Its Just Too Hard To Say NO

Yes, corny as it may sound, it was just too heartbreaking to say no to Starbucks. Hubby and I have been binging on Starbucks frappes for 3 straight days. We are never satisfied with the Tall size and would always order the Grande (never dared to try Venti, one of these days perhaps). Upon seeing the receipt (after all the add ons that cost P30 plus each), I get so guilty knowing we spent so much again over a beverage. But once the Barista calls my name, a devilish smile slowly forms on my lips and just one sip of my specially concocted beverage makes me forget even my name (Who am I? Hehehe!). Its feels like you're in heaven. I can almost see hubby's expression of satisfaction when he sips his trademark, Caffee Mocha. But.... just this afternoon, I painfully uttered the word NO when he asked me to go ahead and order even just the Strawberries and crème frappe (our new shared fave). I suddenly realize that its just too much and too expensive (that is to make it a daily habit). Even when we are almost broke (meaning Starbucks is not within the daily budget), it seems like out of magic more than a hundred extra bucks appear in our pocket awaiting to be joyfully spent. Anyhoo, I am willing to wait this weekend to have my Starbucks fix. Maybe a White Choco Mocha this time?

My fave among the signature blends is the Green Tea Frappucino with Java Chips or perhaps the Blackberry Green Tea. I've tried the Green tea Latte but it did not taste really good. I would prefer the Chai Lattes of Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf instead. Oh by the way, hubby says Coffee Bean's Iced Mocha is his new bestfriend hehehe.

When ordering a Starbucks drink, you will never go wrong with their Frappuccinos. Did you know that Frappe actually means a blend of milkshake with cappucino? You can choose from the Blended Frappuccino, Light Blended and Blended crème.

A brief history about Starbucks and Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf:

It is said that all the Starbucks chain in the Philippines are actually owned by the Rustans' Group. The Starbucks Coffee house is the largest coffee house in the whole world established in 1971 in Seattle, Washington by three partners (two teachers and a writer). Their revenue for the year 2007 alone is US$9.411 Billion.



Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is a coffee chain which originated from Los Angeles, California. It first opened in 1963. Its revenue for the year 2007 is US$130.1 Million.



So what are you waiting for, order now!!!! Btw, this is not a paid opps of these two coffee chains. :p

Meeh, just ranting...

They said there are only two kinds of people on earth, I've read different versions of it but the famous line from Indira Gandhi caught my attention, which states:  There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who just take the credit.

If you were to choose, where do you fall? Better to be on the group who works to earn from it because there is less competition rather than when you fall under the group that takes credit, for I assure you that competition is steep there. People would want to outsmart each other to receive the glory that was not even meant for them. But personally, I think I fall under the group that works, I love working and working though it can sometimes be so tiring, who am I to say that I am not awaiting for recognition or to get some kind of credit for a hard work that I HAVE DONE? Yes, I deserve it if I have worked for it. But never would I attempt to take credit on something I did not work hard for.

But you know what, more often than not, the people around you are most likely people just like you on a different level though. That is not to say that if people next to you have a specific bad habit means you are just like them. All I am saying is we were all created equally, just with different personalities.

hmmm i am getting too boring now. Just ranting, I am too sleepy. I just want to write and write without any specific topic in mind. The entire day, I was just thinking about putting up for our own retirement plan. We need to consider it specially if you were not guaranteed by your company that you'll be receiving something in exchange of your long tenure and loyalty. I wanted to start planning for the retirement plan and soon pay for it but lots of things hinder it. There are those existing bills that need to be paid on a regular basis, mortgages, everyday expenses and others. WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! Why can't just life be so easy? Or am I just making it difficult? hehehe. I miss being young, where you dont have to worry about everything. You can easily be happy, you were never really troubled. Everything is being handed to you but everyone needs to grow up including ME- I know.

