Kaulayaw

          Kaulayaw  is a Tagalog word for "close companion". And, as a coffee drinker, coffee is always my  "kaulayaw"  when doing something or just thinking of anything.      But do you know that there is actually a coffee shop named  "Kaulayaw Cafe"?  I only have known it through my sister. It is shown on her vlog/youtube channel. You can watch it here :      The Kaulayaw Cafe is located along Sumulong Highway in Antipolo City.   It has a very nice interior resonant with the kind of cafes or restaurants you can find in Tagaytay or in Baguio. The third floor has an open-air dining area where guests could feel the unruffled waft and they could also immerse in the green scenery of Rizal Province as well as the skyline of Metro Manila.      The Cafe serves coffee made of coffee beans from Mountain Province such as in Sagada and Benguet and they also have their own blend the “ Kaulayaw ”. Coffee pouches and other coffee accessories are also available f

BANGKOK, THAILAND 2: @ THE MARKET

 -part 2 of Bangkok Trip Our first travel together was so much fun. And I admit we were missing someone then.  It was actually a month to be celebrated. It was our birth and anniversary month. I turned 40 and it was our 15th. My daughter had her staycation in our hotel (we stayed in Novotel Bangkok Platinum Pratunam ) She has to wait for me to finish my training before we could go out and explore Bangkok. A glimpse of our Hotel Room: the view of the "MARKET" from our Hotel Room I went to Bangkok to have a week of work-related training and our only chance to go around Bangkok is in the afternoon from 5pm onwards. It is just good to note that our Hotel is in the middle of the Bangkok shopping area and nearby good tourist spots/ attractions. We travel a day before the training and we arrived early in the morning, we had to take a na

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?" And they are actually all pointing it at me.  It was only then when it came to my senses that it is already more th

BANGKOK, THAILAND 2019 Trip (1): With Seattle's Best Coffee in PH

Bangkok, Thailand 1:  This is the first part of our Bangkok Trip.  Let us travel together and have a cup of coffee as we go along. June 2019, the first airplane ride of Clare.  I had a one-week training in Bangkok, Thailand last June 2019, I tag along with my daughter. It was her first time traveling abroad and it was also her first airplane ride. I saw the excitement as we wait for our flight to be called.                                             Going to the waiting area But before going to the waiting area, we need to freshen up and have some coffee first, so we tried Seattle's Best Coffee at the Airport. Clare ordered the cool and refreshing Java Chip Javaluca. The taste is good and really stimulating, for we need to be awake while waiting for our flight (we had a night flight). But do you know where Seattle's Best Coffee originated? From our google friend, Seattle's Best Coffee  is an American coffee retailer and wholesaler based in Seattle, Washington.  It starte

White Coffee at Johor Bahru

  Let's brew in! It's almost 2 years now when we got the chance to try the perfect blend of   OldTown White Coffee  at Johor Bahru in Malaysia.  The taste of the White Coffee is just perfect and it compliments the weather at that time. The aroma made us want to have another cup and actually made us bought packs of the instant coffee of the brand. It comes with different flavors that you could surely enjoy. Here are some of the pictures we got when we tried the coffee.                                                                       with my friends, Jane, Ann and Lyn                                                                        our cup of the OldTown White Coffee                                                                 when we are checking the Menu Since we are already in the area, we did not of course waste our chance to explore and took some photos. I wish to visit again the place and try some other perfect blends of coffee.
