Family, Binignit, Good Friday and Manicure...
I was about to post a fashion-related stuff, but it was an epic fail. Anyways, even though we are not Catholics, we respect the tradition and beliefs of the Lenten Season. We spent Good Friday together (for those who don't know, we (Me, my hubby and xiao jih) are living with my parents, 3 sisters, one brother and 4 dogs, a few died last year and this year) , had some chit chat and binignit. Later we will be watching movies. Well, this is how we usually spend our weekends except the binignit.

It is quite disturbing that Holy Week nowadays, is not the same when we were still young, where even staying at home and watching movies will make you feel it's Lenten. A time for repentance and honoring the death of Jesus. But nowadays, people take the long holidays as an opportunity to have a break, go on vacation or staycation (stay at home vacation) as they say. TV stations do not show the usual religious programs or movies, but show love stories and several movies which are not at all related to Lenten. I remember back then, we used to watch Superbook/Flying House. But now, there are no christian or religious cartoons shown. I feel bad for the future generation, will they ever know the real meaning of Lenten Season?

I have never been fond of manicuring because of several reasons. First, I have short nails (maybe, the manicurist is the one who isn't fond of manicuring my nails). Second, I can't live with long nails, I scratch often. And lastly, I was employed in the Number 1 Fast Food Chain for 5 years. And now, since I am unemployed I wanted to have my nails painted as a sign that I am FREE. Haha! (The next thing I'll do is color my hair violet or blue or red. What do you think?) But the quest to having my nails painted isn't easy... It was a gruesome 1 hour and it didn't even last an hour after the application. Thanks anyway to my manicurist, my very own sister Chin. See for yourself.
