AJ and I managed to take a little break from the holiday rush last week, and holed up at the lounge of the New World Hotel in Makati for a simple afternoon tea.
Simple because we just had some English Breakfast tea (it’s TWG, natch!) and scones from the hotel. 
The English Breakfast tea from TWG was divine and luxurious, but the scones were plain-tasting and crumbly. They look good in pictures, though (hehe).
Next in our agenda would be an afternoon tea date at TWG Tea Salon and Boutique at Greenbelt 5. Here you have to make seat reservations in advance to enjoy their extensive gourmet tea time sets: 
- TWG photos are borrowed from this website: kristn.com
The tea set (a selection of finger sandwiches, pastries, scones and your choice of TWG tea) starts at P500.00, and I can’t tell right now if that price is steep or reasonable since I’ve yet to try it.
Do you know of other afternoon tea sets that we should try? We’ve had one at Manila Peninsula and so far, nothing beats that experience in my book!
![[ Long story ahead] 👉 Yesterday evening we checked on GG2 and found that 2 kitties were missing. We don't know where she put them because her area is already fenced to avoid the kitties from wandering off.
Turned out we are now at that stage where the momma cat is transferring her kitties because: (a) the birthing box has gotten too small for them though we put them out of the box already and fenced the area, (b) the area is dirty and OC si GG2, or (c) the area is too exposed and too bright for them.
After looking around with flashlight, we found the 2 kitties under the other plant stand just outside our door, walking at different directions and if not for the flashlight ay baka natapakan ko na 😬 We hurriedly put them back in their original box muna with their other siblings, and placed kraft paper in this potential '2nd home' under the plant stand in case GG2 transfers them again.
True enough, she transferred them back there - at midnight. We woke up this morning at the sound of meowing GG2. She is telling us that her babies want breakfast na so it's time to feed her as well 😂
Now I know why nag lipat bahay sya. Gusto pala nya mas malapit sya sa amin 😜 Isang sigaw or meow meow lang nya, nakasilip na kme sa kanya 😂.
Haaayz, who knew that having a momma cat and newborn kitties would be this stressful - and entertaining 😜

September 2, 2013 at 9:03 pmHello leah, we just had a tea party last saturday; actually it is an event with the wife of the senior pastor of ccf as the inspirational speaker for Christian military wives. We are all wearing fancy hats. Our food was like munchkins from jco donuts, chicken pie, and something like lemon cake slices from mary grace. We’ll still do it in the future. Thanks for the tips of having the paper doilies and the letter stamps bec we’ll use it also for the keepsakes.
