MV Doulos 1

I asked hubby Mike to accompany me yesterday. I really wanted to go there. My husband is hesistant. But, I’m thankful that he granted my request. Anyway, off we went to Roxas Boulevard. MV Doulas is docked at Pier 18. To go there, take the Roxas Boulevard, you will pass by the Rizal Monument. Until, you see the sign that says South Harbor then make a left turn.

MV Doulos 2

We went there yesterday, after attending a birthday party of my HS friend’s son. Upon reaching South Harbor, there’s a lot of cars. But, thankfully we were able to park easily. However, there as a very very long line. It took as an hour and half before we were able to board the ship. By the way, there’s an entrance fee of Php10.00 but children below 16 years old are free.

Aboard MV Doulos, the atmosphere is humid. There’s a lot of people browsing books. So, it’s quite crowded. So far, I’ve seen a lot of business books, religious books, children books, cookbooks and references. Prices according to some are cheaper compared to our Local Bookstore. Books are price tagged as units. And it’s Php100 per 100units. So, that’s Php1 per 1 unit.

Stations of the Cross at Lourdes Grotto

Posted on April 15th, 2006 in Travel by Abby

Every Good Friday, my family visits the Our Lourdes Grotto at San Jose Bulacan to do the stations of the cross. The grotto has life size images depicting the 14 stations.

To get there: along SM Fairview, you will see signs pointing to San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan. Just follow the road, you will reach the boundary of Novaliches and San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan. A few meters from that point you will see Jollibee and Greenwich at your right side. Turn right to the road in between Jollibee and Greenwich. Straight ahead is the Grotto.

Stations of the cross has been modified several times. But nevertheless, it’s a devotion that allows devotees to reflect about their life. For each station, you will recite a bible passage and a silent prayer.
