Same time, last year


Last year, we celebrated All Souls Day at Rolling Hills Cemetary. I took Maverick with me because I don't have a yaya. My relatives adviced me to dress Mavi in red.  I really don't know what's the explanation for it, but I took their advice anyway. I had a great time that afternoon.  The food was great as well.  My Mom and I bought some "finger foods" for everyone from Quan.  While my Tito Lito prepared Valenciana... twas the best!

Haaaay, this picture makes me miss everyone and everything. The food, the places and of course, the people.

I have two reasons why I post this.  First, because here in Belgrade, they don't have this kind of holiday. Well, as far as we know.  And that makes me appreciate the Philippine calendar year, lots and lots of holidays and non-working holidays.

Second, two days after this, Maverick's eczema worsened. He had mild rashes already, on some portion of his body.  But after this, he had an outbreak.  I remembered it all so well, how can I not forget? I watch him like a hawk.  I was thinking at first that he was allergic to the pollen, but I was told that eczema was genetic, and that I can't blame anyone for it but my gene hahaha.  So anway, the rest was history. The only time that his rashes disappeared was when he reached his 6th months of life.  But it didn't just go-away entirely.  From time to time, he still gets the rash, but this time, its manageable.  Poor boy.

Hope that everyone offered a special prayer for their loved ones who passed away.
