TIS THE LENTEN SEASON HERE IN THE HPILIPPINES AND ALL I CAN SAY IS THE WEATHER IS MORE HUMID THE NORMAL AND ALLOT OF PEOPLE WOULD CHOOSE TO GO TRAVEL ABROAD OR HAVE A ROADTRIP HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES. THE GO-TO PLACES RIGHT NOW ARE THE BEACHES AND OFCOURSE THE SUMMER CAPITAL OF THE HPILIPPINES(BAGUIO), THAT PLACE IS REALLY AN ESCAPE FROM ALL THE HEAT THAT WE HAVE TO ENDURE THUS SAYING THAT THOSE PLACES ARE MOSTLY JAM-PACKED WITH TOURISTS AND LOCALS ALIKE. 

STILL THE ESSENCE OF THE DAYS OF LENT ARE NOT FORGOTTEN. VISITA IGLESIA OR CHURCH VISITATION IS A MUST ALSO WHILE YOU YOU'RE AT IT, SAY THE ROSARY AND DO THE  STATIONS OF THE CROSS. AFTER WE ALSO OBSERVE THE TRADITION OF NOT EATING ANY MEAT ON ALL FRIDAYS OF LENT. ONLY FISH, FRUITS, VEGGIES. 

THE TV SHOWS ARE ALMOST ALL ABOUT LENT EVEN MOVIES ON LOCAL CHANNELS. WHEN I WAS A KID I USED TO WATCH EVERY YEAR THE 10 COMMANDMENTS, LIFE OF SAINTS AND OFCOURSE THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST.

Some people are totally forgotten the meaning of good friday, some are turning on their karaokay, singing with uglier than ugly voices to the max while drinking alcoholic beverages and discussing their broken life. They turned good friday to birthday party geez~ it should be silent and pasting day.

It's true that many people have forgotten the meaning of Good Friday, or perhaps they never knew it. There was a story in the papers about a school where the headmistress had banned Easter events... and this was a school in England !!

On Good Friday my church and the other local churches did a Walk of Witness along the High Street and I wondered just what the people out shopping thought of this group of people following someone carrying a large wooden cross.

I AGREE W\ITH ALL OF YOU THIS TIME IS THE BEST TIME FOR FASTING AND AS WE SAY IN THE PHILIPPINES "NGILAY-NGILAY" A TIME FOR REFLECTING, CONTEMPLATING AND SEARCHING THE TRUE MEANING OF THE SOLEMNITY OF THE SACRIFICE OF THE LORD
