October 26-November 1 All Saint's Day

November 1...all saints day... I think everybody knows what we need to do during this day. Today, I'm gonna visit the graves of my grandfather and grandmother. This event is one of my favorite because our family get together and mingle with each other. I wake up in my bed pray to God that i will witness this important event. The flowers and candles are ready for the event. Going there is a hustle.... Of course, its a public cemetery so a lot of people will visit each of their graves. In the entrance of the cemetery, it's so crowded that you can barely move. But it was worth it because after entering the cemetery the stress will be relive when you bonded with your family and prayed for my grandparents who passed away a long time ago...We also offered some candles and flowers, it's just isn't complete without those things. We talked about so much together with my auntie and uncle about how our lives have been...It is a joyful event because we get together and just relax and chat...We also entertained ourselves together with my sister building a wax ball from the melted candle... It is so much fun because not only you can enjoy making it, you can also be creative, it will test your artistic skills...We also visited our other relative's graves and again offer fragrant flowers and scented candles... Every year, before returning to our homes, we would buy jumbo hotdogs and eat them for this happy event...It's such a nice event and I hope the time would just stop and make us enjoy this wonderful event...
