Holy Week 2007

Being a non-catholic person, I'm (even my family 'coz we're half-catholic/half-methodist) not used to attend church services/activities during holy week (thursday-saturday). When I was younger (no cable channels yet), we had no choice but to watch Bible-related shows on tv and on Good Friday, the 3-hour Siete Palabras (Seven Last Words). Come Saturday, still no regular tv programming, so I either sleep or play outside with my friend. Normal life resumes on Easter Sunday where Easter Egg Hunt is all over the place.

But this year's Holy Week is far far different from my childhood experience. This time, with sky cable and dvd player, boredom is just a thing of the past.

Thursday. We watched Night at the Museum starring Ben Stiller and Robin Williams. It was entertaining and educational. Turistas came next just before dinner. Hmmm.... wasn't that good enough. I'll try to catch the Salma Hayek version of it. And just before bedtime, we watched 300. But, very late that night, we rushed my nanay to the nearest 24-hr clinic due to difficulty in breathing. We thought she would have a heart attack or hypertension... thank God, it was just a heart burn.

Friday. Watched the latest version of Casino Royale. I wasn't impressed at all. Got bored and sleepy.

Saturday. Nanay and I went to SM North Edsa and watched Ang Cute ng Ina Mo. By the way, my nanay is a certified Kapamilya and a fanatic of Ai-Ai and Kris Aquino hehehehe....

Sunday. Happy Easter!!! After attending a mass, I prepared myself for tomorrow's "journey".

Monday. By the way, Monday is no longer a holy day, but since it's Araw ng Kagitingan, no work today :). Even before the holy week started, I promised myself that I would go to Quiapo Church on this day to pray. Not the typical prayer that I do everyday, but I wanted to talk to Him in a sacred place. I chose this day because I knew all churches would be very busy with people from Holy Thurday to Easter Sunday. I chose this day because I knew, not so many people would be here at this time. I talked to Him like how a daughter talks to her father. I thanked Him, I asked for forgiveness and for more blessings not just for me but for my loved ones, as well. I couldn't help but cry, though there were several people going in and out of the church, I didn't mind. And now that everything has been said, I went out of the church, relieved. I can now do the things that I wanted to do, I can now start fulfilling my dreams that momentarily stopped for personal reasons and I can now live my life free from worries of what tomorrow would bring because I know He is always there to back me up.

Afterwards, I went to Megamall to unwind, to relax and pamper myself the best way I could.

What a feeling!!!!

By the way, some of you might get confused of my religious preference. I am a Methodist, as well as my father and my brother. But, for the past years, I've been attending catholic services with my nanay who is a Catholic. So if you would ask me, which religion I prefer, hmmmm.... mahaba-habang inuman to... hehehehe...
