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 ai.duck to design one for me. Of course, JMJ is on top of the crest, meaning Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

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".
Lazada seller: Design Your Own Embosser Stamp / Custom Embosser Seal for Personalized / Wedding Seal | Lazada PH
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.

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.
