I don’t visit this site all that often but having looked at my recent feed, i can’t pass up the chance to say something about what was sent me.I guess you guys already know how fortunate you are to have each other, so I won’t go there. Festive gathering with friends and relations.How wonderful is that! Makes me wonder where you guys find the time to do fun things like these. This day and age most people find it hard to set up a date for a get together over a cup of coffee. With different schedules and preoccupation with the daily grinds of life, everyone has a convenient excuse not to do what you’re doing. Oftentimes,we have this mistaken idea that we have all the time in the world to be doing it some other day, but in the end, the things that count are just put to the side and forgotten. A sad thought.Anyhow, there’s not a sad face in these pictures I’m looking at. Jok’s birthday.That’s the reverend father, is it? I can’t really tell which one he is in the pictures. Oh well. And who would be that good looking girl? The one with a long hair and with a pair of glasses on? Ha ha ha. Hmmm..I better quit while I’m ahead. Happy birthday Jok. Later y’all.

Hi Bugawak! welcome .. we are really curious who is the person behind the name: bugawak? where it come from? Taga BUGAw ug uWAK? hehe .. just my imagination. I’m the priest.. I bet you are right .. it is hard now a days to find reason to come together .. I really thank this family we have ..we love to celebrate! we always have excuses to come together .. to eat together .. to joke at one another: our mother is sometimes the butt of all the anecdotes .. to argue most of the times .. and lately, to play mahjhong .. while the young ones are emptying bottles of beer … I think it is a legacy we inherited from our Papa, he always wanted everyone to be in Moalboal every fiesta .. sometimes we don’t like, sometimes we do .. but now that we are getting older, we always see to it that we come together … hope you can join this family’s get together one day (if you are in cebu), you’ve got to wear ear-stops though as every one’s voice is a thousand decibel at times in order to be heard .. haha… confusions at its best.

Father Jok how are you? When I was at a tender age of seven, we lived in Cebu City around the district of “Private” (I hope I got this one right, this was many years ago).We weren’t too far away from Aznar school. Anyway,this apartment my parents rented had always an issue with the water supply. We could never get enough of it. There was always a problem about the daily rationing and not a day went by without us arguing who’s using how much. One day, my aunt just blurted out” Everyone pack your things!! We’re moving in to the Malakanyang. The water there “ga bugawak”.Had I known what malakanyang was, i wouldn’t have taken her seriously.But I was just a child.I had my clothes packed and ready to go, one paper bag full of them.From that day forward, I was the brunt of all jokes.But think for a moment, bugawak has a nice ring to it.Unique almost.Now,how’s that for a childhood story? Ha ha ha.

fr. jokjok is the one with white and blue stripe shirt, texting on the first picture. by the way, who is this bugawak? the good looking girl with the long hair and with a pair of glasses is my daughter, xyzha.

Mommy kumusta.Thank you for the response.I’m almost running out of praises for your family so let me say this one last thing.It must be hard work to keep the boys in line and the daughter stay disciplined. One big family like that. But, you’re the tie that binds them. Everything falls apart without you. Exotic sounding name your daughter has and the good looks to go with it. She’s got that from somebody.She’s her mother’s daughter, that’s for sure. Now I’m out of praises. Mom,I probably won’t get another chance to do this again since this is created mainly for the family and relatives.Thanks for letting me participate.KEEP SHINING.

Welcome bugawak…correct me if I’m wrong but you sound like you are sad wherever you are now hehehe
the people you saw in the picture is just 1 third of the whole family…”get together” is a tradition in our family…like others, we also work and work and work…but everytime there’s a chance to be together..we grab it. Not everyone can be present, but at least those who can are always there to share the food, the laughter and sometimes the pain hehehehe
By the way bugawak…are you a redoble? or a descendant of a redoble? we will appreciate if you could introduce yourself to us..this is not a social networking site where hiding from a nickname or a handle is tolerated…this web site’s objective is to connect with the redobles all over the world…and by not letting us know who you are may result to us banning you in this forum.

unsyaman gud ni nga ga mommy mommy na man…giluod ko!!!!

hoy, angel, basin, relative ra na si bugawak. mommy baya ko sa tanan. …
bugawak, please identify yourself.

Mommy, thanks for sticking up for me. Even if I know your first name I’ll keep calling you mommy just so I could torment Angel some more. Ha ha ha I read Jok’s last post and to answer his inquiry, we moved to Canada in ‘76. My mom got separated from my father and she had a hard time raising us children after that.The separation was less than amicable.We knew hard times then and with my mother having kids with no spouse around, that situation is frowned upon by most people.At least in the Phillipines.Two years down the road, she married a white guy from Canada, my stepfather The rest of the story I’d rather keep to myself, if that’s okay.Maybe someday I’ll get to visit the old country and meet some of my folks.My mom barely keeps in contact with them.I’m sure she has her reasons.If it’s alright with you, I’ll keep posting whenever appropriate.Just say stop if I step out of line. Alrighty.

bwahaha … nangigi lang ni si angi .. hahaha .. mura ka man ug si benjamin sr, dong angi!

susmaryosep ni si bugawak…perteng taasa ang mga pasumbingay pero wa pa jud intawon mopaila kung usany iyang ngan ug apelyido…puro lang gihapon pacute…
as you were told before bugawak..if you will not identify yourself (meaning your true name and your family name)..you will be banned from this site. Im not sure if you understood when we said “identify yourself”..

Kung relative sya magpaila sya…kung di sya relative magpaila sya…simple ra kaayo..daghan na kaayo ug gistorya wa pa gihapon nagpaila…ambot kung di ba na makasabot
Quote
anyway, bugawak I sympathize with you .. many sons and daughters wished to have a beautiful, united and a happy family, but then circumstances were not just kind to them .. whatever your situation is, move on .. now, if you can just introduce yourself to the family, if you feel at ease with it, then it will be very fine with us .. you know, something about you, of which angel is very determined to know hehe. The avatar of tessie is “mommy” so calling her that I think is okay .. until the next pose.

good for you Angel

Hello manang Maila..dont worry about the exchange of words here…we are only trying to ask bugawak to introduce himself…it seems however that bugawak is ignoring that request…for whatever reason
Quote
LOL. MO lol lang ko… bwahahahahha
Quote
and oh thank you bugawak for the compliment.

You’re very welcome Xyzha. Your older brother Angel got worked up over nothing there.I can’t blame him though.He’s the kind of guy you want to be on your side when things are less than certain.You have a twin sister,Xyzha? I don’t know how that fact escaped me the first time I looked at them pictures.Man,I need a pair of prescription glasses, I tell ya.Two apples of Tessie’s eye.I like that Say hi to everyone for me.

Bwahaha .. mura ug duna na sad ni mag violent reaction sa post ni bugawak .. Anyway, dude, Angel is the uncle of Xyxha and Xyxha has no twin sister .. maybe you’ve mistaken with a cousin … well, the redoble’s just seem to have one look .. dali ra mailhan. I hope you will introduce yourself na on your next post .. don’t worry: this is a family who can welcome everybody and just anybody, and them as our “own” ..
