Loneliness

Feeling low and alone. I hope I can handle everything.

Sto. Padre Pio Shrine - Renovated Church

I visited Padre Pio Shrine at Sto. Tomas, Batangas on the first week of February 2024. To my surprised, the interior of the church was renovated. I found out, it was renovated on 2022. I had noticed also that the prayer lock at the Fountain of Hope (Bukal ng Pag-asa) was already removed. My last visit to the Shrine was on 2019. Sto. Padre Pio Shrine is one of the most visited church in the province of Batangas. Devotees, tourists, and locals flock the shrine  praying for the healing of sick.

BORACAY - Willy's Rock (Grotto) and Beautiful Sunset

During our trip to Boracay, we were able to pass by at the White Beach station 1 were Willy's Rock or Boracay Grotto is  located. You can find the Virgin Mary statue on top of the rock. This is one of Boracay's most visited landmark. Moreover, we captured the beautiful sunset of Boracay and enjoyed the peaceful moment while watching the sunset.

BORACAY Escapades - PUKA BEACH

We spend the second day of our Boracay trip at Puka Beach. The beach is a stretch of white sand. It is less crowded and more peaceful unlike the bustling and busy White Beach. If you want a tranquil and quiet place to relax, Puka beach is best place to stay.
