colorful "undas"

okay. umm "colorful" isn't exactly the first word that comes to mind when describing all saints' day (or is it all souls' day?!). but that aptly describes my day today, hahaha :p

it's been a tradition of our family (the velasquez family, natch) to go to loyola cemetery in marikina every november 1st. we stay there from 10am to around lunchtime.. after which, we eat out together before going home.

this year is no exception. it would have been a really great day.. except for the weather. sheesh. i was hoping for some rain (but apparently, no one else welcomed the thought).. but the weather was *sooooooooooo* hot!! ugh. sapped my energy, totally. but i did get to snap some shots at the cemetery.

cousin domz had work (call center people have weird working hours. fortunately they have good financial compensation bwahahaha - LIBRE!!!) in the morning, so he just went to meet up with us at don henrico's sta lucia.

lunch was YUMMY!!!!! sheesh. the servings in that restaurant were *HUGE!!!* hahaha. all i had was a piece of buffalo chicken wing and a slice of pizza (and of course, 2.5 glasses of their totally refreshing iced green tea).. and i could no longer eat another bite. i'm definitely going back there, hahahaha.

oh. and i enjoyed myself a lot, too.. thanx to cousin trishia's nintendo ds (yay, mario! bwahaha).. and cousin domz' wacky company.

whod've thought all saints'/souls' day could be so fun?! :p
