I'm really personally loving these Wisterias

 

 

They have a chiller for storing the flowers and keeping it fresh

Buku.Buku Kafe / Ayala Mall District Imus

 

Grab a Book, Grab a Bite

 

     There is not much of concept restaurant/café from where I am residing. Recently my eyes  gazed through one of the Ayala Property mall "The District Mall" Located  in Imus Cavite along Aguinaldo Highway. The Brand name of the Coffee Shop is quite catchy as well "Buku.Buku Kafe" which is a Bahasa term for many many books the name reflects the literature and art inside the café and the Southeast Asian flavors that influence Buku-Buku's menu.

 

     Upon entering the Café you will instantly feel the very cozy ambiance, Dim lighted plus natural lighting , the aroma of coffee beans is all over the place, and who wouldn't love artistic decors? 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 



      Foods being served is a fusion of Filipino and Malaysian delicacies. I ordered their Longanisa Slizer which is very flavorful and it is served a Fried crispy Banana chips on the side, and I got Milo Dinosaur  to quench my thirst they used Chocó cereals for it's toppings,  I used to drink it a lot while I was still in SG with my friends.

   

Cupcakes, Cookies, Breads and cakes are also available

     There's a bookshelf at the farthest end of the shop where you can choose to read while waiting for your order or just want to pass time by yourself, they have wide selection of reads from Biography, Science, Coffee table books, Photography and other art books and also Novels. Just make sure to respect their books and have it returned properly to shelves after reading it.

 

 

      Their Community Board where you can post all your Suggestions and even your Hugots which you have been caring deep inside you for a long time.  

 

 

     You can also borrow their Board games. They also do have items being displayed which you can purchase. Handcrafted by local artist. 

 

 

 

 

 

     My Favorite part of the café is their ceiling. It has a very structured lighting and books hanged they are like a pattern of constellations to me.

 

 

 

 

Other Activities:

• On a Friday night they do have an open mic event for those who wants to recite their written  Poem.  Busking from local bands/singers

Photography: Sunset

 

O n   t h e   d a y 's   E n d

 

 

 

     One of my favorite subject for my photographs are sunsets, I just do love it simply because it's golden and magical. After a very long nerve-wracking day at work you just got have to stop and watch it set along the horizon, thinking how you survive through out the day and reminding you that everything is possible.

 

     Here's a lovely poem I've recently read hope it could also lift up your mood and inspire you.

 

 "Sunset  by Jessica Millsaps"

 

Every night
The horizon lights up
Swirls of pink and orange
Fading to blue and purple

Few bother to look anymore
At a blessing
That only comes once a day

Each sunset is different
No two exactly alike
Difference flows throughout
While it is the only similarity

Over the ocean
Or through the sky scrapers
Out on the prairie
Or in an apartment

You can still see a piece
A piece of something
Something never to return
A sunset

For the colors are shimmering
For a moment they stay
Only to disappear into change
Change just as beautiful as the last

This is why
No matter where you go
One thing remains the same,
A difference in sunsets

 In your very own sunset

     I always tend to bring my trust worthy camera with me incase I still have the strength and time to walk around to take some photographs . It's the only thing I know that could ease my weary mind and body.

 

 

 

 

 

     Just a simple way to end your day don't forget to breath and remember that you are always doing your hardest  :)

 

Handmade with Love

 

 

      It has not been so long that I got hooked into Art's and Crafts materials, being part of a hotel creative team you will surely build up a liking with items that are being used for Designing. One of the most recommend stores to go to is the Papemelroti shops.
 

They do have a total of 16 stores in the Metro

ShoppesVille Greenhils     SM Megamall     Gateway Cubao     SM Manila

       If you are looking for a giveaways for your special occasions they have a lot of varieties of items to choose from such as  Handmade calendars, Quotation wall decors, Metal crafts, figurines, jewelries and so much more. It really is a wonderland for vintage item and treasure hunter junkies.





 

I would love to fill my Room wall with this very artistic decors

     Their goodies also goes so well in decorating your room, or if you want a Vintage/Boho style looking kitchen, they have wooden furniture to accentuate the ambiance.

 

  Earth - Friendly Stationaries/journals and Book Holders for your Friends

 

 

 

 

     There are so much lovely items to look at that I was having a panic attack and cannot contain myself from splurging some of my salary (T..T)  but it was worth it. My mom also loves buying their products as gifts for her friends and family. Now you guys should also stop overthinking what gifts to give and decors to buy just drop by at any Papemelroti shop and let your inner "Giovanni Battista Belzoni" wander it's stream of creativity and do it's work.
