When we got back to the hotel in Manila, my sister told me to get some rest. My son and I rested for a whole day.
On Tuesday, we decided to go to KKV Gateway Mall with mom.
But first, we dropped by the University of the Philippines to pick up mom. She's assisting my sister while her fracture is healing, so mom always tags along at work.

The Oblation Run is a yearly tradition where members of the Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity run naked with only their head covered around Palma Hall. This year, however, they went out on the streets of UP as it's the Centennial run. They do this as a way to protest the issues that currently plague our country.
This year, they are running against the trillions of pesos that corrupt government officials and contractors stole from the taxpayers.
We had brunch before going to Gateway Mall. We went to UP Food Services to check out what the food was that day:
I'm sorry but I can't translate what it says on the signs, but they are very funny! The humor will be lost if I translate it. 😁
This is for my local followers. 😁
One of my sister's staff cooked some chicken afritada for us:

Mom got yema cake for my sister
KKV Gateway Mall
I was drawn to this light structure. Later that week, I also saw the same structure in another building
Ugh..I missed this movie.
All KKV brances are huge!
What I like about KKV is that they have products for men, too.
They changed the display to these lavender themed sleeping products. I just wished they changed the design of the table, too as that's for the cooling products from a few months back.
The Amortals line is sooo cute!
I am completely lost in the beauty products that KKV offers. Lost.
There are just so many things that I want to try!
And the packaging really lures me in.
They still have a tie up with Peanuts
I'm thinking of trying these, but worried that i will lose them when I do the dishes. 🤣
I like the Spes brand. I will tell you more about their products, soon.
As you may know, KKV is not just a beauty wasteland. They also offer food, toys, stationery, and homeware.
This is supposed to be a kitty shark. It's so weird! I love cats and I love sharks but merge them? Uh...no thanks.
This is my cart
Saw these erasers at checkout. I have a few erasers like these.
They're nice. If you use the eraser around the flower, eventually you will be left with just the flower.
Stay tuned for more of my Weekday Whimsies during our staycation.
