Pink Sisters Convent and Chapel at Tagaytay City

Pink Sisters Convent and Chapel is one of the most visited places in Tagaytay City.  It is a place of peace and serenity that's why many people from the city of Manila visited this place to escape the daily hustle of the concrete jungle. I visited the place last week after I had finished my night shift work and went straight to Pink Sisters Convent (run and managed by the Sisters-Servants of the Holy Spirit of Perpetual Adoration) to offer prayers of thanks and seek forgiveness. Actually this is the first time I visited the place and it seems I had been here before. The place is really peaceful and going inside the chapel is much more serene where you can see a nun wearing pink praying your petitions at the front of the altar. I believe every one hour, an alternate nun will replace another nun to continue praying. What is more ideal for everyone to visit this place is the beautiful gardens, the tall pine trees (which reminds me of Baguio City), the well maintained patios, and the statue of the crucified Jesus Christ. If you are seeking a place of solitude and peace of mind, wherein you can pray and meditate, this is an ideal destination.

Rainy Season

Finally the rainy season had began. Thanks to typhoon Domeng which according to PAG-ASA will unlikely to make landfall but would enhance the monsoon rain, and for dumping rains all over Metro Manila, Cavite, Batangas, Laguna, and Quezon and most western part of the country. I have been praying all along since last May that rainy season will come soon because of the sweltering and hot summer, to ease our burden from the unbearable heat of  the sun.  Thank God, my prayers are answered. Since last night, the rain continues to pour and I was able to sleep well with the windows of my room opened. Now, I would be able to save my electricity bill without using the AC at night. Thank you rainy season, although there are some disadvantages going outside our house because we will encounter floodings on some streets and being wet with our clothes and shoes. At least, rain will give us comfort for having a cold weather.
