Maundy Thursday
Our family spent a big chunk of the day resting. I and Johann's yaya particularly needed the rest after taking turns looking after two toddlers.* The whole battalion left for Visita Iglesia just as the afternoon heat was fading. Unfortunately, we didn't get to finish all seven churches because most of them had services scheduled in the early evening. Parking spaces were hard to find. We just decide to go back home, have dinner and resume when the kids were about to sleep. Because there weren't too many cars on the road, we finished in less than two hours.
Good Friday
Vic and I woke up early to talk to a priest this morning. We left really early so the lines won't be too long. We were so early that we were literally first in line.
I am glad we decided to go today. I was amazed at the priest. He seemed to have read my mind. He verbalized what has been bothering me and he told me what I needed to hear.
Black Saturday
I've been itching to go to the mall all week. I haven't done so because I don't like being rushed by my kids. I need to take my time as I get items for Baby Glur. So tomorrow, I will shop while the kids and yayas play at Kidz Republic.
Easter Sunday
I was planning to take the kids Easter Egg Hunting. But, I realized, I'd have to celebrate my birthday with my extended family. I just ordered food from CCME. It will be delivered in my parents' house. I also plan to get Dulcelin for dessert. I'd just bring over disposable wares and drinks for lunch. I wonder what else I am forgetting.
I am thinking of having my own egg hunt but with only three kids, I wonder how fun that would be =D
--------------------
*Javi's yaya is back after a week of vacation from her hometown of Romblon. I was glad to have her run after him again. I was afraid that if I let her go for two weeks, I will give birth to Baby Glur (as baptized by Kuya Johann) prematurely.
--------------------
I realize that this year's Holy Week may not have been as sacrifice-filled as the previous years'. But, I am glad that my personal reflection, mortification and conversation with God has brought me closer to Him. In my opinion, that's what the Holy Week is for.
