Thanksgiving...


...was a week ago. Daniel knew i was alone, so he invited me over to join his family for a meal. The day before at work, he found out that i was alone...
that's how it all started!

The usual me, I told him I'll let him know the day of is I decide to turn up, depending on my mood. Life's been rather slow and down lately, so I've been moodless at work at times too, just put on a smile and start shooting photos, after that, i'll just pack that smile =/

THIS POST IS SUPPOSE TO BE A HAPPY ONE!

Anyway, the next day Dan called me in the morning, boy i was still in bed, told me the time, and his places is near my work place, told me to come, still, I told him I would let him know....Again he called and said there was a change of time, earlier, and there were two parties/dinner, asked me to join in. That is when I decided to just go to his place with a bottle of wine!

There I was, taking a slow drive to his place, met up with his family members and just started socializing!! A VERY rare sight of me haha actually.


Dinner time, as a guest, I was seated at the front of the table, honored yet embarrassed, then it was for each of us to GIVE THANKS!? Wow wow wow, I've never really done that before, nevertheless, i was nervous, as I had to go next, so on and so forth. The FOOD was GOOOOOD!!!

I felt warm, in the company of this lovely family, delicious food and great company!! Small, Simple and very Personal. Made new friends, with the same interests - Photography & Cycling, so half the time I was giving Dan's niece like a crash course in photography.

Daniel's mom said in spanish "I like him, he's good looking" in front of me and her grand-daughter...me looking blur and just smiling, her granddaughter had to translate, man oh man i was bright red! She was one of them who prepared most of the food that evening!! Ahem ahem, i'm being like by so many around me, why am I feeling lonely? People at work loves it when i'm at the Chapel, working or just chilling.

Had a rather long chat with Dan after everyone left, from business to personal matters, yet again, he was pushing the idea of me getting married in the US, even mentioned that It would be free to get married at the Chapel (where i work) and he would be doing the photos for free bla bla bla, the things is , i'm not desperate to that extend - yet. Then we also got to know each other more, exchanging ideas and he gave me advice on LOVE!

It was a wonderful gethering!
