She and Her Cat began as a short film released in 1999, later adapted into a mini-TV series in 2016. The story has since evolved into a novel aimed at pet owners and animal lovers alike. Divided into four chapters, it tells the stories of four women and their cats, exploring how their lives intersect and change through their unique companionships. As the wise dog, Jon, puts it: “Why bother looking after people? Because if we don’t, they die.”
The euphoria still lingers days after the Mathematics Tour in Manila. We’ve returned to work now as if the weekend didn’t happen. Yet, amid the hustle, echoes of Ed Sheeran’s live performance still resonate in my ears, each song playing a soundtrack that has subtly shaped the narrative of this life.

So, Christmas must go on. Despite all the troubles of this year, the fact that you and I are still alive (and kicking for that matter) is totally something to celebrate. As this year is a little different, maybe we should also scale up the gifts that we are planning to give to keep everyone safe but still happy this time of pandemic.
M+S Café is a small café with a very homey ambiance (not to mention IG-worthy) that offers coffee, dessert, home-cooked meals, and local products that promote sustainability – like natural bath loofah, ecobar (soap, shampoo, and conditioner), reusable pantyliners and napkins, menstrual cups, and bamboo straws.
