Personal Embosser Stamp
Saw in Lazada a personal embosser stamp. This seller has very good reviews (unlike others that would not use the design you requested from them). The seller also responds immediately. I used ai.duck to make my "logo".

My logo has JMJ on top, meaning Jesus, Mary and Joseph. The border is white lilies, symbol of JMJ for purity. And my name is in the center.
Straightforward
Hair pampering day.
Left the condo around 9:30 AM with my black Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right.
I was dropped-off at The Link where Coco Grace Salon is located.
After, went to Mercury Drug to buy Euthyrox.
For food-to-go, I went to Greenwich Pizza. Since it would take time to prepare, I left to go to One Ayala to look for a puffy sling bag. I thought there was a branch of The Travel Club on the said mall. Then, I remembered that it is at their SM Mall of Asia branch that I was able to buy the hellolulu bag on sale. My feet brought me to Straighforward. They have an ongoing sale. Buy 1 take 1. I was able to buy their chestnut Toru Sling and their affogato/ sand Taiko Sling.
Picked-up my food and proceeded home.

Kaya To-Go
I will be attending the anticipated Mass at Sto. Nino de Paz Greenbelt Chapel; thus, left the condo around 2 PM with my favorite Omega Speedmaster 38 mm on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right (double writing).
On the way, I finished my morning prayers.
I was dropped off at Greenbelt where I would be attending the Mass. Joined the community to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Rosary.
The anticipated Mass presider is Fr. Richard.
Pentecost is considered the birthday of the Church. After Easter, we are in the Ordinary Time, on the life of Jesus and His teachings. This is the time when we can move on and perform our mission.
We are aware of the Spirit during the sacraments--baptism, confirmation, ordination (priest), the Holy Eucharist.
After the Mass, I visited the Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. Went to the store's supermarket to buy olive oil for Theo, the dog. Brought my purchases to Edgar, the driver, at the parking lot and asked him to join me so he could wait for the food I ordered to-go. Upon ordering and paying at Kaya, left Edgar and strolled around the mall. I was actually looking for the hellolulu Nami Dumpling Bag, which I bought before at the The Travel Store. I wanted to buy another color. I use it as my instant camera bag. Hehehe! I have several instant cameras (including kids toy camera swith a thermal printer). If I bring one, I usually place it in said puffy bag. Did not find one.
Returned to Kaya. Edgar is no longer there. Thus, proceeded to the parking lot to go home.

Phobac, Again
I will be attending the noon Friday Mass at Sto. Nino de Paz Grenbelt Chapel. Left the condo around 10 AM with my Tudor Black Bay 54 on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right.
On the way, thinking already where I would be having my (meatless) lunch. This way, this thoughts would not pop-up during Mass and get distracted. Decided to eat again at Phobac, and this time, try their Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet. Last time, I tried their Seafood Curry.
I was able to finish my morning prayers, the Precious Blood of Jesus chaplet, and joined the community to pray the Sacred Heart of Jesus prayer and the Rosary.
The Mass presider is Fr. Godwin.
When we get hurt or hurt someone close to use, we experience guilt. Tendency is to distance or hide from them. If we really value the relationship, do not distance ourselves.
Why did Jesus ask three times? When asked three times and responded the same, it means we have thought and committed our response.
Do our actions support what we are saying? Words nowadays are “cheaps”.
What does Peter's response mean (Lord you know everything. Lord you know I love You.)? What is certain, Jesus loves us.
Jesus is the face of the Father’s mercy
Then, proceeded to Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. Bought extra virgin oil at the department store's supermarket and went to Phobac.
Aside from the Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet, I ordered Spring Rolls (which I requested to be packed as it has meat) and Ripe Mango Shake.
Went to BPI to withdraw from their ATM and called Edgar, the driver, to pick me up.
Passed by Cash and Carry Mall before proceeding home where I bought a cathedral and viand at Goldilocks and ice cream at Dairy Queen.

