My Cup of Tea

Warren Buffet, the third richest man in the world and one of the most brilliant investors in American history, is the one I looked up to when it comes to intelligent investing. Your eyes had probably lit up after reading the title of this entry, it's because the title is quite famous, it's almost called the bible of billionaires! It used to be the title of the book written by Benjamin Franklin, the mentor of one of my favorite billionaires in the world - Warren Buffet. Warren Buffet is the CEO and Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, the largest investment company in the world. He had been trading in the stock market since his high school days, he learned further investment techniques through Benjamin Franklin. Buffet, the current third richest man in the world  according to Forbes Magazine is considered one of the most brilliant investors in American history.  I've long been following his life and his investment strategies and made my own research how to practice i...

Last Saturday, June 16, 2012, my colleagues in the university invited me to join them for a property viewing at one of the suburban areas in Davao City. We went to the office of the Real Estate Agent at half past noon then brought us to the three areas where the property development would take place in three years time. While looking at the area, I felt very sad upon seeing the massive destruction done by property developers to the mother earth. It is simply disappointing to see the green environment ruined, the cool and relaxing trees and plants cannot be seen and felt anymore. Why on earth the government allowed this to happen? Why there's no law implemented that would control which portion of the environment only allowed to be developed for subdivision? Property developers are so rude, greed and selfish!All they think is money and their riches but never think of what is good for the environment and the government tolerated and cooperated this bad act! I am so sad ...

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...
