Holy Week in America
Holy Week 2006:
Thursday 12:30 - picked up Sabrina from school. Because it's Holy Thursday, it's a "short" day today.
Friday - no school for Bree, which means no work for me (i took the day off, but it's really a normal working day here in the States). Had my nails done at 10am. Then we went to Northridge mall (to window shop for a new fridge). Then went to St. Roberts in Burbank for their 3pm Stations of the Cross. And after, we just stayed home. Watched a DVD - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Oh, and played one round of Monopoly (i lost).
Fasting and Abstinence that day, so i had goldilocks mamon in the morning, one slice of cheese pizza at lunch, then clam chowder for dinner.
Saturday - we had an early lunch at Chuck E. Cheese (around 10:30). We had a coupon for "buy $10 worth of tokens, and get another $10 for free" so we decided to use it. She had a blast, of course. She won 453 tickets, and redeemed it for: a frisbee, a slinky, a whoopie cushion and a toy airplane model-type. We were home by 1pm (after running a couple of errands).
In the Philippines, Holy Week would mean total silence and meditation, no laughing, no TV, no piano-playing (at least when we were kids).
p.s. Lord, i'm sorry for not keeping your week Holy-er than it should be.
