The Easter celebration has past and life is back to the same biting reality. This is only my 2nd day back in the office and I already feel sooo tired. I’m guessing it has something to do with my recurring headache. Not sure if it’s because I’m just PMS-ing or the heat (they said tomorrow will be the hottest day ever!) or something else.
Before I ramble on senseless, here are some photos from our annual Visita Iglesia. This year we went to see the churches in Tagaytay/ Batangas. Actually, we could have finished 7 churches in Tagaytay pa lang but since we really wanted to go to Taal, we only did 3 in Tagaytay –
 |
| Franciscan Monastery |
 |
| Our Lady of Lourdes Parish |
 |
| Parish of Monte Maria |
We had to stop in Tagaytay as it’s already past 3PM and we haven’t had lunch. We had lunch in our fave cheap but yummy resto – Bulalo Point. And again, it didn’t disappoint! We had a blast!

After lunch, we’re off to Lemery
 |
| San Roque Parish |
then to the town of Taal –
 |
| Our Lady of Caysasay Parish |
 |
| St. Martin de Tours Parish |
And to our last stop – Lipa!
 |
| San Sebastian Cathedral |
It was a 12- hour trip but well worth it. I realized that yes, it was a religious exercise but it’s much more than that. It was a chance to bond with family, discover new places (and cultures), have fun and renew your faith. While you travel, you get to know new things and re-discover old ones. While you read/ recite the Stations of the Cross, you also re-live Jesus’ life and relatethe same to your own life. And through this reflection, you realize your shortcomings and vow to improve on your life.
It was indeed a Holy Week!
