Kicking off a busy week with a simple celebration ๐
After work today, treated one of my assistants, Ravel, to a small birthday surprise. Along with Irene, we headed to Palm Grill in Tomas Morato โ one of the restaurants in the area offering authentic Southern Mindanaoan cuisine. ๐๐ฅฉ๐ฅฅ
The place was warm and welcoming, with colorful interiors and soft folk music that beautifully reflected the culture of the southern Philippines. It was a first time for both Ravel and Irene, and a perfect spot for something different. โบ๏ธ
We kept things light (weโre all watching our waistlines ๐
) but absolutely enjoyed the chicken satti โ a dish served with sweet and spicy soup and sticky rice balls โ followed by coccoroons and a cup of Sulu coffee, graciously on the house. โ๐ฐ
What made the afternoon extra special was seeing Ravelโs reaction to the surprise โ full of gratitude and joy. It was such a heartwarming moment, and Iโm glad I had my phone ready to capture it. ๐
Grateful for good food, good company, and moments like this that remind us how simple joys are often the most meaningful. Thank You, Lord ๐โจ
