Delayed Grocery Day
Because Edgar was sick, I had to move my grocery day today. It is also Theo, the dog, grooming day.
Left the condo around 9:30 AM with my favorite Omega Speedmaster 38 mm on my left wrist, my Apple watch on my right, and Theo in his carrier.
We first dropped-off Theo at Pet Express for his grooming.
We parked the car and went to The Landmark Supermarket where we bought our groceries. After paying for them, l left Edgar, the driver, to bring our purchases home and return when Theo and I will be picked up.
Visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. I was able to finish my morning prayers. Also bought a leather coin purse to replace my broken one. Although, Edgar will have the broken one (because of the zipper) to be repaired. I also looked for a watch strap for Lyn. My niece gifted her in one of the Christmases a watch. When she was fixing her things in her drawer, she saw the watch. It is no longer ticking (must need its battery replaced) and the leather strap is weathered. Wasn't able to find a NATO strap for it. It is quite thin.
I went to Healthy Options because I have to buy a small-sized bottles of the medicines and/ or supplements I would be bringing to Japan. The new rule is that medicine should be in their original package. I should also bring the doctor's prescription. What is nice, I just learned that I can use my Senior Citizen ID when I buy supplements at Healthy Options. 😆
Decided to have an early lunch, so went to Yakiniku Like! I ordered the Prime Karubi and Misuji Set. I did not forget the Onsen Egg. The sauces I like here are the Like Original BBQ Sauce, and the Garlic Soy Sauce. Full!

Proceeded to SM Makati to look for a watch strap. Nope. Then to Uniqlo to buy another geared jeans that I plan to bring to Japan.
Checked Glorietta for the strap. Nope.
Since Theo is already done with his grooming and already in the car, went to Baguio Country Club to buy half raisin bread before proceeding to the parking lot.

Mini Camera
I was not able to buy groceries yesterday nor attend the anticipated Mass because Edgar, the driver, is sick. Readjusted my schedule to:
- Lyn would be attending the anticipated Mass at Holy Family Parish Church.
- I would be attending the morning Sunday Mass at Holy Family Parish Church.
- We will buy groceries at The Landmark Supermarket and bring Theo, the dog, for his grooming at Pet Express on Monday. This way, Edgar would have two days to recover and get well.
I walked my way to church to attend the Sunday Mass. I also put the mini camera I recently bought via Lazada to its paces. The camera is really small which you can use as a spy camera. I am not expecting much from it. It doesn't have a stabilizer. I think it would be worse than most found videos. LOL, I can see the result when I get home and download the video on my laptop.

Holy Family Parish Church

The Mass presider is Fr. John Ken a.k.a. Fr. JK. The first Mass in the morning is in Tagalog.
The word of the day is blessed (or mapalad).
Blessed in world standards: good life, stable job, nice family, enough money, famous, successful in life.
Blessed in the Gospel: poor in spirit, persecuted, humble, being oppressed because of God.
God's logic: Beatitude is like the North Star. It gives direction on how we, the believers of Christ, should live our life. Gratitude.
It does not mean Jesus wants us to be poor or being oppressed. Jesus does not want to lose our dignity as a person. In the midst of hardships, God's grace comes. In weakness, holiness can grow. Our struggles in life can sometimes lead us to be closer and be close to God. God is always present most specially in hardships, sorrows, and pain.
Hindi puno ang bulsa, pero puno ng tiwala.
Hindi mayaman per may kapayapaan.
Open the "eyes of faith"--eyes that see blessings and grace in the simple and the ordinary even in the trying situations of our life.
The blessed are those who chose gratitude and trust, not because of the problems raised, but because God is with us all the time.
We become channels of blessing when we speak good into the lives of others. Let your words become God's instrument of blessing. Let your words be an instrument of sincerity, affirmation, and encouragement for each other. If our words lift up others, we are not only blessed but we are also a blessing to others.
After the Mass, I walked to Cash and Carry Mall. I wanted to buy ice cream to-go. But since I have not eaten breakfast and I am hungry, I ate breakfast of tapa, egg and garlic fried rice at Pancake House. Also went to Japan Home Centre to buy a cellphone and utility case. And for my initial intention, I bought ice cream-to-go at Dairy Queen.
I walked my way back home.
