Whenever one of my balikbayan relatives came back home, we’ll be there at the airport to welcome them, pick them up and go straight to where they’ll stay. A lot of chattering and exchange compliments or even tease the other of what has physically changed since then. When I was a child though, I remember eagerly anticipating what’s inside the balikbayan boxes as they were being open by box cutters. I would usually get US Branded clothes and they smell different in a nice way.
Over the years, I wasn’t able to join what we call the welcoming band. However, last thursday night, Tita Baby and Tito Jim arrived from seattle and it has been three years since I last say Tito Jim. Both were our GodParents during our wedding. Good thing I was staying with my mom when I heard the news and got to meet them that night. It’s nice to have you back Tito and Tita. Hope we’ll be seeing each other again before you leave Pinas.
