today is deepavali festival and we are on holiday! yay!
according to my hurried research:
Deepavali also known as Diwali, literally means "row or garland of lights". Locally, it has been called "The Festival of Lights". It is symbolic of victory of good over evil, celebrated by most Hindus the world over. It highlights the victory of Lord Krishna, one of the deities of the Hindu pantheon, over the Demon King, Narakasura. It usually falls around late October or early November on the new moon day.
i guess i have a new definition of deepavali. deepavali = R&R... rest and relaxation ba! :-)
kuya and i got home at around 9am this morning from inuman at jan's. lack of sleep didn't stop us to watch the latest episode of heroes. loved it! after the viewing, we slept 'til around 1pm and craved for crabs and shrimps. we headed off to shensiong, got the epektos, and finally finished preparing what-should-have-been lunch at around 3:30pm. geez. it was all worth it after all.
champion ang crab, sinigang na shrimp, at halabos na shrimp. yummmy!
after lunch, we watched just like heaven. it was good! watched it a couple of years ago but i love it just the same. :)
i promised myself i will have a good swim this week. and i did! the pool was all mine! had a couple of laps for 30 minutes. tamang-tamang panghilamos sa sakit ng ulo ko dahil sa inuman kagabi. sarap mag swim! i love it!
i should say i feel fulfilled sa holiday na ito! ;)

Hehehe katuwa naman. And yes, we celebrate Diwali at home as well. We simply light a candle outside and offer sweets. Funny... sa Diwali nagsimula lahat. I even used it once as a code name for the Christmas exchange gifts. Who would've thought I'd end up with my own "Diwali" family hehehe.
Tama ba naman magkwento ako rito? Wahaha. Musta na? Miss you na.
