22 days to go!

I fetched two of my bearers last Wednesday so they could try out their barongs at the ever trustworthy local neighborhood tailor.  As both were excited and upbeat (which is a nice way of putting it!), they bombarded me during the whole ride with questions like "Tito Ken, am I the ring bearer?", "Will I stand for one hour holding the bible?", "Is there another one? Who's Uno, Tito Kenneth?", "What? There's three of us?", "What does a coin bearer do?"

Man, there's probably nothing like two little cute juveniles ganging up on you.  Endearing and at the same time irritating.  Imagine if all three bearers were there, major major headache!  Sometimes you wish you had a remote control that can pause and fast forward time like in Click.

Yet you start to grin, remembering when you were a youngster performing the same shenanigans on your elders.  You then realize they didn't do it to annoy but merely to satisfy their curiosity.  Suddenly, your temper fades despite the scorching heat and you find yourself playing along with their eagerness just like the kid you "were".

Here's a pic of those two lovable pranksters.. whaddup Enzo and Kolai, proud of you gentlemen! :)
