Local Tour

Lyn's nephew is in town because he will be assisting her when she goes under the knife.  The operation is scheduled for Monday, October 20.  Since it is his first time in Manila, I will give him a historical tour.  LOL

Lyn would remain behind with Theo, the dog.  She would be resting to prepare for the operation.

Included in the "mini-tour" is me, Joven, Luis, and Edgar the driver.

First stop is at the Rizal Park.  There were lots of people.  Learned that it is the sect Jesus Is Lord's anniversary.  I acted as the tourist guide and photographer.  😂

Next stops are Fort Santiago, Manila Cathedral, San Agustin Church, and shops at Intramuros.

Time for lunch, we will be going to The Aristocrat.  It is one of the historic restaurants in the Philippines which include Toho Panciteria Antigua (1888), Ma Mon Luk (1920), Ramon Lee Panciteria (1929), and The Aristocrat (1936).

Ordered Hototai Soup (PhP468.00), Boneless Chicken Barbecue (PhP325.00) for Joven and Edgar, Pork Spareribs (PhP375.00) for me, Pork Barbecue (PhP350.00) for Luis, Camaron Rebosado (PhP450.00), and Pinakbet Baboy (PhP345.00).

We then proceeded to SM Mall of Asia.  It is the largest mall in the Philippines.

This ends the tour.

Dropped Joven at the condo, passed by the office to pick the crystal I was surprised to find in my things, and was dropped at Greenbelt Chapel.

The anticipated Mass presider is Fr. Benny.

The parable is for the necessity to pray always without being weary. 

Prayer is communicating with God.  It is one way of deepening our relationship with God.

We have to persevere in prayer so that we can know God deeper and Him to know us better.

After the Mass, passed by the family corporation's parking lot--it has a small plot of land where I can bury destroyed occult objects.  Followed the steps of disposing cursed objects.  Then, proceeded to the Sta. Clara de Montefalco Parish Church to offer my life, family and property to God.  (I already attended the Mass before disposing of the object.)

Then, home.
