Pares, Prayer, and Paws

Sometimes, I have simple food cravings that just won’t go away. An example of this would be my craving for beef pares. Yesterday, I simply had to have pares, so I went to a place that serves the dish in Quezon City. 

I was greeted with a rack of condiments. This was a good sign!

I was served delicious beef pares, which is was garlicky and a bit spicy. It was heavenly.

I then proceeded to The Feast at Trinoma, where I was a first-time attendee. I wanted to have a Catholic worship group that I could be a part of whenever my schedule permits. Luckily, The Feast now has a Sunday session from 9:30-11:30am at the mall’s Cinema 3 theater.

I had sizzling Salisbury steak with egg for lunch. It was another simple craving satisfied!

After my hearty lunch, I went to Barkin’ Blends Dog Cafe to have coffee with my fluffy friends.

I was able to satisfy my simple cravings, nourish my soul, and spend time with dogs on a Sunday. Indeed, there are fulfilling ways to spend the weekend without spending too much. All it takes is the determination to live a meaningful life.
