Hello.
I picked up some kaimito (star apple), saba, and langka (jackfruit) from my go-to fruit stall this morning.
I love kaimito so much, I'm just soooo happy that it's still in season!
Today I met up with old friends for lunch and some galavanting at an outdoor art exhibit. I have known these friends for around seven years now. We all met at work, but even after leaving that job, our group remained oh so tight.
I remember hiking Mt. Pulag with them just four months before the pandemic lockdown. To reach jump-off, we rode a jeepney—top load! It was a rainy and muddy hike, I even sprained my ankle during descent. During our bus ride back to Manila, I could no longer wear my left shoe (or was it the right one?) because my foot was so swollen lol.
Who could have ever thought that the world would drastically change soon after? Life is strange like that.
A month later, we all went to the beach on a whim haha. And exactly one month before lockdown, I brought them to my hometown for yet another beach trip. Good times.
It's such a privilege to witness your friends grow and change throughout the years.
After around 6,000 steps (lol), we went to my place for some tea, coffee, dessert, and good ol' catching up. I told them to pick out some records to play. Today's vinyl playlist included: The Carpenters, Louise Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Hibari Misora, and Pilita Corales.
After sundown, we said our goodbyes and I was off to meet another friend group at the park. They also went to see the outdoor art exhibit.
I got this lovely mug from one of the stalls. It's made by Tessy and Jon Pettyjohn, pioneers of contemporary Philippine ceramics. It's my second piece from them, following a teapot I got during last year's PH Design Week.
After dinner, the artist in our group asked each of us to draw something on a small piece of paper. I really liked P's ornate fish:
