Not so Holy Week

I always find myself not holy during Holy Week here in Singapore. Oh well, I grew up with a notorious religious thus I was expected to

  1. abstain from eating pork, chicken and beef during Fridays of the whole Lenten season
  2. attend a series of processions starting from Holy Wednesday afternoon til Goof Friday
  3. join the Visita Iglesia on Holy Thursday night where we recite the stations of the cross
  4. mass on Friday afternoon
  5. then dawn procession on Sunday
  6. Easter Sunday mass

then have to --- Reflect... Reflect... Reflect...

Here in Singapore, I don't get to do that all. Yes, we do abstain but there were instances that we ate chicken hehehe. My family started to do #3 since last year but we usually go the churches every Good Friday before we head off for the Good Friday mass. After that, we just "relax" at home.

The thing is I didn't feel the mood to reflect. I guess not seeing the senakulo or no continuous religious shows didn't help. Or, maybe it's just me.

This Week Of My Life

The week started without my Tagalog tele-serye. Yes, I vowed to stop watching after Ysabella ended hehehe I vowed to stay away from the tv at night and just be with the "3" kids. Hahaha. So far, so good. I had a very interesting week at the office where my boss and I talked about my performance. I was quite disappointed with some of his "thoughts", I felt that it was very subjective especially when he had to name people who he thinks we should gang up with but I really really don't like. He said that I cannot choose my users. True. But, he's not a typical user, he's out to get our bloods (He always have to brag that he's rubbing shoulders with the head of all heads whenever we have meeting with him! As if that will scare me off! Hahaha!). Even though my blood was close to boiling point, I quickly signed off my appraisal form. Let's wait and see how "good" the result is in a few months. What got me spiffy are the little thing
