The meet-up (Meeting our relatives after 40 years plus)


40+ years ago, the sister of my grandmother together with her family migrated to Ilocos Sur and started a new life there. My auntie Josephine used to send mails to one of her daughter (Auntie Auria) before we got disconnected. And through the help of social networking site (namely facebook) and also with a close family friend we were able to get them in touch. It was my Auntie Joy one of my Granny's daughter who took a step to get our number and search us on FB. Our keeping in touch started around the first week of May when my Auntie Joy was able to get my number and my mom's number. With the constant communication we decided to meet them in Manila and together we will be having a vacation in there place in Ilocos Sur. Here are some of pics that we have:

Though this meet-up was so short for us since our leaves are just limited still I enjoy meeting my relatives. They are so nice and very accommodating as if we were together for the longest period of time. Hope we could see each other again....
