Good Friday Practice

all set and ready for the station of the cross

I told hubby that I'll fast my blogging today because it's good Friday (that means no blogging on Good Friday,hehe) and I can't do fasting when it comes to food because I still breastfeed my 17-month old baby but I'm breaking my promise to him.

My baby is now asleep so I take the time to blog or else I'll be blogging while breastfeeding tomorrow.haha.That's hard to do, huh!Anyways, I'm good when it comes to multitasking.hehe

We woke up this morning a little earlier than usual because it is our practice that during Good Friday, we'll go to the church and have our station of the cross. We planned to visit 7 churches and since there are 14 stations of the cross, we'll have to pray 2 stations every church. St. Joseph the Worker Parish was the first church we visited. The sun was very hot at around 11 o'clock in the morning so it was a real relief when we entered the air-conditioned St. Joseph church. When we finished the 2 stations, Mom suggested that we'll just finish all the 14 stations in St. Joseph because it's comfortable for our little girl Keona and when we visit the remaining 6 churches, we'll just have our individual prayer. Just when we finished the 14 stations, the reflection for the 7 last words also started. We then proceeded to Carmelite Church, Redemptorist Church, Assumption church, St. Jude Thaddeus Parish, Sta, Ana Shrine Parish and our last stop was Sacred heart church.

We were finished at around 1:30 in the afternoon and I was already very hungry. I just munch some biscuits that I brought with me and drink lots of water. Oh I love the fact that it was very easy and fast for us to go from one church to another because there's no traffic. It's a holiday and the only open establishment are the fast-food chains McDonald's and Chowking. We had our lunch at Chowking and all the food we ordered have no meat. I really don't like much the taste of the one hubby ordered for me - Chinese fish with tofu but finished it all because I was really hungry.

This is a rather late post. Mica's baptismal Christening was on Sunday, February 21, 2010. I had a crazy schedule this week so it's just now that I'm gonna post this. Our day started with a hearty breakfast last Sunday. After that, we right away took our bath and get ready to go to the church. We woke up late becasue it was Sunday. At around 10:30 in the morning, we headed to Sta. Ana church, in time for the 11:00 o'clock schedule for Mica's baptism. When we arrived at the church, we were surpised by the many people inside the church and the many babies to be baptized. So, this is not just a favorite church for people to wed but also for their children to be baptized, we thought. My little girl Keona is really becoming mature and more behave this time. She just behave while the ceremony is going on. There were times that she wanted to play and get the baloons of other babies but I told her to just play when the ceremony is over and she did it so I was very happy.

A simple celebration for our 2nd wedding anniversary

Me, few minutes before our wedding

Today is our wedding anniversary. We attended a Holy mass at Sta. Ana Shrine Parish where we held our wedding 2 years ago. We decided not to bring Keona with us because we know we can't concentrate if she's with us. We'll be occupied with walking, running and she'll be shouting inside the church which we have experienced before. After the mass, we went to Gaisano mall to have dinner. We decided to eat at Dimsum because there were only few people. We don't like to eat in crowded places, it will take forever for us to be served. I jokingly told hubby that our marriage is not yet tested with time but he refuted that even if it's only 2 years, we have hurdled a lot of "storms" in our lives together which I readily agree:)).

Our marriage is not a bed of roses but we always try to work it out together, to be always committed with each other.
