As expected we are so noisy like the old times hahaha! if you where here or if you are my neighborhood first thing comes to your mind that this family always fighting becuase of the loud and noisy voice come to our house, but im telling you this is just normal to us haha. Filipino family is the most family oriented as far as im concern since we are motivated to work hard for our family and keep our family united and full of love.
