    Coffee Break: Raspberry Coffee Frappe

    Starbucks Frappe
    Coffee frappe grande 3 pumps raspberry whip blended in

    Going to Starbucks has become a necessary habit. Recently, the more stressed we become, the more we need coffee to help us to stay focused and to give us our daily dose of happiness. A cup of coffee (specifically a frappe) is a cup full of joy. I know, I know some of the more frugal people will say that Starbucks is overpriced and spending your salary for a cup of coffee is just crazy. Let’s agree to disagree, okay? I demand Starbucks-shaming to stop, please!

    This drink is a discovery of my friend, Jonats. If you want to try something different with your coffee, try this P170 drink. The raspberry syrup will tingle your tastebuds like no other. Adjust the number of pumps depending on your preference on sweetness. The drink will literally quench your thirst especially with the super summery weather we have now!

    Watch out for more food posts! 🙂

    Try this drink and tell me all about it in the comment section.

    Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 Episode 4 Review

    , ,

    Last Wednesday on Asia’s Next Top Model was a very emotional episode. It’s a double whammy for Filipino fans as both of their representatives, Gwen and Alaiza, left the competition. Subaru boss Glenn Tan reprimanded Sang In for allegedly “rolling her eyes” at him while he was introducing the photo shoot. To say that the episode had a lot of drama is a severe understatement. Oh, and Yu Tsai’s finally here! Read on for my Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 Episode 4 review.

    How did your early favorites fare in the photo shoot? I don’t want to add to the negativity and drama of last episode so I’m not going to rank their photos this time. Instead, I’ll highlight the positive things about each of their photos. Let’s go!

  • Why Try Theater Workshops

    Why Try Theater Workshops

    ,

    Theater workshops might not be the top of mind summer activity for your kids (if you have kids), for your siblings and even for you. Well, that was the case for me. I wasn’t really exposed to performance arts when I was younger. I had only been enrolled in a summer swimming class once. Maybe the reason’s financial or that summer classes aren’t as easy to find back in my day (90s HAHA excuse me). My only “experience” in theater then was being cast as a bird in Aladdin in fourth grade. I got sick so I didn’t really make it to the show. *sighs*

    My first theater workshop was in April-May 2014 under 9 Works Theatrical. I got hooked instantly that I enrolled the next year again. Needless to say, I loved it!

    Here’s a few of my main reasons why you should TRY theater workshops.
