I missed the early morning mass. I stayed up late clearing my Blogshares portfolio and exchanging blogs with Randy.

To keep blogs' shares down, I had to buy whatever Randy sells and after 6 hours, I can sell them back to him. But due to time differences and availability. we can do it only during weekend. On weekdays, we should be both online because he's working and does not have time to do the trading in the morning on his side.

Anyway, Mama and I attended the special 5:00 o'clock mass in a nearby Chapel. The theme was the Cross: The Way to Follow Jesus. The chapel was not as crowded as in morning mass. Maybe not too many people know that there's a special afternoon mass held today. FR. Raul Buen, a Filipino priest, said the mass. There's procession after the mass but, I had to do some grocery shopping with the kids. They closed the street and we walked a little bit to get a cab. The carousel carrying the statue of Mama Mary was approaching the church accompanied by a band while playing their musical instruments. I didn't see what happened next because we got a cab and left.

In Cyberzone, I paid Smart bill, and then went to Abenson to follow Junjun and Tintin. I was already inside the store when my right sandal's buckle gave up. It was embarassing to sit down with a broken sandal's strap. Junjun and Tintin had difficulty choosing the sandals that will fit me. Pearl forgot her cellphone and cannot find me so she went home instead. After 45 minutes of waiting, Junjun got me a new pair of brown sandals but I cancelled the shopping. I didn't like brown sandals and it was a bit smaller for me.

On our way home, the procession passed us. Near the building where we live, some Barangay tanod didn't allow us to enter the area they blocked for the Feast celebration. I got off from the cab and blah blah blah to them. They let us pass while the rest of the cars rerouted. My alibi? I had sore feet from my new sandals and I couldn't walk any further...

We had a better view of the feast celebration from the balcony. They fired up series of firecrackers. I didn't watch the rest of the program because Randy is already online...

HAPPY FEAST DAY!
