Busy week

Hello everybody! ^^ Mom is busy taking care of my cousin Andrew. My tita Ianne and Andrew will be staying here for a few days because my Mama Tina is in the hospital. =( Please help us pray for her speedy recovery.

So, here's what I've been doing these past few days. Let's start with Easter Sunday...
We went to Kuya Cobi's house to swim.. Yey!

And check out my new toy -- Slide from Kuya Cobi ^^ Wohooooo!!!
Thank you Kuya Cobi!

And I've been playing with my Barney again... ^^
Mom took a video of me while playing with Barney.

Pabasa or Pasyon

According to this link - The pasyon is a verse narrative about the life and suffering of Jesus Christ. The verses are structured in five-line stanzas, with each line containing eight syllables. The pasyon is commonly sung during Holy Week, starting Holy Monday. The reading of the pasyon is a traditional religious practice in the Philippines and people gather around the reader of the pasyon to listen and reflect. It is seen by many of its practitioners as a vow or panata

The tradition of chanting the pasyon is not rooted to the Spanish language that the songs were originally written in. but is connected to the singing of epics during cultural celebrations among indigenous Filipinos. The pasyon is usually chanted a capella though occasionally the chanters may be accompanied by guitars.
