Welcome Back to An Uncle

Early morning, Lasing arrived from Ilocos Sur. We didn’t expect her to come because we don’t have any communications with her because she doesn’t have any phone on their area. If ever that there has a phone on their area, we may not be able to communicate clearly with her because she cannot hera us clearly.

But yesterday, we only expect one person to arrive and that was my Tito Dadong which will arrive from Saudi Arabia. Actually we thought that he would arrive last Sunday but that was just wrong news.

Tito Dadong was expected to arrive by the evening. We are not all ready for his early arrival because we expect him to arrive by night. He just call my Tita Irene that he will suddenly arrive by 2:00 p.m. my Tita Irene never expect his early arrival. She doesn’t prepare or have food for Tito Dadong’s lunch. So, she went to food stalls immediately to buy available lunch for Tito Dadong.

Tito Dadong was very excited when he arrived. He said “Hi!” to all the persons that he could see in the street. He’s even get excited to see his family and he’s even excited to see my Mama and me while I was lying down here on the set.

After that he greeted us, he already went to their house to have lunch and to relax due to long hours of trip from Saudi Arabia up to the Philippines.

Tito Dadong works in a construction firm or area in Saudi Arabia. He was working there for almost 10 years and he can only have a vacation every after 2 years of working in Saudi Arabia. When he have his free vacation, he can only stay here for about 2 months and he will go to Saudi Arabia again to work.

By night, our family members unite to have dinner together to celebrate Tito Dadong’s arrival. For dinner, we have KFC spicy chicken, crabs on coconut milk and grilled pork chop which was prepared by my cousin. He and my cousins had a drinking spree after we ate dinner. They either have a long chat together and more about Tito Dadong’s jobs on Saudi Arabia. But they only drink and chat very limited because my cousins have schools and work for tomorrow.

Welcome back home Tito Dadong! Have a nice stay from all of us here and hope that you will stay with us and your family happily.
