Embracing Myself

Yesterday, I began my day with some word search and a cuppa.

Then, I got my mom a birthday cake for her 60th year.

I chose Remilly’s yema cake, which was my late dad’s favorite.

Then, my mom and I went with my Ninong Oscar to MIBF. I got myself a copy of Walk Manila, which was produced by FEU. I was ecstatic to find this, as I enjoy commuting and walking around Manila.

Then, we attended the book launch of our family friend Fr. Phil Estrella. He released his book Embracing the Thorns of Our Hearts last night to a crowd of his friends and followers. It was a fun celebration of life and friendship.

Of course, my MIBF experience wouldn’t be the same without the sumptuous food. I had a bahn mi and macaroni, which were both delicious.

I ended my MIBF visit with a Star Wars crochet book.

I cannot really embrace myself, so best path to self-love is through books, food, coffee, and friends. I am well-stocked with all those, and I am truly fortunate.
