Lepanto National High School Graduation 2012 (part 4)

When we are having breakfast and since we are already teasing each other. They all agreed that we go swimming.

 So we asked our cousin's Jeepney so we could use it going to Cervantes Ilocos Sur. Our nearest swimming destination. It is approximately 2 hours. Waahhh!!! its been so long since I revisited this place.

 So everyone is actually excited. In fact after we announced that we go swimming the kids are gone in 1 minute. When asked, they all went home to grab their readily prepared swim wears....

 So, off we go to Cervantes. The teenagers including myself went at the top or roof of the jeepney (we call it TOP LOAD) meaning we sit on top of the Jeepney and we will just hold on the railings for support so we wont fall down when we the car start going ZigZag!

 I am thrilled and happy and excited. Just like when we were kids. We are all waiting for special occasions like this so we could all go swimming in the rivers or sometimes in some resorts.

 When we reached the said resort I didn't believe myself. It was really developed. The water is free flowing and so it is relaxing. Water is a little bit warm maybe because it has come from a warmer source or the weather is just warm. hahaha

 After we parked... All the kids already went off the pool and started swimming. It was so nice seeing this kids so happy.

 While the children are so happily swimming. We went picture taking.

 Everyone has their own poses and everyone are photogenic in their own rightful way.

And so this end's my visit in Lepanto for 2012! I hope I could make it again on 2013! lol

Lepanto National High School Graduation 2012 (part 3)

After the graduation ceremony, everyone goes home to eat with the family and to entertain their own visitors. However it is also our culture to go around houses of the graduates to partake some of their food that they prepared. I would say it is a culture that has been passed down to many generations. I think this has started during my grandparents time. hahaha

 Its fun to see my kin as well as it is fun to see these kids grow up. It is also wonderful to see everyone laughing together, teasing, and telling stories. Catching up is really momentous.

 We have an extended family. Everyone, lives in the neighborhood and so its easier to call everyone during this time of the year.

 Since graduation for us is almost an all night activity. We again gathered the following morning to have our breakfast. This usually happens.

 So the other family members who didn't make it through the night could still catch up and so the fun continues.
