Everyone was all dressed up for Tito Randy and Tita Thuy's (though her name is pronounced "twee") engagement party. There were eight guys (including Kuya Mark, Tito Egay, Tito Edwin, Lolo Romy, Tito Roland, and of course, Tito Randy) who gave Tita Thuy eight gifts. It's part of the Vietnamese tradition. I think it's a sign that the parents are in approval of Tito Randy's proposal. It was pretty cool. We got to meet her relatives and eat lots of vietnamese food!! FYI, there was lechon!! =) Woohoo!! =) Good Eating =) (Again, you can click the pictures to make it bigger.)
And, would you believe that after that engagement party we went to another celebration?! Yup!! I don't know the name of Lolo Romy's friend. Though I know that there celebrating the death anniversary of their grandmother. According to my mom, it's a Filipino tradition which is called "Babang Luksa".
And, Ate Dada heard from Kuya JB (Kuya Mark's brother) that Wendy's Hamburger was giving out free frosties to win the customers back after the "human finger scandal". Wow...could that day can get any better..=)
They were also offering free face painting for kids and adults....Tito Edwin could'nt just let that pass by....
The day did not end there. We still had dinner in Tita Desi and Tito Egay's house. We had "sinigang na salmon" and baked asparagus with melted cheese (care of Tita Desi and Tito Edwin). Of course, the showdown of the videoke king/queen was on!! =)
It was a fun day!! =) I am truly going to miss the people that I'd been with during my summer vacation.
