HIIIIIIIIIIIII HI HI HI HI HI! I'm sorry I've been MIA in my blog for two days. I was supposed to make-up for the 21st yesterday but I got distracted (and okay, lazy). Let me tell you the story on why I've taken up an unplanned two-day hiatus! No, I haven't been to the beach or out of town. Don't worry, I have my reasons.
Last Thursday (April 21, day 21 for the challenge), as we Catholics know, it was Maundy Thursday (Fact: According to my family, I was born on Maundy Thursday!). It's actually one of my favorite days of the year 'cause when I was growing up we always participated in Visita Iglesia with our family friends (we visit seven churches) and we always started somewhere in the city 'til we got to Tagaytay! That used to happen every time we do Visita Iglesia. Now though, we STILL haven't stopped doing Visita Iglesia, but we've stopped going to far away places. This year we started near the airport first since we brought my mom there (she's in Turkey now with two women boxers and a coach for a tournament) then we ended in Quezon City. Thanks to my sister and to Tweetitow, here's a list of the churches we visited:
Thanks, Ka!
When we got home around dinner time, I was so tired that I was REALLY close to completely forgetting about the challenge. I really wanted to write but I was so tired and lazy and knowing that my laptop was discharged got me down. So I promised myself that I'd do the challenge the next day but oops, I also have my reasons for yesterday!
Yesterday (Friday, April 22, day 22 of the challenge), was day 1 without my mom and only my mom. We're used to not having my dad around or both of them, but not really my mom. My dad, my sister and I went to the cemetery to visit my grandparents (dad's parents) 'cause it was my Anma (lola)'s birthday last March. We stayed there for awhile then prayed then we headed off to my lolo's (mom's dad) house where my cousins live and picked up Baby Gab! Gab is my oldest cousin's baby who's only nine months old. We love to pick him up and let him sleepover once in awhile 'cause he's such a cutie pie. Again, thanks to my sister and to Twitter pictures, here's a photo from last night:
After crying and crying and crying!
So that's why I was distracted - 'cause my sister needed help for taking care of the baby and we were trying really hard to calm him down. He's a growing kid and he's starting to familiarize people and I guess he was shocked to be in a different environment with different people last night. Today though, we left early to go to my dad's office which is the Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines gym in Manila. Gab came with us and he had lots of fun watching the boxers train. He was laughing and laughing!
Excuse the drool.

After training, we hung-out and had Jollibee delivered for breakfast then headed home. So that is now the reason why I am explaining all of this to you now! I hope you guys forgive me for not blogging on the 21st and 22nd!
