Black Saturday for Catholic Holy Week

Woke up at around 8:49 am today when my mother went up to the bed to look for the lighter. I use the light to fire an mosquito repellent incense we call katol because the teens playing Christ's apostles arrived to pray with us. We pray for a short while and have them a quick snack of ice cream and some cookies.

Nothing much of the day I played The Sims 4 with different households and watch movies. Lunch was rice and pancit bam-i which taste delicious, soft drinks, buchi food ball and ice cream for dessert. 

I browse Recon.com again after a long time and also send some response to my accounts in eBay and AirBnB. 

We prepare some rosaries and other religious items such as crucifix, Virgin Mary etc. to be blessed later with Holy Water.

At around 11 pm, the church acolyte assigned in our street arrived to bless our religious items like the holy rosary beads, crucifix, Virgin Mary etc. 

Good Friday for the Catholic Holy Week

I went to bed early morning of Good Friday but before that I downloaded ghost hunting apps to see how it works and if it detects some ghosts. It did detect some ghosts mostly from Middle Ages pre-colonial period ranges from 1376 to 1653 which so old and I don't know if I can believe it because I live in a small town where it was only founded in 1754 and before that this town is sparsely populated with many thick foliage, grass overgrowth, wooded grassland and forested mountainous area. After a short while, my mother awakens up by her pee and she could hardly sleep she just took some coffee and folded a lot of stacks up clothes and my sister is preparing boiled water for her bath to go to work to a call center in SM Strata Iloilo. 

Few hours after I slept, I was awakened by some people who went inside the house talking I think it was around 6 am but I don't mind so I went back to sleep only to be disturbed again by some motorbikes roaming around and after that my father's coughing and talking also disturbed me for awhile until I fall asleep again. I woke up at around 9:30 am due to searing heat in the ceiling less top floor whose roof is a galvanized iron sheet, so I went downstairs to sleep again occasionally awaken by some noises but slept through until more than 20 minutes past 11 in the morning. I watched Cedie a Filipino film based on the novel Little Fauntleroy, Magkapatid, Saan Ka Man Naroroon etc. 

I checked online for my social media and also watch the streaming of Seven Last Words of Jesus Christ broadcasted from the Jaro Metropolitan Cathedral, Jaro, Iloilo City while also streaming my gameplay of The Sims 4 building up an amusement park in Windenburg World. 

Later in the day I streamed religious films from The Song of Bernadette (1943), The Reluctant Saint (1962) and The Bells of St. Mary's (1945). I also ate steamed oysters we call talaba for snack. At night, I watched Magnifico, a 2003 Filipino film and Cecil B. DeMille's 1956 epic film The Ten Commandments, a sound version of his original silent film of the same title. 

Maundy Thursday for Catholic Holy Week

Nothing much this day Maundy Thursday. I just streamed on a Facebook page I created about biblical and religious films this Lenten week so others can watch and reflect and meditate on their lives. I also watch some Filipino language films on television like Dubai, Tanging Yaman, Tyanak, Himala, Filipino-dubbed English movie The Bible and Mysteries at the Museum hosted by Don Wildman on The Travel Channel.

I notice there is a constant loud hammering of something like someone is doing some home repairs or whatnot and also some heard some soldering iron in our neighbors turns out that bald head bearded Muslim perv is doing some carpentry or housework on this Maundy Thursday and I don't bother to know further because he is a creep I don't want to investigate further. 

My afternoon snack is two sandwich which I put some sweetened condensed milk as the spread. Hmmm sweet and delicious but I better watch out my blood sugar. I also order an errand again from the same neighbor relative I always ask every time this time ask him to buy me 1/4 kilo sugar and 90 grams powdered Bear Brand milk. 

Holy Wednesday for Catholic Holy Week

I woke up today at past 9 am to some salespeople selling some safety regulator and hose for liquefied petroleum gas we use for cooking. I salesman about 5 feet 7 inches or 5'8" tall pimpled face with lots of holes and dusky man talking to us and explaining about fire safety of using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and promoting his safety regulator and hose but they are a bit expensive, and we don't have money to purchase now.

I could not trust these salespeople because a lot has been said about them before that these LPG safety regulator salespeople are not trustworthy people and that this is a big scam, at least more than one of them are visiting a home and if the people in the house are busy engaging in their discussion and promotion of their product they become so engrossed that they lost their awareness of their surrounding and that the other people with the man talking will go inside and steal some things without the residents aware of them snooping around. Beware of these LPG safety salespeople or other salespeople going around just be vigilant and watchful.

I wanted to go to the market to buy some things but changed my mind at the last minute and assist instead a neighbor to register her newly bought sim card required by the law under Republic Act No. 11934 or commonly known as the Sim Registration Act. She and her young daughters watched a film I Do! I Die!! (D'yosko Day) (1997) in Cinema One of GSAT Satellite TV and first part of It's Showtime in Kapamilya Network Channel 22. 

In the afternoon I played The Sims 4. My lunch was just rice, pinakbet and lamayo pinakas na karaho fish. I also ask a neighbor relative to buy me 2L Coke and 2 serving of arroz caldo and he arrived a short while later. 

My neighbor creep who is a Muslim wants to break his vocal cord and sing out loud annoyingly and atrociously a classic song during the night of Holy Wednesday. This creep (who was stocky bald headed and bearded in his 40s) has freaked me out a lot in the past with his creepy behavior and obsession on me because I wear combat boots which I realized he also has the same fetish as me - boots fetish. He is attracted to any guys wearing boots most especially high cut lace up boots like combat boots. He also desires to buy a pair of boots and wear them but could not afford to buy one. 

