Oh Happy Day

Easter Feaster.
Good Friday through to Easter Tuesday just amazes me with the amount of blessings that is poured into my life on this weekend. Every year around this time it just feels like the most magical of weekends. Especially this year; it has been a beautiful experience. Becoming a sponsor for a newly baptised friend, celebration of Easter, of course the chocolate treasure hunt with my little cousins, seeing friends, wonderful mass and the remembrance of Jesus' death. The most heartfelt part of Easter, besides the acknowledgement of the special times in the church calender, is the weekend to be Holy with the whole family. Which for us means karaoke. The wonderful celebrations that bring us together are also the sad and sacrificial times of Jesus' life who was nailed to the cross, who died for our sins. His sacrifice has given us the beauty of life and for us it is our filo style Easter - one none to beat. Masses of food and karaoke are the two things that will always be, with no doubt, at a Filipino celebration. I'm so privileged to be a part of my family and the crazy times we have together. Without each person in my family, without the drama, without the love, without the beauty, without the karaoke, without the fun, without the faith, and without culture I would feel like a book without pages. Each part of my family is a page of my book of life. And only them fulfill my so called oh happy days.
