now a days, it's hard to obtain bonding time with family. i mean, everyone is busy. or perhaps, the generation gap is a factor, too. we all have different interest and we are all different in a lot of ways. rarely do we find that we have something in common.

today, i was watching with my siblings at out family room and papa stold my little sis noreene that he'll buy her new quaters collection. and my sister told my dad, "no, i'm collecting it. " she started telling my dad about her coin collection and i was just sitting there watching them talk about her collection. and then my dad went to the master's bedroom and he, too, was collecting the quarters. i think he has 12 out of the 13 states that came out already and my sis has 9 of them. so they were talking and comparing coins, and then my baby brother comes out of his room with his own set of his quarter collection.

just picture my father, my sis noreene, and my brother on our family room with all their new state quarter collections laid on the coffee table and they are bugging each other to trade each other's coins. it was overwhelming. it was like the old generation reaching out to the younger generation. and then my mom comes out and we noticed that kobe bryant was on MTV so my mother watched MTV with us.

it's funny how they tell me i am so much like my father. and then in soem weird ways also, i inherited some traits from my mom. now, looking at my siblings bond with my papa, it shows me how they are so alike in ways i can't explain. it's just they found something in common and it created an even tighter bond to our ties as a family.

these are the times i miss when i am away from them. so right now, i am just savoring the moment.
