it was really hot and humid outside. but even if that was the climate set out, we saw a lot of people outside and fulfilling their catholic devotion. albeit, going to 14 churches in 1 whole day and praying in each is very exhausting, i'd have to say that this is one of the best days ever. I get to enjoy being with my family (nanay, tita, cuzins and pamangkins) and at the same time, practice my religion. it was all worth it.
i had fun seeing all those churches and the different types of altars that they have, not to mention the sculpture of saints or religious icons enclaved in them. you get to see the cultures set out in each place by looking at how their church is made. you also realize that despite the throngs of problems facing our country now, Filipinos are innately faithful to the higher being, they never lose hope and devotedly pray, for what, i really don't know
well, everything would have been much better if you were here sweetness, i tried not to think too much of you and be happy that you're enjoying your stay there in dubai but i guess, i can't help it. there were just some things that I encountered which immediately reminded me of you:
1. we passed by libis, I saw the warehouse & the lot there at the intersection, of course I'd remember you here...
2. my cuzins bought kutsinta which they decided to name after you, it's a long story, i'll tell you when you get back
3. i passed by a church which was selling puto bumbong at 5 in the afternoon, man, this was so rare but none the less, i remembered how you liked this and me liking bibingka instead
4. my nephews forced me to play a car racing game in PS2, i chose a car to use and what do you know, i had to choose a white mazda... talk about coincidence, right? Hell, no!of course, i had to choose this brand coz it reminded me badly of your car *sigh*
i guess, what i'm trying to say is that my holy week could've been much better, if you were here and we were doings religious things together....o well, there's always next year.hopefully, we get to do visita iglesias already, mwah!
