A Sunday Afternoon Picnic and Serenitea

 

 

Sometime late last year, Bubba surprised me with a lazy Sunday afternoon activity. 

 

We stopped by J. Abad Santos Street to order Nachos and the 9-Layer Dip from Ristras and coolers from Serenitea.  The 9-Layer Dip is our favorite pica food that time while the large containers of Serenitea Grass Jelly Jasmine Tea with no sugar (mine) and Hokkaido Milk Tea with 75% sugar (Bubba’s) were our drink of choice to accompany us in our small picnic at Ateneo.

 

 

Serenitea had this Chaim Potok saying on the wall, “Come, let us have some tea and continue to talk about happy things.”  And that’s the mantra we carried to the picnic location.  The iPod played soft house music in the background while we watched a dad with his son play soccer across the field. 

 

Bubba kept teasing me every time there was a roving guard passing by because I was scared that we might get shoo-ed off the lawn since it was only us having picnic there 😀

 

Earthquake Rocks Luzon

 

A magnitude 6 earthquake hit the province of Mindoro early Friday afternoon, the United States Geological Survey reported. The earthquake hit at around 2:23 p.m., USGS said.

 

 

I’m not sure what the magnitude was in Metro Manila (supposedly 3-4 in Richter scale) but being on the top most level of a building in Pasig, I felt the shake and it was quite nerve racking.
