You might be thinking, "Hot springs?! In Philippine summer?! Are you insane?!!!!" Perhaps we were. It's always really hot in the Philippines, but summers are especially unforgiving. It was so hot out the day we went to Pampanga that I could feel my face melting.

Once again my brother brought us to a restaurant I've never heard of located at an area I didn't even know existed. In my defense, I'll probably never be familiar with Manila no matter how many times I come back here and I don't really have any interest. Can you blame me? Manila isn't exactly user friendly. 

For a while now I've been stalking a few artists' accounts on Instagram, mostly for their art-related posts but also partly because I have been vicariously living through them. They meet up for art dates, have the opportunity to sell their own art, and have the luxury of being able to visit Stickerrific in a relatively regular basis. Compared to me who lives in a city with literally only one tiny art supply shop in a hard-to-reach area, they're basically living the dream.
