Hot cup for you
For all of you who are still sleepy, or who wants something hot to drink, this coffee’s for you! One of the things that my parents passed on to me is the habit of drinking coffee in the morning and in the afternoon. It’s like a ritual at home that we can’t break. And you [...]

Many faces of coffee
Which one is yours? Have a great week everyone!
Decade after…
I had lunch with my friend. She’s working abroad and is just here for a brief visit. We haven’t seen each other in a decade! We were best friends back in high school along with another girl. It was so good to be able to catch up with what’s happening in her life. I’ve missed [...]
Milk tea it is!
I’m back to my milk tea obsession. I have been staying away from coffee for weeks now. My hyperacidity has come back in full force. Even a sip of coffee makes me gag. So when I need to wake myself up, I fix myself a cup of tea, put a dash of fresh milk in [...]
Coffeeholic
When I was still in the corporate world, coffee kept me going. I remember being reprimanded by the pantry assistant because I could down one whole carafe of brewed coffee. Hah! When I remember that, I roll over the floor laughing. Besides needing coffee due to lack of sleep, I also used it as an [...]
Coffee with friends next week
It’s been a long while since I went out to have coffee with my friends. Next week, I hope to be able to catch up with friends. I have reversed days where nights are mornings for me and vice versa. It’s hard to go out when you are all feeling sluggish and weak from lack [...]
Love for old music
Once upon a time, I was extremely drawn to old music. ’20s and ’50s music, specifically. There’s a local station that played songs from these era and I would really stay up and wait for the program to start around 11PM and would end around 4AM. It was one of those crazy periods of my [...]
Perfect combination
This is the best time for steaming mugs of coffee. It’s still raining hard outside and the weather has gone from hot to a bit cooler. I sit near the window and I am loving the sound of rain, drowning out the other unnecessary sounds around. I am listening to The Coffeehouse of Yahoo! Music [...]
Cup of coffee for workout
I was a regular of a well-known gym here in the city two years ago. The gym offers first class facilities and service. I loved the cinema room where a number of treadmills and other cardio-exercise equipments are located. I think I’ve watched a number of movies while I was a member of the fitness [...]
Freshly brewed coffee
There is something inspiring about waking up early in the morning and smelling the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. When I was in my teens, I remember going to Batangas at least once a month to visit the old man. Everyone would be waking up to the smell of kapeng barako being brewed… Smell the [...]
Kindred spirit
My good friend, Wella, recently gave birth to a healthy baby boy! Time flies so fast! Back in 2007, before I quit the corporate world, we met for lunch and we were talking about her desire to have a baby. And now, she already has her bundle of joy. Wella is a former co-worker. We [...]
Forgive and forget
How would you react when you see someone who has hurt you in the past and he or she greeted you like every thing’s peachy between the two of you? When this happened to me, I looked at the person, greeted her back but I didn’t smile. I don’t like to pretend everything’s okay when [...]
Help me understand, anyone?
Over a cup of steaming hot choco, Kelly and I were talking the other day about her mom. Her mom seems to be incapable of loving her right. Ever since I’ve known her, which is over a decade ago, I was witness in several instances where her mom would just raise her voice at her [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Coffee for one
Isn’t it obvious by now how much I love coffee? Coffee in the morning keeps me going for the rest of the day. Whenever I need some boost in my energy level, I drink a cup of my favorite latte or brewed coffee. In the morning, I brew a pot of coffee. Daily. But then [...]
Sunday afternoon coffee talks
Over a cup of coffee today, my friend and I talked about our lives. She was telling me about this guy she met over a year ago. He’s someone she’s comfortable being with. The friendship is starting to blossom into something else on her part. She is falling in love. But she’s hesitant to give [...]
