how are you?

WELL I am good. It is 10:41 PM on a Friday, and i just had my shower.

IT is Good Friday by the way. And I am quite happy when I saw in the news that this popular beach location in the Philippines will honor it, and not allow people to "party" during this day. Seriously, I have been thinking about the Holy Week, last few days. And it dawned on me this sad realization that beach parties, and out of town trips go synonymous with the Holy Week. In our country at least. In our beloved country. The only predominantly Christian country in the south of Asia. And if I am not mistaken, the whole of Asia? I am guilty of this as well. When I was still in the Philippines, I never asked my friends "which church will you go this Holy Week?" It is always. Which beach? North of Cebu? or South of Cebu? When are we booking?

We might as well not call ourselves Christians.

I am reading this article in CNN now, where this Archaeologist stated that the "path of the crucifixion" in Jerusalem was done somewhere else. Not in another country anyway. Still just around the corner, but on a slightly different location.


There is so much to write about in the past days that went by. But I just did not have time to write. While I was searching the internet for my late Grandmother's name, I came across a digital copy of her case. It was dated 1954 or 58. Somewhere there. And the defendants in the case where of then Mayor of Cebu. I never knew of that story until now. I also made a couple of websites. Small ones, for google adsense, and ones for our new business. But I will not be posting them here, not in this article at least. TO avoid breaking the Terms of Service? or just sparing people who will come across my blog from useless self promotion. And advertising.
