frappe-time!


...

Caramel frappe, the sweet heavenly goodness I had after walking under the scorching heat of the sun in UPLB.

I have been a fan of frappe ever since I encountered it.
I am not a regular customer of Starbucks, so no, I didn't meet my first ever frappe in that famous shop.
I tasted my first frappe (which is a mocha frappe) in ISIS, a cafe/bar located in College, Laguna.
No, I'm not plugging, I'm just telling...
I am not an avid fan of coffee, honestly.
I grew up not drinking coffee.
But later on, I met Nescafe Iced Coffee Latte and I evolved.
I began seeing coffee in a different light.
I will drink coffee if it is not HOT.

Oh yes.
I would indulge in coffee products if it is iced or in the form of frappe.
And that is the reason why I have been very much in love with FRAPPE.

Frappe is an iced coffee drink, covered with foam or whip cream, which I truly like.
And according to Wikipedia, in French, frappe incorporates the definition of shaken or chilled.
There you have it, frappe is chilled coffee drink, a relief from the summer heat.

There are many shops growing all around the world, of course, specifically in the Philippines which offer different flavors of frappe, from mocha frappe to caramel-flavored, to choco java frappe and choco mint..there's so much to choose from, the list goes on.

If you're not up for a frappe, you can have other coffee drinks, like cafe latte, espresso or just plain coffee.

I am not a coffee addict, but if you invite me to go grab a drink, let's go and chill with a frappe. That would leave me completely refreshed, especially with this kind of heat.

I'll try the rocky road frappe next time!

P.S.
This caramel frappe is from Ristretto, a coffee shop situated in Vega, College,Laguna.

black robe and toga


...

Finally, I am an official graduate of UPLB Class of Batch 2010.
I am so happy.
I am so blessed.
And right now, I'm off to just relax for a while before I embark on another phase of my life --studying in medschool.
Good luck to me and to my fellow graduates.

Wee!

Hello, my friend.

It is nice to meet new people.
But, it's so scary when people don't like you that much as you like them.
Well.
You cannot always please everyone, right?
It's just..
Sometimes, it gets in my nerves.
I always doubt myself when it comes to making new friends.
But close people told me I am approachable.
But why?
I am not that close anymore with my HS bestfriend.
I do not even have the "clicque" group of friends during college.

Despite being a nice person, trying to be sensitive to others, being fair..
I always end up being not taken importantly.
I'm just easily thrown aside.
And I hate it.

Sighs.
I just want someone who will be there for me..
who will stay..
who will protect me as I do the same for her or him.

I wish Ii'll find that person in the next phase of my life.

what does the sign tell?

Should I be in FEU?
Can my father's financial setup be able to carry on with my medical studying?
I'm scared.
I'm confused.
They still opt for PLM.
If the reconsideration letter is approved, then I might get in to PLM.
Enjoy lower tuition fees and closer school to home.
BUT.
I don't know.
I have this feeling that I'm supposed to be in FEU.
I'm fated to go there.
I'm confused really.
I wish things will be settled soon.
Sighs.

a dosage of the water element


....

After a long, long time, finally I managed to enjoy my vacation through a swimming experience.
I've waited for so long, craved for this moment to happen.
I don't care if it's in a beach or just a private resort.
What matters most is I let my body relax, strolled underwater and felt the presence of the element.
And I did.
With my family and my aunt's family.
Despite the problems encountered, we managed to get soaked under the sun (but thankfully, it's not too sunny)...

I love swimming.
Here's a pic of me.
