Blog EntryHoly Week, Easter Bunny, The CROSSApr 7, '07 8:54 PM
for everyone
I remember when I was a child I had zero concept of what Easter was.  All I knew was there was this Easter Bunny I used to take pictures with at the malls and I used to look for eggs around the house that my sister would boil and color herself.  This is also one of the 2 or 3 times I would go to church a year with my mother.  Every year I would go to Mass with my mom, I would get so jealous of the kids.  After Mass there was an Easter Party where all the kids would get together and look for eggs.  I NEVER GOT TO DO THAT!!! Who is still a little bitter..............I do vaguely remember when I was a child here in the Philippines seeing the Boogie Men in Pampanga( that I used to be terrified of).  Once I started growing a little older I knew it had to do with something about Jesus.  But still had no idea.  Once I got here to the Philippines I just knew it was a time to Party.  Boracay is the best place to be during Holy Week, so what I thought.  This Holy Week was a little different for me.  Samantha and I just stayed home, rented movies, had some close friends over and had a lot of time to reflect on God's goodness, pray.  Let us not forget what really happened on Easter and during this Holy Week. If you have time watch the clip that I have about that says, Hillsongs  The Cross....

Sounds like Easter when I was a kid...minus the boogie men and the Philippines. Magaling ng blog mo, pare. :)

just thought of my mommy. every year, i would wake up to either an easter egg hunt for real eggs or chocolate eggs. and a stuffed bunny once or twice! growing up as an only child, and with her being a widow, i look back at that time and appreciate these memories. she was an awesome woman. she died in 1997 and i must confess i still have occasional moments that i miss her so bad it hurts.
