manila illustration fair 2024
went to manila illustration fair with sam! i haven't seen her in forever! will never stop bringing up the fact that we've been friends since we were in kindergarten!
we met at gyud fud. can't believe i was literally there studying for the bar a year ago! malayo pa pero malayo na or something! i had siam thai vegetarian pad thai while sam had green chicken curry. i also had a melon shake from one of the stalls. i've turned into such a drink girlie lately and probably need to turn it down a notch.
we went to the college of fine arts and got lost for a bit before eventually making it to manila illustration fair 2024. we had rose tea from saglit café and it tastes like what it says it is! their stall was filled with flowers and coffee paraphernalia. added to my list of cafés to visit.
we were definitely impressed by all the artwork. would have bought from all the stalls, if i could! also bumped into so many familiar faces. the kuya from everything's fine, nikki bonuel, tala, and jill! was thinking of yuji the entire time. i miss him! i'm sure he would have loved the pieces.
exhausted from the walking and buying, we went to UPTC for red mango. i had blueberry and fruity pebbles. i kind of miss eating cereal. i know it's sugary and probably bad for me, but i remember eating that everyday until college. i've been wanting to buy lucky charms for a while now, but it's just a bit too expensive right now.
sam watched me at yayoi. chicken namban craving finally satisfied. i accompanied sam to merkato and there's just something so fun about doing errands with your friends. i didn't even need to buy anything but just being with sam was so fun. it takes me back to buying probably too much alcohol and chips and going to someone's house and playing music loud enough to wake everyone. maybe i'm still her and growing up doesn't have to be boring.
