40th GUMIL Convention Pics

Finally, I was able to attend a GUMIL Convention (GUMIL means Gunglo Dagiti Mannurat nga Ilokano or Association of Ilokano Writers).

I’ve always wanted to attend a convention of the said organization, but it’s only now that I finally managed to. Though I was able to get a peek of the three-day 36th GUMIL Convention in 2004 when I accompanied Dad to the location, I did not register at the time because I couldn’t get a vacation from work. And now, after all these years, I finally did it. (That’s one of the pluses of being a freelance writer; I can always declare a vacation whenever I want to.) What’s more, even Mom joined Dad and me, and that made things even better.

I did not get a lot of photos though, because I was not feeling well at the time. I regret not having lots of pictures now, especially when I realized I had very little pictures of the event. Sayang really. But never mind. Let me just share the pictures that I have.
