Celebrate Valentine at Adarna
A different way to celebrate Valentine’s day is happening at Adarna Food and Culture on February 13, 2010 at 7:00 PM with “PS. Mahal Kita”–A Valentine Tertulia. Profess your love to your special someone and bring a love letter to read.
Here’s the announcement from Adarna:
‘PS. Mahal kita.’ A Valentine Tertulia at Adarna
Date: Saturday. February 13, 2010
Time: 7:00pm ~ 10:00pm
Location: 119 Kalayaan Ave., Quezon City
A tertulia is a social gathering common during the turn of the century. Friends usually congregate in someone’s home late in the afternoon or early evening to enjoy conversation, art and culture. The mood is informal and the guests themselves provide the entertainment.
In celebration of Valentine’s day, you are cordially invited to participate in this special tertulia by sharing real love letters, poems or songs expressing Pinoy romance .
This is a FREE event but guests are requested to come in Filipiniana attire—regional, period, or even as literary or historical Pinoy lovers!
Come and celebrate the timelessness of Pinoy love at Adarna.
For questions and reservations please send us a message through our FB accounts or through:
