Where Do Broken Hearts Go? In Bo's Coffee

"Good things come to those who believe, better things come to those who are patient, and the best things come to those who don't give up"  -  my mantra when I'm in my bumpy days. Well, I'm in the mood of rekindling moments while having a cup of coffee.  It might be the weather that makes me overthink🤔 again. Or maybe because of the messages that pops-up in my notifications.  Anyway, it was a week ago when we had a very long weekend. We had to work big time, but it was all worth it. We were able to finish the day and had a fun-filled night party. We did sing and dance, we laugh out loud, we drank and had a party. (It is not all the time that we do it. - defense😜) . The night gives us time to be in nexus with people we look up to, as they are humble enough to hum and hop with us.  One of the songs they sang is "Where do broken hearts go?"

It's Valentine's Day!

 Happy Valentine's Day! Today, people are celebrating this special day of St. Valentine.  They prepared lunch or dinner, have dates in fine-dining restaurants, send and receive balloons and flowers with chocolates, went to beaches and different tourist destinations with their family to enjoy the occasion and celebrate the day.

KUNG HEI FAT CHOI

Today, 021221 is the Chinese New Year! And we greet everyone with  " Kung Hei Fat Choi".  But do you know what does it mean in English? From google, Kung Hei Fat Choi o r  “ Gong hei fat choy ” is the most common  Chinese New Year  greeting in Cantonese, which is spoken in parts of southern China and Hong Kong. It means,  “wishing you great happiness and prosperity.”  To celebrate the Chinese New Year, the most common thing the  Chinese do is  open the door and set off firecrackers right after they wake up in the morning of the Chinese New Year Day. For them, the sound of firecracker and fireworks is a sign that the New Year has arrived.  To know more about how Chinese New Year is celebrated, you could check articles  on the internet and you can find good readings about it. We did not celebrate Chinese New Year this year. No "tikoy", no dance parade, no food feast, but still  I'd like to greet everyone one " Gong hei fat choy " --wishing you all grea
