Duman sa Kampo Santo (On Cemetery)

Araw ng mga Patay (All Saint’s Day) is usually celebrated from November 1-2 here in Philippines.

Since I don’t have any dead loved ones here in town, I decided to walked around the cemetery. There were few things I noticed while I was roaming around. Of course, lots of people went there to visit their family members and friends who passed away. It is the way of strengtening their family bond, sort of reunion while reminiscing happy and sad memories. Their visit also happened to see familiar faces such as good ole friends, greeting with ‘hi’ and ‘hello’ and filling in the gaps for not seeing each other in ages.

Not so sad at all at least for others to celebrate All Saint’s Day, right? Yes,in fact, peryahan (sort of carnaval) is there. Kids and Adults played to entertain themselves…Sana nanggana su tinaya ni tiyo sa pula (I hope the man won his bet on red).

“Fly away skyline pigeon fly, towards the dreams you’ve left so very far behind.”  I was surprised videoke machine is there. That’s a terrific idea for putting up the stall because the visitors would definitely have their stay remarkable. Most Filipinos love to sing.

I have spotted no killjoy on the cemetery but the drizzling rain. I hope it would stop sooner so that the rest of this night would be more enjoyable for those people.