I remember when I was just about to finish college, I envisioned myself working in a big company, working my way up in the corporate ladder. Earning and saving a lot so I can afford to retire early-that is before I reach my 30s. But it seems impossible now- coz I am nearing my 30s! EEEEEEEHHHHH. Reality bites!!!!! But it can never be too late right? And dreaming is free. So I wish to dream big. I SEE MYSELF RETIRING at.......35? 40? Oh whatever just earlier than 60, okay?

Who wants to be a millionaire?

So when do you expect to receive your first million? Many of us gets to earn more than what we can spend and yet we don't stash away a little extra for our own savings. Why is that so? Well, well, well, I can answer that (being guilty of this myself). Primary reasons are the malls. There are many things pleasing to our eyes that even before payday comes, we automatically allocate our extra money(salary less payables) to buying things that catches our fancy. Others have a very expensive sports that they maintain, thus saving is out of question. There are many of us who pays for education, mortgages, real estate payables and others. With the little remaining cash we have on hand, how can we be a millionaire without retorting to “lotto-luck”?

The trick is simple. Just learn to save, no matter how little it is, through time whether it be sooner or later, it will reach millions. Whether it is just a piggy bank savings (tee hee! I have this!) or hard cold moolah, it doesn't matter. It applies the same principle of savings. Sometimes we tend to be impatient awaiting for our money to yield high fast. I bet some of you would somehow take it as a competition on who gets to achieve it first. It's not really the race, it's on how honest you are and on actually getting there while you enjoy the journey to reaching your million (note: beware of those who do it illegally, there are a lot of millionaires who acquired their money out of illegal ways but there are also those who earn it in a decent way).

I on the other hand has been thinking of different ways to reach my first million. Which I think would take more time. I've been thinking of a business that would expedite it and yet I haven't decided on anything yet that is worth risking. I do side jobs which would add to my savings( which at the same time serves as a security money in case fortuitous events would happen like sickness, calamity, blah blah blah blah or that really nice bag that I've been lusting over for months-JOKE! ). I don't mind slaving myself, if the reason for it means more security in the future but I make sure that I still enjoy, when I don't and I get so pressured, I make it a point to tap out. We also tried investing in mutual funds (this is very risky and yet others really succeed) but turns out our current market is not performing well. So we need to buy out before we are face with the fact that we don't have any remaining money for emergency anymore. I wish I could be a little bit more of a risk taker, but if you are not really a wealthy person( that you have SUPER EXCESS money that you can just invest anywhere), you won't really afford to do it. Yet I am still devoting a particular day to shop around for stocks that would perform well in the stock market.

But you know what? I really want to buy my own car. It is really one of my personal goal. It just feel so ironic that I think about buying a car and yet I am thinking about achieving our first million. How can that be? Alas, the answer is to delay your gratification. Yes, Ace! Delaying Gratification is the answer. You can buy that dream car once you have your million on hand (just trying to convince myself here). It's worth waiting for.


Its not all about materialistic thinking here. Let's be thankful for all our blessings. We can always enjoy what we have. Don't just focus on earnings. Just atleast save a little. They say that its best to save atleast 10-20% of your salary, if possible. I know that I am on my way to earning my 1 million. Just start small yet think BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Imagine you are holding it now. Visualize. Yeah the SECRET way. :)

Pictures Galore Part 2

I had a little RNR (rest and relaxation) last weekend and took some pictures which I would like to document in my blog. Eventhough I love reading ( to the point where it takes me time to take a bath because I read every magazines in the bathroom and even read the instructions at the back of my shampoo) I am more attracted to blogs and reading materials with pictures. This is the reason why I would often associate a posting with a picture to keep it more interesting.

These two pictures below have nice catchy names:

Claw daddy with real big claws on the resto's entrance


Meet my feet- a super nice name. Who would want to meet my feet? (heheheh yuck!)

Other pictures below have alternative meanings

Nach-o-fast = Not so fast

Landi & Nuti= really I never thought that there is a shoe name such as landi and naughty (it makes me think that when you buy their shoes means your kinda promiscuous)

Rest toe Run= this shoe store has a very refreshing concept. Imagine there are table set ups, likened to a fine dining and you'll see shoes displayed on plates. cool!

