Once again, Nuestra Señora de Gracia Church or NSDG hits the limelight as ABS-CBN's Christmas 2006 Station ID was shot in this historic church. See the network's glittering stars assemble in NSDG. Watching it made me teary-eyed... I haven't visited the church since the wedding.

we were pencil-booked at NSDG last week and today ends our "reservation." we have to either confirm or give it up.

we went to two more churches today, parish of the holy sacrifice (the one inside UP campus) and sta. maria dela strada (the one in katipunan near cp garcia). as expected, UP chapel is budget-friendly. since it is circular, the aisle is too short. it's nice and solemn, but the fact that i just drop by that chapel anytime (to sit down, to think, to pray, to wait) made me think twice about making it my wedding place (weird?). i guess after church-hopping last week, i just found it too simple.
