patent saturday night
usual saturday; after my workout at trinoma, tere and i headed to north edsa to have our spa. had our body scrub and whole body massages. it has been my saturday destressing ritual, to have someone rub glorified crushed coffee beans all over my body, followed by an invigorating, body breaking deep tissue massage. hard massage to soothe my aching muscles from that really heavy p.t. sessions with trainor. on our way out, i met dats who’s just got to the gym for his workout. we shook hands as i am poofed from my workout and massage. to perk me up, i went down stairs and saw a gorgeous red patent leather boots. 
i couldn’t resist. the smell of leather, the shiny, glossy finish of patent leather, the heaviness of the non-slip grip sole. must-keep-plastic-in-wristlet. too late; my credit card swiping hand got hold of visa before my goody-goody hand secured it. hay, a heavy shopping bag in tow… i have a new obsession with dr marten boots. i recently purchased a cherry red dr marten 2 weeks ago. but the sight of patent leather really convinced me to buy it. pick your choice.
cherry red? patent red?

met with richard and jake after and headed to morato for dinner. amici opened a branch along morato. it’s the same amici in don bosco makati. they still have their signature gelato and pasta dishes. we ordered pesto linguine, chicken arabiata and quatro formaggio pizza. though the servings were good for two, we were able to finish it, all of it. talk about hunger. blame the workout, ever since i got back in the gym, my appetite doubled. strolling along morato after dinner, we were trying to figure out were to have dessert. we ended having coffee at starbucks over a warm, moist chocolate cake bought at fleur de lys. the ganache chocolate cake with strawberry really hit the spot, complementing the sour, bitter taste of african coffee. really, it was the longest cup of coffee conversation we ever had. it was fun though, coffee conversations for me is the best way you can know a person. and even though you’ve known them for quite a while, you’ll still discover little things that makes them even more amazing. richard was craving for mediterranean so we drove all over the metro to find prince kebab for a stuffing chyma, shawarma and lamb kebab. so stuffed. so full…
