Loud music and foamy latte
When I am angry or just plain pissed off about something, I listen to alternative songs. Loud music. Headphones on. Volume set to the loudest. Those songs full of angst in it? Those are the best ones! Believe me, after an hour, you will feel lighter somehow. And don’t forget to get yourself a mug [...]
You must listen to this!
Apologize of One Republic/Timbaland covered by Alejandro Manzano of Boyce Avenue. What do you think?
Man of the moment
I am going gaga over this man I found at YouTube! I am so in love with his voice! I will feature his videos in my next couple of posts. I really think he deserves to be known. His voice is incredible, I tell you! He did a cover of a number of songs. But [...]
Worried
I talked to my aunt last night. We were talking about the state of the economy. A lot of the locals are losing their jobs. Big companies, those you wouldn’t think of closing, are actually doing just that. She is worried that their company might follow suit. Which I seriously doubt because if they do, [...]
Special place
My friend, L, was walking along this avenue when she spotted a quaint shop. She thought it was selling discount furniture just like some shops around that place. It turned out to be a coffee shop. When we talked last weekend, she told me all about it and how she frequents it now. She is [...]
This week…
I am currently reading three books, a magazine I just purchased and an inspirational mini-novel from a friend. Alternately. I am like this ever since. I cannot stay put with a single book, even if it’s really a riveting one. Shifting from one book to another keeps me on the edge. It keeps me wanting [...]
Patience pays off
The Cheap Blinds cast shadow over the mug of coffee… I love going over my emails over a cup of coffee. I slept really well this morning. From two in the morning until almost nine. While having coffee this morning, I saw some good news waiting for me in my inbox. Just when I thought [...]
Good colleagues
I met with a couple of old colleagues last week. They were telling me that this is the best time to buy up commercial real estate properties. With so many business closing, prices of real estate properties are down. A boss of one of my colleagues is buying up a commercial complex in his province. [...]
Chapters and Pages
I am missing in action for a few days because I am busy with something… a new blog! Aside from coffee and blogging, my other addiction is books. I love reading a lot! I can lose myself in a favorite novel for days and days if I want to. Whenever I don’t feel like doing [...]
Coffee with fresh milk
I am suffering from hyperacidity. Caffeinated drinks should be avoided but since I am a coffee drinker I can’t totally say goodbye to caffeine. What I do now is a compromise. When I feel the acid burning my throat, I drink chilled fresh milk right away. So now, I mix fresh milk with my coffee. [...]
Coffee Mugs
I have this great obsession with coffee mugs. I love coffee mugs! I have three from Starbucks, one from Seattle’s Best, and a dozen or so from different persons, some I bought by myself. One of these days, I will take a photo of all my mugs to show you. Or one by one? That [...]
O's Quote of the Day
We need change! Change, however, does not occur magically. It represents individual and collective pioneering efforts. You can still choose to be a pioneer? And I hope you will do so. — Stephen Breyer Happy weekend everyone!
Starbucks Gateway
I had coffee with friends at Starbucks Gateway, Cubao. I ordered a Vanilla Black Tea Latte. This is the first time I tasted this one and I loved it! Another thing that I love is the location of that particular Starbucks branch. We opted to sit outside because it was really cold that afternoon. I [...]
Monday Musings #6
The real winners in life are the people who look at every situation with an expectation that they can make it work or make it better. – Barbara Pletcher In other words, think positive Happy Monday!
MM: One Step At A Time
I love One Step At A Time by Jordin Sparks so much! It’s my “pick me up” song. And it reminds me to take all things in my life one step at a time. Have a great Monday everyone!
The Inkheart Trilogy
Currently Reading… I now have the ebook versions of the Inkheart and Inkspell. That’s books 1 and 2 of the series, respectively. I can’t wait to start reading it! I will start reading it tonight. I hope it will be as interesting as what my ebook buddy told me. The Inkheart Trilogy is authored by [...]
The next big thing
An ebook buddy told me that she thinks the next big thing in young adult books is the Inkheart Trilogy by Caroline Funke. I am looking for it at Amazon books and when I found it, I am so tempted to buy the three books. I want to read reviews about it before I make [...]
O's Quote of the Day
Something for you to ponder on today… Our destiny changes with our thoughts; we shall become what we wish to become, do what we wish to do, when our habitual thoughts correspond with our desires. — Orison Swett Marsden There is no such thing as fate, someone told me once. We create it. Nothing’s written [...]
An alternate to reading
I talked to a friend of mine over a cup of steaming hot choco latte the other day. She told me that I need to loosen up. I am always to serious about things. She actually lent me her PS3, imagine that! Truth be told, I enjoyed playing games. I am not in the habit [...]
Hazelnuts and dance workouts
I love hazelnuts. Coated with chocolate, that is. I love munching on one after a meal. Just one. Last night, though, I munched on a couple after a hearty dinner. Boo! Now that I think about it, I believe I am in dire need of a couple of weight loss pills. A treadmill at home [...]
