chic n cozy $$$$ lil spot on Shattuck! met a new friend for natural wine + small bites on this rainy Friday night and just gabbed our asses off for hours. instant connection! the staff was sweet, the food was yummy, and i’m not even mad that i spent a disgusting amount of money to still be hungies.… it was worth it. next time tho? i’m getting the damn snails

multiple people tried selling us a timeshare but overall it was pretty sweet! these raccoons and the fishies were my favorite. took edibles prior but cant say i recommend it.
-1 star bc i thought there would be an arcade:/ idk why

hello! im going to try and start this new series where i just try things. idk sometimes i forget to try so im trying harder to remember to try. you get it. anyway, my 4/20 plans with friends fell through so i thought id just spend an entire day on my own and i saw that manila zoo was recently renovated and people are hyping it up so i thought i'd go and see what's going on there. i heard they had a tiger and an elephant so im excited to see em up close
on my way
𖦹 took a blinker and plugged in my airpods. my airpods were so loose the entire ride omg it was hell
𖦹 i rode a moto-taxi and at first i thought i would have died of heat but it was actually very fun. it was windy and the sun felt nice. the driver kept asking me if i wanted a jacket or anything to cover my arms but i refused!!! not when the sun was kissing me!!!
𖦹 taking a blinker was not enough, i should have taken two
the aviary cafe
𖦹 the cafe is inside the zoo so it was very convenient. i ordered pasta, some ice cold water, and their peacock soda. pasta was amazing, although a touch too salty for my taste. peacock soda was sooo good. it was not that sweet and it had just the right amount of carbonation i could handle without having eaten anything prior. ice cold water always slaps, 10/10 - top choice on the menu
𖦹 ate a whole cookie and spent about an hour in the cafe just to wait for it to hit. but it didnt and i wanted to get out of there already lol. for future reference, i should eat the cookie before leaving my house
𖦹 couldnt finish my pasta so i had it packed and i ate it when i got home c: yum
manila zoo
𖦹 it was renovated, alright. the place was a freaking maze. i couldnt understand the map AT ALL because it didnt have 'you are here' markers and im not good with navigation ˙◠˙
𖦹 i can list down every animal i saw from memory and this is saying a lot because i have the most terrible memory: two tigers, one lion, one capybara, a whole bunch of peacocks and storks, one zebra, one ostrich, two deers, and at least ten turtles
𖦹 i think i expected too much because of the hype. i mean, the renovation looks amazing. but there are not a lot of animals there. the lizard enclosures were also empty and i didnt even see the giraffe!!!!!!
𖦹 the aviary was so cool, i think that's the place i liked the most
overall, this was a 6 out of 10. the windy walk under the sun while being surrounded and shaded by trees was a very enjoyable experience, possibly my favorite part of the entire day. i wish there were more animals!!!!!!! but maybe the problem is that i was expecting too much. oh and my edible did NOT hit at all the entire time i was there, and i was there for about 2 hours. weird

it’s not good or even great. it’s quite horrible actually… but if you feel like u need to atone for any sins this comes in handy.
you can eat this meal on a saturday morning and say to yourself “you’re terrible. you’re so terrible. you deserve this” over and over again
