New Journey for 2013

It is the last day of 2012, exactly 2 hours from now, we'll be celebrating the coming of 2013. Life in 2012 for the filipinos is a mixed of challenges, festivities and a relaxed atmosphere. My personal journey in 2012 will continue in 2013. I may be facing life changing experiences, meet people that would make or break me a little, happenings and events that might touched my whole being but will definitely strengthen my faith and make me whole as a person. Nobody says that life would be easy but one thing God promises that He will never leave us, comes any weather. Peace be with us not only on Christmas but throughout the year! Om Shanti Shanti! 
Happy New Year everyone.

My Morning Brewed Coffee

Lately, I have noticed that I would like to start my day with a cup of brewed coffee which I dont normally do. If I remember correctly, my addiction to brewed coffee started because of my frequent visit to Figaro Coffee  in a nearby subdivision. Since, I do a lot of studying for my environmental studies in Figaro coffee, which by the way I preferred because it is near my place and kinda quiet. My sort of liking to the mild taste and aroma of Figaro brewed coffee also started due to my voluminous research and readings. Though I am still trying other brewed coffee but I have not yet find the taste that suits my palate, except for McDonalds brewed which comes handy (and cheap!) in the morning on my way to the office. Hey! I think I should be paid for the free good review of these two products! 

Why only drink in the morning? Well, by forced of a habit (and strong discipline which I normally failed!!!) I only follow one drink a day and it should be in the morning. My normal thing before was I dissuade myself from drinking coffee. Why? I don't know, I just did. My morning habit leaves me from not drinking other coffee if it is not brewed from Figaro or McDonalds (another free great ad here ha!!!). I only sip black and it should be extra hot because if its not, my palate will just simply snob it. I guess, that's another discipline which comes natural to me, if the coffee is not extra hot then no coffee for me at all. 


I should say my journey starts with a cup of coffee. There are days when having one is not feasible especially in the morning, (mind you guys,  time flies between 6 and 8 o'clock in the morning and I could almost forget to comb my hair, good for me  my hair is short and straight by the way :-) We'll, I just simply have it after office or just save the craving the following morning. I just love the taste of my first brewed in the morning so its simply saving the best for last, I mean the first....thing in the morning.

Life Inside the Mat


I read this quote posted in one of my fave blog which says..."Yoga is the best opportunity to be curious to be who you are". It struck my senses in a way because I never realize that I got curious (?) about things the first, second or third time I practiced yoga. In fact, I am just an avid body balance practitioner. I do combination of Yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi. The body balance moves are hip because of its music and almost always I fall off my mat which gave me the chance or should I say an excuse to pause for awhile. Going back to yoga practice, I think it takes time to realize how yoga transformed myself inside the mat. Realization about the benefits of yoga did not happen overnight. I believe that changes do not come with realization at the same time. Because there is a process which little by little happened in my life and I unknowingly embraced the changes through  deep realization. Things happened inside the mat because we allowed ourselves to explore our body and make our mind still for awhile. Embracing the weaknesses of our body during yoga practice and more accepting of what we can only do at the moment is something that I learned just recently. Just like in life, perfection does not come the first nor the second time but through constant practice, patience and being at the present moment.
