tribung ALARCON

you have no idea how clan-ish the alarcons can be.

my papa has 5 brothers and 1 sister, all are married, and between them have 23 children. imagine how big our get togethers can get. this doesn't include in-laws and grandchildren yet.

i remember my mama would always say "mga alarcon pa lang, party na".

heck, we even have our own alarcon yahoogroup and tribung ALARCON website. the men in our family ALL enjoy riding their big bikes, tinkering their cars or shooting guns...and they do it together.

imagine growing up with crazy uncles and aunt...

poor eric...when the family (and i mean the whole clan) first met him, my titos and cousins messed with him, he was teased and taunted to the bone. it was a test (if he can manage a lifetime of that), and he survived it. out of the 23 cousins, only 6 are married (for now) and i was the second female cousin to tie the knot. when i got married, the alarcon side of our family were kidding that eric should have been the one to change his surname to alarcon than me changing my surname to dominguez as he was more alarcon-ized that me dominguez-ed.

i miss my family back in manila. but home now is where eric is.
