Lenten Weekend {Hiking, Swimming, Bonding}

Hiked to a private resort owned by a friend to swim...

Then back to our place....swimming again.

Cousins unite. The girls had a great time. This rarely happen nowadays since April is now working in Manila and Frances is in her third year in college already.

 

A wonderful weekend with family. 

Lenten Weekend {The view from the highlands}

We had a relaxing lenten holidays with my family in our small fightingcock farm in the highlands.

Flowers from the backyard:

My niece April is here with us until tuesday....

The view of the lowlands. This was taken yesterday around 2:30pm...can you see the rain?

View from the right: Mt. Canlandog.

Another mountain from afar, that's Canla-on Volcano at the far end, can you see the crater?

Jet plane!

How's your weekend?

Lenten Tradition: {Good Friday} Silent Procession

To be honest, this is my second time to join the procession in my 33 years of existence. I am thankful to JITB who encouraged me to practice the tradition every year.

I regret bringing my Canon 1000D plus extra lens and Yongnuo Flash since I ended up using my Nikon S6200 point and shoot because I wanted to shoot discreetly while I went along with the procession.  

How about you, how's your Lent going?

Morning Walk: Day 12 {Good Friday}

my walking buddies will go back to the US by the end of the month :(

Purple Kamote

young joggers! go go go

Day 12. Good Friday.

Today is the commemoration of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Morning walk makes me very reflective. 

Still, the 'losing weight' factor remains at the back of everything. Amazing views, capturing photos, peaceful mind and heart comes first.

Good morning everyone!

Morning Walk: Day 11 {Maundy Thursday}

Maxie!!!

Photo of Puto. lol!

Day 11. Maundy Thursday.

We were supposed to be heading in the highlands, but we decided to be there tomorrow or probably on Saturday.

Meanwhile, morning walk continues. The rays of sunlight is getting along with my reflective mood today.

Good morning everyone!

Keep safe.

Morning Walk: Day 10

Day 10. 

Started the walk earlier than the usual 5:45AM, I was a bit worried that I might step into something undesirable. Lol!

Sun is up and shining. Cuaresma heat, as the old folks would say. Yesterday was really sticky and scorching hot even inside the mall. I hope today's weather is going to be a lot more milder coz I'll be in the supermarket later for some supplies we're bringing.

Blogging might take a lenten holiday as well. We will spend the rest of the lent in the highlands where internet signal is really a pain. Consider it my version of sacrifice: NO INTERNET...but, I will be in Twitter because fortunately there is a cellphone signal so I can still tweet :)

Have a safe and peaceful Holy Week!

 

Lenten Tradition: House Visit of Apostles

Amidst the modern and advanced world we have now, let us participate and support Lenten traditions like this. Let us open our doors and pray with them. Traditions are here only if we keep it upheld each time for the future generations to continue.

Some of us may spend the rest of our Holy Week away from home, having a vacation with our friends and families, but Catholics as we are, I know we still observe and commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is the time to imbibe peace and reflect on things in our lives.

Have a peaceful lent everyone!
