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.

Nyamy Nyamy

Our Bebe A is at the stage of being cheeky and endearing.  She can speak so many words now, some clear, some not.  Hehehe.  She likes to sing as well.  She actually has a good tone.  One of the songs that she likes is the one from Wiggles --- Fruit Salad.  Her version though is : Mom : Fruit Salad Bebe A :  Nyamy Nyamy (Yummy Yummy)

Being an "ATE"

She calms her down with her soothing voice.  She distracts her with things that will entice her.  Although she would rather use her computer or Iphone.  Ate T is a big help in babysitting.  I feel so happy seeing her bond with Bebi A.  It's because I shortchanged her and I am sorry for that.  I thought she wouldn't be interested in playing with her. But, out of all us, I think she's the most patient with Bebi A.  Wish she could be like that with Ate A hehehe but at least, they bond over tv shows, music and games.  LOL. Thank you, Ate T!
