Last night Before burial

Tonight, we plan to go to the lamay we know. but, it did not happened due to the heavy rain which until now is still raining outside. Actually today is his last night and tomorrow he will be buried.

Here in the philippines the dead have a different stay in their house before they are buried, there are 2weeks, 3weeks or sometimes even a month before they are buried. because there is no payment for the coffin and other expenses so the deceased is still gambling to be able to accumulate more money for the family's daily expenses, Because they could not work. they had to guard the dead in the coffin and they were also always awake at night.

Often all the acquaintances of the deceased go, or you will see many people in the house of the deceased is the last night of the dead. Because there are many gamblers there and a lot of money is spent by others especially the rich and those who love gambling, sometimes until the morning when others gamble.

Here you can also see all the families of the deceased, because almost all of them are complete, like a reunion. And it was as if they were all united without a fight taking place, they were all thinking of the good the deceased had done to them and how they had been helped.

What i love to do sa last night?

Play cards with my acquaintances like pairs, and truth order and sometimes tong-its.

• In pairs (pares-pares) you just have to pair the cards and whoever runs out of cards first wins, then has consequences depending on what you have agreement.

• the TRUTH -OR DARE is more fun when you play a lot because, you will be given one by one of cards. the number on the cards starting from 1 to king and whoever is 1 is the loser.

  You will Choose TRUTH OR DARE, If DARE when ordering all the commands of the participants in the game, you have to follow it haha ​​whatever that is. And when it comes to TRUTH, you still need to answer all their personal questions in your life.

• TONG-ITS Is a gamble, I played it sometimes with a bet or no bet, depending on who I was with in the game haha. Sometimes we bet candy. We buy a lot of candy just to bet lol.

I do TONG-ITS sometimes to lose my sleep when I'm awake. Because I'm fast asleep in lamay. And I also don't want to get caught up in gambling because it runs in our blood, even though I can get the games in card games quickly , I still avoid it. because it's hard when you're obsessed with gambling, you'll run out of money.

Before, when I was young Im confused if i will sad or not to go to the deceased because I saw a lot of people there, there were also my cousins ​​and almost all of our family. I thought, it's okay to have a dead body so we went to our relative house, Im so innocent that timelol. even though I'm sad for our lost family, I can't feel it, maybe because I'm young and I didn't really understand what was happening then.

I'm not ashamed to say this, but there is a snack at the house of the dead here in the philippines lol. I want snack is the chessecurles, candy, biscuits, cafe with milk and soup. Or there is another dish that is given to the family of the deceased lol. When I was young, this was really what I wanted the most and my goal lol. Tae hahaha walang hiya 🤣!!! I don't know if that's your purpose or just me only haha ​​

Sometimes there is more food in the evening because, in the morning there is something ready again for the bereaved, the bereaved will return to the house of the deceased to eat and go home.

I even saw a post on facebook that "many and delicious foods (viand) for the dead than my birthday" and im stock between haha ​​or sad react because of this post LOL. When you read it too, what is your reaction huh? Tell meeee.🤣

Ofcourse after i eat sopas in lamay, i help also washing dishes and cooking. especially by giving cofee to all those who are awake. Only to my acquaintances and to my relatives, I help. but in others I do not either. Hehe

Closing Thoughts

Vigil to the dead body in coffin and to have foods after burial is a Filipino custom, it is a sign that many people feel their presence to the family of the deceased so, that they are not too sad about the loss of their family. and it is also one of the encouragement to the family that many support them and do not despair of losing their loved ones.

THANKYOU TO THOSE UNDERSTAND WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY HERE. LOL!
