November Babies

They share more than their birth month. They wake up early, visit Japan on the regular, love animè, collect toys, and take very long photo shoots.

Showcasing Elixa's itabag. I thought "itabag" was a brand. It means "painful bag". Pain may mean different things like painfully embarassing or an expensive hobby. I don't know. Maybe for this specific instance, it's pain to the owner's wallet. Jk

Lunch at Kazu Café. Sam was already there when we arrived. We were supposed to order the special, but it was no longer available. But the server suggested items that were off the menu. She brought out the tablet and showed us some hidden menu items. 🍀 Really good food. 🥘

Curry's on the sweeter side (like sweet onion). I prefer my curry spicy though

Major life changes throw me off balance most of the time, regardless if they are planned or not. I was able to reconnect more with old friends these days and every meet-up felt so warm. Thank you, God, for these soft landings.
