I didn’t want to at first, because I was so tired, but I figured we would be able to go home before it gets dark, so I joined her. We rode the MRT to Taft and since I have no clue whatsoever where to ride to get to Baclaran, we almost got lost. We got there just before the bride’s families arrived. I got to see some of my elder male cousins from my father’s side again, as well as some of the younger girls too. And like what I mentioned before, we didn’t really talk to each other. Except for my two younger cousins who sat across me, and we just end up making small talk. [...] […] Sunday, my mom asked me to accompany her to my cousin’s wedding at Baclaran.

Now in some way, that is the highlight of my weekend. Because of my NaNoWriMo 2006 novel, I’m sorta kinda thinking a lot about cousinhood, and how we would get along and how I could get closer to my cousins, ever since it hit me again how we all don’t seem to be cousins at all. In fairness today, I listened and talked to my cousins after eating, and although we didn’t share “moments”…it was good enough for now. I’m patient. Although I really wish we’d get to share some more stories or something. [...] […] Finally, today, I spent the day watching Joan of Arcadia and Daria, and then went to my cousin’s house to eat for our grand aunt’s birthday.
