Have a Blessed Good Friday

Living in the Philippines is quite unfortunate for the non-Catholics.  It's such a pain to go throuogh all the boredom and the "pakikisama" with all the Catholics in the observance of the Lenten season.  All malls tend to be closed, no movies, no fast food, not a lot of fun activities to go to, unless you make Visita Iglesia a little fun with your family or friends. 
True enough, I just find the observance of Lent a little more of "just a tradition" that we all can't run away from - afterall, our ancestors were colonized by Catholicism.  In actuality, and I guess, by heart, most of the people do not totally surrender to the observance, so most hardworking people take this more as an opportunity to take a break away from the city - and go to the beach or some other place.  If you take celebrities for example, some of them take the week off and go out of the country. 
Nevertheless, with the advent of technology and modernism, it appears that the tradition is here to stay.  People need to deal with it - Catholics or not.
In any case, i wish everyone the this Friday will be truly a good one, and I hope everyone will be blessed this Good Friday - and every day!

Kabaklaan sa Holy Week

Pasensya na pero buti na lang naka-cable kami, dahil kung hindi, naku - ang booooring ng mundo ko.
Sa tulad ko na di naman mahilig umalis ng bahay during Holy Week, at mas gusto pang magbabad sa bahay - lalo na sa daytime - ay naku - pasalamat talaga sa CableTV.
Ang Holy Week ang pinaka-hate ko na week dahil wala ka ibang mapapanood but mga drama drama sa TV, mga religious program at mga bible stories - na hindi ko talaga type.
Pasensya.
Kanya kanyang hilig.
Kanya kanyang trip.
Pakialam mo?!
At least sa calbe - mapapapnood ko pa rin ang American Idol at Project Runway at Asia's next Top Model Season 3.
Pak.
Baklang bakla lang.
bakit ba.
Kanya kanyang trip.

Pnoy's Lenten Message

Minsan, nakakainis ang dahilan na "Tao lang ako ..." lalo na pag ang nagsasabi ay may pinagaralan, at nakapagtapos sa isang magandang unibersidad.
Ewan ko lang, pero kayo na lang ang humusga...basta para sa aking, ang shupal ng fez niya, at nakakahiya naman sa kanya at sa kanya pa talaga galing ang panguudyok ng pagiging humble.
