semana santa

its maundy thursday, nothing to do but finish off a cigarette. i didnt have lunch, didnt feel like eating. just a couple of minutes ago, i swallowed down 4 crackers, a bread and im about to open 3 munchers...i love muncher so much. i dont know what i like about muncher. is it the peas or the flavor? dont really care, as long as i can eat at least 10 pcs a day, then there's no problem at all. i just love it! :) hehe.

hmpf, what to talk about? well, for one thing, im not extatic about "semana santa". though its the only time of the year to remember how Jesus Christ made the ultimate sacrifice ever and that is to let himself be nailed to the cross for the sake of Man-kind. how i pity him so much. but, looking at the bright side, if he didnt do it, we wouldnt be here in the first place. i think its the whole idea of it. to remember why we are here and we should pay tribute to that. i mean, people from all walks of life make different sacrifices for them too. its either to relieve that day when Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice or to do it as sacrifice for a specific someone.

ok, wait. i think i didnt say that one very well. what i meant was, people do the same kinda stuff that jesus did back then. being nailed to the cross, slash themselves at the back with whatever they want while walking several miles and everything. do you get my point? well, for me some do it, as ive said, to relieve that moment when Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice ever. some do it as a favor or something for a special someone who is sick or dying. more like something to do in return for the help that God might give them.

when i was a kid, i thought it was cool and all that, seeing people bleeding from the slashing and everything while walking the streets, hiding their faces in masks. some, sweating like pigs while carrying this very big cross that would mean carrying all Jesus' burdens for a couple of days and on saturday i think, they would have themselves nailed to the cross. but as i grew older, its not that cool at all. i mean, seeing the grusome stuff like bleeding as an end-result to their sacrifice, it makes me think that, what is the point in all of this? i have my own theories but i dont really exaclty get the whole point of the semana santa. i dont want to sound stupid or anything, its just that i dont get a single thing about it. i just sit on my chair, wait for something to happen or if not, do something to get out of boredom that this event brings me. call me anything you want, but that's how i celebrate "semana santa".

while others go to bora or to any beach or fancy resorts, i get stuck at home and be bored. that is something. hmpf. out of the ordinary. extreme! :(
