Whether it has became a habit or I just really have a poor memory to remember things easily, forgetfulness has been my norm lately that I'm hating myself a little bit for that. I'm now considering to play some memory games again for a boost.

Before that, here's what happened. I have been buying my daughter's school supplies last week since her classes would start also. I was so confident that I had bought it all, not until I called my Mom to inform her that I was coming home on weekend. I told her that she doesn't need to go to the market anymore to buy the things for my daughter because I have already done that. I showed it to her one by one through a video call but she looked like she wasn't convinced. Then, she asked me how about the drawing books? Well, yeah, that one. My bad, I haven't. I even made a list of those things to be bought but I still forgot to include it.
Surely, they don't have that in the countryside's market and the nearest mall there would take me 30 minutes to travel from our hometown's bus terminal. It's better to buy it here while I'm still in the city. For that only reason, I urged myself to go the mall and buy that drawing books though I wasn't feeling well.

In fairness, I brought my umbrella this time time. The rain wouldn't adjust to me anymore. 😆
I remembered that there is a store that is selling a Shawarma Rice at the Grocery while falling in line. After I paid, I went straight to that store and ordered it. My cravings often like me to find them in an unexpected moment. The seats and tables were occupied as I received my order, so I decided to go to the Food Court to find a table where I could eat.
The aroma of coffee are always tempting me to stop by a coffee shop everytime I walk by this area. I went to check at Seattle's Best but it was all full of customers; same thing with Starbucks, Bo's Coffee, and The Coffee Corner. I was convincing myself that it was fine since I just had my cup of coffee before I left home.

Pausing for a while to appreciate the beauty of these lights and lanterns at the mall's entrance. I think I have already shared this a few times before but I really find this beautiful every time I got here and I purposely pass by this entrance just to see these things. 🙈
After I got enough of that, I went up to the Food Court to find some vacant seat and table to eat my food. I don't know if this just a coincidence or just my lucky day but I find a vacant seat in front of a small coffee shop at the corner of the food court.

One thing that I got amazed by this small coffee shop at the corner of the food court is that they sell and serve local beans from the provinces of the Philippines. I saw Excelsa and Liberica Beans there; almost sold out!

I ordered an iced latte since they don't have an iced black coffee. Sad. I would be eating a spicy beef shawarma rice, so I figured that I should pair it up with a much cooler drinks or I would be sweating from the spicy flavors. Not really a fan of super spicy foods but I still like to eat that sometimes.

I was restraining myself to burst into laughter as I remember my highschool days. We were going here every vacant class in the afternoon just to buy this Shawarma rice at that the same shop here. Since, we only have an hour to do that and we have to get back to school immediately, we would run as fast as we could because we still couldn't make it even though we would ride in a jeepney to get there. Traffic jams are hell when regular classes starts and all the businesses are booming in the downtown.
I'm also glad that they don't sugar in my coffee. It's not bad even though there's milk in it again. Not as bad as when I drink an iced latte at Coffee Corner. For the first time in forever, I didn't feel sleepy after 5 minutes and afterwards when I drink something that has milk. Their roasts are much stronger, I guess, or it is because of their variety of beans. It feels like drinking Filipino local coffee, the one called Barako which is brewed from Liberica beans.
If I could visit their facebook page, I'll probably rate that 9/10 for promoting the local beans and having a good roast that the iced latte couldn't make me feel sleepy. I officially marked this small coffee shop in the food court as one of my favorite cafes.

Hello @ayane-chan
I think taking the time for a coffee despite the back-to-school rush and agenda shopping was a brilliant idea.
After all, those outlets that you've mentioned sound amazing.
Yes, it is. Except that the outlets were fully occupied and noisy, can't really enjoy it well. 😆
Ako nga wala pang nabili na mga gamit foe my son. I am still waiting for the requirements na ibibigay ng teacher para isahan na lang para tipid sa time at pamasahe hehehe...
Di ko pa natry yang coffee, di rin kasi ako umiinom ng coffee hehehe.
Uniform na lang iyong need ko, mamshie. Wala pa kasing binigay na layout yung teacher kaya di rin ako makapagpatahi. Bagal nga eh, sana advance nila sinasabi nuh.
Ou kasi ayaw ko nung rush or late na mamili hayss.. klase na sa monday wala pang gamit anak ko.
Wow look at all of those lanterns and lights on the ceiling. That's super colorful. I really like that. 👍
Hello, @leaky20. I love those lanterns, too; that's why I often pass by this area if I can visit the mall.
Yay! 🤗
