Here I go. Boredom is with me right now. I detest tediousness.
Hay nako, let me just tell you what happened last
Thursday and Friday.
Thursday:
We started the procession at about 6 and rove around Marikina and it ended at
about 9. It was tiring. I can't say 'very tiring' because I know Friday will be
longer. I was wearing my chucks
and damn, I took it off. -- Here in my house. Not during the whole event.
Hahaha! It really tortured me LIKE
hell. The Thursday procession was longer than I least expected it to be. I was
used to a shorter procession every Thursday but NO, it was longer. There were a
lot of adventures while my cousin and I were walking especially to Kuya Igi.
Haha! Through the candle-paper-holder-burning
and through that "Igi-naapakan-mo-yung-lumilayab-na-apoy"
by Tita Trec, and to that very special man who called Kuya Igi and winked at him
(YOU changed his life.
NOW he's scared. Haha! Kidding Kuya Igi.) Nothing beats this very cute little
boy who went infront of us and looked at our 'caro', whatever you call that, and
said: "Ay, ito yung GRASSHOPPER." Ang kyooot
naman. Gabo and I laughed really hard and Ate Kats also told us she heard it,
too. Why laugh? -- Ok,
Ours wasn't the GRASSHOPPER,
it was the LAST SUPPER.
It was really unexpected and the fact that he even stopped infront of us.
Hahaha! Cool youngster. Enough about that, still walking, we saw different
stores that has extraordinary names. Like "SHOEcolate."
Kyoot. Hahaha! Immature kami. Haha! We took pictures of those names, I haven't
uploaded it yet. I mean, Ate Kats . I guess, that's about all the Thursday
experience.
Friday:
We arrived pretty early in the church because they told my mama (my
grandmother) that it will start at 5:30 but it started a little late than the
said time. When we arrived there, some of the 'caro' are still being fixed so it
sort of pissed my Mama. But it was Ok. We just went inside the church and saw
some of my Mama's long time friends. Soon after, it started. I saw some
familiar faces, let's say, faces I know that I'm not close to or I
don't even talk to, or faces my friends talk about or, waaah, whatever. Sam and
I was with Charm and we were like talking the whole time. Except when Sam
suddenly said her tummy aches. Hahaha! I won't discuss that further 'cause if
ever she see this, she'll be a mad woman.
Haha! Kidding. Again, we saw unusual names
like, Woo-tah (Water), I forgot the other one, it
was really funny, err, I'll use someone's name na lang,
it was like: Gabo Goto's. Hahaha! It
should've been: Gabo's Goto. Hahaha! Bigla namang humirit 'tong si ate Kats,
she said: "Baka pangalan niya talaga yung *blank* Goto. *TUG* tawa.. that took
me some time to think. Hahaha! Whatever. As I said, Fridays are longer. And yes,
it was. REALLY LONG. That instigated another sore feet. Haha! But it was OK,
I did it all for JESUS.
I DID IT ALL FOR JESUS.
-- I seldom talk to him. So, this is what I offered
him.
