Feeling Unwelcome

Last Saturday my family was invited to a kid’s birthday party. The mother is a Filipino I met her on friendster, but not yet been introduced with each other personally. The party starts at 12pm to 3 pm. We got there just right on time. Not much people yet. The host was somewhere busy preparing for herself and the husband was right there I introduced my family to him first. We were standing up for at least 10 minutes and without any invitation we set on the couch for another 15 minutes that was awkward. There was couple Filipino but not even one introduced them. Until somebody I know came and I have somebody to talk to and especially when Jessiettes’ family arrives the more I was happy now finally I have a friend and Roger have someone to talked to. I felt bad about him. I never felt that way before especially on meeting new friends for the first time. Especially my kids they usually no problem on meeting new friends but them they stayed with us until Bernadette came.

At least until the host was out busy entertaining everybody she was nice very nice and her husband as well. But the other visitors they had we felt not welcome. You can tell the way they look at you like you who are. I know they already have this special click with each other and as the newbie to the group at least one of them should introduced themselves and make us feel welcome. I met a couple of them they are nice the rest I am not sure. I did have a conversation with others but more on an American mother who have 2 young kids. Can’t remember her name she was nice.

Overall the party was okay. The kids were having fun afterwards. They have a lot of games and did some crafts. It was a gorgeous day. Foods were great. A lot of Filipino foods, I love most the dinuguan and the turon, uhmmm yummy.
