HR-V's Rustproofing

Second of the three Saturdays for my cars' maintenance.  I have already scheduled my Honda HR-V for its rustproofing and internal detailing at Ziebart.

Edgar already brought the car at Ziebart for its 8 AM appointment.  Cathy of Ziebart SMSed me to get my confirmation of the services to be availed, which I gave a go signal.

Past 9 AM, I left the condo to go to Ziebart to pay for the services.  This way, Edgar would just have to pick up the car on Tuesday when it is already available.  I think I did not even spend 15 minutes to do my business there, left, and proceeded to Glorietta.

At Ziebart

My plan for today is to buy the rest of my Christmas gifts, I was not thinking I would be able to attend the Saturday Mass.  I guess He has other plans... but, thank You!

First stop is at Kamiseta for Lyn's gift.

Next stop is at Bench for Edgar's, Bing's, and Sintaro's gifts.

That was fast!  LOL.  Thanks to the staff who assisted me on said stores.  

So proceeded to Sto. NiƱo de Paz Greenbelt Chapel for the Saturday Mass.  Was able to pray the Rosary and the Precious Blood chaplet before the Mass.

The Mass presider is Fr. Hans.  According to him, this (Christmas) season is bringing out the good in people (after he asked us to tell our seatmates that they look good).

The birth of Jesus brought the biggest change in the world.  Only Jesus can bring change to us and to others.  Let everyday be Jesus' birth by allowing Him to change us.

The greatest gift of Advent is change.

After the Mass, I went to BPI to withdraw from the ATM.  Note to self:  withdraw from my brother and I's joint Metrobank account for the Christmas ham we would be giving away to our relatives.

I went to Fiery Style at Glorietta 4's Food Choices for my late lunch of Steak Frites where I started this blog.

Then, I went to the House of Silvanas to order my next set of Christmas food gifts.  I would pick it up on Wednesday so I can give it to the office on Thursday.

On to my frappuccino fix at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf but remembered it is double stamp day today at their SM Store branch.  That is the only time I learned that they have a branch there on the 5th floor.  There were lots of people!!!  So, back to my usual branch near the Glorietta Activity Center.

On the way to Greenbelt Chapel for the anticipated Mass, stopped at The Landmark to buy a gift for my god daughter.  Hope she will like the leather wallet (for women).

The Mass presider is Fr. Jerome.  The 3rd candle of the Advent wreath, which symbolizes joy, was lit.

Advent is waiting for the coming of Jesus as we experience all the sufferings, pains, etc. with the hope that He will answer us... in His time.  (My ad lib: And rejoice on His coming).  I am just wondering why Fr. Jerome is talking about hope (the meaning of the 1st candle of the Advent wreath) when we are already on the 3rd Sunday of Advent for joy.

I was thinking of having a quilted backpack to carry my Chromebook on weekends.  I use a quilted tote bag but the strap keeps on sliding off my shoulder.  Was able to buy one at The Landmark.  Then, went to The Landmark Supermarket to buy imported chocolates which I will give to the security guards in our office building, whoever I meet, on Wednesday.

Picked up the items I purchased this morning which I left at The Landmark's package counter then proceeded home.

Have to leave early as I would be attending the Advent recollection via Zoom arranged by the Punto Por Punto Supporters Group.  The guest speaker is Doc Ditching.  I will have to set-up my Chromebook so I can cast the talk on TV so the ones at home can also attend, not just me.
