Acan’t Forget

It’s the little things

You know how they always say the best moments happen when unplanned? I was just reminded by Timehop one of those awesome times.

Rewind to 1 year ago…

As we were starting to build our home together, one of the things that excite us is furniture shopping. We had just invested in a new set of sofa and our living room was slowly but surely coming to life and was just missing a centre table to match.

We didn’t want to spend a fortune over a new one so we went to Facebook marketplace for some secondhand items. I then found the Ikea table I was looking for for only 10 quid (versus the brand new price of 60); checked the map which wasn’t too far off, messaged the seller and immediately closed the deal. That same day, we scheduled to pick up the item and as it turns out, the actual address was not where we expected. It was far off and the roads felt like it was leading us to nowhere. I was starting to regret driving (well technically I wasn’t driving lol) all the way to their place but we then found the house and got the item; the family were just so nice and the table was like brand new so I guess it was a good deal after all. Before heading back, we also noticed that it was unusually sandy around plus there were loads of caravan around so we thought of checking where we actually were on the map which looked like a shore line. Went to drive nearer to what looked like water and lo and behold, we found this beaut.

St. Lawrence Bay

Cool winds. Relaxing sound of the rippling water. Sunset. Orange hues. Talking and laughing about random things. Everything was just perfect. The moment was just perfect. It’s moments like these that makes you just appreciate the little things that makes life worthwhile you know? And it’s these little things that make my heart so happy. :)

Diversion


After a really stressful week of crying due to my world emotera week and lurking in my bedroom, I finally saw some light a.k.a sunshine! And what better way to destress than Food and Sightseeing right?

First good news for me this week, I finally got my new toy. So, since it’s a day out, might as well enjoy playing with it.

Testing.. Testing!

Kunwari paartistic! Picturan ang heart shaped condiments sabay hashtag: walang forever!
Plawer plawer na may pa-dew effect


Sige, halugubin ang mga paandar sa balur!


Basta ang alam ko, gusto ko yung nakuha ang mga ukit ng palad ko dito. 100% no edit and filter itey!


Ang pang geography class ko sa kwarto at ang peg sa lafangan festival today!
Todays 1st agenda: FOOD!
We decided to finally step foot at Earl’s Court. Antagal na naming naririnig to from the Ate’s ang Kuya’s so since betchikola ang Pinoy Lafang today, ayun aura na kami don. Pagka baba palang sa station, avail na agad ang mga Pinoy sa paligid, so confirmed nga na this is the place. a few minutes walk from the station, amoy mo na ang simoy ng Pinas. Naka hambalang kaagad ang pa-internet cafe na 50p/hour na feeling ko talaga eh business paandar itech ng mga seniors natin. Also, andun ang ilang groceries, restaurants at siyempre, parlor ng ating mga ateng! Pagkakita nito, wala nang isip isip pa kaen na tayo at tommy na!

Ala carte or buffet or even the boodle type thingy, name it they have it!


Since medyo cravings ang nananaig, deadma muna kami sa buffet at sinunod muna ang pintig ng aming chanda romero at nagorder kame ng sandamakmak. While deciding, aba, nakita namin ang matagal na naming hinahanap – Pale!

So for two people, we ordered: Lechong Kawali, Ilocano Pinakbet, Sinigang na Hipon, Sizzling Pork Sisig, Pritong Tilapia plus garlic rice.

Ate: Ano pa order niyo? Good for ilan ito?

A: Saming dalawa lang ate

Ate: Sure kayo dalawa lang kayong kakain nito?

A: oo ate! Happy fiesta kami ngayon

Atw: *hahahaha* nganga

And, dahil nga happy fiesta ang peg, ito lang ang kaisa-isang documentation


* After 5 minutes, ubos!* Charaught! Kinaya naman ng 30 minutes hahahaha with matching take away since di na kinaya. Ps. kalahati lang ng tilapia at kalahati ng pakbet ang di naubos so feeling ko, we did a very good job! Para sa ekonomiya ito, para sa bayan. Palakpakan, paaaak!

Para naman di masyadong guilty sa linafang, lumakad namad kami for around 30mins to get to Holland Park feat. Kyoto Gardens. Tamang chillax lang muna habang nagpapababa ng lafur





Pagkapahinga, Namiss ko ang favorite street art ko so dumaan narin muna sa Shoreditch and Bricklane para makapagrelax ang aking utak tumingin ng mga chorva sa pader





  

  
  
  
  
  

At diyan natatapos ang aking diversional activities! Tutok muli sa susunod!

P.s. Medyo nawaley na ang kwento, more of photodump na. Next time ulet pag sinipag!
PPS! My #uniquenameproject! Hinanap ko talaga ang street na itey!
