The Holy Trinity at the ceiling of one of the churches we visited lighting a candle for Jesus to grant her prayers the newly renovated Immaculate Concepcion Parish...where I had my first communion in this church when i was in 2nd grade
tucked away in the hills of Antipolo is one retired interior designer's dream come true. The matriarch has a knack for theme houses so in her family's sprawling compound, there is an Apple house, a Moo house and a Vegetable house where decoration themes are strictly followed ...this is the porch of the Sunflower House where everything inside is bursting with sunflowers =)

April 8-11. Had 4 days off from work to spend with family... Aside from attending mass every single day, we also made the rounds in 7 different churches for the tradional Visita Iglesia. My favorite was our stopover at Quiapo church where there were just so many activities. Too bad we only stayed for a while so I couldn't take as much pictures as I wanted.

flowers in our garden are in full bloom
