Last night I was able to meet up with a good friend (Hi Clare!). And as always, it was good. Coffee/Hot Chocolate and a hearty breakfast at the odd-hour of 9pm at Bo’s Katipunan. A familiar, homey area to set the tone of our life-updates. There are some friendships that are formed over years of […]
