Fueling Women

Yesterday, I started my day with some toasted longganisa and hot chocolate at Breakfast Bin.

Then, I checked out some exhibitions at the Ayala Museum.

I especially liked their Women and War exhibit.

After running some errands, I got myself some pares and siomai from Kanto Pares. Yum!

As a woman, I prioritize self-care because the most important person in my story is me. Seeing empowering exhibits and eating yummy food are just two ways to fuel myself. Happy International Women’s Day! 

September Coffee with Diane

Yesterday, I managed to wake up and show up to my workout at my local park. I know that I routinely do this, but I was able to appreciate all my efforts to stay fit when I saw the Quezon Memorial in all its glory after a week of rain. 

It was beautiful in the sunlight, and I realized that my fitness routine does not lose its value just because I had to squeeze it in between commitments of late. Effort is effort. And just like this monument, I will remain strong amidst all storms because the sun will shine again anyway.

I had a sinful breakfast of hotdog and eggs because I always eat with abandon before visiting my late best friend.

And so I dropped by Diane’s vault and caught her up with the latest on my life.

I may have had a challenging week but I managed to pull myself together. I worked out and visited my late friend. Strength does not need to be manifested in heroic deeds all the time. Sometimes, it is just a matter of knowing my priorities and looking back on my best friend’s life. I am moving on knowing that Diane’s got my back, albeit on a different scale.
