Nothing beats good food and great company! My friends and I visited Chef Marquin.

A cozy burger joint with a unique vintage newspaper covered wall warm lighting and an inviting ambiance. The moment we stepped inside we knew we were in for a treat, we ordered their signature burgers and just by looking at them we could tell they were made with love.

The buns were golden brown the patties looked juicy and the melted cheese was irresistible. Served on a wooden board with knives stuck in the middle they had that perfect gourmet touch.

What made the experience even better was sharing it with friends. We laughed, talked, and enjoyed every bite, making the meal more than just food it was a memory in the making. If you’re looking for a spot to chill with friends over delicious burgers Chef Marquin is definitely worth checking out.

We were just walking when this happened one moment, everything was normal and the next we were caught up in this playful struggle. I was trying to get away but of course my gay friend wouldn’t let me. He held onto my hand with that mischievous grin refusing to let go. The whole thing felt like a scene from a movie people passing by the trees swaying and us just laughing in the middle of it all. It’s funny how even the simplest moments can turn into something so memorable. ---- ![IMG_6270.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/shinspired/EpQx9uUKbBt7uFnUxwN3KFGurFNhtktBtQ3mSbNNc1FH8KeNwXW7NUtaLLHRgTcGd8t.jpeg)

The next stop at central bloc in Ayala IT Park. Enjoying our food when this random selfie happened. No planning no perfect angles just us caught in the moment. It’s these unplanned snaps that capture the realest moments. No need for filters or fancy poses just us enjoying good food and good company making another random memory to look back on.

We were in Timezone just having some fun no plans no pressure just pure enjoyment. The arcade lights the sound of games buzzing around us and the excitement of trying to beat each other’s high scores made the moment even better. From racing games to claw machines we tried everything laughing at our wins and fails.

There was something about the arcade that made us feel like kids again even for just a little while. Whether it was the thrill of hitting the jackpot or just messing around with random games it was all about the experience. No matter how many tickets we won the best part was just being there together making another fun memory. ---- ![IMG_6357.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/shinspired/EpLgw5HoHECVUw34vPeH9YWqjAPGroirN9VuuRsWJvbaVVXNUKk8FnAipnB7KSPprMW.jpeg)

After playing in Timezone, we headed to McDonald’s for some snacks. We were all a bit tired from the games but the food made up for it. We ordered a bff fries and mcfloats. It was one of those simple moments that just felt right. The mix of cold drinks and warm fries was perfect and of course, we had to take a picture to remember it. Were just enjoying the food too much to pose properly but that’s what made it funny. A great way to wrap up a fun day.
