Test

It is Theo, the dog, grooming day.  Will also join him for I would be accompanying Lyn for her medical lab tests.  We were dropped off at Hi-Precision Diagnostics Plus.  After paying, left Lyn and proceeded to Glorietta while Edgar, the driver, brings Theo to Pet Express.

Checked Mercury Drug at The Link hoping that Optive Standard is already available.  Nope.

Visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark and lunch at Chuck's Steaks and Chops at The Landmark Food Center.

Avanza Preventive Maintenance

Already have an appointment for my Toyota Avanza's preventive maintenance at 10 AM for today.  Edgar, the driver, already brought the car yesterday at Toyota Mall of Asia.  Left really late that I arrived around 11 AM.  Actually, the car has been serviced and is already for pick-up.  Paid and left.  Edgar would be back later to pick-up the car.

Proceeded to The Landmark supermarket to buy our groceries.  After paying, left Edgar to bring home our purchases.

Visited the Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel, lunch at Racks, and withdrew at BPI.  Then, proceeded to Sto. Nino de Paz Greenbelt Chapel.


Prayed the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Rosary with the community before the (anticipated) Mass.

The Mass presider is Fr. Dave.

Anything you do for God, it will be rewarded.

The house of the parents is also the house of their children. But not all houses of their children is a house of their parents (not welcomed).  The money of parents is also money of children (spend for their children); but money of children is not a money of their parents.

After the Mass, I proceeded to Yakiniku Like where had dinner with my nieces and the boyfriend of one of them.  Then went to The Landmark Food Center to buy Poppy's and The Lasagna Manila to-go for my nieces.

Dropped my niece and her boyfriend at the bus terminal then went home.

Friday Mass

 I would be attending the Friday noon Mass at the Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel.  Left with my Tudor Black Bay 54 on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right.

Left later than usual.  Good thing, the prayers before the Mass has not started.  Was able to join the community to pray the Rosary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus prayer.

The Mass presider is Fr. Marthy.

Today is the Memorial of Saint Jose Maria Escriva.

Upon waking up, what is your heart's desire?  You will put all your energies to what you desire.

"May you seek Christ, may you find Christ, may you love Christ." Seek Christ. Live in Christ. Love Christ (St. Jose Maria Escriva)

May my life be a life of gratitude.  To show gratitude, follow God's desire.

Even ordinary lives can be a path to holiness. (St. Jose Maria Escriva)

After, I visited the Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark.  For lunch, went to Tenya Tempura Tendon.

Meeting

Today will be a meeting with Bank representatives to present their proposal or suite of products for the family corporations.  The meeting is at my cousin's house.  I was late for a few minutes.  When I arrived, my cousin was already in a meeting with them.  Joined them with my other cousin.

After, I dropped them off at their office.  Also passed by our Pasay property to inquire if anyone received a registered email for our corporation.  

Of course, before going home, passed by Glorietta.

First stop is at Healthy Options.  


For lunch, I ate at Max's Restaurant.  Visited the Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark  and bought some items at their supermarket.

Blooper

I received a reminder from Ziebart for the servicing of my Honda HR-V. Thus, I scheduled the servicing of my cars as follows:
June 13, HR-V preventive maintenance 
June 20, HR-V rustproofing and interior detailing 
June 27, Avanza preventive maintenance 

Edgar, the driver, brought the HR-V earlier so it can be serviced already. I received the SMS from Ziebart and gave my approval.

On the way, saw that servicing was not started because it is still in-front of the shop. Good thing they didn’t. The senior personnel instructed not to start yet even I gave my “go” signal because based on their records my HR-V is scheduled for December yet. As I was about to pay, asked several questions. That’s when it is clarified that my Avanza is scheduled for mid-year and my HR-V for end of the year.

Left and was dropped off at Glorietta. Have my lunch at Yakiniku Like!, dessert at Red Mango which I brought it at 4th floor of Glorietta 4 where tables and chairs are available.  This is where I enjoyed the dessert and started this blog.

Visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark.  Then, I walked my way to Sto. Nino de Paz Greenbelt Chapel.  I was able to finish my Precious Blood of Jesus chaplet devotion, and joined the community to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Rosary.

The anticipated Mass presider is Fr. Benny.

The Gospel, in summary, God loves us so much that if you are faithful to Him we have nothing to fear.

The love of God must be appreciated by us.

What we have to fear most is that we will lose God, that we will be separated from Him.

After the Mass, I proceeded to Kaya to buy food-to-go.  While the food is being prepared, I strolled where I was able to buy a bag from Straightforward and raisin bread from Baguio Country Club.

Picked the food and proceeded home.

N.B.  These are the photos I took using the instant camera Kodak Mini Shot 2 Retro today.

Friday Mass

I will be attending the Friday noon Mass at Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel.  Woke up late.  Left late.  

On the way, finished my morning prayers.  I was able to pray the Precious Blood of Jesus chaplet, and joined the community to pray the Rosary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus prayer.

The Mass presider is Fr. Ryan.

What do you truly consider your treasure in life?  We are easily captivated by world;y wealth--success is measured by wealth, power or fame.

Our faith teaches us there is no inherent sin possessing material things.  Unless they are acquired honestly, kept in moderation, used for noble purposes.  

When a person becomes obsessed with worldly things and worldly status, a tragic transformation takes place. The pursuit of comfort and prestige slowly eclipses the pursuit of goodness and of God.  When we fall into temptation, when we spend too much on acquiring wealth, we become cheaters, opportunists, greedy and thieves.

After, I visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark.  For (late) lunch, went to Gran Moshi Cafe at OneAyala.

Home.

My tooth got chipped when I was flossing it Monday night.  I think what came off is the tooth filling.  Made an appointment with my dentist for 10 AM today.
