My Cup of Tea

Sipping a cup of hot green tea is always a wonderful comfort and since I am painstakingly craving for yummy foods these past weeks, I've decided to prepare something very scrumptious--Tea sandwiches and Scones. Got so addicted with Afternoon Tea Break lately and maybe I would make this a habit every 4:00 in the afternoon because it's so relaxing and can remove clutters from my horizon. I love cucumber tea sandwich too! I am planning to prepare my own Scones, another Afternoon Tea food and learning the procedure of Frosted Cream Cheese Walnut Scone!

Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, tied the knot with long time girlfriend, Priscilla Chan, last May 19, 2012, a day after Facebook made its IPO So inspired with life! I was right, I only need enough space and time to relax --- and a little change in diet--- to combat stress and tensions. I also tried to discard anxieties, disappointments and frustrations out from my system --- something I've been moping for the past years --- it will come to pass I know and that's part of being human so I learn to live with it and darted my attention to things that matter most in life.  Yesterday, May 22, 2012, I just stayed in the house and seated in front of television after taking lunch, waiting for Chief Justice Renato Corona to appear and testify before the impeachment court in the senate to answer all the allegations that had been thrown to him. At 2:30 pm, I began to fidget in my chair, exasperated with Corona's  long opening statement, I thought it would finish befo...

Yeah!Taking a daily Afternoon Tea break ^____^ Quite relax and more compose to go on with life now. Maybe bad eating habit was the culprit of my spiky moods the past weeks so I've decided to change my eating style and adopted this very British thing, regularly practice by the royal family especially Queen Elizabeth II. Hmmm, maybe this is the reason why the Queen at 86 and her husband, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh at 91, are still spritely active and healthy, so I thought of adopting their healthy eating habit through Afternoon Tea style. Incorporating this habit to my  MEDITERRANEAN DIET  is so fantastic, this will save me from going to a derma clinic hehe. Afternoon Tea break varies in foods depending on your choices, but traditionally this break serves hot cup of green tea and tea sandwiches and scones.  Tea sandwiches are not food on the run but rather prepared delicately in tasty morsels with high flavoured ingredients such as watercress, anc...

Longing to escape to a sunny garden with a breathtaking landscape of flowers and plants! I dreamed to go to a beautiful and quiet countryside to loosen up and unwind and breath the fresh air from the mountain and wild flowers. Since going somewhere is quite impossible, I just want to take a day break from work maybe and spend life alone and enjoy a cup of tea in the afternoon.  Fourteen years ago, I thought I could find and live a kind of life I was dreaming of in the city but I was wrong. It was terrible, the battle of survival and the struggle to find a room for myself buried me more in the basement of frustrations and disappointments. So deep that contentment is no where to be found. Now, I want to go back to an environment where harmony and peace of mind are abundant. I am more interested in settling with home life in the countryside than taking a tremendous career in the city because life there is more relax and calm. I want to live a quiet, simple life in a gr...

I am so irritable these past days...so many annoyance, disappointments and frustrations. My mood is swinging high and I am on the verge of quitting my not-so-appealing job. I hate this environment, so irritated that I want to eat and eat whole day. No, I am not in bad trouble of course, I just felt extremely exhausted with so many things. Why I felt really bad?It seems there's an evil spirit lurking behind my back. The breakouts in my face maybe have something to do with my tantrums. For heaven's sake why these annoying pimples kept returning in my skin?? I felt very ugly even more, so ugly that I am not in a good condition to fix myself. Negative emotions keep haunting me. I felt I am ugly, I felt I am not needed, not loved nor liked. I felt people in my surroundings rejected me every minute of the day. I hate this feeling, I want to escape temporarily. If I had only the money, I would really take a break to a foreign land and just stroll around the park and momentari...

I am extremely irritated and disappointed towards something and someone right now and my irritation progresses to anger every minute. I am simply tired elaborating and enumerating my exasperation so I choose not to talk about it anymore. Why do I keep on insisting myself when I am not needed? Well, the bottom line of this is, in life, let's admit it, there are really people in our surrounding that we don't like to be associated or to be with, we simply detested them and the mere sight of them made our stomach lurked in rage.  This natural reaction is somewhat part of our intuition and we cannot control it and there's nothing we can do about it, forcing to appreciate that person is a total madness.  I'm no exemption. There are also people in this world that I really detested and no matter what others say, I cannot force myself to appreciate them or like them, it is simply ridiculous.  Here are the top five annoying people in my list. If I wou...
