This is my cousin Kuya Louie(R) and his wife Ate Chel. I seldom see my cousins and when I do, I always get surprised because they always change a lot, physically at least. Either that or we just haven't seen each other for the longest time.

In gatherings like these in the family, food is also awesome. It's not just unlimited, it's so freakin' delicious. You'll be having foodgasms like an 18yr old virgin.

I kid you not when I say that my Aunts cook the best dishes in the planet. Not because they're Kapampangan's (you know what they say!) but because they have this distinct flavor when they cook something. Something that I've grown to love and will always love!

I'm a lover of seafood, I think it runs in the family. Whenever we have gatherings my aunts or uncles never fail to surprise us with delectable seafood dishes. Some you won't even see in restaurants. I believe not only are Kapampangan's good in cooking, they're also very creative. Lelz.

In the latter part of the night, something stole the spotlight from the mouth-watering and glorious seafood sitting in our table. My Tito gave us a box of Johnnie Walker - Blue Label so we can stop bugging him for money that we can use in the casino. Hahaha! I drank a bit of it, yes it tasted nice but I'm trying to lower my alcohol intake -- I think I might have Gastritis because hangovers are spent at home, the whole day, trying to puke my guts out. It's not the usual hangover but anyhoo I'll tell you more about that on another entry. Let's get back to Johnnie here, he's a bit of an attention whore.

My cousin's who weren't in the drinking age yet, and being surrounded by their parents can't do anything but have their photos taken while holding the infamous bottle of that cruel alcohol. After all, a picture can tell a thousand stories (?), you won't know if they got drunk or not just because of a simple photo, yes? So long as they were holding the bottle, I think that'll do as a nice Primary photo on Facebook.

To cap everything off, it was a nice family get-together! Plus the boyfriend met most of the members of my super extended family! Oh, have I told you I recently met his relatives too? More about that on my next post!

Happy Monday!