When you do RNR, of course food would always be the highlight of the event. Finally, after long months I was able to eat my favorite Crunchwrap from Taco bell. Previously, you can only grab this when you are on St Luke's area. I wish it would be available here in Pampanga. I had the crunchwrap and tried the cheesy fiesta potato for the first time. It was so good. It obviously has a cheese and a sour cream.

Crunchwrap and potatoes

Hubby on the other hand had a Big Brother's burger and onion rings.

I've previously posted the nurse like clothing from Louis Vuitton by Richard Prince. See this one worn by Naomi Campbell. I think it was nice of LV to feature Marc Jacobs and Richard Prince.

Other intricate designs of Richard Prince's Big City Dark Collection
best seller among richard prince's bag designs, yeah u are reading it right, the phrases are printed on the bag

Monogram Bonbon

Monogram Motard - posh!

I want all of these. When will I get rich?

Beaute Babble and hottest new collections

I was surfing some blogs yesterday and I chance upon a blogger where she was blogging about make ups. Personally, I am not a make up lover but I do have my own sets of make up. I even have this limited edition of Estee Lauder face powder which kinda look posh that you would just want to stare at it instead of using it. I had them just last year after my wedding. I even spend money just to buy some of them without using any ( I can only live with face powder and lip balm or gloss). After my wedding, I suddenly had this urge to be a make up artist, that's the reason why I collected some make ups. There was even a time where I would just approach my mom and ask her if I can do her make up. But this fancy did not last, still I kinda envy those who can take time to primp and put on all these colors on their faces. But hubby said I look better without make up, teehee.

There's this new cosmetic company that produces the coolest and hippest make ups, its Paul and Joe Beaute. Their collections include colorful confections that would surely make your heart swell. It is a must buy for every make up lovers out there.

For a little background, Paul & Joe was first launched as a clothing company by Sophie Albou and named the company after her two sons. This was in 1995, by 2002, she decided to expand her empire from couture to cosmetics. All her creations whether it be clothing or cosmetics embody a sophisticated yet fun loving femme power.

Below are their limited edition sweetie products:

I so love Lacoste. Has anyone seen their new bag collections? I was in Shang the other day and if I just had enough money with me( except that I am still on a bag buying ban) I would have brought home one of their lovely arm candies.

Reviews and Birthday

I am a believer and I am proud of it! Ilog Maria products really deliver. Since I am so susceptible to different illnesses, I opted to use their products as a substitute for taking different medications. At least this one is safe since it is made from natural honey.

Below are my feedbacks on the Ilog Maria products that I have already tried.

1. Virgin Honey- I’ve been a strong believer of honey’s benefits whether it be for beauty or health purposes. Other than using it on my face and hair, I also use it as a natural sweetener on my tea. Good thing about Ilog Maria’s virgin honey is that it comes in its purest form, unheated and unfiltered. So you are guaranteed that the freshness is sealed on its container. For those who work in the graveyard shift, it greatly helps because it feeds and heals our liver and can boost our energy. It can also cure asthma, flu, cuts, burns, fatigue, anemia and a lot of things.

Normally, I take a table spoon of this before breakfast (plus a dosage of bee propolis). When you do this regularly, it helps in cleaning your digestive tract.

2. Bee Propolis-they said this is the only powerful probiotic available in the country. A powerful antioxidant. When you say probiotic, what does it mean? Probiotics are good bacterias that promote good digestion and strengthen our immune system. When your have a weak immune system, you are prone to different illnesses, you get sick and viruses can attack you easily.

When you take the propolis, it may taste a little bit eeeky, not that much, can be likened to sipping a lambanog. Its because the propolis was made with aged organic coconut brandy. It is said to be effective in the abatement of rhinitis, tuberculosis, bronchitis, laryngitis, gingivitis (and other illnesses with “TIS” j/k!) also with ulcer and infection of the urinary tract, kidney and gall bladder.

