It aLwaYs starTs wiTh a niCe, hoT cup Of CoFfeE.

de caf at its finest...
my friend jeff & i had a habit on staying up late every night. we consider coffee as our gasoline. we usually start to make our own coffee at around 12mn. matching it up with some of the exquisite biscuits around the "suking tindahan". grahams, bingo and skyflakes to name
a few. we'll sit outside enjoying the silence and the cold ambiance of the night. talk almost endlessly. debating and arguing anything that could spiced up our minds were the moon and the stars are audiences. we simply enjoy talking. sometimes worries are left aside
or subsiding when we talk e. we talked about health issues, faith and books. minsan naman, we talked about the future, our life after 10 years. the life of our siblings and parents after 10 years, the life of our friends after 10 years, and the life of every filipino after 10 years. minsan din naman, nag babalik tanaw kami sa nakaraan. good or bad, pinag uusapan namin ng lantaran and examine ourselves how much we've grown and atleast trying to identify ourselves every after five years starting from being kids. past is past but some memories are worth reviving for pass gas experiences! hehehe!

ang madalas masarap na isawsaw sa mainit na kape ay...

ang isa sa pinaka walang kamatayang premise namin ay
ang "LoVE LiFe". it may be our own or from the experiences of our friends. nakakasawa but thought provoking! yes, you can call us sentimental fools. sino bang hindi? (calculus! wag ka ng humirit! we know, we know, we know...) hehehehe.....!as soon as the premise for LOVE has been spread out, we were soon be caught in a serious make over of our faces. the smiles died down and the spirit of our hot cups of coffee freezed out in minutes. we tend to question ourselves at first and patch things up the way arguements are supposed to be practiced. but then again, no matter how hard we find the answers, only time can reveal it. patience really is a virtue.

the aroma...

at the end of three to four hours of talking, arguing, laughing, praying, cursing, joking around and debating, the part we trully enjoyed most was not the part were number of coffee cups we finished (for the record, 4 cups is THE MOST!) nor the part were questions are
thrown to each other but for that of every priceless moments there's a friend who listens.
a good listener understand things more clearly than talking
too much. i mean, every one of us LOVES to talk, but only a few loves to listen.
some people claiming they're misunderstood by many but if they could just confide their feelings to a person or to a friend, they will surely find a home and perhaps you'll scrap the thought were you we're misunderstood by most. ang sarap kasi ng pakiramdam yung tipong kahit alam mong may isandaang taong hindi maka intindi sa'yo pero meron at mayroon pa ring taong makikinig sayo para intindihin lahat ng nararamdaman mo, dibe napaka fulfilling na nun?

"to be great is to be misunderstood."
-excerpt "On Self-Reliance" by ralph waldo emerson-

come to think of it, so many fightings, hatreds and unpeaceful signs or thoughts we experience these past few days... but isnt so nice to talk it over first with a cup of coffee before hasty decisions are served than having a gun in our hands? para pag nagalit ka, buhos mo lang yung kape sa kausap mo e lapnos na balat niya.. hahahahahah!!! just kidding!

practice listening. it can help you find something or
someone worth keeping.
