Cat Creates: Church Hopping this Maundy Thursday

Since most of my Holy Week trips got cancelled because of some unavoidable mishaps, I had no choice but to spend time at home. Talk about sacrifice...hum, hum..Anyway being the "gala" person, I persuaded my sister, Kris, to go Church Hopping with me. This is the first time that she'll do Visita Iglesia so she's a bit excited. I was not sure at first if she'll survive the "walking" (and I'll survive her "complains") but I'm really glad that she did =)

Visita Iglesia is a spanish term which means "church visit." Traditionally, one has to visit 14 churches to represent the 14 Stations of the Cross. Since Kris and I don't know our way around Manila, we decided to visit 7 churches instead, reciting 2 Stations in each church.

Barely 30 steps from my lolo's house...Kris is already thirsty. She made a stop in the Sari-Sari store to buy Fit and Right. In fairness, healthy drink. Wahaha!

First stop: Malate Catholic Church (Malate Manila)

Kris walking along Mabini Street on our way to our 2nd church. But!!!! She made another stop...

...to buy...

Second Stop: Ermita Church (Ermita)

This is unbelievable!!!! Kris made another stop in one of the stores along Luneta!!! Hahaha!

But she wasn't able to buy what she wants because according to her "ang bagal ng tindera! mot-mot yun!" I wonder what "mot-mot" means?! =)

She bought mango instead...

Third Stop: San Agustin (Intramuros). It wasn't a pleasant walk going to this church. It was really dark. I hate walking in dark alleys.

Fourth Stop: Manila Cathedral (Intramuros)

Next buy: MAIS!!!! Hahahahaha! My sister's appetite is the BEST!

Unfortunately, this Mais fell on the ground on our way to Sta. Cruz Church. Kris was close to tears. Boo Hoo...

Fifth Stop: Sta. Cruz Church (Sta. Cruz)
