Well, CommonRoomPH just invaded South again recently in Alabang Town Center, last February 10 to 14. And I got the chance to visit their pop-up store! :) And of course, since  Valentine's, there's no better way to show love by arts and crafts of different local artists and makers by supporting them and also to buy gifts for your special someone.

They organized a white board where people can write on papers and clip their messages for their crushes! *LOL* If you went there, care to share what you wrote? :) They also offered free workshops, my friend and I, were a part of the lucky ones who enjoyed one of their workshops, Leather Stamping by @punchcrafts Here are some photos! :)




Can't wait for more pop-up stores from Common Room here in the South, and if you haven't checked it out yet, I hope you guys will. Their store is in Katipunan, Quezon City. *wink*

Themed cafes and restaurant has been a hit these past few years and I've been happy to come across with a theme cafe inside a mall! Well, I'm pretty hyped up with it being in a mall since most of the time, these cafes or restaurants are located outside establishments (or so I thought) but, it felt so near! And I think I finally found my new to-go place besides the mainstream coffee shops. 

Buku Buku Kafe is book-themed cafe with a homey vibe, and definitely instagram-worthy. When I googled the meaning of Buku, I found out that its a Vietnamese word meaning, "a lot of" and another meaning is from Indonesian which means "books". Besides books and coffee, the cafe also offers a full dining experience that really made my bestfriend and I think that we would come back to this place. 

Pork Barbecue Satay & Sisig Nachos

Besides a place for individuals to read books and dine-in. This cafe welcomes indie singers where they can play cover songs and even their originals, such a creative place to be! And if you're not anywhere near the South, its worth the travel!

Buku Buku Kafe is located at the G/F SM Southmall, Las Piñas and another branch at the G/F Promenade Wing in The District, Imus, Cavite.
