First Friday of June 2026
Left around 10 AM to go Sto. Nino de Paz Greenbelt Chapel to attend the First Friday noon Mass. On my left wrist is my Tudor Black Bay 54 and my Apple watch on my right. Wore YUI Tabi shoes.
I finished my morning prayers, the Precious Blood of Jesus chaplet, and joined the community to pray the Rosary, and the Sacred Heart of Jesus Novena.
The Mass presider is Fr. Joel.
Identity is very important to a person. Family, culture, education, thumbprint etc. mark our identity.
This is the same for Jesus—son of David. It speaks about His genealogy, His roots. The Messiah will come from the line of David is the common belief among the Jews.
The Messiah is not only the son of David but the son of God.
Why did Jesus raise this question? Because the Jews refuse to accept His identity—truly human and truly divine, without undermining one from the other.
To accept Jesus' humanity is to accept our capacity to be channels of goodness, etc. To accept Jesus' divinity is to accept our capacity to be channels of His Grace.
After, I visited the Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. Passed by the store's supermarket. Proceeded to Phobac for lunch. Ordered their shrimp roll and seafood curry.
Home.

Another Stamp Embosser
The second stamp embosser for my "family crest" has arrived. Maybe the font is too small that it is almost unreadable; but I like the first one I ordered. And embossing is not that deep unlike the first. Must be because of the design...?
I ordered this from another seller since the price is lower than the shop I ordered first.

Grocery
Since I was not able to buy groceries last Saturday (nor attend the anticipated Mass), I'll be joining Theo, the dog, to the mall for he is scheduled for grooming. After dropping him at Pet Express, proceeded to The Landmark Supermarket to buy the groceries. After paying, left Edgar, the driver, to bring our purchases at home. He will also wait for Theo to finish.
Visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel. I wanted to check a hellolulu bag, proceeded to Bratpack at Greenbelt 5. The bag I am interested is no longer available.
For lunch, went to Yakiniku Like at Glorietta.
Bought a raisin bread at Baguio Country Club before proceeding home.
BTW there is an ice cream I will NOT eat, even if it is being promoted by Piolo Pascual.

Sunday Mass
Since my niece used the services of Edgar, the driver, yesterday for her to attend a baptism, I did not attend the anticipated Mass. Instead, I would be attending the 8:30 AM Mass at the Holy Family Parish Church. Walked my way to church.
Normally, the Mass during this hour is in Tagalog. But while the priest is walking toward the altar, noticed that he is a foreigner. I wonder if it will be in Tagalog? Nope.
Today is the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity. Where there is love, there is the Holy Trinity.
After, since I would be buying one my medicines, I walked my way to Cash and Carry Mall. Only the supermarket and some restaurants/ fast food are open. Thus, I ate my breakfast at The Pancake House. Ordered their classic pork tocino, and hot chocolate.
Then, I went to Mercury Drug to buy the medicine, cathedral window and packed laing at Goldilocks, and a magnifying glass at the National Bookstore.
Finally, I walked home.

Nanyang
Will attend the noon Friday Mass at the Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel. Left the condo with my Tudor Black Bay 54 on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right. Wore my Yui Tabi shoes.
On the way, finished my morning prayers. Prayed the Little Office and joined the community to pray the Rosary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus prayer.
The Mass presider is Fr. Ryan.
Some think that faith is like a magic wand--when we pray enough our problems are lifted away without lifting a finger.
For the Jewish people a mountain is a common figure of speech. It is a metaphor for incredibly complex problem in life, massive obstacles.
What are the mountains you have today?
Whatever you have asked in prayer, believe that you have received it. When we pray with faith, God transforms us. He grants us the knowledge, the wisdom, the capacity to overcome those mountains in our lives. He gives us the courage, the patience, the clarity, the humility. The grace to do the work. The map for the direction.
After, I visited the Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. And for lunch, I went to Nanyang. I ordered their Prawn Noodle Soup, Hainanese Kaya with Honey Traditional Toast, and Homemade Barley (warm).

Family Crest?
Excited for my personal stamp embosser to arrive, that I thought of creating one for our family. It would be my middle and last name. LOL
Searched for the meaning of these names and have duck.ai to design one for me. Of course, JMJ is on top of the crest, meaning Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
