Faith and Fitness

Yesterday, I started my day with another workout at 6am.

I finally got the hang of waking up at 5am, so I can say that I have already adjusted to my plan to become a morning person.

I ate breakfast again at Tropical Hut, and I had their corned beef breakfast meal.

For lunch, I had the Salisbury steak with egg at Steak Break.

Then, it was time for my thanksgiving church tour! A favor which I have been praying for has recently been granted. For my first stop, I dropped by St. Joseph’s Shrine at Anonas, Quezon City.

Their giant statue of the sleeping St. Joseph always reminds me to stop worrying and lift it all up to God.

Next, I offered eggs at St. Clare Monastery.

I was able to spot my lucky number, 13! I queued at that platform number, because while I believe in God, I also think that creating my own luck is important. This blog has been an opportunity that I have created for myself. All the events, conferences, and offers which I have attended and received were because of my blog, and that is why I think that luck is merely claiming the chances which I have allowed to happen.

Then, I visited the National Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus.

I viewed their collection of reliquaries.

And for last stop, I went to the Our Lady of Montserrat Abbey.

It is overwhelmingly beautiful.

For dinner, I had the limited edition herb and bacon pizza from S&R.

I enjoyed working out, eating well, sketching my food, and touring churches! I hope that I will continue to create more opportunities for myself in the coming days. For now, allow me to carry on with mindful living as I ease my way into the daily grind.
