I took a vacation leave last Friday and spent the entire morning roaming UP Diliman with my date.  It was quiet there since sembreak has already started. My date and I took a brief driving halt at the Business Administration building and decided to walk going to the AS Canteen, a couple of hundred meters away from the BA building. We had initially planned to eat barbecue under the canopy of trees at the Beach House, but decided to go to the AS Canteen instead after knowing that the Beach House was closed for the break.

However, the AS Canteen was closed, too. We decided to simply go to the Shopping Center and eat lunch there. We walked going there but ended up eating at Lutong Bahay, a house located near the Shopping Center. My date was very much enjoying the meal we had. All the Garlic Porksteak, Pastel, and another pork dish [I think it was another porksteak with Calamansi; yes, we were porking our lunch] cost less than 200 bucks only but tasted so well.

After that value meal of sorts, we went to Banapple, a cozy place for sumptuous desserts along the lengthy Katipunan Avenue. We got a Banoffee pie and an Apple Pie [I can't remember, I initially thought it was American Pie; the experience was the same nontheless; hehe]. Both tasted great, fattenning and calorific but great!

It was a breath of fresh air to my busy work schedule. Feeling young is something I hardly feel nowadays–even more at work. And the experience was more than a massage or back therapy in a spa. That day made me remember what I did when I was still a student: Frolick at the park, walk along the sidewalk, and be my worry-free self again–with a special someone to boot . It made me young again.
