Chix & Tell

I am a self-confessed "Coffee Addict". Coffee just makes my day...I mean, CUPS of coffee make my day! A minimum of 3 mugs a day is enough to keep my adrenalin, bolts & brain nuts working. I take my coffee seriously though I am not very particular about the kind of beans it came from or the process it went through. I only care about having it good in my cup, the way I like it: Hot when hot, Cold when cold, Perfectly Foamy but not full of foam! That is why joining Starbucks* Coffee Roasting made me appreciate coffee all the more.  Their candid manager Janice took us in a trip  through the Starbucks* Roast Spectrum giving us the chance to compare their coffee which was classified into three roast profiles: Blonde Roast, Medium Roast & Dark Roast. Blonde Roast (Veranda Blend) is a lighter-bodied and mellow coffee that awakens the senses gently and delivers an approachable and flavorful cup with slight hints of roast. I think this is too bland for me ...

Lord, thank you for the rain. I hope it will wash away the pain. Take away my anger Which pains him like a dagger. Help me move forward Coz my heart is just so hard.

Years ago I cried Because I carried a life In a tummy I want to hide. I stumbled and fall Had  a few people to call But my Dad stood tall. It was a bumpy ride With roller coaster on the side And I have to brave the tide. I fought life's challenges Even with some loosen hinges I managed to find success. A lot of promises I made Even though many has fade Its my self, I always try to persuade. And then I found happiness A bliss I thought that is countless Forever it will be my fortress. I enjoyed the chatter Even the frequent clutter From my little toddler. The boy was a wonder To us and his grandfather He fills us with laughter. One day I made him say A promise for him to obey Which will make me happy someday. His words I treasure For it will be my pleasure To find him a good future. But now I cry Because of a lie That let out a heavy sigh. I feel outraged I feel betrayed I feel a lot of ...

I had the pleasure of polishing a poem dedicated to Mr. Domingo Tan Teng for his retirement party. I even had the honor of reading it for Sir Doming in front of an estimated crowd of 350: just some of the people whose lives he has touched. Before the poem was read, his children spoke about the father that he is and listening to them made me realize how aptly the poem was lettered.  Allow me to share the poem that encapsulated who the captain was for the many men and women he has shared his life with for the past 50 years.

ACLC General Santos City. The graduating class of Business Office Information Information System has stood up to the challenge, passing the National Competency in Events Management III given by TESDA last Mar 5-8, 2014, making me one proud and happy mentor.  Alas! After feeling tortured and anxious for three days waiting for the results ( like you have a  dozen of kids who just got wheeled in in an operating room to be dissected upon!Gosh!), the die is cast:  Competent!   All the nose-bleeding activities had paid off! Event planning, event proposals, brain-boggling budgeting, negotiating, etcetera-etcetera blah,blah, blah! It just feels overwhelming when kids come to you and say how much you have been a part of their success. But this is certainly not about me. I am just an instrument.
