The Lenten week started on Palm
Sunday. It was already a tradition for us to attend the mass on this day.
Reviewing the years, I realized that we haven’t attended the same church for
this event for four consecutive years already. We visited Baclaran
Redemptorist Church, Divine Mercy National Shrine of Marilao, Imaculate
Concepcion of Sta. Maria and Our Lady of Fatima Church (Heritage Homes,
Marilao) in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. I guess I have to think
another church for next year’s Palm Sunday.

On the next three days (Monday to
Wednesday), we still go to work since it was not yet a holiday though
some already started their long-week vacation.
On Maundy Thursday, we still need to work on
one batch of MTO since it is needed on April 10. I started fixing Jaby
(red motorcycle) but didn’t finished it. There is a spare part that needs to be
replaced but I cannot find a store to buy it. I also prepared homemade taho and baked lengua de gato which the later Matt claimed to be one of his favorites after having few bites.

On Good Friday, as our
tradition, everyone must be at home and doing nothing. We planned to have visit
Sta. Maria Bulacan and witness the procession of different saints. Due to very
hot weather, I decided not to go, baka
mag-collapse ako sa sobrang init.
On Black Saturday, instead of
heading to a resort, Matt enjoyed playing in his pool while we fixed stuff in the
kitchen and garage to get rid of the unused things and put them in the garbage.
Luckily, there is a bakal-bote roaming
where we sold those supposed to be garbage.

On Easter Sunday, we attended
the mass and have some grocery afterwards. I want to let Matt attend and experience Easter Egg
Hunting activities but we are far from the places with the said events.

I also made Mango-Graham Ice
Cream but didn’t make to our afternoon snack. Malambot pa kasi.
Before I forgot, I started making amigurumi samples. This will be included in the list of made-to-order souvenirs in our Mom and Dad Crochet Shop.

With the almost 5-day vacation,
I realized that it is better stay at home and have a recharge to face the
stressful, I assume, condition at work. LOL.
Recipes of taho, lengua de gato and mango-graham ice cream will be posted at Our Family Blogs About soon.
How about you, how did you spend
your vacation?