Holy Tuesday for the Catholic Holy Week

Nothing much today. I woke up at least 15 minutes after 10 am in the morning and do my usual routine - gargle and have a hot coffee with milk and setup my laptop which I kept in the cabinet for the first time in in several months and television to watch some movies and shows.

My mother is not around because she went for the Lenten recollection of her religious group community, Ang Dios Gugma in Barangay Hibao-an, Mandurriao, Iloilo City. 

It was just me and my father during the day because my nephew is in school and just home for lunch and his out in the afternoon. I fed the cat who keeps coming inside the house to beg for some food which I gave fishbones. 

I slept in the room on the left side opposite my father's room. This room where my sister next to me sleep and sometimes with my nephew and our youngest sister. I slept there at around 3:30 in the afternoon only to jolted awake by ant bites inside my shorts specifically at my crotch so I have to shake it off to rid of the ants and thinking maybe the food that was left when my nephew took a lunch there feast on it but I never saw any food remains so I just dust off the bed with clothes. 

Nothing much on the rest of the afternoon but a postman left a letter for my eldest cousin about her property, and I asked a neighbor relative for an errand to buy me a 1.5 Liter Coca Cola and 3 sticks of pork barbecue. 

At night I was asked by my sister to fry the Magnolia ready to cook homemade fried chicken while I am still playing The Sims 4 so paused the game and fry it and go back to play the game while I am cooking waiting for the chicken to be cooked brown. 

Holy Monday for Catholic Holy Week

Nothing so special for today still the same regular day and things came as usual as every day. Since there is a shift in the academic school year since the pandemic in 2020 the children have classes even in the sweltering heat of the summer.

My nephew came home complaining that he got injured when a schoolmate forces my nephew to carry him on his back, but he must be too heavy for my nephew to carry on his back which causes him to outbalance and fell on his knee causing a minor injury.

When he came home from school after about an hour, I asked him to buy me 1/4 kilo sugar and sweetened condensed milk in the sari sari store to which he obliged I gave him 100 pesos and returned with a change of I think 30 pesos. 

My mom came told me something gross in the kitchen sink and I came to check it out only to find out my father left his chamber pot made of plastic and shapes like a pitcher, so I jokingly asked to my mother, "Did you prepare some juice on that pitcher?" pointing towards the location of the pitcher which makes my mother laugh. My father is somehow suffering some kind of dementia or Alzheimer's disease because he keeps on forgetting things, he keeps asking the same question over and over again, keeps doing some unusual things not of a normal person with a sound right mind, keeps mumbling or talking to himself even if no one is around him even if he is in bed sometimes, he can be heard mumbling or murmuring. 

I decided to prank father again tonight at about 11:30 pm while he was watching Youtube on the smart television on his room. I connected my phone's Youtube app to the smart television's Youtube app in his room while he was watching. I played the Nick Crowley's Darkest Videos 2 with the Creepy looking mustachioed bearded man knocking on the door he was pissed off why this creepy man always play on his television's Youtube app and also Sabog Sabog Tayo parody music video of Michael V. I laugh silently while listening to him mumbling about the things he saw in the television. 

Usual Sunday

Our day today started early when mom woke up at 1 am today to prepare for their areaassignment in Ang Dios Gugma Community (The God Is Love) in Sibunag, Guimaras. She has to prepare her pack lunch for the said event early and they left at almost 3 am since they still have to travel by RORO (roll-on roll-off) shipping vessel going to Guimaras from Iloilo. As I pass by the way from living room to kitchen I pass by the room of my father and heard him talking to himself as if he is talking to someone when he is alone in his sleep. I think this is a sign of Alzheimers but he still has some memory with him but most of the time forgetful. When he was still working as a school's assistant superintendent, he talks a lot he is very talkative and not careful and not choosing with what he wants to talk about maybe that's the reason he carried it until he is old and forgetful. 

I went to bed to sleep in the second wooden floor as usual early in the morning today at 3:40 am and woke up at 9:21 am but just transfer down to the living room to sleep further until 10:20 am when I have to wake up to do some livestreaming for NBA but found out only few minutes remaining of the game LA Clippers versus New Orleans Pelican which the Pelicans won 122 - 114.

My two younger sisters prepare the kitchen - the one next to me cooks the food while the youngest washes the dishes and swept the floor while I stream but after a quick stream, I went to take a bath after a few days of not taking a bath and the sweat which dried up white marks on my blue worn out T-shirt which looks like a floor rag already. I use katialis soap to rid myself of strong body odor and also to get rid of my skin allergy. 

The day pass by as usual as any other day I am watching a movie on my laptop - Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975),  Alakdang Gubat (1976) in the television through GSAT Satellite TV and other shows after that. 

I love the street food brought by my younger sister and his son my nephew when they arrive from the market to buy some stuff and also the cold chocolate drink. 

In the night I streamed The Sims 4 from 6 pm until 8:25 pm because I still have to stream Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho and I rested for awhile. In about 8:41 pm I begin to open my laptop and setup my stream and streamed Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho only to be blocked and removed my livestream due to copyrights by the GMA Network, Inc. I will try again next week. I might get some short clips from the recorded video though and post it on my page. 

I just want to relax the rest of the night watching Youtube and other articles online.
