A Spontaneous Saturdate with Friends

It was a long, tiring day, and I haven't seen my friends in a while. Despite being exhausted from my internship duty, I feel the need to meet up with my friends and hang out with them. It was Saturday after all, so I realized why not spend a little time catching up with them? With my sleepy eyes and tired knees after shift, I went to the establishment where they are doing their on-the-job training, and there my friend, Hive account@ikaycutie, fetched me outside.

This was actually an unplanned hook-up. The initial plan was that after work I'd go home directly so that I could have my weary body rest. But then, my clingy hormones got activated, which resulted in me wanting to see my not-so-showy but clingy friends. So basically, this Saturday has become an on-the-spot Saturdate.

So, the meeting place is specifically Nyor Cafe + Bistro. If you want to know more about this place, you can check out Hive account@ikaycutie's blog featuring this one, because maybe you'll consider this one in the future if you ever come here in Cebu, Philippines.

I entered the cafe in the welcoming presence of my other friends. The ambience of the place is cozy and warm. I believe even just sitting here chitchatting with my friends would somehow sooth my poor little tired self. Just by doing that, I've started taking pictures.




I appreciate everything that I saw. The place was giving me such a relaxing vibe that, in a snap, I forgot that I was definitely burned out from five consecutive days of duties. But hephep, let's not complain because the greatest days are yet to come. I've seen some students there as well, working individuals, and foreigners, which are boarders from a mini-hotel that's actually connected with Nyor Cafe, the same building but two different brand names owned by the same person.

We were seated here on the upper part of the cafe and started catching up while laughing at our random jokes and topics. Thankfully, I was able to be here because it definitely made me feel less worn out. I enjoyed gazing at these meaningful and historical paintings on the wall.


For this instant Saturday, I have looked forward to not spending any money at all. I just want to visit there and meet my friends. That's just it. But we have this Filipino expression "budol,” which means influencing someone to do or buy something. So directly speaking, though I find it unnecessary for me to buy food at that time, I've been “budoled” by my friends with their latest combo offer, and here it goes. Charannn!


This is worth 99 pesos. I know it's psychological pricing, right? Hahahaha, but anyway, I only gaslighted myself and thought I deserved this one. I believe, I really do. This is the cheapest combo they had, and I admit, this combo is honestly so good. Kudos to my friends for the recommendation, or budol?

Overall, this has been a nice weekend experience for me. I don't go outside a lot, but being able to spend some time with my besties on a spontaneous Saturdate after work was truly amazing. So this is what happened on that one Saturday. Thanks for reading!
