Time for the battery of my Toyota Avanza replaced. Normally, I would have left the condo around 2PM to attend the anticipated Mass. Decided to leave before lunch instead.
Went to Motolite for the battery replacement. Traded-in the old battery to get a discount.
Next, since there is still time, asked Edgar, the driver, to drop me off at Greenbelt so I can attend the Saturday Mass.
The Mass presider is Fr. Joel.
Today's reading is on the reaction of the people when the 10 Commandments were given to the people by Moses. They said, they will do what the Lord is telling them.
With the Jews, the 10 Commandments are very important. Surely, Saints Joachim and Anne taught it to Mother Mary. The same would have been done by Mama Mary with Jesus.
How do we look at the 10 Commandments?
As 10 suggestions. Suggestion = proposed to you. You can ignore it or not.
As 10 options. It is open to your choice. There is no wrong; there is no right.
The 10 Commandments are 10 Commitments. Something you are serious; something that is sacred. It is a commitment to us by God. It is our commitment to God and our neighbors.
Proverbs 19:16 states "Keep God's laws and you will live longer; if you ignore them, you will die."
After the Mass, I went to Shake Shack for lunch and a taste test. It is like an expensive McDonald's. I ordered their new item on the menu, Teriyaki Shack (PhP400.00), Cheese Fries (PhP250.00), and a small Vanilla Shake (PhP165.00).

Cheese Fries
From the three items I ordered, I enjoyed the shake. The burger is filling but there is nothing spectacular about the taste. The fries? It's OK. Not sure if I prefer the Wendy's fries over this. Maybe if there is mayonnaise with catsup as dip..?
Received an SMS earlier about BPI credit card's tie up with Lucerne. I wanted to own a Chopard Happy Sports watch. After that, I would not be buying any more automatic Swiss watches.
Making excuses? I wanted to pamper myself because me thinks I will be losing a big amount of money... again. Shame on me. (Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.)
Chopard Happy Sports
Proverbs 26:4 says "Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him." It is a passage from the Scripture that was shared in a YouTube video titled "God is Telling you to START IGNORING Someone if...", which happens to be in my timeline when I checked YouTube before leaving the condo this morning. Hmmm... ðŸ’
After, I went to Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark, one of the Jubilee churches. Hoping to gain a plenary indulgence and offer it for my Tatay. It is his death anniversary today. I actually offered Mass this morning at 6AM and am planning to attend the online Mass. Woke up past 7AM. 😔
Bought medicine at Mercury Drug also at The Landmark. Then proceeded back to Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel to attend the anticipated Mass.
I was able to finish my Precious Blood Chaplet devotion, and joined the community to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Rosary.
The Mass presider is Fr. Reginald.
When the apostles asked Jesus to teach them how to pray (He taught them the Our Father), they have the desire to imitate Jesus not only in prayer but how He lives.
Jesus wants disciples; not spectators. The way of Jesus is not the way of the world.
After the Mass, I bought underwear at The Landmark, withdrew at BPI (for the replacement of my HR-V's tires), bought food-to-go at Peri-Peri, mini-cake at Mary Grace, and Frappuccino-to-go at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. 40A