Take about 1 ml or 25 to 30 drops of bee propolis, if possible with your virgin honey (if not available, with juice, water or milk)

Since it is also safe for children, those who are 1 yr and above can take the same dosage as that with the adult’s dosage. If you feel that you are about to get sick and you feel the symptoms of getting colds or fever, take the doses every hour.

3. Bee Pollen- this one really tastes kinda weird. I haven’t eaten a bird or chicken feeds, yet I think it kinda taste the same with bee pollen. But don’t mind the taste because it has great benefits. It is good as a multivitamin supplement and gives you energy. Did you know that it can also prevent prostate cancer for men? Uhuhhh. Convince now? I normally take this before meal.

4. Feminine Wash- I so love this product! Promise! It is also made from propolis gold so it makes it antifungal. It has this fresh feeling after you use it. It smells and looks like a glycerin soap. I think it is not available n liquid form yet. It is a must buy for every girls out there.

5. Propolis Cider Liniment- this is a great substitute for bengay. It soothes tired muscles and other aches and pains.

6. Propolis throat spray- I bring this in my bag everyday. If you feel like you have an itchy throat, spray it directly and you would witness that it eases the itchiness. It can also help prevent cough and colds. It also acts as a breath freshener and good for the gums.

7. Bamboo Charcoal and Bergamot Lime soap- I have this but I haven’t used it yet. Will post review after I’ve tried it. It claims to whiten skin and can beat common skin illnesses.

8. Rosemary Soap- I use this on my scalp during my days off. They said it relieves headaches and depression. Isn’t that cool?

Other products that I want to try soon are: the royal jelly, their milk and honey soap, their lip balm and of course their mosquito repellant. But I’ll be sure to stock on the honey, propolis and throat spray.

Bonus: I’ve included some of the pictures taken on my birthday.

I just came from work (gy shift) I dozed off a little bit. Just woke up and gave my "pa-cutest"smile

I am happy :)

Happy Birthday to me and my father! It has been almost a month since i started blogging and I did it out of boredom. I use to update it like daily yet, its almost like a weekly thing now. I am just so sorry readers. I have a project to finish and need to do it on or before deadline.

For my birthday, hubby and I decided to ditch our laptops just for a day. But earlier, he has been convincing me to bring our laptops since a WiFi connection is available almost everywhere. But still, I was firm with it. No work for us.

Another year has passed, I grew a year older again and year after year, I never fail to reflect about my purpose in life. What is it really??? hahaha I often wonder if I was sent here on earth to bring happiness to people. We'll duh??? Atleast I think I brought happiness to my husband, my family and friends. :)

A day before my birthday, I was really so down. I think I am like this yearly but come my exact birthday, sudden magic happens. Everything turns out fine and beautiful. I had my birthday presents in advance from hubby...something that I like. He says I need to act like a lady now coz I am no longer a teenage girl. He would like to see less of me wearing shirts and rubber shoes.

I got sweet and beautiful presents from family and friends. Text, email messages and call from friends abroad and family, a call I never got to receive since I am not at my parent's place (from my tita in US, hope to talk to her soon doh and that call was much appreciated).

For the celebration, my brother bought 10 kilos worth of Tbone steaks of which hubby greatly demolished. He was enjoying it, such a carnivorous. He even has side comments that its actually his birthday not mine because he was having the time of his life just binging! My mom cooked great meal for us. I did not have a cake for my birthday( sad) but I had a huge 28 in pizza for a replacement. There are a lot of things that I should be thankful for. God is indeed so good. I am mostly thankful to people who remembered my birthday eventhough I specifically requested for my birthday not to be announced (via company bday corner email). Thank you thank you to all of you. You made me so happy. This kind of happiness makes me forget about my worries at work, really. :)

Some of my mini celebration pictures will be posted soon.

One of my birthday wish (when I get rich) is to buy lots of LV stuffs. I just love LV, seeing it on tv and prints makes me crave for it more. It can wait. I need to be patient. I also have another wish but I wont tell anyone (so embarrassing) hubby knows it.

