THERE’S SOMETHING MAGICAL about unplanned pauses—the kind that come wrapped in chocolate, topped with laughter, and served cold in a waffle cone.
After weeks of back-to-back workshops, meetings, and emotional juggling that would make any circus proud, the universe decided to give me the sweetest gift: a KitKat Ice Cream Booth experience at Robinsons Place Manila. The timing couldn’t have been more divine—it was my birthday, and all I wanted was a little break from being an adult.
The Booth That Broke the Routine
You couldn’t miss it—bright, cheerful, and unapologetically red, the KitKat Ice Cream Booth looked like it had been airlifted straight from a commercial. The air was filled with laughter, camera flashes, and that unmistakable scent of freshly churned happiness.
So there we were: me, Angelic, Anne, and Ahva—four battle-worn yet still fabulous souls, ready to trade deadlines for dessert.
Angelic, ever the comic relief, declared between bites, “Finally, a sweet break after my hangover!” We didn’t question his life choices; we simply toasted our cones in solidarity.
Ahva, on the other hand, had her own brand of poetic drama: “Even my emotional hugot deserves a day off,” she said, gazing into her chocolate swirl like it held the answers to life’s mysteries. Turns out, it did—the answer was sugar.
Meanwhile, Anne and I were content just to exist in the sweetness—our first real pause after an exhausting creative sprint. No scripts, no schedules, just the crunch of wafer and the cool of chocolate ice cream melting into perfect imperfection.

A Break Worth Taking
What struck me most wasn’t just how good the ice cream was (and it was dangerously good). It was how something so simple could instantly change the mood. In the middle of a mall, surrounded by city noise and endless to-do lists, the KitKat Ice Cream Booth became a tiny island of joy—a place where deadlines dissolved and calories didn’t count (at least emotionally).
Birthdays, I realized, don’t always need big celebrations. Sometimes, they just need a cone of KitKat ice cream, shared laughter, and friends who understand your brand of chaos.
Sweet Lessons from a Chocolate Break
If there’s one thing KitKat has taught the world, it’s this: breaks aren’t a luxury—they’re a necessity. You can’t pour from an empty cup… or scoop from an empty tub.
That afternoon, amid giggles and sugar highs, I found my reset button. Life may not come with a pause button, but thankfully, it comes with chocolate—and friends who remind you that sweetness still exists, even after the toughest days.
So here’s to birthdays, hangovers, emotional hugots, and creative burnouts. And here’s to KitKat Ice Cream—for turning a random Saturday into a memory worth melting for,
