The Saddest Part of Blogging..

I was looking for a blog post here in my blog.. something about painting and how I can’t paint again after giving birth.. it’s a touching post.. or at least for me.. but I can’t find it!

As I was browsing my blog..nostalgia hit me.. you know, like looking in a photo album.. same feelings, same sentiments.. then I came across a post about one of my kids..

and my heart melts. no, more like, it scattered into pieces.. I cry.. reading that blog post made me realized how much time was lost between me and that boy of mine.. it was a very sad realization.. my heart ached for that time.. for the lost time with him..

I know there is no use crying over it.. but I cannot help it.. there’s a lump in my throat, part of me wants to scream and be angry at myself.. what have I done? too much on my hands back then..

It was a sad chapter in my life..even if I am now trying to make it up to him, I know times like this would always come.. and it would always be the same.. the lump in my throat.. that, wanting to scream..

Nescafe Classic Kada Umaga Habit

Bakit ka ba nagkakape?

I asked my husband as we sip our Nescafe Classic coffee (mine is creamy while his is black) in our porch (naks porch daw oh!)..he answered: habit. As expected.. that’s the kind of answer you’ll get for someone who is not romantic, who in 13 years of being together never even bothered giving me flowers. Then I went on asking him about flowers and why, even though we were in flower capital of the Philippines he never even bought me single petal for me. Of course I know the answer to that..asking him err more like teasing him is like drinking coffee, it’s a habit.

We start our morning like that.. wait, let me rephrase that, he starts his morning like that, while for me, that would be my second cup. My first cup of coffee was earlier. That cup I called, my moment of peace. Taken during dawn.. alam mo iyong oras na nag aagaw ang dilim ta liwanag? That’s my favorite time of the day, the best time to enjoy my first cup of coffee 🙂

and this is how the first cup is done:

smell the coffee.. blow a little.. sip a little.. enjoy the taste and look around..
haaaaaayssss.. peaceful, quiet morning… this is how drinking coffee should be..
smell the coffee.. blow a little.. sip a little.. enjoy the taste and look around..
haaaaayysss.. thankful for moments like this..and thankful for the day that’s about to come..

I’d do that until I had the last drop of my coffee..

sarap talaga mag kape kada umaga no?

pero mas sasarap pa ang umaga mo with Nescafe Classic Kada Umaga:

With Nescafe Classic Kada Umaga, ako at ang friends ko ang headline! ang bongga lang di ba?

You can personalize your Kada Umaga content by picking the news you want to wake up every morning.. think of it as your very own newspaper.. hindi pa ba sasarap ang umaga while sipping your Nescafe Classic and reading news that you only want to read?

You can also share the news to your friends through Facebook and Twitter and make their mornings as good as yours.. and not only that, you will gain points every time you use the app and share the good news (accumulated points can be exchange to Nescafe goodies such as mugs, shirt and a lot more!)

And last but not the least, you can also publish your newspaper and save it in your desktop (see photo above)…

Now I know where my third cup of coffee will be… reading my Kada Umaga newspaper, where else?

Comfort Food!

On our way to Greenhills, hubby asked why I love Sbarro’s Baked Ziti..

It’s my favorite pasta dish! Whenever I think of pasta, that’s the only thing that comes to my mind, specially when I am not feeling well. The taste is so simple and yet it never fails to uplift my spirit.. top it with meatball + chili flakes.. ohh that’s what heaven is all about!

That’s what I had after spending two days in bed (virus argh!) After finishing the plate, I was back to my old self.. alive and kicking! LOL

Aside from Sbarro’s Baked Ziti..here are some of the foods that I consider my comfort foods:

Sinampalukang manok with kalamansi, fish sauce and lots of chili dip..

Sinigang na Baboy na sobrang asim

Rai Rai Ken’s noodle with lots of wasabe (the best yan pag may sipon)

Siomai with lots of chili garlic

Bulalo with kalamansi, fish sauce and lots of chili dip

Shawarma (spicy sauce please!)

Err, obviously, it’s the chili that gives the kick.. hindi naman ako mahilig sa maanhang.. pero when I am not feeling well, I crave for spicy food..It makes me feel better.. eh di ba nga may study na pepper can heal you.. baka psychological lang to hahaha but yes, chili flakes and company is a paracetamol to me 🙂
