A bit of history: More than ten years ago, when Mamy Lola was still alive and living at San Crispin, we were all (Hernandez Family) used to go there almost every weekend to play Bingo and eat Sopas. Yes, those were the days and because Mamy Lola joined our Creator in 2005, then we got all busy and all, our Bingo Sessions stopped.
Going back to the post of Tita Baby - she asked Hernendez family if we want to play Bingo for old times sake (it was around March) and then everything followed.
Towards the end of April, the Hernandez Bingo Royale was formed! We all agreed to have the event at La Roca Resort - it is a public resort in Los Banos Laguna and we rented the other half of the cabana (I don't know how they call it). We have an aircon room that can accommodate 15-20 people, then we have a mini sala set and a closet (with hangers). Then below the room, we have the open area where there were tables and chairs that can accommodate almost 30 people, refrigirator and a water dispenser. Electric fans were also available.
Every time we gather like this (like our Christmas Party) we do pot lock and therefore each family is assigned to bring one dish and their own rice and utensils. It was a blast of food!! One of the most awaited was the Langka and the Tulingan! Here is what we all shared!
Let me share with you the food that we shared!
I think we ate for an hour, immediately fixed the table and started to play Bingo! The most awaited part of the gathering! It was so exciting because before -- its just us cousins playing bingo -- but now our nephews and neices are playing with us as well!
It's exciting to play Bingo especially if there are a lot of side comments and reactions when numbers are being called. Papa Gary is the one calling the numbers and one funny moment was when he called a number in Spanish then one of our nieces asked..
It took them 2 hours before they reached the peak of the Bingo Royale -- the famous "Black Out".
Our host (Tita Baby) was the one who called out for the " Black Out" and it was so intense!! Everyone was excited but at the end of game winners will prevail! It was lucky Mika and Joshua!!
Yey to a successful Hernandez Bingo Royale! Til next summer outing!
Xoxo
