When the heat is on...

Haggardness! The heat is terrible. I decided to wear the most comfortable 

dress I can think of.

Tank top and wide leg pants...

Paired with Asymmetrical Cardigan.

The Drivers!!! They have no choice my driver's license is expired! hahaha! As far as I am concerned, all I need to do is to sleep, walk and took pictures. hahaha!

I love this wall. 

Release your anger through this wall. Shout and Smash!

I wish every establishment in MNL have this kind of wall.. hahaha..

Shrine of the Nuestra Senora de Manaoag

I've been to Shrine of Manaoag so many times but I never blog about it.  Last weekend, we had a quick trip to Manaoag for a visit. 

Many of the Filipino believed that the Shrine is miraculous.

Hundreds flock everyday, lining up for hours just to get slight contact with the famed “miraculous robes”. Her mantle is visible and can be touched only through a small partition, small enough for hands to fit. See mine...

 The Candle Offering. This is the first time I saw the newly renovated Grotto. 

The Blessing Station. They say the Our Lady of Manaoag protects you from danger while traveling. That is why when you purchase a new car, it's a must to bring it here.

Tupig, Patupig, Puto Calasiao and Green Mango are the best seller food you can find outside the church.

 Opss... ;-)
