Memories of summer
Summer is almost over and I haven’t made much memories of it yet. Oh, there were some but those weren’t truly good ones. Memories of a loved one passing… Being mad at friends over insensitivity… Fights with siblings… And some good ones of friends standing out from the rest for helping me out when I [...]
Cupcake and tea
I prefer cupcake and tea for my mid-afternoon snack. I try to drink just one cup of coffee a day for the past couple of weeks now due to my hyperacidity. So in the afternoon it’s tea for me as an alternative to my coffee. And I am liking it! Tea with milk and a [...]
Crying while aboard a PUV
I was shameless when hurt. That much I can tell you. There was once a time when a guy broke my heart. I thought he was the one already so when we had to break up, I really cried over it. That fateful day, I went home with swollen eyes from crying. It was almost [...]
In a cafe right now…
I am wishing I am in a cafe right now, just reading and not laboring over a project, and drinking coffee, of course. I want to be able to unwind and not worry. Drinking coffee somehow brings me a calmness that I don’t normally have in me. I don’t know if you also experience the [...]

Caffeine drip
One of the things I love about Eastwood City when I was still working there back in 2004 to 2006 was the fact that there were so many coffee shops around. At the ground floor of the building where my former office was located there’s a Seattle’s Best. Outside the building, just around the corner, [...]
An inspiration for today…
Let me tell you something about myself: I am not a big fan of beaches. In fact, the only time I feel the need to be near one is during the summer season or when I need some peace and quiet. A body of water symbolizes tranquility to me. I love the sound of waves [...]
Lesson learned
One of the things I learned throughout my mom’s sickness was to be always thankful for every little moment you get to spend with your love one. A private smile. A simple conversation. A cup of coffee shared. A memory reminisced together. Every single moment, huge and significant or otherwise, is something to be treasured [...]

F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
I think it’s perfectly safe to say that the hit US TV series FRIENDS made drinking coffee a fab habit! Remember Central Perk? A group of young professionals would converge in a cafe and would talk about their lives while drinking big cups of coffee. And then it caught on. Now drinking coffee with friends [...]
Bitter at Work
I’ve been telling my friends to find a new job and quit the ones they have now if they are feeling too bitter about it already. Or too stressed out and uninspired. A job is only a means to an end. It should rule your whole life. Remember, those who have given up their personal [...]
In escape
He was obviously worried about something. He didn’t know who to talk to. The only one that came to mind was the girl everyone called their best girl friend. One of the boys. She was sitting on the stairs in the fire escape. He found her there brooding. When she saw him, he saw how [...]
In my dreams
Maybe it’s because I was thinking about them that’s why my dream revolved around E. Even in my dreams she doesn’t want anything to do to me. Hai. Don’t get me wrong. I already moved on. I am done with that part of my life. I realized I have other friends that are just as [...]
Excuse to talk more
Don’t you just love having a conversation over a cup of coffee? My friends and I often go have coffee after dinner. It’s a really good excuse to talk some more. I know for some a cup of coffee meant some time for reading or just plain ‘me’ time, staring into space and all that. [...]
Starbucks Metal 2011 Planner
Yay! I already got my Starbucks Metal 2011 Planner! I chose metal because I thought since this year is the year of the metal rabbit so might as well choose that one. Plus, I kinda like the metal one because it goes well with the bag one of my best friends gave me last Christmas [...]
