Good Evening!
Well, I just left the par-tay downstairs - which was starting to wind down anyway - since I finally started feeling quite sleepy. It was a very nice gathering. About 75 people showed up, and my father's sister has arranged all of it: food (a buffet of Filipino favorites), the music (a one-man band, and two singers), and even a program for the evening (dance, talk, dance, sing, dance, eat, dance, play games, dance, talk, dance...).
I met a lot of people, and I at least tried to get and remember the names of the people directly related to my father. There were about 25 children in attendance, and I think I can only remember two of their names right now. I also believe the Mayor of the town stopped by - at least that's what I think they said.
