Mouthful purchase from UPLB

From Quezon City, I was supposed to go directly to Lumban to get my piña callado barong for a work event this July. But circumstances made me visit the 60th anniversary of UPLB CIDL.  It was where I saw this, ehem, mouthful pottery. 

The seller said that she got the pot from Region 3. The seller took time to color the pots she ordered, a hobby during the COVID-19 pandemic, which in the post-pandemic then turned into a small business. 

It's ugly and enticing. Despite the hassle of bringing it back to Quezon City as a hardcore bus commuter, I can't turn down the enticing 50% off from its original price. 

So yeah, cheers to purchasing an unneeded item just because it's despicable and ugly and enticing. 

Japan dream came true

I want to Tokyo for a business trip. It was a very tight schedule. I was hopping that I'll be able to get a Tabi Shoes while I was there. Four days have passed, no Tabi shoes. On the last day, while visiting a temple, a pair of Tabi shoes presented itself. Cheers!
