Ha! It's FAMILY DAY! It's not in my calendar. What's this spur of the moment? Dude and dudettes, EVERYDAY IS FAMILY DAY especially when all the members of the family are gathered for breakfast, lunch and dinner. then they pray. A family that prays together stays together.
However, there are families who are not into having breakfast, lunch or dinner by the table. There are members of the family who would rather be alone sitting on their favorite recliner watching TV and do not have to scream when somebody use their fork and spoon as if scratching their plates like crazy. Actually nobody scratches the plate it's just that somebody has bionic ears and not so loud noise is louder than normal. Maarte! There are members of the family who do not like members of the family talking while eating and all the comedy and the drama by the table is a big no. There are people like that. That normal situation is such a joyous happy situation in Philippines but not here in Canada.
It's no use celebrating "family day" as if it's their last supper. There are members of the family who do not like being photographed or being the star of the show by the table.
We eat, we dine by the table or have buffet on the island table or counter and that's it. They go to their room by their computer desk and eat there. Happy? They are more than happy! Every mother would like to have a happy family where everyone doesn't need to be asked to smile or just be natural for the camera but my family is not that fake family. Our family is just a family! It's not for the show. It's not for the movie.
Be as comfortable as you are that's it but maybe because I love photography for something to remember when I get sooooo old and have to remember my family, my husband, my children or whoever are the guests for that simple celebration or that special occasion.
Maybe my children are too shy unlike other kids who would rather be the center of attention. My children are not self-centered. They don't even want the limelight even if they are talented and with skills and certification about their skills.
Whatever! Happiness is not about taking pictures, showing food, and show and tell for the whole world to see. It's just that I have to defend my hobby of photography that's why if you see flowers, trees, food, and the beautiful beach and majestic mountains, maybe some knick-knacks to give my readers something to view then you'll see them here.
Maybe next time you'll see some animals. I will one day visit the zoo and post some zoo animals to make my blog that interesting.
If only they have Family Day on Valentine's Day instead. Hey, Know what it's already the 14th of February 2017 Eastern time. So Happy Valentine's Day people!
