I do not know if I have to call myself a “coffee addict” but I usually drink a cup or two at night and during cold times (our daily room temperature is at least 22 degrees, get the point). What I do know is I love the taste and smell of coffee. I do not usually go to famous and near famous coffee shops nor I am knowledgeable of how and where did coffee’s came from (I am certain that most of it comes from coffee bean ? ) but I have tried the most expensive coffee, the Coffee Lowak which cost boyfie 200php for a little cup and regretted why we did not bought more in our way home from Sagada. If you ask my type of coffee, is it espresso, cappuccino o amerikano well I don’t really know because I just settle to 3 in 1, not your photogenic type of coffee but well surely blown your caffeine intake away.
For a long time I have been keeping this secret paradise of ours. It has been boyfie and I’s place of tranquility and is located in the Island of Camotes (Travel Guide: Camotes Island). The first time we set foot in this paradise, we immediately feel in love in the place. The reason why we have been here 3 times and in the island 5 times.

“In a good book the best is between the lines”. –Swedish Proverb
I am a bookworm but I am not really into signed books until I have read books of Mitch Albom. Actually I have watched the movie Tuesdays with Morrie first before reading the book. After that I feel in love on all his books. All his writing is really moving.
I’m here to see Mitch Albom and let him signed my book
Today – like, while writing this blogpost I am in the middle of these bookworms here in Ayala Center Cebu Activity Center, patiently waiting for Mitch Albom to be on stage talk about his books and of course have our books signed and some photo op.

Most of us want to live like a fairy tale. Having a prince charming, we can marry and live a life with happily ever after. Many damsel in distress are still waiting for their prince charming, and lucky me for I have him right here beside me – not that I am a damsel in distress and no he is not reading this article I currently write, maybe later.
We are raise with a principle that good relationships will last only and only if LOVE is present. I don’t know if it is stated in the scripture per se but I know that it is what the Church is preaching. It is what my parents, your parents and all parents are telling that LOVE will make a relationship last.
Before anything else, I would like to greet everyone a Happy New Year. I know I have sin for not writing a year-end post but let us not cling on to what’s not but just be grateful of the new year.
For the past days there have been very good information’s circulating in the social media on how to start saving and eventually save over the year.

This article was supposed to be included in my previous post Ira Panganiban Open Letter to BIR Commissioner Kim Henares, to show to you that the government should at least give consideration to Pacquiao because he has given good name – legacy to the country and the government had not spent a single centavo for him and the Philippines as a whole receives the praise from the world.
Since Manny Pacquiao have returned home after winning the fight against Brandon Rios in Macau, the news both online and offline was all about the freezing of the bank accounts of the Pambansang Kamao. Many have opposed against the move of the BIR and people showed disgust to Bureau of Internal Revenue Commissioner Kim Henares
The most viral post of disapproval was made by journalist Ira Panganiban. He wrote an open letter addressed to the BIR commissioner.
Here’s the full letter:
Dear Kim Henares,
I do not doubt your sincerity to collect taxes from every Filipino, living or dead.