Chili's
Grocery day.
Should have left around 9 AM. I was late. In any case, no worries as it is not first Saturday. Left with my favorite Omega Speedmaster 38 mm on my left wrist, my Apple watch on my right, and my on Cloudhorizon 2 Waterproof.
We have easily found a parking slot and buying the groceries at The Landmark Supermarket is a breeze. Left Edgar, the driver, after paying our purchases so he can bring it home.
Walked my way to Sto. Nino de Paz Greenbelt Chapel. I was able to finish my morning prayers and the Precious Blood of Jesus chaplet. I was able to join the community to pray the Rosary.
The Mass presider is Fr. Paolo.
What is prayer?
- Joy
- Act
- Contrition
- Supplication
- PUSH (pray until something happens)
- Not only talking but listening
- Don't give God instructions but report for duty
Prayer is a relationship.
Prayer is not only receiving God's grace but remaining with God. Not only being with God but being in the mission with God.
After the Mass, visited the Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark.
For lunch, I went to Chili's at One Ayala. One of the things I get distracted when attending Mass or praying is thinking where I should eat. Thus, in order not to get distracted, before the Mass, I already decide where to eat. LOL.
I ordered their Classic Nachos, Country-Style Pork Belly, and lemonade. Happy with my lunch. And because I ordered a lot, I have a doggy bag with me.

Since the place I usually hang-out after lunch is still closed (I do hope they would still be the ones occupying that space), went to The Landmark Food Center to start this blog.
Back at Greenbelt Chapel, I was able to join the community to pray the Divine Mercy chaplet, and the Rosary (although I think I napped while praying as I think I skipped mysteries).
The anticipated Mass presider is Fr. Albert.
Fr. Albert
It is the Feast of the Lord’s Ascension, 40 days after the Resurrection.
The Ascension is the story of the new way of Jesus remaining with us--His earthly mission has been completed, and His heavenly mission begins.
His glorification, salvation. His love did not end at the Cross, nor in His resurrection nor in His ascension. Jesus is interceding for us to the Father.
Jesus is the Advocate. The Holy Spirit is the "other" advocate--the advocate within us.
Being holy is a long process, a daily struggle. It is difficult to be holy by our own merit; this is when grace comes in.
Be spiritual persons— persons truly living under the Holy Spirit.
After the Mass, I went to Pet Express to buy Theo's dog food, and met Edgar there. He brought the dog food in the car while I went to The Landmark Food Center to buy halo-halo (Poppy's) and lasagna (The Lasagna Manila) to-go.
Home.

Phobac
Attending the noon Mass at Sto. Nino de Paz Greenbelt Chapel. Left with my Tudor Black Bay 54 on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right around 10 AM.
On the way, I finished my morning prayers. At the chapel, prayed the Precious Blood of Jesus chaplet and a decade of St. Gertrude Prayer. Joined the community to pray the Rosary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus prayer.
The Mass presider is Fr. Aldwin.
The pain won't stop for you. Pain stops only if you know to put a "period" on it.
Pain in our hearts, our hatred, etc. will always be there unless you put a period on it, put boundaries, let go.
This Easter season, the new life with Him can be achieved by letting go, setting a boundary, discussed how you feel, have the capacity to say "no".
After the Mass, I visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark.

Received a message about the technician explaining the issue of my Chromebook and should drop by before 7 PM. So I went to Asus immediately. Unfortunately, the technician is still having his lunch, thus left so I can eat my lunch.
Went to Phobac where I ordered their Seafood Curry and Ripe Mango Shake. Not bad.

Went back to Asus. The technician said that there is no problem with my micro SD card port. Being a Chromebook, this should be addressed by the Chrome OS. Guided me how to report the issue to Google so they can provide a patch for it.
Then, home.
Norlie's Wake
Learned last night from Rolette, Norlie's daughter, when she messaged Lyn that her mother has passed away. So, today, we planned to go to her wake. We will bring Theo, the dog, along so that Lyn can come.
Edgar, the driver, brought the Mass card I requested him to buy. He was able to buy one at the Sta. Clara de Montefalco Parish. So instead of leaving the condo before 11 AM (opening of the department store) to go to The Landmark to buy a Mass card in case Edgar wasn't able to do so, we left around 9:30 AM.
The travel to Manila Memorial Park/ La Paz Funeral Homes is uneventful. Norlie has been cremated. She died last Tuesday. Since she is so thin, her eldest (son) decided to have her cremated. I led the rosary for Norlie.
While we were inside, Edgar is walking Theo at the park.

After, we dropped off Lyn and Theo at the condo and proceeded to Glorietta. Edgar was curious about the queue at the Yakiniku Like so I said he will also have his lunch with me. Obviously, he liked it.
We parted ways. He will be waiting at the parking lot while I do my other business. Visited the Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. Bought shing-a-ling at Lord Stowe's. Bought a half-loaf of raisin bread at the Baguio Country Club.
Home.
