Yesterday, I had lunch with my high school friends Luti and Rozzanne at Galleria. We discussed our upcoming Christmas get-together, among other plans.
Then, Luti and I went to UP for some merienda at Chocolate Kiss. I had the sour cream cheesecake and brewed coffee. It was a delicious combo.
We later went around the campus for some brisk walking, and I took some random snaps.
Thursday with friends is always a good idea!
I spent the weekend at my best friend Luti’s condo. Our friend Amabelle was in town (she’s based in Batangas), so we watched Netflix while catching up.
Luti’s condo is right in the middle of the city. It’s also near a couple of malls that I frequent.
The sunrise looks pretty from her window.
We did some brisk walking early Sunday morning.
I also bumped into my friend from Human Nature, Cindy.
We had breakfast at UP’s local resto, Chocolate Kiss.
Their tsokolate (hot chocolate) was delicious.
So was this longganisa brekkie plate.
We ordered cakes in honor of our late friend Diane’s birth anniversary.
It was also a pleasant surprise to see the photo I submitted to Manila bulletin get published.
I needed a cuppa after our heavy meal, so I got myself an iced latte from Nomu.
It’s a well-balanced cuppa! I highly recommend it.
Back in the condo, I was even able to do some crocheting.
Later during the day, we went to the mall and I donated this Project Aral kit with slippers. It has become my tradition to donate kits every year. Hahahahaha
I had yummy burger steak from Bigger Better Burgers.
I managed to find a pretty floor.
And I witnessed a beautiful sunset.
I had quite a lovely weekend. Thank you Luti!
Yesterday, my friend Luti and I remembered our high school Diane. She would have been thirty-one.
We went to UP Town Center for a food coma worthy of our late friend. She was a foodie as well, so we planned on eating nothing but the best.
First stop was local favorite The Chocolate Kiss.
Luti had the taco salad, while I had chicken satay with nasi goreng. Both of our orders were delicious!
We stopped by Biblio, a secondhand bookshop for good measure. Diane loved to read.
I bought a bamboo toothbrush holder for my toothbrush made of the same material. I also got a pack of world map postcards. I was able to score free Sagada coffee with my purchases.
Diane would have loved this bookstore, as well as their local coffee.
Next, we went to Waffable by Rustic Mornings. I got an apple crumble waffle. It was amazing!
Later during the day, we had an early dinner of hotdog and mac n’ cheese at Starr’s.
Then, we returned to The Chocolate Kiss for cake slices in honor of our birthday girl.
Luti chose the devil’s food cake, while I had my favorite, dayap chiffon!
Happy birthday Diane!
Lastly, we passed by Diane’s final resting place.
We all miss our friend.
We hope that shes in a better place now.
And someday, we will see her again.
We hope that Diane likes our simple tribute to her in the form of yummy mains and cakes. It was a food coma to remember, and a celebration that we look forward to observing again next year.
I hope that you will also make time for your late loved ones, and continue praying for their eternal repose. They are our guardian angels. Let us never forget them.
