Start of a new month...June

Every day is a chance to start anew. Every day is a new beginning. While trite, the previous sayings 

are quite true, and on this month of June I have decided to take them to heart. I have looked at 

my life and have come to the realization that I'm making some pretty big mistakes. 

These mistakes don't just impact me, but others.So time for me to have a look back 

on my list on things that I need to break which previously posted here in my blog.(here)

To start a good vibe for the new month. I meet my two girlfriends  in a different days. 

They are the channel of my love and affection which act as a big part of me. 

Without love and affection life would be cold and dark:)

And the best way to bond?  Shop at Schu; dinner at Ween Nam Kee : they have the best chicken and UCC Coffee Cafe:)

Everyone needs friends for different reasons. Maybe you need friends so that you are 

not alone in the afternoons when you get down and start thinking negative thoughts.
Maybe your neighbor needs friends so that they have someone to dote on and take care of. 

We all need companionship, love, and acceptance, and that is why friends, and the friendships

 we form are so important.

To Liz aka thereissomethingaboutmaria and to my travel buddy Cristine...
both of you are like pair of shoes you make me happy.
I can just toss both of you into my suitcase and  I know I will look fabulous
no matter what the weekend throws at me.

Have a good start of the month guys!

Life is good!

Simple pleasure

To make my day much more pleasant is to find little, simple pleasures and sprinkle them throughout my day.

Life is just the novel you write on your coffee break. 

and your novel is just a collection of lies you'd like to remember. 

and all that you remember, is the distance from here

The only reason any of it exists, is so that you can have fun while you're here.

A dinner for 2

I just had a wonderful night. A late dinner with a good friend to celebrate his new work, new wardrobe - It took us a whole Saturday to revamp his look. So goodbye to loose shirts and jeans. Hello Polished look.

We had our dinner at Cafe Go-Go. The place is not your typical coffee shop with its different shape wood tables, comfy coach, big chairs and carefree interior accents. The interior lighting is relaxing, but not to the point of making you doze off. It reminds me of my fave third place, when I was trying to be scholarly and finish my master degree for MBA. So I guess this place would be on my top list. A place where I can just relax, play, and bond with the people closest to me.

Thank you to my good friend for the lovely night and for showing me to never be afraid of changes in life..to embrace it, enjoy it, to improve my life.

I realized that we can change some things that we think we can not. The key to being able to change things that seem out of our control is to open our mind to alternatives. When we start looking for alternative solutions we may not be able to find big changes but small ones can help.

To my good friend, a big thanks and goodluck!

Life is good!

Loving myself

Yesterday morning I was hoping that I can visit BRO. So wake up early in the morning but still  I failed. I took the wrong bus so I ended up having a cup of joe and sweets at Krispy kreme perfect for the cold weather.

 I’m not a big fun of sweets but Krispy Kreme are completely and utterly heavenly for every donut lovers. A store dedicated entirely to supplying sweet toothed customers. They are famous for their traditional glazed ring doughnut. It is plain but simply offers the best taste. The dough has such a light consistency that it basically melts in your mouth.

 

 They are offering…a choice of classic Krufin or Cinnamon Pull Apart with brewed signature coffee for 99 php/ $2.25 such a good deal.  I’m a cinnamon lover, so anything with cinnamon, I always need to try. 

Cinnamon Pull Apart has a hole in the middle and it’s filled with cream topped.  It wasn’t too sweet and the muffin was really soft, like it’s even melting in my mouth along with the cream. 

The coffee is rich in aroma and it tastes a real coffee!

I seated on the corner and realized its been long since the last time I dated myself..Yes!

My Self ! and I’m loving every minute of it. It’s like embracing the inner you.

So for this year, I would schedule time with myself. I would literally take myself out on a date and spend that time totally focused on myself. It’s my time. We spend so much time and energy focused on others that we forget to recharge the source of that energy. It is only when you are well that you can have the energy and internal resources to make a positive difference and help others. This is a simple, yet powerful concept that can dramatically improve your well being, effectiveness and mental health.

For a change this year, love yourself! You deserve it!

Life is good!
