What To Do In Metro Manila During Holy Week

Big family. All our respective homes are inside the same compound; my own family, my siblings (with their own respective families) and our retired parents. We all share internet access and a single landline.

The IP phones serves as an intercom as well as a way to share the outside line by first dialing "9". It's easier to use an IP phone as everyone is already connected to my network (albeit, on different VLANs), rather than running a traditional PBX in which I would have to use dedicated analog lines for each phone to each house!

Prior to this, many years ago, I used Motorola DECT cordless phones. The system allowed me to integrate multiple cordless phones and have them work like a PBX. It was ok... when it worked. The problem I had was bad reception as you're only allowed to setup a single base unit as the Master. All cordless phones talks to the Master base only. Not ideal, so that's when I thought of running an IP phone system.

Got 7 IP phones with 6 currently active:
2 x Cisco SPA525G (WiFi)
5 x Cisco SPA504G (wired LAN)

The back end is a Cisco 2621XM Multiservice Router running Cisco CallManager Express. It's essentially the PBX and that's all it does.

As it's quite obvious by now, I'm the designated IT guy maintaining our home servers (Plex media server, DHCP/DNS), network (UTM, wired and wireless), voice (IP phones, PBX), and everything in between (UPS, cabling, IoT, smart home devices, etc.) We typically share on some of the investments and I try to buy pre-owned items as much as I can to reduce cost.

If you want to see more of what I do, check out this thread: Anyone into home automation/smart homes with integration to Alexa, Google Home, Siri, etc.?

I chose to stay at home this holy week to escape the heat, I've been out in the field daily since I started our house construction last January.

Now catching up with Punisher 2

I don’t do Visita Iglesia. Instead, I go through the Lenten program of the Church. Yesterday was especially tiring. There was the 3pm mass for the Veneration of the Cross followed by a procession then the Veneration of Sto. Entierro. Finished at 10pm. Tonight will be the Easter Vigil mass at 8pm

1 church lang kami (Santo Domingo Church) then dun na kami nag 14 stations. Grabe ulan last Thursday in Manila feeling ko magkaka flooding eh.

Hassle lang pag uwi madami mga namamanata going to Quiapo hogging all the roads.

Sacrifice ko yung hindi ako lumabas ng bahay from Holy Thu to Black Saturday. Not sure if it's really a sacrifice since I like staying a home hehehe

Yung ex bff ko na alam ko HINDI NAGSISIMBA, posted a photo of Easter Mass on church with matching tag pa. Why? Kasi nasa ibang bansa siya. Hahaha. Wtf. Marami din ako FB friends who posted church photos but I appreciate it. Nakakatuwa seeing church pics because it's beautiful. I know these people regularly attend Sunday Mass. I see nothing wrong with that kasi kita mo naman sincerity.

Napaka hypocrite lang for my ex bff e siya yung nagsabi na she doesn't believe in attending mass lalo at hindi Roman Catholic or non practicing ata asawa niya. Tapos ngayon post post siya. Mayabang talaga kaya I cut her off of my life already. I've known her since I was 4 yrs old ata, kahit anong suyo niya sakin at sabi ng Mom ko to forgive her, hindi ko na kaya siyang pakisamahan

My dream is to be a housewife

Of course I would treat my husband like a king for making my dream a reality diba. Para sakin wala ng mas hihigit pa yung pagsilbihan mo yung mahal mo sa buhay (family), it doesn't come near accolades, awards, promotion and money that comes with a job.

Seasonal Katoliko tawag ko sa mga ganyan. Nagsisimba lang kapag napapanahon/trending pag nagsimba ka.
