 -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

(Spoken Poetry) Nangarap ako ng isang masayang Pamilya. Happy Family kung kami ay tawagin.  Sinikap ko na maging maayos. Ngunit sabi nga nila kung hindi ukol hindi bubukol.  Kung para sayo, para sayo, anuman ang mangyari. Maraming naganap. Ilang taon din naman ang naging pagsasama. Kadalasan mga araw naging maligaya dahil kasama sya. Buo ang pamilya. Pero kahit ano pa ang gawin mo kung magluluko, magluluko, kung mang iiwan iiwanan ka talaga.  Nagmakaawa ka na, nagpakababa pa, sa huli ikaw pa nga ang may sala. Masyadong masakit hanggang ngayon ramdam na ramdam pa.  Panahon na ang lumipas, mahaba na pala.  Pero damang dama dahil sobrang lalim pala. Andun ang takot hindi lang para sa sarili pero para rin na rin sa anak Sa tuwina ang saya parang pilit na lang.  Nakikita mo kasi sa mga mata ng anak mo ang lungkot.  Nararamdaman mo ang kanyang lumbay.  Nasasaktan ka kasi pakiramdam mo parang wala na syang pangarap.  Takot na takot ka  na ang tanging nagagawa mo na lang ay umiyak.  Bakit nga

(In Sissy's Vlog (#1))  Sissy Cafe Quattro. This vlog was uploaded 2 years ago on my sister's Youtube Channel , it just so happen that I'm playing her playlist, and I came across this content on coffee. While watching, I can't wait to try it myself and enjoy the refreshing taste and aroma of the coffee they are serving. The look of the sliders and the frappes is so inviting. I hope I could have the chance to try and have a taste of all they are serving. You may watch it  here . or you may play the video below: Enjoy watching with your own blend of 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

  When we try to skip a portion of the daily happenings of our life, we often call our friends and go somewhere else to talk about anything and try to release whatever uncertainties we had in our thoughts. We have this place we often visit to have a sip of coffee and chat about things we seldom talk and share about in our chatbox. We always try new flavors but of course, we have our all-time favorite, the Salted Caramel Macchiato. How could I forget the taste, it's sweet and salty. And I can't stop comparing it to the friendship that we have, to the things we used to do, to the place we traveled, to the food we ate together, and to the things we shared that made us cry and laugh together.  I actually miss them and I wish we could have again the luxury of doing things we used to. I am hoping that my qualms about what is happening now will end soon. Our life is sometimes sweet, sometimes bitter. At times it could be salty, but no matter how it is, don't forget to be grateful

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

 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. Others received fancy gifts as well as long and sweet messages. But of course, not everyone got the same. It might only a simple and ordinary day that will just pass by. But do you know the origin of this special day?  In some of my readings, it says that this day actually came from a platonic sacrificial love displayed by the most honored Saint Valentine. Well, it is not actually a spark from romantic love. In History, during the 3rd Century,  Saint Valentine , who was a Catholic priest, lived in Rome.  In his time,   many Romans were converting to Christianity, but Emperor Claudius II was a pagan and created strict laws about what Christians were allowed to
