one thing i want and liked and loved with our culture here in the Philippines is that we handle reunions, family and school and even friend reunion. in this busy world, we need to be connected and get in touch with other people's lives. that in such a way, we will still be part for them. and so, it is such a fun to be doing and handling reunions here. seeing old faces and reminiscing the past. it is so much fun. but as for me right now, i haven't seen my older brother for two years now. and even in the text, i hardly communicate with him. he is my first friend when i start this life. hope he is fine. and hope we could have reunion..

My family has a reunion every year. It's always on labor day weekend, and we have a lot of fun when we all get together. We have games, food, pictures and so much more..its normally a three day event. Everyone comes in on Friday and stays until about monday morning and we all do something throughout the weekend.

We do have reunions during Holidays...and also during summer. Our relatives will just arrive and spend Holidays with us. The bad thing is that my sister is so busy with her career that we haven't seen her for a couple of years already. Still, we have constant communication through phone calls, and emails.

that is a good thing to hear!! it is really nice to have family reunions. and the same is good to you. but i liked your aunt when she is the one who do the spending..hmm, right now, the world is at crisis. and there are really a lot of bancrupcy everywhere. in turn, we are forced to do simple living. it is not easy though.. but good for you and your family when you have your reunions..

really?.. that was good. and it is really a good to do so.. since this time, we are living on the last age. and who knows what would happen next?.. and it is good to reminisce the past times. remembering those times when you have the best times with your family and classmates..

we do have reunions, whether it be a family reunion, long time friends, high school batchmates, colleagues...there is a special day in the year were we will plan a reunion...might be an out of the town trip or just a night out in the local bar/disco.
since almost everyone is very busy with their respective careers/life...having a reunion would be the perfect get away for a relaxation and to enjoy each others company!

Every December each year, we do have family gatherings. And since it is the only month of the year where in I can meet my cousns who are living far from us, I make it to the point that I never have dull moments with them because I know that it will again takes eleven months before we can see each other again.
