Hooking, Burning, and Yearning

I started my day by crocheting while waiting for my workout to start. 

Then, I satisfied my craving for cheap pares by having it for breakfast.  

I continued hooking while having cofeenut.  

I later rode the BGC bus (which was efficient and comfortable) to Net Park.  

I took a few selfies  (using self-timer!) at the lobby. I was wearing a scarf that I quickly knitted using chunky yarn and 10mm needles from Dreams Yarnshoppe. 

Then, I proceeded to Manila House...

...for the Katutubo Pop-Up Market!  I bought a woodland garland for my mom from Knitting Expedition, one of my favorite social enterprises. Their stuffed animals and home trimmings were handknit in Ifugao. I also joined their Knitting Adventure at Banaue last February!

I caught up with some of my mom’s friends from the fashion industry (she used to be a ramp model).

I also saw Candy Reyes, Knitting Expedition’s girl boss and master knitter! 

I also looked around the fair. Everything was beautiful. I saw this wallpaper in the premises, and I loved it because it was somewhat related to my crocheting and knitting. 

I sat down for a cuppa. 

And I transferred to Fully Booked to enjoy their sale.

I wrapped up my Sunday with a visit to the PAWS Pet Cafe. My favorite shelter dog Ruff was there! If you want to adopt him, please contact PAWS!

I also saw other PAWS dogs in the cafe.  

I ordered my favorite tapa from The Craft Central Cafe. 

I had a productive Sunday! I worked out, crocheted, and supported my favorite advocacies. The way I see it, is that I get to hope and yearn for a brighter future for myself by sharing my blessings with social enterprises and causes I believe in. I am claiming that more blessings will pour into my life in the coming days, weeks, and months! 

PAWS Pet Cafe Sunday

Yesterday, I got to spend another afternoon with dogs at the the PAWS Pet Cafe, a pop-up fundraising event at Vertis North. Donations are welcome in cash and in kind! For every P200 donation, you will be able to spend forty-five minutes with PAWS Doctor Dogs, who are trained to be sociable around fellow animals and humans alike. In fact, these Doctor Docs visit hospitals and schools to provide cheer and happy vibes. 

I was able to spend time with Storm... 

...and Bailey, who thinks that he’s a lapdog!  

While the Doctor Dogs are not adoptable as they already have furever homes, PAWS still has animals in ther shelter who are in need of foster or furever homes. Please consider adopting, fostering, donating, or volunteering! There is definitely a way that you could help the dogs and cats at the PAWS shelter.  

The PAWS Pet Cafe will run from Fridays to Sundays, 1-9PM, all weekends of June and July! Please consider donating and spending your precious time with their doctor dogs. Better yet, I hope that you will also adopt a pet instead of buying one from a breeder.  

Have a great week ahead, everyone!
