Celebrants and Coffee

10.12.22

I noticed that there are many October birthday celebrants. Not only on this platform but my October calendar especially on Facebook birthday notifications has been flooded as well.

October Celebrants

There are a few people that I know who celebrated their birthday too. One of my best friends celebrated her birthday on the 3rd and we usually do an OctoberFest celebration when we were in college. This year's Octoberfest has been canceled because I am in Tacloban and one of us is also locked down with her partner HAHAHA!

Bati Deis

Our eldest sister celebrated her birthday on the 7th and one of our cousins older than us also has the same birthdate. Another cousin's wife also celebrated too.

Ninong Bai

He's my husband's buddy and celebrated his birthday on the 8th. He dropped by our place in Tacloban because his work is in Samar. He will go home to Cavite, to his family to celebrate his birthday. Before he went home, he and my husband managed to escape their office to celebrate.

We went to the nearest coffee shop in our place, Rovinare by Jose Karlo's Coffee. I don't drink coffee but Ninong Bai drinks coffee to chill.

Rovinare

Aside from Starbucks, Coffeebean, and other coffee shops in the Metro, I find Rovinare a soothing place to have coffee.

I believe they are referring to Typhoon Yolanda.

I didn't expect a coffee shop to look like that and how they managed to include huge ice machinery as one of their interior designs. I wasn't able to take a picture of what it looks like from the entrance door and other parts of the café. I just took a few pictures from where we seated.

I remembered when my father used to take home and keep wine bottles too.

Here's what we ordered. My husband and ninong bai played ML as they miss their gaming time. I used to join them when playing ML or COD but now I play solo whenever Lil B is asleep.

What I also love about their coffee is they don't serve cold beverages with tube ice or cube ice. They served it with hand-crushed like ice.

Lil B loved it too. Didn't miss a chance to take pictures of her there too.

so bossy Lil B

She roams around and goes up and down the chair, waving or saying Hi! to almost every person she sees there like she's Miss Congeniality.

Now here's other parts of the cafe that my husband and Ninong bai enjoyed.

After we spent a couple of hours in the coffee shop, we picked up our laundry and had dinner.

We had this inside joke that we will eat at the Biringan Diner. It was just because we forgot we it is located and joked around as if it is like the hidden city of Biringan in Samar.

After we had dinner, they went back to the office but I told my husband to buy at least a slice of cake for Ninong Bai. He was already generous enough to treat us to the coffee shop and dinner. Good thing that Rovinare was still open at that time. We went back there and Ninong Bai got confused about why we drove back there and asked if we forgot something. I and my husband just said yes.

Then a little happy birthday to Ninong Bai!

Happy birthday to all October celebrants!
