My household and my mom’s checked in at I’m Hotel because we wanted her to have a shopping-and-spa day for her birthday weekend.

We went shopping first at SM Makati for her gold accessories and a long dress that she will wear for a gala night of one of her organizations. Bought some Christmas decor, just because.

Then we pigged out on some Cantonese food and went straight to the onsen and massage, which my mom enjoyed. We had an early night because the spa experience was good. Well, it was for me because I had a hard massage that helped me with my frozen shoulder.

Mom was so happy with the shopping that she wanted to go back to SM to buy more stuff today.

Parking, however, is gonna be an issue because it’s a weekend plus it’s a Christmas season weekend. 🤦🏻‍♀️
