Ito na siguro ang pinaka-unreligious easter ko. I didn’t get to do the station of the cross. Hubby didn’t manage to attend the confessions, partly my fault coz I didn’t help in coordinating his schedule. Since coming over to London, I’ve never attended Ash Wednesday. And I don’t see the “washing of the feet” mock -Last Supper rendition of the church any more (they do it here, too).

Tinatanong ko sarili ko kung nagi-guilty ako. Hindi naman, pero meron ding maliit na boses kahit paano, siguro e catholic guilt ko. We ate meat on Friday, nakalimutan ko kasi. Pero sa totoo lang kahit nung nasa Pinas ako, di ko talaga masakyan yang part ng tradisyon ng Pinoy (lang?) na wag kakain ng laman, wag maliligo bago mag-alas-tres, wag magsasaya, etc.

Anyway, masama mang pakinggan pero ang primary goal ko talaga sa 4-day break namin dito was to enjoy myself & to relax. And I did, actually – my entire family did. We went to Hyde Park. My kid fed the ducks, he ran around, he laughed a lot. Hubby & I watched a couple of R-rated films. We had an impromptu barbie on Sunday. The weather was so nice. My son didn’t take his nap & we didn’t ask him to. He just rode his bike again & again. All three of us played footie & “clean-up games” in the garden. I made some turon using plantain & also used Connie‘s fish lumpia recipe for a late lunch/snack. Then to cap it all, we ate our dinner al fresco. My boy slept like a log & woke at 6am the following morning to ask for milk & slept again til 8am.

I kept receiving random hugs & kisses from my son and from my hubby, the entire long weekend. Now that’s a break…
