Holy week is fun in Manila, be it going to the beach and get wasted or just staying in Manila and wandering around the city to find a bar that is open and spending 4 days drinking. Cable Car in Makati has always been the staple - as it is considered to be the middle ground for people coming from QC and those coming from the south.
Here, people don't have the concept of holy week, it's not a long weekend. All they look forward to is Easter, which I guess makes more sense. Why celebrate (or dwell on) the bad things (the crucifixion) when you can just look forward to the good (the resurrection).
Matmat's baptism is tentatively set on Black Saturday, which I find weird. Oh well, we are just following the Church's schedule. I don't even know if the Church allows baptism during the only full day when Jesus is dead.
On a lighter note, I am very very thankful that South Park has regained its humor that made me watch it in the first place. For the past few seasons, it seemed that Matt and Trey just churn episodes to collect the money (with the exception of last season's "Trapped in the Closet" episode", but for the first 4 episodes this season, it has been hilarious!!! In the first 4 episodes, they have managed to kill off Chef and create a controversy by showing (while not actually showing) the "likeness" of Mohammed. Seemed like Comedy Central chickened out.
