MMSM - Coffee and Sweets

I have noticed that I rambled on and on in my previous posts, so for now I am going to write a short introduction and then let the pictures (and the short captions) speak for themselves. Ü

I like this day. Aside from it being my weekend (to the uninitiated, my rest days are Tuesdays and Wednesdays), I love how it was oh-so-easy-breezy at work today. 

Dane returned from his vacation in Bicol last Thursday morning (we also saw each other that day but that deserves another blog entry). The famous perfect cone-shaped Mayon Volcano is located in that beautiful province. In our country, Bicol is also synonymous to pili nuts and a trip there will not be complete without trying them. (Backstory: my maternal grandparents are also from Bicol so I am a certified Bicolana even though I have been there just once.) Maybe that is why I like pili-smothered anything? But then again you don't have to hail from Bicol to like these sweets, they are really delicioso!

Today he gave me the goodies he bought for me :)

A bar of Mazapan de Pili, pili cakes, honey flavored crispy pili nuts,

and lots and lots of pili tarts

My friend/ officemate Sasha also came from Hong Kong and she gave me this:

Mocca Kocke wafers

You are both so thoughtful, thank you very much! :)

I missed being Dane's lunchmate the whole week he was away, so today we ate at KFC and had a special treat via Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.

this is what I wore today

I love the scarecrows in my skirt, very unique!

black lucite heart necklace

new shoes

I  haven't worn wedges in a long, long time

I also curled my hair a bit today :)

Sweets from sweet friends, quality time with Dane and coffee heaven-in-a-cup, unique skirt, funky necklace, pretty shoes, curls. I cannot decide which made me smile the most.

I hope you'll have a fabulous and smile-filled week ahead! Ü
