Let's talk about Coffee!
Well, I mean in general. How much do you know about coffee? Up until college, I wasn't your typical coffee drinker. Tea was more like my favorite beverage at that time. My love for coffee started when I had already graduated in college and was already working. It started with trying out different brands of 3 in 1 coffee in the supermarket. Afterwards, I tried McDonald's coffee float which by the way is still one of my comfort drink up to this day. I've developed a penchant for McDonald's coffee because it is the only coffee out of that time that's effective in keeping me wide awake. I've tried coffee vending machines and liked the Nescafe Alegria. Sometimes I went with friends on cafes like Cafe De Lipa or the commercially available brands in the metro like Starbucks, J.Co, Bo's Coffee, Tim Hortons, The Coffee Bean Tea & Leaf, Highlands Coffee. Since purchasing a tall cup of these brands cost from 90 to almost 200 pesos, I became interested in brewing coffee using the coffee maker for my coffee consumption. I've tried our local Benguet coffee but I keep coming back to Cafe Amadeo's Pahimis Blend.
Coffee came from coffee beans. And before we have that freshly brewed cup of joe, there are a huge amount of process that takes place. Coffee beans are grown with care to ensure the best as it's quality will depend on several factors such as the soil, temperature, weather and others.
There are different types of species of Coffee. You might have encountered the more commonly known Arabica and the Robusta, and the Excelsa and Liberica.

Peter Guber - His billboard would say
(taken from Tribe of Mentors by Tim Ferriss)
“Don’t let the weight of fear weigh down the joy of curiosity.” Fear is really false evidence appearing real.
“The great majority of that which gives you angst never happens, so you must evict it.” Don’t let it live rent-free in your brain.
“Attitude puts aptitude on steroids.” Attitude is the soft stuff, but when the chips are down, as they so often are, it’s the soft stuff that often counts.
Android Game: A Slime Hut (How to finish Wave 24)
If you want a tower defense/farming type of gaming, you can try playing A Slime Hut by Goody Gameworks. Apparently, it is an Android game and you can play it in your web browser too.
I was in the final stage (Wave 24) and I was able to finish the game using 2 Vangbats, 1 Arboar, and 5 Rabbids. Here below is a screenshot of the formation which I did. By the way, you have to upgrade all your pets to it's maximum potential.
Spoiler: (Drag through to see from here: Unfortunately, you have to finish it before Day 70 in order to win the game. up to this point.)
So I played this again and was able to finish the game by Day 39 using this formation.
And the ending goes like this:

This I've first heard of when I was practicing my IELTS Reading Skills and was doing a mock test.

Rubbed by a Black Stray Cat
I was on my way to work when I encountered a black cat near the building and he/she was meowing at me. He/She walked towards me and started rubbing his/her head and body against my legs! It was a bit nerve-wracking but I tried to stay cool and then walked inside the building like it was nothing. The cat tried to follow me inside the building but the security guard tried to talk to him/her. The cat's gesture came to me as a surprise as I'm not really a cat-lover much less that it was black as I prefer dogs than cats. However, my perspective changed when I met our cousin's Persian cat. It was fluffy and cute and pretty. He has quite a uncanny resemblance to a cartoon comic character: Garfield.
Oh wait a minute..
Hey, I went on a Google search and Garfield really is a Persian tabby cat! So that was why they looked alike!
Anyway, I learned that it was a positive sign that when cats rubbed against you, they consider you as family or a friend and is marking you as their own. I thought our dog would incessantly bark at me when I'll arrive at home as I assuming that I'll still have the cat pheromones on my clothing but he didn't. Hahaha.
Recently, I've been watching movies and I happened to get across a groove song through Afterlife of a Party. I really thought that he was Koop but his real artist name is Spencer Sutherland. Blush especially Drive were a mood setter, but I'm starting to like that there's more to his songs.

Let's Talk About Sleep Hygiene!
We all heard the news that recently there has been a resurgence in COVID-19 cases in the Philippines and it could also be due to the mass gatherings of families during the holidays. Now is the time that we talk about sleep hygiene as better sleep is essential for an optimal immune system.
Yes, if there is personal hygiene, there is also a thing called sleep hygiene. Good sleep hygiene refers to the habits that we have that promote restful sleep. Almost all the living things on Earth need to sleep in order to recuperate. These are the tips that you can do to improve your sleep hygiene:
Our relatives gifted us with a Kitchen Luxe 2-in-1 griller last Christmas so we decided to have samgyupsal without any banchan as part of our Media Noche feast. I've been meaning to buy an electric griller before but eventually I opted for a butane gas type and a detachable samgyupsal pan. After cooking in it, I cleaned the griller and rather found it to be difficult. First, I attempted using paper towels and soap but I guess that I would be wasting a lot. The manual instructions indicate to use warm soapy water. But then I'm too lazy to heat water using the electric kettle. So I had an idea which did work and satisfied me.

How to Give Your Reheat Pasta an Oomph
Reheating pasta is not as good as when you make it the first time. But I happened to think about a way on how to reheat my pasta and guarantee that it will make the pasta that is reheated tastier.
In a non stick pan/wok, put oil and put minced garlic in it in a low to medium heat. Sauté until the garlic is light brown in color. If you want, you can substitute onions for garlic. Add to your pasta and sauté for some time. Add the sauce and reheat until your desired outcome. Enjoy!
Happy New Year to all! How is your first day of the year?
I went to sleep at around 4 am and woke up at 12 noon. Our dog hasn't had his restful sleep as we all know dogs don't fare well with the sounds of fireworks. And so after eating, I went upstairs to watch Netflix in my laptop so he could get some.
I may probably be old for asking this but are you familiar with Doraemon? Watching Stand by Me Doraemon on Netflix makes me miss this anime, or manga, I suppose (though I haven't read the manga yet). It depicts the life of an elementary kid Nobita Nobi and when he gets into trouble asks Doraemon for gadgets that could help him. Doraemon also holds a place in my heart because it also gives a lot of life realizations that touched mine.
I've tried to draw him. Hehehe.
