(un)holy week

it has come and gone without creating a particular fuzz with me. i don't know when it happened to me but the holy week for me has been anything but for quite some time now.

i remember that as a kid, i'd be particularly keen in going to church and praying harder than usual during these times. i'd go to those processions behind the statue of some saint. i'd endure movie marathons about christ's passion and other life stories of some martyr who died depending his faith...which back then was sometimes due to lack of choice. of course now, during the advent of cable and satellite tv, literally hundreds of other shows can be seen on the tube not even remotely related to that subject. i, myself stayed stuck in our house in subic watching reruns of gilmore girls and seventh heaven for 9 (or was it 10?) hours. i used up this time-off to catch-up on much-needed sleep, read a few chapters of my book, and watch some films on dvd.

anyways, as i was saying, as a kid, this season bore some degree of significance (even of the smallest measurement). all of which, i lost as i grew up.

i hope it's not because i'm losing my faith.
