Bravery: Admitting that you can't do something!

I can't make my own coffee!

Coming from a person who really loves her coffee, this statement is almost unbelievable. I was once shy to admit it but I finally did!

We are all human beings and we are not perfect even if we all want to be perfect.  There will really be things / traits that we can't have and the best thing to do is to move forward and admit it.

However, admitting that you can't do something should not stop there!
It then should be the start of learning something new!


I have tried several times but I just can't seem to copy that perfect mix that Sweets is doing for me.  Thus I always rely from Sweets to make that coffee for me.  I know, if I will practice I can learn how it is perfectly mixed but who would want to learn if you know that someone else is lovingly making it for you?


Tamad lang!


Bottom line: In our everyday grind, not all the time we are the hero.  There will always come a time when other people are greater than us and that's fine.  Even I do not want to live a perfect life, because a perfect life means not living at all!

That night at Cafelandia

It's one of those nights where we want to relax and share snobs and laughters! 

* Yes you've read it right, "snob", because we will not last an hour without talking sarcastically".  Without sarcasm then it's not a good conversation for us!

A new cafe was openned at San Pablo and its right beside Shakeys at Maharlika Highway. 

A cozy haven where you can have the perfect coffee break from your busy weekend! We figured to go and gather there because we (Diaz Family) are all together! 

Not your ordinary Cafe because aside from the ambiance, you get great coffee, tea, picca and pastries on a very affordable price! 

(It will always be a plus points for me).

Hmmm.. I can smell Love! 

I wonder where the other cookies went? Hehe! I love the coaster! 

Then here comes more fillers!! 

I can't wait to bring Sweets here!! Waaah!!

Monday Inspiration: One rainy afternoon!

Yesterday, we were just supposed to have a frap for the hot afternoon. We asked Reo and Joel to go head home and we will just follow because we are still rushing for our candy crash marathon.   

A couple of minutes later, we noticed the rain and it was pouring so hard.. Hmm what to do next? We went out and were pondering if we will brace the rain and run fast! I mean very fast!

We then sat just outside Starbucks and I got a bit irritated bacause of the rain. I told Sweets that it would be best if we stay inside the cafe and wait until the rain stops.   Sweets insisted to stay outside, he said that if we were outside we will be able to see if it stopped raining.  Me, still not convinced, looked inside the cafe and saw a sofa widely waiting for us.  Then I said, "punta ako sa loob don kita intayin". Finally Sweets agreed to go back inside. :D

It was more comfortable to wait inside rather than outside. It was noisy and hot outside, while its cozy and cold inside. Perfect place to wait for the rain to stop. 

Thirty minutes later, it's still raining! I guess this is one of the longest thirty minutes as far as raining is concerned.  It's okie if it rains, only if we were in the comforts of our home! Sigh! But what can we do? We had no other choice but to stay here!

Rather than hate myself for not bringing an umbrella or blame Sweets for not bringing an umbrella, I chose to be silent.  I do not want to linger on "what could have been done".

Instead I made myself busy with Candy Crash and FB! After a few minutes, I lost all my lives in CC and have browsed through all FB posts.. Hmmm.. what's next. Then I just patiently waited and did my favorite thing! Take pictures!!

This is a very simple scenario that you can apply in almost any bad situation.  If something is not working out the way we planned it to be, then we better be cool!  Instead of focusing on "What could have been" we need to focus on the possible solution or work around.

I am a coffee person (if you versus it with hot chocolate) but not as addict as some of my colleagues.  I like it simple, three in one coffee mix is the perfect one for me and my husband makes the perfect cup of coffee for me! 

I have read that every day coffee is not good and so on and so forth but just recently I read something from Readers Digest that made coffee even more interesting.

According to Sanjiv Chopra "Coffee is truly a life-saving miracle drug".  Though he says it's still a "scientific mystery" how a simple cup of coffee works its wonders in the body, large epidemiological studies repeatedly verify its astonishing benefits. Some recent research highlights:

>> More than three cups a day lower women's risk of developing the most common skin cancer by 20%

>> More than six cups a day cuts men's risk of dying from prostate cancer by 60%

>> Drinking at least one cup of coffee per day lowers the risk of stroke for women by up to 25%

>> Drinking at least two cups every day reduces a woman's chance of becoming depressed up to 20%

To minimize kilojoules, Chopra recommends you "drink black, or at most put a little skim milk in it".  The benefits from decaf may not be as prodigious, so stick with regular if you can tolerate the buzz. 

While most people have one or two coffee, Chopra has at least four cups a day himself.

Another note about coffee that I found interesting and good to know is from Nescafe.

Although I am not a big fan of black coffee, at least I know that at some point it can also be beneficial for our health!

Let's drink to that!
