Undas Philippines 2017

in #philippines9 years ago

After 2 days, our internet is back finally. I don't know why our provider took it off but I am positive it is because of "Undas". Every single holiday in the Philippines, internet providers throttle internet speed and I am not happy about it. Well, hello everyone. Hope all is well with you all.

Moving on, today is the 1st of November and we celebrate "All Saint's Day" and tomorrow (November 2nd), we celebrate "All Souls Day". We call this in the Philippines, "UNDAS."

So what is UNDAS? Just a brief description: Undas is a yearly Filipino custom (especially Roman Catholics and Christians) where we (Filipinos) respect our departed loved ones by going by their remaining parts in burial grounds to appeal to God for their souls and recall them. We bring blossoms, the "atang" (nourishment and drink offering for the souls) and light candles. Some notwithstanding bring surrounded photos of their long lost friends and family and most remain overnight recounting the Rosary and the Litany for the Dead. The living relatives additionally set aside this opportunity to bond with each other.

The festival of the Undas is an ideal opportunity to recollect every one of the individuals from the Mystical Body of Christ, the Church Triumphant in Heaven (The Saints), the Church Militant on Earth (The Living) and the Church Suffering in Purgatory (Poor Souls).~bloghound~

Gah our telcos are terrible because they know a lot of people will be spending some time home and using their net they throttle speeds.

I was killed in a ranked game last night because of lag and high ping rate because of my ISP.
