HALLOWEEN IN BELGIUM

WE HAD OUR FIRST 1-WEEK VACATION DURING THE LAST WEEK OF OCTOBER UNTIL ALL SAINTS DAY. I DIDN'T DO MUCH TRAVELLING COZ, HAAAY, SIR CELSO GAVE ME WORK TO DO AND I ALSO HAD TO PREPARE FOR MY FIRST EXAMS TO COME ON THE FIRST WEEK OF CLASSES. BUT TITA MYRNA WOULDN'T HAVE THAT. SHE ASKED ME TO SPEND HALLOWEEN WITH THEM (THIS TIME WE HAD IT IN TITA GINA'S PLACE IN BELGIUM), COZ NORMALLY THE FILIPINOS IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM HAVE PARTIES FOR PRACTICALLY ALL EVENTS, OR SOMETIMES JUST WALA LANG BASTA PARTY TAYO. THEY REALLY ENJOY COOKING AND HOSTING PARTIES, AND I'M NOT AT ALL COMPLAINING! I ALWAYS HAVE A GREAT TIME COZ I GET TO EAT PINOY FOOD! AND I MEET MY "COUSINS" HERE (COZ ALL THEIR CHILDREN ARE REALLY CUTE AND REALLY NICE AND I'M SORTA THEIR KUYA HERE) AND WE PLAY AND THEY TEACH ME FRENCH. IT'S EASIER TO TALK TO FRENCH KIDS COZ THEY TALK SLOWLY AND CLEARLY. IT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT MATTER FOR BELGIAN-RAISED PINOY KIDS COZ THEY SPEAK FLEMISH HEHE SO WE DO SIGN LANGUAGE! SERIOUSLY! TIS REALLY FUNNY... THERE ARE ALSO TWIN BABY BROTHERS WHO ARE JUST SOOOOOO ADORABLE. ONE LOOKS LIKE A PINOY AND THE OTHER IS DUTCH. REALLY FUNNY, BUT COOL. I SPENT MOST OF THE EVENING BABY SITTING THE BUNCH (NOT JUST THE TWINS, BUT ALSO MY OTHER "COUSINS"), BUT IT WAS A REALLY COOL EVENING. AND I GOT TO TAKE HOME MORE PINOY FOOD, PINOY INGREDIENTS (LIKE MAGGI BEEF CUBES, SINIGANG SA SAMPALOK: HEHE LIKE I CAN FIND KANGKONG HERE), AND BEST OF ALL AN OVEN! I'M REALLY AMAZED BY THE WAY PINOYS IN OTHER COUNTRIES TREAT OTHER PINOYS, IT'S LIKE WE'RE AN INSTANT FAMILY AGAD. THEY REALLY TAKE CARE OF ME HEHE NOT JUST WITH FOOD AND STUFF, BUT ALSO WHERE TO GO AND WHAT TO DO, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT IT'S ALREADY OFFICIALLY WINTER. WITH MY OVEN, I CAN NOW COOK BAKED FISH, STEAKS, AND I CAN EVEN BAKE CAKES! IF I ONLY KNOW HOW... HEHEHE

AFTER THE HALLOWEEN DINNER, THE "OLDER BUNCH" (HEHE IM STILL A KID TO THEM) DID KARAOKE COZ THEY HAD A MAGIC MIKE WITH PINOY SONGS IN THEM (SOLD IN PARIS FOR 450 EUROS = PHP 31500 THE FUCK!)

THESE ARE THE SOOOO CUTE PINOY-BELGIAN TWINS BRUCE AND ALECK

NICOLAS, THE YOUNGEST SON OF TITA JULIET. HEHE LIKES TO PLAY HIDE AND SEEK WITH ME... MORE LIKE HIDE-UNDER-THE-DINING-TABLE AND SEEK COZ THAT'S WHERE HE ALWAYS HIDES
