Family Reunion (Manila, Philippines)

Not much to say really. This song below basically sums up my time so far in the Philippines, of course, give and take. You know how it is I'm sure. Not only is it my family but there's Jeremy's side too. If I were to draw a family tree, it would take up pages and pages I'm guessing. It seems like everyone here's related to someone, somewhere.

Sometimes I don't feel like I'm travelling anymore. Its weird, because when you're abroad, you always wanna mix with the locals and get to know the true way of life there, the culture. That's exactly what I'm doing here, but its just not the same. I guess because I already know the culture, there's lots of things that surprise me here though. Don't wanna get into right now though. Anyway enjoy the song...

We at the family reunion, tellin' jokes and playin' spades

Uncle Dave is on the barbeque grill

Grandma braggin 'bout the blanket she made

For the new baby on her way

Even though the daddy ain't really ready

This child is coming...anyway, yeah

~

Neicey made her famous potatoe salad, somehow it turns out green

Maybe its all the scalyums, could be the celery

But oh, Uncle Jerome loves it (Hmm)

Hey baby baby, here comes my favorite...my favorite cousin

He says he doing fine, takin'it one step a day but in my heart I know it ain't that way

~

whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa

What can you say...its family

and whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa

What can you say...its family

Aunt Juicy been drinkin' again...ooh its only 1:30 in the afternoon

Everybody tip-toeing 'round her, we all know she gonna be toe up soon

Saying all the things we like to say, hope she gets around to

Cousin LonnieCause We all know he got a little extra somebody on the side

(But)

Oh shit, Damn Micky and Steven are fighten again

Move out the way, somebody might get hurt

Aw Look at that what happen is worst

They knocked over Helenora's Lemon Cake (Emm)

You know the one she barely ever makes

I'm gettin rilled up, I want them to go

But Somebody turn Frankly Beverly on the stereo

Cousin Ruby starts rockin', shaker her good hip and bottom

So we all fall into place, smiling and laughing
