The Partygoers

The ManikaManila Doll Promenade was held at Sonya’s Garden, a bed and breakfast restaurant in Tagaytay, a beautiful city two hours away from Manila. The food was refreshingly healthy, and the ambience relaxing. The party would’ve started early if it hadn’t rained, as it always does when the cloudbringers Yapi and Joey are together. The rain soaked the beds and benches outside, but it made the flowers brighter, and the garden even greener. I suddenly was glad I let myself be dragged to this affair.

The Promenade was partly to celebrate the arrival of two more ManikaManila members, Shuri and Himiko. To date, there are six of our kind in the Philippines, excluding Blanc Minuet, who is anti-social and asleep.

From left, Veritas, myself (Uno), Manx Minuet, her half-brother, Ceras, the little newcomer Shuri and the not-so-imaginary Himiko.
