This moment in the journey
Cheers to a Philippine night
To go with it, of course, San Miguel. Tonight's can was San Mig Free, the non-alcoholic one. I opened it and poured it into a glass. Cheers to a Philippine night.
I squeezed over some kalamansi, which has become my favorite. The smell of the sauce and the refreshing scent of citrus were irresistible, the sourness cutting through the rich flavor.
On a hot night, a cold drink and fried noodles just belong together. I'm sure that's the same all over the world. Everyday life on an island of eternal summer.
