got up early at 6:00 AM today as the three of us (me, my sister and nephew AJ), planned to go to Wacker's Badminton Court in Paranaque. the place was an abandoned warehouse converted into a badminton court. a trend that's currently in practice at Manila eversince manufacturing companies relocate into nearby provinces. with it, respective warehouses transfers as well where it could be strategically beneficial for the business.

since it is a weekday, fee was at P55 per head for unlimited hours of play. there were 6 courts in placed. for this day, there were ony three groups who played (which already includes us). we only got to play for 2 hours, suko!!! haha! we were able to gulp up perhaps a liter of water each! quite exhausting and invigorating! probably, one of the things i will surely miss when i get back to UAE.

after the play, we went to Sucat to see the church inside Posadas Village, the Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal National Shrine. the church is situated on an elevated ground. quite a dramatic effect in my opinion and i love it! it also has a tall tower-like cross, as if it wants to extend to heavens.

the building is cylindrical, not too big and yet not too small. it is simply, perfect! the pews were arranged in semi-circular manner in order for all church goers to face the altar at about 180 degrees angle of view.

the church roof is white in color and looks like a huge enveloping tent. the altar is so spacious and the air inside the church is just so fresh despite being so close to the main road.

anyhow, when marvin and i finally get to have our church wedding (hoping nothing unexpected incident happens before that), this church tops among my list of choices (after letting go of Nature Church and my Fernwood dream, sigh). just as so, this church has a homey feel and peaceful aura. so simple and yet so grand at the same time. =)
