I met Cindy around two years ago, at the Beyond The Cutest Dreams book launch. We were introduced by Sachi, if I remember correctly! Fast forward to 2016. We've become a bit closer through talking online, over Twitter and such. We found out that we were both from the South, so we often talked about meeting up. But time went by and we didn't get to meet that year at all, lol. This time though, after more than a year, our schedules finally matched so we got to meet up and have our date. We even wore matchy outfits for the occasion 💕
We met up and had lunch at Cafe Mary Grace at ATC. I've always been curious about this place because it's right across Starbucks, so it's within view whenever Aian and I went for coffee. We've never tried it though because it's almost always packed with titas (aunties), a lot of times with their families. That's why I thought it was a good idea to have our #titasofthesouth lunch date here, haha!
Super cute interiors. Food is good, too! Didn't get to try their dessert though, which I've heard a lot of good things about. Next time!
#Twinning with Cindy 💕 We couldn't get a decent photo of our matchy outfits because my photographer was missing in action, lol.
After having lunch, we walked around ATC for a bit then headed to Exchange Alley Coffee House for coffee. The coffee was good but not my thing—I like coffee drinks that are milky and sweet (I have a baby's taste). This is a great place for people who can appreciate coffee as it is. I'm just not quite there yet 😅 I still plan on going back though, to try their breakfast platter and avocado toast!
Photo time! Please take the time to appreciate how pretty my date was that day 😍
Selca time 💕 (Follow us on Instagram – @cindycanares and @_chainyan 😘)
Hi ganda 😍😍😍😍
After taking a ton of photos outside, we went back to ATC. Spent the rest of the afternoon window shopping for clothes, furniture, essential oils, and LUSH products (aka reached #peaktita levels 😂).
Fun fun day! Even though Cindy and I are both from the South, we don't really get to see each other much. (She's busy with school, while I rarely go outside lol.) I hope we can hang out more like this in the future. Try ALL the South cafes! 💕
