YOUNG DUMB BROKE HIGH SCHOOL KID

  When I say, 'let's drink,' I'm not talking about the alcohol but rather the good times, the moments we treasure, and the memories I truly want to relive. I know that when we gather and have a drink, each of us has our own struggles that we keep inside. However, there's a part of us that heals through these cherished moments. You see, alcohol might taste a bit bitter, but as we talk and share our thoughts, it somehow becomes sweeter. Everyone is there to listen and offer their sincere advice.

For just 75 pesos, you get to choose a satisfying rice or pasta meal along with a beverage or dessert. It's not just food; it's a taste of joy and memories with friends.
