Hello everyone!

Hope all are safe and well!

December 12, 2023, turned out to be an eventful day filled with the hustle and bustle of a busy street and the joyous celebration of the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. As I made my way home after work, the city was alive with the vibrant energy of the season.

The journey home was not without its challenges, as traffic slowed my progress. Amidst the congestion, an establishment named Chowking caught my attention with its Christmas lights illuminating the street.

Patience became my ally as I awaited another bus, surrounded by a multitude of people lining up along the road.

Finally boarding a jeepney bound for the barangay hall in Guadalupe.

Upon reaching the barangay hall, I continued my journey on foot towards the church of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The road was teeming with slow-moving vehicles and a sea of people, all heading to the sacred destination.

Arriving at the church, I joined the throngs of devotees offering prayers and lighting candles. The church's interior was already crowded, a testament to the deep faith of those seeking solace and blessings during this significant celebration.

After spending a few reflective moments in the church, a message from my boyfriend redirected my evening plans. We were invited to join friends in celebrating the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The gathering turned into a warm and memorable dinner, complete with shared stories and laughter.

In the midst of the chaotic street and the crowded church, the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe became a tapestry of shared moments, reflections, and unexpected blessings. The journey home, although challenging, transformed into a night filled with the warmth of community and the joy of celebrating a beloved tradition.
