Immaculate Conception Parish Church (Dasmarinas)

This is first time I attended a mass at the Immaculate Conception Parish Church at Dasmarinas City, Cavite.  I had been going every year at Dasmarinas City Hall for the payment of my real property tax and whenever I passed by the church, it is always closed. This year I was lucky enough to attend a Wednesday mass at the church and I'm very grateful for this chance to offer my prayers.

Kamay Ni Jesus and Lucban Church

Last March 20 (Monday), I went to Kamay Ni Hesus Healing Center in Lucban, Quezon Province.  This is my fourth visit to the shrine which is already my yearly vow to travel and offered my prayers and thanks for the blessings I'am receiving, as well as thanksgiving prayer for the successful surgery of my Nanay Lina (my mother). As a side trip, I visited also Lucban Church (also known San Luis Obispo de Tolosa Church).  It is located at La Purisima Concepcion street, Poblacion, Lucban.  The church has a baroque design and has a three story façade.  The church is located a few kilometers from Kamay Ni Hesus Shrine and can be reach through a trike or jeepney (8 pesos rate). I was not able to take photos inside the church because it was already closed.

Side Trip at Hacienda Escudero (Villa Escudero)

We made a side trip at Hacienda Escudero at Tiaong, Quezon Province after we attended the father's burial of my "kumare" from Candelaria, Quezon last March 11. We just drop by at the place to make some photoshoots for souvenir.  We enjoyed the view upon entering the area with it's lush surroundings and greenery.  The place is so relaxing, although we only stayed at the reception hall and souvenir shop of the hacienda, it was worth staying there for a few hours. We are planning to go back again to this place for our summer get together on an overnight stay.

SINTOMAS Art Group Exhibit

Recently, I had made my monthly grocery shopping at SM City Bacoor, Cavite.  I was able to checked the activity center of the mall were the SINTOMAS Group Exhibit showed their latest collection of paintings at SM Malls of Cavite.  The artworks are all beautiful with significant messages about man, nature, and society. Even an ordinary person or viewer can acquire the messages what the paintings are relating for. I hope the SM management would continue this kind of exhibit so that people from all walks of life can appreciate the beauty of paintings and the messages it can teach to every human being.
