I went home to my hometown last December 22, 2007 to spend the holidays with my family. I was there for around two weeks, my longest vacation ever. It was a very enjoyable and memorable experience for me. My parents were very glad that I was able to come home and be with them because they really missed my presence. I haven’t gone home for two years. That’s quite a long time, isn’t it? My siblings were very happy as well, especially my youngest sister. She is very fond of me and look up to me as a role model. To add more spice to the holidays, relatives from other places came to our house to celebrate Christmas and New Year with us. There were a lot of dancing and singing, fireworks displays that make the starry skies brighter and more colorful and there were firecrackers that fill the streets with so much noise. Christmas and New Year is never complete without delicious food served on the table. We had roast pig, spaghetti, fruit salad, homemade ham by my Mom, seafood, suman, kinilaw, sotanghon, dinuguan and other dishes.
During other days, I managed to meet up with my old friends and bonded with them. I even saw my old flings and it felt good to see them. Of course, past is past. It’s just refreshing to know that despite the not-so-good times we had, we still remained friends. I haven’t seen these folks for a long time and seeing them again made my stay more worthwhile.
With all the things that transpired during my stay in my hometown, I could say that it was one great vacation I will never forget.
