The CK Daily – A Little Tradition from My Town
TGIF! Hopefully you are almost done with your weekly tasks.
This week here in our area, we celebrated a festival called Boling-Boling. It is an old tradition that has been practiced since the time of our ancestors in Catanauan. The celebration runs from Sunday to Tuesday, and the next day is Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of the Lenten season.
The word “Boling” means dirt. It may sound funny at first, but it actually has a deeper meaning. It reminds us that we are imperfect, that we make mistakes, and that we need to repent and spiritually cleanse ourselves as we prepare for Lent.
During Boling-Boling, the town feels like one big carnival. You will see people wearing colorful outfits, some dressed like clowns, and they throw powder as part of the tradition. Others walk around town in different costumes, and some even imitate personalities they want to poke fun at. It is lively, a little chaotic, and very much part of our local culture.
It is always interesting to witness how traditions like this are passed down from generation to generation.
Do you enjoy watching events like this? Here are some photos from the celebration.
Have a restful and enjoyable weekend!

Learning Center Article – Do I Need the Latest Server?
Data centers aren’t cheap. Just the cost of power requirements for keeping your equipment running can be staggering. Adding the cost of new servers can often feel like too much. If you have high demands and a tight budget, you need a way to get more power and performance for every dollar spent. For most applications, the easiest way to do this is to look at refurbished servers and parts.
