There’s always something going on in Ayala Triangle: it’s the go-to place if you want good food, a place to walk around in, or to watch pretty dancing lights at night. But last Friday night, there was a bit more activity than the usual.

The Ayala Triangle was filled with people hustling and bustling as they set up their stalls filled with gift-worthy goodies for Christmas. What for? The Brown Bag Market, of course! Despite the rain and heavy traffic, there were a lot of people who went to support the creative social entrepreneurs. It was like etsy.com materialized into a flea market. Aside from the goodies, the Keds Sneaker Design Workshop by CJ de Silva produced awesome hand-painted shoes.

I don’t know about you, but those look like fantastic Christmas gifts… only they might not make it to the intended friend. Whoever said hoarding was bad?—WITTY NAME HERE
