The Lasagna Manila

Grocery day.

Left a bit late so that Edgar, the driver, who is not feeling well can extend rest a little. Left with my favorite Omega Speedmaster 38 mm on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right. Also wore my on Cloudhorizon 2 Waterproof.

After paying for the groceries at The Landmark Supermarket, I left Edgar to bring our purchases home. He will be back later to pick me up after the anticipated Mass.

Skipped the Saturday noon Mass and went for an early lunch at Yakiniku Like. Then, I visited the Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. Walked my way to Glorietta 1 for a yogurt fix at Red Mango. Ate it at one of the tables of Glorietta 4's Food Choices.

Since there is still no The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf at Glorietta, and the dining area of Food Choices is closed and being renovated, I walked to The Landmark Food Center where I started today's blog.

When done, I walked my way to Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel. I was able to join the community to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Rosary.

The anticipated Mass presider is Fr. Benny.

The challenge of our faith is to truly believe that Jesus has risen.

The Gospel tells how some of the disciples recognized the risen Lord. Jesus called Mary Magdalene's name. Peter was told to cast his net on the other side of the boat. Scriptures were explained to the walking disciples and Jesus broke the bread.

How can you see the risen Lord? We can experience the risen Lord anywhere, everyday… in the Mass

The Eucharist is the continuation of what happened in Calvary.

After the Mass, I went to The Landmark Food Center. Yesterday, when I bought Poppy's Halo Halo, I noticed the stall beside it--The Lasagna Manila. I wanted to try it, too, but it is a Friday. Thus, I will buy one today, instead, to have a taste.

I took photos using the kids camera I brought with me--myFirst Camera 10. The challenge is to take "creative" photos using a very basic camera.
