Country Style Coffee, Ham & Swiss and Bagel
One of the cheaper coffee-to-go here in Manila is the one from Country Style. When I saw a kiosk last week, I realized how I missed those early morning coffees at the mezzanine of the building I was working at. There were days when I go there alone to have coffee. Most of the time, [...]
Stroll and unwind
Sometimes, I just go to the mall to stroll and unwind. A cup of coffee is part of the unwinding part, of course Last week, I went to the mall for lunch. I was craving for something that time and I just had to get it. Anyway, I pass by the travel items section of [...]
Awkward habit
I was chatting with a friend a couple of nights ago. We were talking about a common friend who has a habit of asking for gifts. We were often told about this awkward habit of our common friend but we were not inclined to believe it before. Until the issue about the gift card came [...]
Perfect
When I hear a song I like, I write it down and look for the video in YouTube. One of the songs I heard a few minutes ago was Perfect by True Faith. I just love this song so much! I remember hearing it even before it became popular. If I remember it right, this [...]
Filthy rich
A local celebrity allowed the crew of an entertainment magazine to photograph six of his eleven luxury cars. The photo was publish in the entertainment magazine that sold 200,000 copies, a first in local entertainment publication. Out of curiosity, I bought a copy. Did you know that the whole time I was reading about his [...]
Eavesdropping a bit
We were seated in this cafe, my sister and I, when we overheard an old woman and a younger man talking about a no exam life insurance. The guy was encouraging the old lady to go get one and to make him a beneficiary. I normally don’t eavesdrop in other people’s conversations. But this time, [...]
Craving for…
Iced Coffee with lots of cream on it! Yum! The weather in Manila right now is terribly hot. I have one electric fan all to myself, steadily blowing air to me. But it’s still hot. Muggy actually. An iced coffee really sounds heavenly at this time. While listening to a funky song and thinking of [...]
Mesmerizing moves
I’ve been looking at the same page for hours. Nothing comes out of it. I can’t get anything from it. Music videos are the culprit. Been listening for hours now. I chose some dance videos and I’ve been watching. Now that someone is asking me about GA auto insurance, all I can think about is [...]
Perfect partner for my coffee and book combo
I found the perfect partner for my coffee and book combo… a squashy couch that I have in mind for some time now! It is a best buy considering I was able to buy it at more than half the price it is being sold at the mall. I love it! I am all for [...]

How did I spend my Valentine's Day?
I spent it with Boyce Avenue! Boyce Avenue, as I have written in a previous post, came here to Manila for a series of free shows at SM Malls. They started their series of shows at SM Cebu last February 12, SM Mall of Asia on February 13, and at SM North Edsa The Block [...]
Being in love…
I am a hopeless romantic. And most of the time, stupid when it comes to love. Being in love means I would give the guy my 101%, sometimes it would mean if I could buy gold and give it to him, if I know that will make him happy, I’d gladly do it. I know [...]
I will tell you a secret…
I am a closet Britney Spears fan! I love Womanizer a lot. When you listen to it, you instantly feel like dancing. I swear this song will make you get up and shake that booty! Love it! I love the beat of her songs. I don’t know the exact lyrics of her songs but I [...]

Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it. – Roald Dahl Chance encounters aren’t necessarily accidental; in fact, you can make your own luck by opening yourself up to the [...]
