UAAP Ateneo vs La Salle

I'm not really a UAAP follower because my alma mater never made it even to the semis (i think!) except in cheerdancing...ehem ehem... Since my husband is a sports fan, he watches anything related to it. Unfortunately our current apartment is not yet supported by fiber optic thus not able to subscribe to TFC. So off we go to Cafe Namu, which is soon-to-be our neighbor.

thank you to live streaming

Hope everyone is enjoying the game! Whoever wins, congratulations!

Christian Bautista in Cambodia?

Nooo wayyyy!!!! After my last call(meeting) this afternoon, I decided to continue work in a coffee shop. It's been a while since I did this. I think my parents were still here in Phnom Penh so that must have been a month. Anyway, going back to my story. I am not really attentive to listening to songs. But the one playing right now sounds so familiar. I paused and kept thinking why is that so. That's because it's sang by Christian Bautista. He is a famous FIlipino singer (obviously I am from the Philippines) and his songs are really popular there. So there, for the first time I felt close to home just listening. I don't know the title but the lyrics are like "there is something in the way, you look at me...."

Brown @ 'd Riverside

I frequently get my coffee from Brown because of it's accessibility and it"s variety of coffee types (caramel macchiato, hazelnut frappe, decaf) which you can seldom find in other coffee shops here (cafe fresco is another option).

A colleague of my husband, from Vietnam, told us that the branch in riverside (facing Tonle Sap River) has opened and he likes the ambience of the new store. Since we are in the area today, I asked Ryan if we can have dessert here so we can try out the place. I agree....the place is bigger compared to its other branches yet they were able to maintain the 'homey' feeling. 

   Depends on your mood, there are high chairs, 
    comfy sofas and usual small group tables

A New Beginning

There are just so many things happening to me, many thoughts in my mind which I am just excited to share and write about. That is why I created this blog.

I was actually having 2nd thoughts if I will just continue with my old blog (last entry was year 2010) or create a new one. So, I kept on procrastinating this 'to-do' for almost a year. Thinking that I have to customize it again -- choose fonts colors, do some programming to change tags/labels/layout. My usual excuse to myself is that I don't have the time. But like all other activities, you just need to find time.

So welcome back to me in the blogging world. I hope my (conversational) writing skills will improve. I also hope I could update this more often :-)
