During school vacations my parents allowed us to spend the summer at our Lolo's (grandfather) residence. Well, my grandfather wasn't the only one living there. My grandmother, their children who were my aunts and uncles and their children who were my cousins. There were many people in the house. This was in
Navotas about 15 minutes away from where we live in Manila.
I had lots of fun because I spend time playing with my cousins. We were sort of a big clan. My grandfather runs a motor repair shop close to the bay to repair fisherman's boat motors. His workers were my uncles and another kid that lives across the street. He was the only one who wasn't blood but he was treated like one.
We adventured to many spots in that place like biking around a big church. We play sword fights, martial arts, taking care of chickens and even working in the shop.
In memory of my cousin Bobby (Odulio) Aquino
