  • Just came from a funeral.  My cousin's grandfather on the other side of the family passed away.  He was ninety-two years old.  The eulogy was very nice, as it was done by one of his thirty-two granddaughters.  She had a very heartfelt eulogy, and there were two statements that stuck out to me.  One was that Lakay Ambrocio liked to play cards, even in his advanced age.  I can attest to that.  He didn't play solitaire either.  He gambled.  He played a game called 41, which I have no idea to play, but I think I should learn it now.  The other statement that stuck out was that there was a language barrier between them.  That bothers me quite a bit.  It's another sign of how it would be beneficial to have classes in different Philippine dialects. 


    Next on the list is the FAYLC counselor debriefing, PYC screening of "Lumpia", Sinag-Tala practice, and Charlene's birthday party.
