Eve of 2025
My usual activity during the last day of the year is to go to the mall to buy cake with words written "Blessed <YYYY>", some fruits and pastry. In the afternoon, pick-up the food I ordered for our media noche.
So, at 9 AM, left the condominium to go to The Landmark Food Center to buy two Red Ribbon dedication chocolate cake and have the words "Blessed 2025". One is for us, the other is for Edgar, the driver.
Went inside the supermarket to buy some fruits, that is, bananas, grapes, and strawberries. Left Edgar to bring our purchases to the car after paying for them in order to buy the items requested by Lyn to buy.
I was able to buy the Fern-C at The Landmark's Mercury Drug. The Betadine nasal spray is out of stock; thus, went to the other branch of Mercury Drug at The Link, Not available.
Will have to check Watsons this time. Went to SM Makati since this drug store is only available in SM stores. There is a background story about Henry Sy and Mercury Drug. LOL
Both Watsons branches also do not have the Betadine nasal spray. Would ask Edgar to check if it is available in the Pasay branch of Mercury Drug.
Passed by the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf at Glorietta to buy ice-blended pure chocolate with whipped cream (frappuccino) to-go.
On the way home, received a call from a rider of Lalamove that he is already at the condo for the item I purchased online. I liked very much the Our Lady of Lourdes bag charm given to me as a Christmas gift by my nieces that I wanted a St. Joseph one. 😜 Bought it in myjourneyph at Instagram. In time, too, as I would have it blessed when I attend the Mass tomorrow.
At 3 PM, left the condominium to go to Emerald Garden Restaurant to pick-up the food I ordered for our media noche as I said I would be picking-it up around 4 PM. Since the traffic is light, was there at around 3:30 PM.
One of my nieces would be celebrating the New Year's Eve with me. She arrived around 6 PM.
We attended the online Mass of Greenbelt Chapel at 8 PM with Fr. Dave, the chaplain, as the Mass presider. Fr. Dave shared this blessing prayer (to be said by parents to their children):
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May His face shine upon, and be gracious to you.
May He look upon you with kindness, and give you His peace.
While waiting for 12 midnight, watched "Radiating on Top", Ayala Avenue New Year's Eve Countdown to 2025.
A blessed 2025 to us all!!! 🙏
