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.
And here’s all of us before our fun archery time.
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 had more food afterwards, such as Cookies by the Bucket...
...oyakodon at Japan Fudo Street...
...and truffle fries from Potato Corner! Plus, I had an Okinawa milk tea with pearls and pudding from Serenitea.
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!
