“I decided to give life one more chance…”

I’m down to the last episode of this controversial teen series and I couldn’t bear to watch when the protagonist’s inner demons had completely taken control over her life, broken her very soul. She made her death her last project.  “You’ll learn to live without me. Like I had to live without you.” That was like the secondary message she wanted to convey. But her action almost shattered a boy who wishes he still had one more chance to make things right for this girl who still owns every piece, every fragment of his broken heart even if she’s no longer around.

This story is provocative, significant and depressing… I needed another one that is the complete opposite. Perhaps Stories by Lilypad will do. Though it is not really a series but an ancestral house turned all-day breakfast restaurant and café in the famed Times Street in Quezon City (the street where former President Noynoy Aquino lives).

Food is good, as expected. Ambiance quaint and casual. The teacup fountain is lovely and whimsical. And perfect time to go is 7 am weekend when most people are still in bed, sound and safe. Sometimes I need a quiet place to process some things.  But first “The way we treat each other and look out for each other. It has to get better somehow."
