Hello, Hivers! It's me again, @sheiladoliente23. I hope you're doing well. It's my first hive post and it's a pleasure to share my experience of reuniting, chatting, and eating our favorite local foods with my friends. I hope you are well and have already hung out or reunited with your friends today!

It’s been a year since I last reunited with my friends because of our busy schedules. But now, we’re together again, sharing experiences, having simple conversations, and laughing. Reconnecting with them feels like no time has passed, reminding me how important it is to make time for the people we care about. These moments of joy and togetherness show how strong our bond is and how much happiness our friendships bring to our lives.
Of course, when there's a reunion, there’s always food. This is everyone’s favorite part. We went to our friend’s rest house to gather and share a meal with my friends. First, we prepared the dishes we were going to cook, which included fish, pork, and squid that we planned to grill.
The food is ready, and it looks amazing! We have grilled fish, squid, and pork, along with "kinilaw na isda" (Fish ceviche). Kinilaw is a popular Filipino dish made with raw fish that's marinated in vinegar and mixed with a variety of spices, onions, and sometimes vegetables like cucumber or chili. We also had a "budol fight", which is a fun Filipino tradition where food is served on a big banana leaf, and everyone eats together using their hands. It's a common way to eat in the Philippines, especially in the provinces. The meal was incredibly tasty, and it was even more enjoyable because we got to share it with friends. We laughed, talked, and made great memories while eating together such a wonderful experience!
Of course, one of our favorite dishes with friends is "Bisaya na tinolang manok". It’s a Filipino native chicken soup made with chicken, ginger, and vegetables like papaya or chayote. The soup tastes so good—sweet and refreshing and it’s really comforting to eat. It’s the perfect dish to share with friends, bringing everyone together!
Have you been able to reunite with your friends? What’s the story behind it?
Reunions are always the happiest time spent with friends and it's really fun when preparing your own foods and the conversation started with laughter's and reminiscing moments occur. I love the place you stay it's relaxing and the foods are all delicious.

It's more fun to have a reunion with friends and going to other places just to have a reunion. I missed my high school friends and I love to have a reunion with them again,.
Yes, that sounds like a great idea! Reunions with old friends are always special. It would be amazing to catch up and relive those high school memories! 😊
Reunion with friends isn't just connecting but it's also a celebration of how far you've become individually. Great bonding and delicious food 😊
Yes,reunion with friends is all about celebrating growth and making new memories together. Plus, great food always makes it better! 😊
True! plus the boodle fight 😊 eating with your hands 😀 it makes more fun! Happy Hearts Day ❤️
Seeing your reunion post made me miss my friends! It looked so fun! We used to do the same, even without fancy food. We still played childhood games like "tsinelas patid" and "bato lata" even as adults. I really miss those days!
That sounds like so much fun! Oh, I miss playing "tsinelas patid" and "bato lata" because they were so fun. It's the simple moments like these that make reunions special. I'm sure those childhood games brought back so many great memories! 😊
That’s exactly how we are when we get together! We make the most of our time, even if it brings out our childish side. What matters most are the memories we create—those moments that make you smile or laugh just by thinking about them.
The best way to eat together after reconnecting is this style THE BODDLE FIGHT..Hope you enjoy your reunion.
Yes, The boodle fight is a fun way to eat together! It’s all about great food and bonding. Thanks, I’m sure it’ll be an amazing reunion! 😊🍽️
When i see your post i remember my elementary and high school friends were very happy during that time, yesterday was a memory of all the people who had been with us. I like Reunion it is a great day for us especially when our friends or relatives live far in our place.
Reunions really bring back so many wonderful memories! It’s always great to reconnect with friends and family, especially those who live far away. I’m glad it brought back happy moments for you! 😊
Wow, that's a typical Filipino foods to eat during reunions 😍. The venue is perfect for that get together 🤩, "probinsya vibe" is what we really need to relax and just laugh hehe. I wish my friends and I will reunite again soon. Your post made me missed them even more 😂
I’m glad my post brought back those memories! 😊 The "probinsya vibe" is perfect for relaxing and having fun. I hope you and your friends can reunite soon too nothing beats good food and laughter with old friends! 😄
I remember having a boodle fight with my friends and co-workers. We do it every weekend and whenever somebody is celebrating their birthday.
I hope you have fun. Enjoy and have a blast!
Yes, boodle fights are always a great way to bond and celebrate. Thanks for the wishes. I’m sure it’ll be a blast! 😄🎉
You had a really great time with your friends. Yummy food and I love budol fight! Super delicious.
Yes, I had an amazing time with my friends! The food was delicious, and boodle fight always makes everything more fun. 😊🍽️
I'm sure you had a wonderful time with your beloved friends. The food, the laughter, and reminiscing the past made the moment more memorable. I love all the dishes that you mentioned. Wish I could do that soon with my friends too.
Thank you! It was truly a memorable time with my friends. The food and laughter made it even more special. I hope you get to have a reunion with your friends soon too, it’s always worth it!
I truly hope for that too. Our schedules don't match and as we get older, we tend to have more priorities. It is even harder to have a reunion with close high school friends due to distance and location.
Friends bonding reunion with more foods in the table is more special than anything . It boost our life being complete because we are surrounded by a good and loving people around us. I am so happy to see you all having fun and enjoy eating the delicious foods you’ve brought for the genuine people you have.
Yes, I agree bonding with friends over good food makes everything special. It’s amazing to be surrounded by loving and genuine people. Thank you for your kind words—it means a lot! 😊💖
Your always welcome @sheiladoliente23. Hope more experiences and bondings with your friend soon😊☺️.
It's always the best to spend quality time with our family. I like the vibe and the energy I'm getting from your photos! 🥰 Cherish every time you spend with your loved ones and more family reunions to come! ❤️
I hope your reunion is filled with wonderful moments, great conversations, and, of course, amazing food! May this gathering strengthen your bond and create unforgettable memories. Enjoy every bite and every moment—cherish the love and connection that make reunions so special!
Thank you for your kind words! @almajoy18 I hope the reunion brings everyone closer and creates lots of laughter and great memories. You're right, it's the special moments, good conversations, and delicious food that make family gatherings so memorable. I'll cherish every moment and the love we share. 😊
What a heartwarming reunion! It’s beautiful to see friendships stand the test of time. Your photos and stories radiate so much joy keep creating those priceless memories!
Thank you for the kind words! It’s amazing to see friendships last and grow. So grateful to capture and share these moments, here’s to many more memories!
Lovely photos! Family day is indeed a fun day. Since we're always busy with our careers and life's responsibilities, we should spend quality time bonding with our family on the weekends. I miss this kind of family gathering; we haven't had a family reunion in the past few years, and I hope we will have one this year.
Looking at the food photos, makes me hungry, especially the Kinilaw and Tinolang Manok. Those are my favorites. Bisayang Tinolang Manok? I haven’t tried that one, but I’m pretty sure it’s as delicious as the traditional preparation of Tinola.
Welcome to the hive, the family bonding is the most important thing the memories is never be forgotten, this is the Philipino culture that really I always looking forward when I got home, a simple get together but a quality bond is the best of all the price in the world.
