these are our positions when movie-marathoning plus many more cousins who would join us. One night when we chose to watch The Exorcism of Emily Rose and since I already watched it I went to sleep earlier than them and when I woke up I couldn't move because it was really crowded. It was a funny sight. My cousin Tessa who eventually transferred to there house at dawn said she woke up with her upper torso on the bed and her legs on the floor and wondered why no one helped her to a comfortable position.
With my cousin Tessa who I still maintain looks a lot like Leona Lewis. Unsurprisingly she has joined pageants and have done modeling as well. At our first night in Bicol we were crooned by impressive carolers- one group were even wearing a uniform and a different dance number to each Christmas song they sang. Tessa said if there were carolers who would prove to be disappointing we would open the gates and release all our dogs.
This is my dimpled cousin Nicole who has a modulated speaking voice whom though I haven't heard her do it yet, must be good in singing as well. One time when we didn't feel like watching a movie with others she was reading the Bible whilst I played cards and Utoy was playing games on my cell. She recounted interesting experiences to me. I discovered that she knows how to play volleyball that's why I would really bring by volleyball the next time we visit and we'll sure have a lot of fun.
