so ok, the green apple has invaded blogger! yes, i have! haha!
this is my ver first entry.. obviously! haha!
so ok, natutukmol nanaman ako dahil na e-excite ako sa blogger ko. ang saya. ang ganda! haha!
anyway, today's date is october 31. halloween times for the US people but ordinary sem-break times for filipino colleges.
i'm here at our farm in banaue for that said vacation and of course, paggunita sa nalalabing ka eklavu ng aming mga ninuno sa side ng daddy ko aka, The Lim Ancestors.
chinese diba? haha! it's indeed chinese so we have this kind of ritual thing sa temples ng mga chinito. i have to bear with the smell from the incense again because my dad said, it is not advised to worship with good-smelling incense.
i really don't know the mechanics of this worship thing, but my dad said that i should bear with it since that's what we intended to do. a lot of his cousins and siblings were here and yes, magsisiksikan kami dun sa temple ng mga kanuno-nunoan (sp?) namin.
ok, so don't get me wrong though. i'm catholic. my mom and dad also are, but then, even catholics do this kind of praying thing just to show respect to their buddhist ancestors. my dad's an expert! haha! so ako, luluhod-luhod na lang din and stuff.
we look like these korean people rin who pray before their deads. well, they're also buddhists, aren't they? haha! bad thing, no pictures are allowed during worship. hehe. magiting na camwhore photographer sana ako dun.
ok so let's go out of the temple na. let's go to banaue this time! wooooo!!
alright, malayo ang bahay namin dun sa rice terraces thing where banaue became famous. good thing na rin dahil if ever, naku, my dad's businessminded-ness will strike again and i'm sure, he'll build a small inn where banaue spectators could stay for the night or so.
but i won't deny that i still love our place. it's so cold and you can see a vast land everywhere from our terrace to the kitchen's window. nagpakafeeling haciendera nga ako because of the wonderful sights.
i even went incognito by dressing up as a farmer while walking along our fields para naman hindi ako pag piyestahan ng mga tao. alam mo naman, artista ako eh. haha!
so i did visit the banaue rice terraces and the famous hanging bridge thing but i only got a glimpse since i.. i am scared to cross the bridge and to stay longer on top view of the rice terraces.
so far that went my day yesterday. hehe. mamayang hapon naman, didiretso ang buong pamilya sa temple ng ancestors namin to worship. hehe. oohh, i so love my family for bringing me here! after 17 years, first time kong nakapunta dito sa farm namin. haha!
hut-hut! ciao!
that little ifugao kid na anak ng isang farmer namin.
ako nga ba yan? haha! ang pangit ko!
