Metal and Beer

Yesterday, I spent my Sunday enjoying some simple joys. These include:

I bought a new stainless horseshoe for my rook! I like how it brings edge to my overall look.

I enjoyed the Ayala Triangle Gardens light show. It reminded me that Christmas is all about feeling grateful and remembering all the good memories of holidays past.

Lastly, I had a cold one with Santa Claus at Mercato.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Friendship on Target

Yesterday, I was able to spend time with my high school friends. We held our annual Christmas gathering on Bonifacio Day because it was the only time that most of us were free. 

I got ready by wearing bright red lipstick.

Our first stop was Arrowland, an archery range inside the mall. Here I am with Kai after she gave me her Christmas gift.

Then, we had snacks at Vampire Penguin, where I had this cheese and hotdog puff.

I also had a cuppa to go with my waffle.

We got to exchange gifts while eating merienda.

We ended the night by visiting Luti’s condo nearby and a group chat with those who weren’t able to physically join us.

These friends have become my family through the years. I am grateful that we all meet annually, and that we still keep in touch. I hope to have more memories with these girls in the years to come!

Licks and Lights

Yesterday, I had fun with the furry dogs of Barkin’ Blends Dog Cafe.

But first, I ate their Bonnie Burger for lunch. So good!

I placed my Knitting Expedition Tiyargo bag inside their locker and I was pleasantly surprised that it fits inside!

I got to cuddle Ella and the other furry buddies at the cafe.

Before going home, I was able to catch the Christmas light show at Vertis North. It reminded me of the Parade of Lights at Disneyland!

I had a lovely day with some licks from cuddly dogs and ethereal Christmas lights before driving home. I hope to capture more holiday memories this season!
