🤍 The Last Pages of May
May 28, 2027 Today was another catch-up day with my friend. 😂 I visited my friend in BGC today because she'll be moving to another company soon. She has been really stressed at work lately, so we decided to meet up and spend some time together. I went straight there after work. It was raining, but thankfully it wasn't too heavy by the time I arrived. We went to Mitsukoshi Mall and had a Japanese dinner. I also told her that I was craving matcha, and luckily we found Warabimochi Kamakura. Although their drinks are quite expensive—the small size costs around ₱260—they were actually worth it because the drinks were delicious.
We spent hours chatting and catching up. I also stayed overnight at her place. Later, we bought Melona ice cream from a Korean grocery store. I chose the taro flavor because it's currently a popular flavor in Korea.
I also brought some bread with me. There's a cheese bread from Casa Elmira that I really love. Sadly, it has become more expensive because of inflation. A pack used to cost ₱90, but now it's ₱120. Still, I think it's worth every peso because it tastes so good.
We were actually planning to visit Fusion Alley in Manila, but we ended up canceling because of the rain. There are a lot of street food vendors there, and it's been getting popular on social media lately. I've been wanting to try it for a while now, so hopefully next time.
I truly hope that this new chapter in my friend's career brings her more happiness and less stress. She even told me, "I'll let you know if my new company is good because I might convince you to transfer there too." 😂 Her new job is work-from-home, which sounds amazing, so I'm hoping everything works out well for her.
I also went home early because I needed to accompany my mom the next morning to buy clothes for a wedding she'll be attending this June. My sister also treated us to Lola Nena's Toasted Siopao, and we bought some drinks and pancit as well. It was such a hot day, so the cold drinks were definitely appreciated.
This month is ending soon. Although I didn't have many exciting adventures and spent most of my time busy and stressed from work, I'm still grateful for the small moments that allowed me to slow down and reconnect with the people I care about.
Hopefully, after this month, the next pages of my life will be brighter and filled with better memories. See you again soon. 🤍
