Feeling relaxed and a bit Zen-ned from the yoga session we had at the Community Fitness in Pasig, myself, Christine and Ferdz—who was also our Yogi teacher that morning—decided to do some urban exploration. “I have a barber appointment in Marikina plus a friend is inviting me to try out the James Dean Café, you can come with me” Ferdz told us.

Finding myself about to board a cruise ship for the second time, I recited a brief prayer thanking the heaven for doling out good karma upon me.
