HiTech Celebration

I was up until 1:30AM early today chatting online with my family in the Philippines. It was then at 6:30PM here (Eastern time), January 14, '10, while there is at 7:30AM (Philippine time), January 15,'10 when I started chatting with them through Yahoo Messenger. They actually expected me to online that day because they knew I want to be part of their Sinulog Festival celebration at home.  I was happy to see my relatives and of course my family again through Interwebcam they are likewise happy to see me even I am far far away from them. My uncles are so funny as in they are ignorant of computer they kept looking at the webcam near to their face and thought it's a toy by doing that I barely see their face. Haha! My other aunt thought I am outside the house and said hi back at me by looking outside the window. I was hysterical to the max! LOL My niece didn't told her I can see through the computer. She just made fun out of her. Hehe

Anyway, the Sinulog Festival is a big annual celebration in my hometown in the Philippines. It is for the Catholic religion belief of Santo Nino (Holy Child). This is the most exciting and joyful festivities that I am always looking forward since I was a kid. That is why I made sure to online last night at least to witness my family's celebration. My mom was so busy cooking food in the kitchen, she cooked food that made me drools they shown me the food through webcam-- no mercy! Hehe I love when they all entertained me, my niece and nephews sang and dance for me. My cousin who thought of himself like an idol star sang a song seriously just to empress me like I was gonna hire him to be a recording star. He don't have that great voice, he just has a guts. Haha! So funny. And of course they made my papa sing a song for me in fact I wasn't surprise when he sang and sing his favorite song dedicated to my mama. I heard it many times before. Haayyy .......everlasting love. Hehe. After that papa lie down on the coach (as if he has a treatment of hemorrhoids couldn't stay long to sit). My aunt on the other hand made kwento (share talk) on me about her children and especially her oldest daughter which is close to me that they made a wrong choice in life. At the end she made me laugh because she fashioned show the clothes I gave her. LOL Seven hours straight talking, laughing, and watching them having fun is wasn't enough for me but I have to go to sleep and let them go because their visitors started coming in. I was having fun even I am far away from them but I felt I'm home. It was so surreal. Thank God for the high technology.
