Adoration Chapel of the Pink Sisters

A trip to Tagaytay is not complete without visiting the Adoration Chapel of the Pink Sisters. My family and I would always pass by the chapel to hear mass or just to pray for a few minutes. I always believe in the power of prayers. Whenever I have a problem or I need something, I always turn to either the Pink Sisters (Tagaytay or New Manila) or the Sisters of St Claire Monastery (Katipunan) and ask them to pray for me.

As a testimony of the power of prayers, I remember when I was in high school, I went to St Claire and wrote down three wishes (which at that time were impossible to happen). I recited St Claire's novena. I even asked for the prayer assistance of the St Claire sisters and my wishes were granted eventually. My prayers were not answered immediately all at the same time. There were interval of months. I actually forgot about the list that I gave to the sisters. But one day, while visiting the monastery, I suddenly remembered and realized that all my prayers were answered. From then on, I've always believed in asking the sisters for prayer assistance.

Sunday in Tagaytay

My family and I went to Tagaytay City yesterday to unwind and see the Taal Volcano Island. It turned out to be a rainy and foggy Sunday in Tagaytay so there wasn't much to see. Anyway, at least my family spent quality time together again.

We had lunch at Taalena Bar and Restaurant.(which will always do..for us, it's just either a toss up between Taalena and Josephine Restaurant) Since it's at the Tagaytay ridge, it has a nice view of the Taal Lake and Volcano on sunny days.

Food here is similar to the Filipino food served at Dencio's and Gerry's Grill. I also noticed that the prices are a little bit higher now. (One dish is usually priced between P200+ to 300+)


These are the clearer shots I managed to get at the balcony of Taalena Restaurant. There were even occasions of zero visibility. It made me feel like I was in Baguio City.
