Hello everyone!
Hope all are safe and well!
Today, the 19th of November in 2023, my feet led me to IT Park for a spontaneous adventure. The clock was ticking towards 6 pm as I stepped into Ayala Central Bloc, where a lively scene unfolded. Since it was a Sunday, many people gathered around the mall, and what caught my attention were the arc of golden lights and inviting benches. I decided to join others, finding a cozy spot to watch people and capture the moments that unfolded around me.
As I sat on the bench, time seemed to slow down, allowing me to soak in the vibrant atmosphere. The lights created a warm ambiance, casting a magical glow over the surroundings. The buzz of people coming and going, each with their unique stories, added to the charm of the evening.
However, the tranquility was interrupted by unexpected rain showers. In a rush to avoid getting soaked, I decided to seek shelter inside the mall. Surprisingly, it was not as crowded as I expected, and I took advantage of the moment to explore.
Inside the mall, I was drawn to clothing stalls. With an upcoming victory party in mind, I embarked on a quest to find the perfect outfit. To my delight, I stumbled upon a dress that not only captured my eyes but also fit perfectly. The price is Php 650.00, and thankfully, I had enough cash in my pocket to make the purchase. Gratitude filled me as I left the stall, my heart lightened by the unexpected find.
Wandering through the mall, I couldn't help but admire the diverse offerings. From cozy nooks for solitude to bustling stalls with enticing treats, each corner held a unique charm. The evening unfolded like a tapestry of experiences, and I savored every moment.
After a while, with my newfound dress in hand, I decided to head home. As I stepped outside, the rain had stopped, and I took the opportunity to capture a few more pictures. Waiting for a jeep at the bus stop, a sense of urgency set in as dark clouds hinted at another impending downpour.
The journey homeward was swift, and thankfully, I arrived safe and sound without encountering heavy rain.
Before reaching my boarding house, I made a quick stop at a bakery. However, amidst the simple joy of buying bread, I couldn't help but notice the subtle changes in prices. The familiar hundred pesos, once sufficient for a small haul, now seemed to have diminished purchasing power.
Nevertheless, arriving home without a drop of rain on me brought a sigh of relief. As I write this, I reflect on the joy found in the unexpected corners of a seemingly ordinary Sunday. Each moment, from the lively scenes at Ayala Central Bloc to the spontaneous dress discovery and the race against rain, contributed to the uniqueness of this Sunday escapade.
In the simplicity of the evening, there's a tale of gratitude for unexpected delights, a dress that tells a story, and the comforting feeling of being home safe and dry. There's beauty found in the ordinary, and the joy that lingers even after the lights dim and the rain subsides.
Have a Blessed Sunday everyone! 😀😀😀💖💖💖
