Holiday Fridate Part 6: Venice Grand Canal Mall at Night and Miniso

This part of Venice always has the most people. People like taking their photos on this bridge.  We stayed at Venice for a long time because there were a few shops I wanted to visit and they were located far from each other.  But I got to experience it at twilight and eventually when the sun has decided to rest from our part of the globe.  I love pretty lights that’s why Christmas is my favorite holiday. All those lights adorning the streets and malls are so beautiful at night.  I passed by this sleeping cat on my way to another store. I left the boys at the food hall so that I can do my shopping fast.  The cat was in front of Texas Road House.  Seeing the collar on the cat, the mall must also have a policy on cats like Ayala Malls. Ayala Malls protect the stray cats in their area. They are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and well-fed.  My next stop was Miniso. I hardly go to Miniso ever since their branch near me closed.  I was happy to find it here...

Holiday Fridate Part 5: Venice Grand Canal Mall Daytime Pictures

  Venice Grand Canal Mall has gotten bigger over the last few years. There are more shops now.  The other shops I wanted to go to was on another part of the mall and we had to go through the bridge.  It really is a beautiful mall - the canal, the building colors, the street lamps, even the greenery.  We made a pit stop at Denny’s. I’ll show you what we ate on Lady E Eats.  For now, just enjoy the photos.  I also opened my Hello Kitty tissue… And look how ridiculously cute it is! I didn’t even know that it’s printed. I looked and saw hello kitty on the packaging and immediately put it in my basket. It’s so cute! And it’s not flimsy, too! I’m gonna buy another pack when I see it.  Next up Miniso at Venice Grand Canal Mall.  —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E  An editorial space for stories, art, and intentional living

Holiday Fridate Part 4: Venice Grand Canal Mall - KKV

  Hey, Glow Girls!  I am exhausted. It’s Monday as I write this. I just shipped the huge order from the atelier yesterday. I’ll show you what I made for this client either in Issue 04 or on a separate post.  Today, I really need to finish my Holiday Fridate series! This is a really long one. Probably will take 2 more posts. We’ll see.  So the next stop was KKV. I specifically wanted to go to this mall because it has both Flying Tiger and KKV.  The KKV branch here is big!  I finally got those two cherry mugs that I’ve been wanting to buy since my last KKV outing.  I saw this really cute cherry scrunchie, but I hardly tie my hair. I just don’t like the headache associated with it after. I try to be very gentle with my hair. Plus I think it’s because of the length that’s why I cannot tie it for long.  They have many cute scrunchies in this branch. I wish I could buy them especially this one with the crocheted cherries!  And then there’s thing. I...

1,759,511 and Still Becoming

On September 23, 2025, Glow reached one million views. I remember looking at that number and wondering what could possibly come after a million. Less than a year later, I have my answer. 759,511 more visits. Not another beginning. Not an ending either. Still becoming. Glow has reached 1,759,511 all-time views. Our last milestone was 1.5 million . Since then, another 259,511 views have quietly found their way here. That number still feels a little unreal to me. Not because I think of Glow as small anymore, but because I still remember what it feels like to sit down and write one piece at a time. One thought. One photograph. One painting. One ordinary afternoon turned into something worth keeping. And then, somewhere beyond my screen, someone reads it. Then someone else does. And somehow, over time, those tiny moments become 1,759,511 . The painting behind this milestone is called Still Becoming . I painted it long before deciding it would become part of Glow’s milestone s...
