Christmas Day ranks second among my favorite days of the year. Siguro kasi parang ang saya na ang daming ilaw kahit hindi masaya ang Meralco bill. Well, isang beses lang naman sa isang taon, sabi nga nila.
But this season went from exciting to gloomy because of the tragedy that was Odette. We made ways to help kahit ba hindi direct na makapunta roon. I’m praying that my fellow countrymen who are affected by the typhoon will soon recover. Usually, I’ll schedule myself on a trip, but I decided to use this fund to help.
Sabi ko, sa malapit na lang, one that would not cost me more than two thou. Ayun, my brother and I went to Ever Gotesco Mall in Commonwealth to visit Tales of Illumina and Selfielicious. Naka-promo ‘yung kinuha ko sa website nila. So for PhP 998, puwede na ‘yung dalawa. Sa Klook kasi, for example, ang Tales of Illumina ay PhP 799, while ang Selfielicious ay PhP 349. Kinuha ko na ‘yung promo.
Bale, literal na photo dump lang ito. Hehe.
Tales of Illumina
Ginawang Tales of Illumina ang sinehan sa Ever Gotesco Commonwealth. Ang dami nilang nailagay—from Instagrammable rooms to educational sections (May Florante at Laura, Ibong Adarna parts ang Tales of Illumina). May pa-perfomance din sila.

True to its name, kung mahilig ka mag-selfie at mag-picture-picture tulad ko, then go. (Pero sa balitang Omicron, mukhang hindi na naman puwede.) Anyway . . .
Again, may iba na nilitratuhan ko na lang ang venue kasi swak-swak lang. May iba rito na kamukha ng nasa Dessert Museum, actually, tulad ng lips sa may smooch section.

Sorry sa lack of description. It is what it is naman kasi. As in for pictorials talaga. Favorite picture Nag-enjoy naman ako dahil mahilig naman talaga ako pumorma at magpa-picture, lalo na kung comfortable ako sa kasama ko.
