Blood is thicker

w/ my cousin Leah, cousin Francis w/ wife Kris

w/ Tita Minda & Tito Lino at Francis' place

after dinner at Izakaya Wasa went to Cheesecake Factory with my cousins

So after my brunch with Joey and family

my second cousin, Francis, and his wife, Kris, picked me up

He's a graphic artist and does photography

so we're on the same page when it comes to artistic rendezvous

Told him wanted to go to the Getty or MOCA or LACMA museums

but with time constraints and heavy traffic

they brought me instead to Mission San Juan Capistrano

LOVELY!

Too bad all photos are in his camera

since, uhmm, yeah, he does photography

Afterwhich, went to Spectrum to meet up with cousin Leah

We had such a good time laughing, teasing, chatting

They find me sooo funny!
Haha, I love it that they laugh at all my jokes and remarks

kinda like canned laughter, haha

Really sweet time with my relatives

then Francis' parents came over to his place

to see me

I enjoyed Francis & Kris' place

very artistic

wouldn't expect less from a graphic artist & his wife

Thanks for giving me my best restful sleep in the States

See you soon!

After the reception, I went with my titas/ tito to visit Lola Goding
She's my Mom's aunt and they're quite close
She's now 92 years old
I remember the last time I saw Lola Goding was when she came over to
my place about 6-7 years ago
Had fun times with her
Went with her to Sea World with my Dad when I was still single
Also went with her to Vegas at one time
I don't play but she does
She didn't even sleep!

Was good to say hello and hug her
Don't know if I'll see her again
But it sure was good to hug her and visit

Today was really such a good time bonding with my Mom's cousins
I truly enjoyed it
Relatives, though, not often seen
And not chosen
I truly respect and admire for the kind of persons they are
My Mom's pretty blessed with her family.