This dress for LV designed by Richard Prince looks more like a nurse's uniform. Though,it would really look good and classy when worn by tall models.. Grrrrrrrr always them! Where is justice?

Equal Opportunity

Why did I come up with this topic? Gara has been requesting for the former and I overheard mami lhen sulking about sacrifices made by soldiers. Nyehehehe. So that's the reason why.

What am I feeling today? Actually I am neither happy nor sad. Just so so. Something came up and made me sad but it doesn't mean that I should dwell on it. Lovely things around me outweighs my sorrow.

When you think about equal opportunity, what comes into your mind? First word that I can associate with it is fairness. Everybody deserves a chance, it doesn't mean that an opportunity should be focus on just one person just because he thinks he needs it, what about others who are in dire need also and wants to play it fair? It can also be associated with our government. I for one wanted to work in the government. I know I deserve this chance since I passed the Civil Service for professionals but look at mostly the people who holds position in your local government, they are either a relative of these higher ups (NEPOTISM) or was backed up by a powerful person in the government. Where's the opportunity for us who took the exam and passed it? Nada!?! Coz we don't know anyone from the government. It sucks big time but its the reality. Lucky you if you were able to penetrate a decent position in our government without the aid of a BIGTIME boss. I salute you for that! Even so with positions advertised, why do they have age limits??? What if you are able to perform it well than others? Why don't they look at your skills first, if you are trainable, the total package instead of being rejected because you are not on the ideal age anymore. Hello??? Everyone ages, its inevitable.

Have you ever made a personal sacrifice for the benefit of others? I've done this a couple of times. It never hurts to sacrifice as long as you know that the people that you are doing it for are worth it. Take for instance a parent who would sacrifice working abroad and be away from his family just to ensure that they have a bright future. The best way to reciprocate this is to value the sacrifice made. Don't fail the person who did it for you. On a broader perspective, have you offered even just a little prayer for the soldiers who sacrificed their lives/died for their country? Most of us do not understand our soldiers sacrifices which they make every day. Imagine that you're just awaiting for your death, but you still willingly give the service to your country; for the common good of all. My heart goes to our modern heroes. With their acts of heroism, we are saved from possible threats and danger. I do not envy their position, but I envy their courage. How I wish I could be that courageous even when just facing personal problems? We are so lucky that we are not in their position. We need to value our life, our freedom and people who make sacrifices for us. Put yourself in their shoes and you will realize how fortunate you are in your current life. :)

Pictures Galore

It has been days seen I've last posted. I've been very busy beating a deadline and was always online most of the time just working. Nway's just so to reward myself for being kinda workaholic, I took time to enjoy my days off and acted as a dutiful wife, a cook and a housekeeper.

Below are the pictures I have taken over the past weekends. Not so clear though since they were only taken from my phone's camera.

My brother and his gf bought me a sushi mat since they knew that I love to make our own sushi and maki. I made a wonderful kani maki. They don't look perfect though hehehe

The "Talikogenics". I took my family for a visit to our Punta Verde lot, they are seen here touring the subdivision.

My future house. Kidding! I just love the green color of the house's facade. Owner of this house would be my future neighbor.

My folks at the subd's club house. Look at my pop's pose, its superman

The other day, we went to bretto's for breakfast. Its a deli store with a wide array of cold cuts and cheese. I bought my blue cheese-my fave. I tried most of their cheeses here.

Our order, hungarian sausages with their yummy potato salad-with beets, bacon chunks and a lot of spices.

Hash browns, anyone?

Did u know that Starbucks recently opened in SM Clark? Here's the proof.

Dad's Iced Mocha and my ever fave Iced green tea with java chips.

Before my day off ended, I took time to clean my cabinet. Just so to get rid of old bags, some were given to my mom and others need washing. Below are my favorite bags among my collection.

My Girly Coach bags which I haven't use yet and My nike's which I often use at work.

