Random Thoughts

Our fourth day started very early. We woke up around 6:30AM to prepare for mass at the Monastery of the Transfiguration. Bukidnon is actually known for this church. We were friends with the monks here ever since I was a kid so we won't miss hearing mass here every time we visit.

I just love hearing mass at the Monastery. Mass is so solemn probably because that it was built on top of the hill. You cannot hear anything except for the sound of the birds and the wind. Very relaxing.

I was also glad that the Mass was celebrated in English. We didn't plan on bringing Alex because it was way to early for her, but she woke up early too! Maybe because she knew that it was her birthday and she needed to go to mass. LOL! She got bored in the middle of the mass so we had to take her out just to avoid distracting the people there. I didn't want the Priest to be distracted either. Anyway, right after mass we made sure that we took some photos...

Alex was so in the mood! LOL!


If you happen to be in Bukidnon, don't ever miss hearing mass at the Monastery. They only have one mass every Sunday and it's around 8 in the morning.

Now, for the highlight of our trip - Alex's 2nd birthday party! It started around 3PM and all I can say is that it was a blast! :) For more stories check out the following...
