Monday, October 30, 2006Libingan ng mga BayaniYesterday, October 29, 2006 (Sunday), I went to Butterfly for lunch. I was the only pamangkin who went, but during dessert, Kuya Dondi came. Later on, Kuya Wap came for Sunday Club. Sayang wala si Ate Caren, but it's okay. She was having fun playing with kids. Anyway, it began with eye-opening conversations with Kuya Dondi, Kuya Wappy, Mama Vick and me. Boy, my eyes were opened alright. Too much for one day, I think. Then, we drove to Manila and passed by the Film Center. Then, we checked CCP for one of those shows about ghosts and stuff. We wanted this day to be Halloween-centered, but the show was late so we didn't get to watch. We ended up in the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Cemetery of Heroes). We walked around and saw the graves of people like Carlos P. Garcia, Blas Ople and the like. There were a lot of Justices buried that Kuya Dondi knew. Then, as you walk around, you'll see that the place is divided according to where a hero died. Some crosses don't even have names because people weren't able to make out the faces of the dead. Unfortunately, we have a relative buried somewhere around, Lolo Apeng, Lolo Maning's brother who died in World War II. Anyway, it was an interesting and different field trip. We had to leave cause I had to be home by 6 and it started to drizzle. Too bad none of us had a camera so we have no pictures. Our photographer was at work kasi. Oh well. - Bambie
