First Filipina Gathering in Michigan

   It was the first Filipina gathering that me and my husband attended yesterday. We were both excited, Me about meeting Pinays who live here in Michigan and the chance to speak my native tongue again. Hehehe! And for Hubby, the excitement of being able to taste new and different pinoy recipes.


   We got there early, but I really wanted to because I was still going to fry the food I was bringing. I met the hostess, Rhea. She was so nice and very attentive to her guests. Then I met other Pinay friends for the first time. We were being goofy the whole time. We talked like we have known each other for decades. I'm glad I met wonderful people yesterday.


   I can't wait for the next gathering. Event like this reduces my homesickness.
