EN: calvary; ordeal; suffering
Your daily commute on EDSA during rush hour? That's a *kalbaryo*. Finals week when you have five exams and three projects due? *Kalbaryo*. Trying to explain technology to your grandparents over the phone? A major *kalbaryo*. It's any extremely difficult and painful experience that makes you feel like you're carrying a cross.
From Spanish "calvario" (Calvary), the site of Jesus' crucifixion.
Used to describe any severe trial or suffering, not just in a religious context.
