holy week has ended... finally. It's not because I'm not religious, but it's kinda odd this year, I'm at work while everyone's in a vacation (not particular if they spend it just at home or they went to a supa vacation like goin to beach... bora..) but the main point is, atleast, they had a vacation. that's it!.. unlike I, who just spend all of the week at my work station.. doing nothing but my job... and the most painful part is that, Manila seems to be a ghost town.. yup,everyone's gone... they're at every part of the country... and envy them.. I wanna go home.. but I cannot..
I used to go on break every holy week, though I just stay at home.... I grew up with a religious family and so going everywhere during holy week is nothing but a sin.. yes it is..it is strictly prohibited.. When we we're young, T.V.'s not even allowed for the whole week, the only "extra-curricular" activities I had is to play with my friends. I do miss visiting my Lolo's place and watch those who were "nagpi-pinetensya" that eases up our boredom.. unfortunately now, after work, u have to go home straight. There's even a limited means of transpo, Mrt and Lrt are not operating, some malls are also closed not to mention some fast food and resto's.
But happily, I didn't failed to do my responsibilities as christian, and wholeheartedly did reflections during the semana santa since. It is a time, indeed, to repent and to reflect.... I went to the church to do a "station of the cross" prayer, do some fasting (but accidentally ate a pork because I mistook it as fish fillet....) and lastly, I received a rosary from my "baby" because they went to Manaoag on Easter Sunday. Anyway, I hope the past Holy Week has atleast change us even in a small way...
