The Coffee Makers

Happy Mornings with coffee @'L Fisher Hotel, Bacolod City, Philippines.

This one's pretty cool. Pressed coffee @Dova Brunch Cafe, Lapaz, Iloilo City, Philippines.

Some people are just so lucky to have parents that can send them to school.

I visited one of my favorite coffee shops yesterday and thought about some things that exist in the society. I remembered how we spent most of our times in that cafe burning our midnight candles. I also recalled the staff and crew we met their who were able to witness us growing.

When I was drinking my favorite coffee, they caught my attention. Today, I have 2 professional licenses and I thought of how lucky I am to have those. I am wondering right now what runs into their minds. Are they happy for us for what we have achieved? Are they planning to seek more educational opportunities, but unfortunately most of them can't? Are they fulfilled of what they have right now?

Yes, we cannot have everything in life. Some goes up, down, or some remains just the same. However, that doesn't really matter. Seriously... as long as you live a life that makes you happy, so be it. We are all still blessed. The opportunities doesn't stop coming and when it rains, it pours. :) Embrace every life's event and its all up to us on how we deal with it. :)

Part 2 - Hidden Treasures of Antique: Malalison Island

One fine sunny Sunday morning turned into a memorable day for us - me, Yen, Jucee and Kevin. Wonderful sunny morning - best time to conquer the island. Against the light. What's important is the background. Hehe. :) The pump boat ride was fun and smooth sailing. Our trip was blessed for it did not rain, hassle free and what we felt was all excitement. The boat can be rented from 700+ or more and will assist you back and forth Culasi town. We brought some breakfast meals for our lunch and thanks to Kevin for that! Malalison Island, Province of Antique Touch down. The white sand and the clear cold waters were very inviting that time and to go there after summer is a good idea. Haha... We owned the Island until... look who I met! My elementary and college friends. :) Sim and Leomel were my elementary classmates while Cherry was my college classmate. That was really surprising! I and Cherry was planning before hand to explore the Island with our very dear frie

Manila Stories 3: Street Foods in Manila

I was once fond of buying streetfoods. Turning back time, it was also one of the enjoyed past times I had with my friends. Street foods are ready to eat goodies sold in public places. Often, from a portable food booth, a cart or some in food trucks. According to a study from Food and Agriculture Organization, 2.5 billion people eat street food everyday. Today, people try and purchase street food for some reasons: It is sold for a reasonable price, it is flavorful, to experience an ethnic and authentic cuisines and some for a nostalgic experience. In the Philippines, street foods are very common too. Here are some of Pinoy favorite street foods to choose from: Calamares: deeply fried squid cut as rings covered dipped in egg and flour.
