Good food and good memories at Cafe Janealo, Intramuros
In 2018, we discovered this cafe just beside the Manila Cathedral. We got together there with my family and closest friends to celebrate over lunch Mnemo’s baptism. It’s called Cafe Janealo. And I visited there twice more after the baptism lunch, but since the pandemic lockdown, I think it’s just now that we got to eat there again. We planned to have a picnic in Fort Santiago, but the rain came killing the joy. So we hopped restos instead. A little bit. We had our coffee at Papa Kape inside the Fort Santiago, and for dinner, we checked out the new Cafe Janealo which felt nostalgic lol kala mo katagal…

Craft Academy, located within Ayala Malls Manila Bay, is a one-stop destination for all crafting enthusiasts, kids or adults. They have a wide variety of crafting materials, tools, and workshops to offer that will surely cultivate creativity and inspire you to unleash your ~artsy~ self! And what’s more exciting is you can actually access their spot for FREE! Of course, other activities and materials will require an add-on or you will have to purchase. Last time, we spent almost an hour, enjoyed peace while my kid was playing among other kids, I had a chance to shoot some balls (lol) and had some cute Insta photos without paying for anything.…

Coffee and chill at Papa Kape, Fort Santiago, Manila
The City of Manila is one of our go-to places and if my family and I feel like picnic-ing, we go to the famous Intramuros. It was a very sunny day in Pasay and we thought let’s go have a picnic and enjoy the sunny/windy feels in Manila. Twelve kilometers after, the rain came and we never had the chance to sit on the grass and enjoy a cup of coffee or whatever. Good thing is, as we walked along Fort Santiago we saw this new coffee shop which apparently just opened first quarter of this year. The ground was still wet, but at least we found a home at…

First visit to the #BigBadWolf2023
Here’s a confession: being a self-proclaimed book worm (or book dragon, whatever) it is my very first time visiting the Big Bad Wolf. Not because I was not aware, but because I did have enough budget for a book haul, cos why would you go to a book fest just to crave for something you cannot have? I used to hate hurting myself lol but hey, welcome to the adult life, self. This year I was able to put some money to “hobby” of collecting books I do not know when I would read. And I plan to visit more than once. I was a bit sad I wasn’t able…
