i thought holy week in singapore sucks. when i was there, i missed spending holy week in pinas where its solemn and where my family just stayed at home, where pabasas are everywhere, people join alay lakad and where eversince i as child will wait for the arrival of the hampas dugo and pasan ng krus at the morning and the procession of life sized replica of saints at night.
in singapore, there's nothing like that. malls are still open though there are stations of the cross also. that was how i spent my 3 holy weeks there from 2005-2007.
now, im here in ireland. and if i thought that holy week sucks in singapore, i dont know what to think about holy week here. at least in sg, good friday is a holiday. well, im writing here at the office. though, easter monday is a holiday here. or maybe just maybe, they are celebrating the ressurection and not the death. who knows?!?!
*** its not about holy week sucks per se, its about how we celebrate it. i want a solemn holy week where i can comtemplate on my life, and the Passion of our Christ to redeem us for all our sins.