My Guess bag, not yet used. It has a tag still. I wonder when will I use it.

hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Beauty of Life-SMILE

I am so Ironic. That I know for a fact. Just today, I feel so sad and yet trying to make myself feel happy. I don't really want to dwell on my sadness, that is why I have chosen the title Beauty of Life. I just want to appreciate things around me, enough to cover or possibly make me forget about how life sucks at times. You see, we choose what we want to feel. As much as possible, in every situation, I try to apply the 90/10 Principle of Stephen Covey. On how you react on certain situations. There are things that you can't control but mostly the outcome of certain situations can be controlled. To understand this principle more click on this link The 90/10 Principle.

I know I havent' mastered the art of appreciating the beauty of life. Otherwise, I would be the most positive person on earth who always look on the brighter side of life in every negative situation. So do we have to waste our energy worrying about problems? Do we look for solutions or do we just let ourself sink deeper with our depression?Decide now, don't take for granted wonderful things that has been happening in your life. I bet you will be more rewarded if you focus on how beautiful your CURRENT life is. Ask yourself if you notice the kindness other people have shown you or do you just focus on the bad things that you have experienced that bring about hatred in your heart. Do you dwell on minor problems or do you take time to talk to your self and just resolve a small conflict? Just look around, you are blessed, admit it or not you are. No one is too unfortunate to not afford to smile and just be contented and happy in life. There is a saying that life is what you make of it and how you perceive things. Accept everything that comes your way but don't get stuck on things that won't do you any good. Live life with no regrets and bitterness. Stay happy and you'll see that wonderful things will come back to you a hundred fold. :)

Would you believe our combined orders almost amounted to 4,000 pesos? We needed most of them to keep us active and awake during our shift. Not to mention most of these products aid in boosting the immune system. So excited. Keep u posted.

Happy April's fool!

Happy April's fool!Were you ever a victim of an april fool's joke? What's behind this practice? Actually, I wasn't victimize yet and would not wish to be embarrass in whatever way. Most of those who fall prey are the gullible ones. So what is April's fools day?

April Fools' Day also called ALL FOOLS' Day, first day of April, named from the custom of playing practical jokes or sending friends on fools' errands on that date. Although it has been observed for centuries in several countries, the origin of the custom is unknown. It resembles other festivals, such as the Hilaria of ancient Rome (March 25) and the Holi festival of India (ending March 31). Its timing seems related to the vernal equinox (March 21), when nature "fools" mankind with sudden changes in the weather.

Woman harvesting spaghetti from a tree

Perhaps most of us have read or heard about the Spaghetti tree which was featured on the BBC programme. It was one of the well known pranks in history which happened in 1957. In the program, they showed how Swiss people harvest spaghetti from trees. A large number of people actually believed and contacted BBC to know how to grow their own spaghetti trees. How stupid can that be? hehehe JOKE! .

Last night, I downloaded the Korean Movie, I'm a Cyborg, but that's okay. It was not really hilarious but I was so interested with the film since Rain is the leading man on this movie. I can't imagine him acting so goofy in the movie. I mean I will always remember him as the guy from Full House, a hot shot celebrity and not to mention his cool TVC for Clear Black shampoo. You know... " My name is Rain". hehehe.

I'm A Cyborg poster

Going back to this korean movie, this is about a girl who thinks she is a cyborg. She enters a mental institution and talks to a vending machine and flourecent lights. Rain on the other hand, is a mental patient as well who believes he can steal people's traits. He keeps an eye on the "cyborg girl", the new patient. The "cyborg girl" doesn't eat and people in the facility thinks she has an eating disorder which they cannot cure. She thinks that she can recharge herself with batteries (she actually takes them for lunch, she sticks her tongue on alkaline batteries) but in reality, her physical state is deteriorating. Rain thought of a way to help the "cyborg girl" since she becomes thinner from her diet of batteries. He convinced her that he had installed a food to electrical energy unit in her back, thus gets her to eat. I think I wont be really interested in this movie if it weren't for Rain. But if you are trying to kill time or can't sleep, you would actually be entertained with this movie. One of a kind.
