First Saturday of August
Left the condo around 9 AM with my Omega Speedmaster 38 on my left wrist and my Apple watch on the right. Will have to be early for the first Saturday devotion.
The confessor is Fr. Alemar.
When I arrived, I was seventh in the queue. While in the queue, prayed the Act of Reparation for the first Saturdays of the month, and meditated on the Joyful Mysteries' Annunciation for 15 minutes.
Joined the community to pray the Rosary.
The Mass presider is Fr. Paolo.

After, went to Kaya for our food-to-go.
Passed by Cash and Carry Mall to buy ice cream at Dairy Queen before proceeding home.
Phobac
I would be attending the Friday Mass at Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel. Left with my Tudor Black Bay 54 on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right.
On the way, I finished my morning prayers. Joined the community to pray the Sacred Heart of Jesus prayer, the Rosary, and the Angelus.
The Mass presider is Fr. Benny.
The Gospel is about Jesus going back to His hometown where He was rejected. He did not make mighty deeds because of lack of faith.
Today is the Memorial of St. Ignatius of Loyola.
- Detachment in regards to how we look at God's creation. Detach from power, fame, riches, etc.
- Contemplation prayer. Read the Scripture, imagine it, and be part of the scene.
- Discernment. It is knowing what to do and say in order to fulfill the will of God. With the help of the Holy Spirit and God's grace. You know your choice is God's will when you are in peace with your decision.
After the Mass, I visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. For lunch, ate at Phobac in Glorietta. Ordered their Mixed Seafood Noodle.
Prayed the Precious Blood of Jesus chaplet on the way home.

Shareholders Meeting
Since in the previous meeting, the Board approved the sale of one of the properties, thus, the final decision is presented to the shareholders.
The meeting is held online via Zoom.
Last night, I prepared the worksheets for the attendance (to automatically compute if quorum has been reached based on each shareholder's share) and for the tally sheet containing the response from Google Forms.
As expected, most approved the sale. Tsk! Tsk!
I voted “No”.

Groceries and Anticipated Mass
Grocery day!
Recently, I am late. And today is no exception. I left the condo almost lunch time with my Omega Speedmaster 38 on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right. LOL.
After paying for our purchases, left Edgar, the driver, to bring the groceries home.
For lunch, ate at Yakiniku Like at Glorietta. Visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. Since there is still time before the anticipated Mass, went to The Landmark Food Center to watch YouTube.
The anticipated Mass Presider is Fr. Benchely.
Fr. Benchely
Why do we follow the Ten Commandments? To be included in the Kingdom of God.
Do we consider the Kingdom of God as a treasure? How?
1. Have an understanding heart that can distinguish right from wrong.
2. To have a heart that loves the Commandments of the Lord. "Piliin ang tama, totoo at dapat."
3. To have a heart that is ready to sell everything we have for the Kingdom of God.
After the Mass, went home.

Friday Mass
Again, left really late leaving the condo for the Friday Mass at Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel. Left with my Tudor Black Bay 54 on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right.
Joined the community to pray the Sacred Heart of Jesus prayer and the Rosary.
The Mass presider is Fr. Ryan.
Were you in a discussion with someone but you have not heard a single word? Do we know how to listen, even to the Word of God?
Three categories of listeners:
- Drive thru listener. Let the message of the Lord go in one ear and out the other.
- Surface level listener. We listen but we do not let it transform us.
- Arm chair believer. Listen and reflected but no action.
Think of the Word of God like food: chew, swallow, digest.
We begin to bear fruit, produce that is something good.
After the Mass, visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark.
For lunch, ate at Tenya Tempura Tendon at Glorietta.
Home.

Another Meeting
Today, I would be going to my cousin's house for a meeting. This is more to discuss the performance of my other cousin's work for the Family Corporation aside from this cousin's displeasing chat message with my cousin.
After the meeting, passed by Glorietta where I had meryenda Butter Manila. Visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark.
Home.

Board Meeting
Today is the Board Meeting of our Family Corporation to decide whether to sell or not a property. It will be held at my cousin's house at Paranaque. Wore my Rado Captain Cook Automatic.
Disappointed. Decision is to sell. Tsk! Tsk!
Passed by Glorietta before proceeding home.
