At the time I am writing this, it is actually passed my bed time. I am an old man that likes to sleep by 9:30 every night. BUT, I was more concerned about getting a new blog post out this week. Thanks to all of those that actually take the time to read these.

This week’s post is actually a continuation from my last post. My last post was a weekend recap, more specifically Saturday of that weekend. This post will be covering what we did that following Sunday.

After pretty much OD’ing on Filipino activities and festivities all Saturday long, we decided to do a usual Jon and Justine type of Sunday. That would normally consist of going to a coffee shop in the morning and catching a Farmer’s Market. We kinda recently made that our Sunday ritual. On this Sunday, we didn’t get to catch the Farmer’s Market, but we did get to check out this one coffee shop that I been wanting to check out for quite some time. The name of the shop is Motoring Coffee. Motoring Coffee opened in San Francisco in 2024, being one of two locations, with the other being in Los Angeles. The concept of the shop is:

“A public-facing cafe and retail space that combines the experience of drinking specialty coffee with the culture of cars. It is an extension of The Motoring Club, a members-only car enthusiast club, and features a rotating display of vintage cars inside the coffee shop itself. The concept creates a permanent location for car lovers to gather, socialize, and enjoy coffee, and is intended to be a more accessible version of the traditional ‘cars and coffee’ meetups.”

As a person that is mildly interested in cars, I thought this was such a dope idea of a coffee shop. The coffee and pastries were pretty solid, no complaints there. I wish we knew about what drinks they specialized in and were known for. We settled with what we thought sounded good on the menu. Next time for sure we will try their specialities. When we went, the showcased car was a green BMW 2002. We hung out for a while, I snapped some flicks, and some random guy even asked me to take his photos.

After spending about an hour or so sipping on coffee and chilling out we planned to check out the photobooth museum. No.3 Fine Jewelers was right up the street from us. I really wanted to check it out for something (IYKYK ;P), but they were doing a private consultation. So, we headed out to the Castro where the museum was at.

I wish I took more pictures of the museum, but I didn’t. Justine found this place on TikTok, so you already know it was swarmed full of Gen Z kids of that nature. Photomatica is more of a space that houses these vintage photobooths that you can actually use to take photos rather than your conventional museum of exhibits that are just on display. We took photos in every Photobooth machine. Some had really nice film and some were just whatever. I will admit it was a fun experience, albeit I was annoyed with all the younger kids being “influencers”. Unfortunately I don’t have scans of our photo strips to share here nor did I take any photos of Photomatica. I literally only have one picture from there.

Well, that pretty much sums up that Sunday of the weekend recap. ‘Til the next one, enjoy these photos.

Sunday Scaries.

October is for Filipinos.
