I have been summoned to tag along to act as a
The cafe opens at 2PM on a Sunday, but our six–man team was in the cafe an hour before opening time. The owner was kind enough to open the cafe early (the bride–to–be asked permission thru phone a few days in advance).
While the couple were busy making lovey–dovey poses in the corner of this small cafe (it can only sit 19 people—I counted the chairs, not including the two kiddie chairs stacked near the refrigerator), I got busy...
...studying the menu (food and drinks go from Php80 to Php120)

...admiring the cakes in the display case (brownies for Php 85 and cakes for Php120)
...looking at the thousands of Post–It notes covering the walls and shelves
...peering at the tiny faces on the Instax photos hoping to see familiar faces

...and getting my picture taken for Sunday 2PM's facebook page. Ha! Just kidding.
The cafe has a photobooth by the counter. Photos taken at the booth will be automatically uploaded to Sunday 2PM's facebook page.
L–R: Pink lemonade slush (Php120), blue lemonade (Php100), chocolate sin mousse (Php120)
The time came to wrap up the shoot and do my duty: consume the props. First in line: pink lemonade slush. The first word that registered upon first sip: sweet. Second: Cold. This icy cold and very sweet drink is an excellent drink to have on a very hot day.
Drink number two: blue lemonade. This, compared to the pink lemonade, wasn't too sweet. If I had tried this before the pink one, I'm not certain I'd have the same opinion. It could just be the pink sugar being stuck to my tongue.
Because of the tininess of the cafe, each person who chooses to stay in the cafe is required to have one order. So why just three for the six-man team? Sorry, Sunday 2PM, but I honestly didn't know this rule. Thank you though for not kicking three of us out. And a big thank you to the couple for letting me eat the props! :D
