Sanahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVpHq-zoV58

Sana ang buhay ay walang dulo o hangganan Sana'y wala nang taong mahirap o mayaman

Sana'y iisa ang kulay Sana'y wala nang away

Refrain: Sana'y pag-ibig na lang ang isipin Ng bawa't isa sa mundo Sana'y pag-ibig na lang ang isipin Sana'y magkatotoo

Sana’y laging magbigayanSana’y laging magmahalan

Sana ang tao'y di nagugutom o nauuhaw Sana'y hindi na gumagabi o umaaraw

Sana'y walang tag-init Sana'y walang taglamig

Kaugaliang ng Paggalang

Pumunta kami sa bahay ng Lolo at Lola ko dahil sa anibersaryo ng kasal nila. Pagdating sa bahay nila, nagmano kami.

Kaugalian namin ang nagmamano sa nakakatanda. Pagkatapos, bumati kami ng “Maligayang bati!”  Dumating din ang kapatid ni Lolo. Basta may handaan, dumarating ang mga kamag-anak. Masaya ako kasi nakita ko ang kapatid ko, ang asawa niya at ang anak nila. Dalawang araw na sila rito. Tumulong na magluto ang bayaw at pamangkin ko. Nagdala pa sila ng mga balut galing sa Fresno.  Siksikan kami sa hapag-kainan.

Showing Respect

We went to my grandfather and grandmother’s home because it was their wedding anniversary. As soon as we arrived at their house, we asked for a blessing (by way of a Filipino gesture).

Mano is our traditional greeting to our elders. Afterwards, we congratulated them.  Grandfather’s brother also arrived.  Whenever there is a celebration, relatives come. I was happy to see my cousin with his friend. They have been here for two days. His mother helped cook the food. They even brought fat chickens to barbecue.  It was crowded at the dinner table
