Precious tea time with The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Earl Grey fresh leaf tea.

I admit I am not much of a tea fanatic like my sister but with my first taste of Earl Grey Martini I just had to have that flavor everyday.

Thank goodness I found a box of The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf's version of Earl Grey tea for 2 boxes that have 18 pcs inside at 195 pesos only! The day before I saw a Twinnings box with 25 sachets inside for 243 pesos, my sister said it tastes better just by 1 notch.

It tastes really good with its bright citrus taste and aroma that is like sunshine on my taste buds! :)

Individual pack

 18 sachets

Oh and by the way doesn't this tea set look so pretty?

 Black tea or any tea actually has some content of caffeine, best to drink while studying!

Fiber rich coffee mix!

Hey lovelies,

I would like to share my own experience about my love affair with coffee. Even when I was doing rounds in the hospital day and night for a few years, I never asked the aid of coffee to keep me going since I was on my feet and since our Clinical instructor would not permit us to sit down for the duration of our shift. I only started to drink that magical juice when I was working nights as a Billing analyst at a BPO company. They gave out free coffee and I really enjoyed that it kept me awake and up all throughout my shift. I did not know though that this stuff is really addicting and the withdrawals are hell. I experienced the coffee withdrawals during weekends when I blamed sleeping in for my headaches and crankiness in the afternoon, but lo and behold when I drank a cup all that pain magically dissipated and all are rainbows and unicorns again. Fast forward to a few years and it was not really going well, I decided to quit cold turkey and replace it with Yerba Mate which I blogged about a few back, I still miss the aroma and taste of coffee and I have curbed the addiction by keeping myself hydrated and making my coffee heaps healthier now with my own recipe!

4 Tbsp of Raw Oat meal

2 Tbsp of powdered milk or your own protein powder

1/2 Tbsp of washed sugar

1 tsp of Coffee

 Place all together in a blender with half a glass of icy cold water -- add some more if you like.

Then enjoy!

This is really a great way to make coffee as it has raw oatmeal that I osterize making it a bit of an oatie kind of drink but you can just gulp all that fiber up and makes for a healthy digestive system!

Always stay hydrated and keep those happy thoughts coming, there is nothing more important to keep healthy but the mind! -- and that is coming from somebody who had worked at an asylum.

Much love,
<3

My new Canon EOS 100D :)

Oh what a happy day this is when I get to have my first own DSLR. I do not mean to brag and I know a lot of people have their own DSLRs but I am just so happy that I am able to "upgrade" from my camera phone. :)

SM appliance center has a promo that gave discounts and free stuff!

Ok, so I got the Canon 110D that had the original price of 33,000 php but the discount they gave for those who will pay with credit cards gets a discount lowering the price to around 28k payable in installments 3,6 or 12 months. If you pay using cash, then the price would be around 26k. The Canon 100D is in their Rebel line and I guess Canons' lightest DSLR yet. 

I initially searched google "I have a DSLR, now what" and it gave me really good links to sites that offer good advice. It said to let go of the Auto feature as much as possible use Manual to take my photos, I still have A LOT of learning to do and I personally advise to got to Alison.com where you can take free online courses ( which I am currently taking ), and they include a Digital Photography class published by Harvard extension school!

Much love,
