While over in the Seattle area visiting my mom, sis, nephews, in-laws & friends (old and new).... i found out from my aunt that my dad's side of the family was having a family reunion. Of course i wanted to go, and i did. i was only slightly awkward.... but i was prepared for anything knowing the past that i have had with my father. it has been a bit strained and distant since i was 10, but it went rather well and better than i expected.
A lot of the family i had either never met, barely remembered or hadn't seen in years, so it was nice to see where i come from and what has evolved in my 33 yrs of life on that side of my family.
Now what you would never guess just by looking at me is that i have Phillipino family members on my dads side of the family. My great grandmother was married 2 x and had Euro heratige kids with the first marrige and Phillipino heritage kids with the 2nd marrige. great grandma was also adopted as a child, so we do not know what her heritage is.
Here is some pics of my family-
