My Sundays consist of going to church, laundry or cleaning the house. This Sunday, I had a date with a certain Ms. White - Kitty White. Finally, the Hello Kitty Cafe in Uptown BGC finally opens and we had first dibs to this very cute and adorable cafe. 

You see, I have been to Hello Kitty Puroland at Malaysia, and the Hello Kitty Cafe at Myeongdong, Korea, so I was so ecstatic when the Hello Kitty Desserts Bar opened last year at SM City North EDSA. I took every opportunity to go there and try the sumptuous sweet treats. But when I finally discovered that they are already closed, my heart was kinda broken...until I saw the Hello Kitty Cafe sign at the 3rd Floor of Uptown BGC this year.
