...and the rest of what's left

glee points start here

i have not blogged lately that tonight i'll try to catch up...

i started this blog for myself so that when i go back to the philippines, i can remember with glee (or glum!) how it was for me living far from home.

here are some events to score points for glee:

the past two months have been spent hanging out almost every weekend with fellow filipinos here in brussels. they're a bunch of happy people who share the same zest that i have for life and living. cook rice and adobo, pour the red wine and throw in the guitar, and we're alive (alert, awake, enthusiastic!).

we even had the gall to sing in the easter sunday mass with me trying to conquer my stage fright!

before that easter (not-so disaster) choir, we visited seven churches (visita iglesia) to observe the holy week. the good catholic boys and girls in us were out all over brussels to pray the stations of the cross. despite our efforts to keep our mouths hush-hush throughout the day to follow our filipino tradition for the holy week, hell no, our laughter cracked as loud as ever! there goes our indulgences in heaven!

a french priest in one (empty) church was even glad to see us praying and smiling. he approached us and praising heavens (i guess!) in french! lucky a friend was there to translate for us. he said that it's always nice to see filipinos because we are always smiling despite the world. awww, how sweet...

for easter, we partied at the usual hang out place! nothing beats spending the day painting easter eggs and eating crumble cake, enjoying lunch of sinigang, broiled chicken with hot steaming rice and playing the guitar while singing our hearts out!

happy easter holidays!

this is marc's version of the truth, sometime at 8:57 PM if you can't live with it, he can.
