There are things in life that are #HardToGets. You want to get things you really like but you have to do something for it. You have to sacrifice anything for you to get it.

Like taking a good selfie with your dog.

Asking someone to take a photo of you at the beach.

Taking a photo on top of a mountain on a VERY windy day.

And getting fit and macho like this again. Witwew! :P

Even posting these photos online is  #HardToGets because your mobile internet is really slow.

Escape the scorching heat of summer with Starbucks' newest Frappuccino Blended Beverages - the Roasted Marshmallow S'mores Frappuccino and the returning favorite, the Summer Berry Panna Cotta Frappuccino. Starting today, April 19 up to June 6, you will get to enjoy the rich summer flavors guaranteed to leave you feeling rejuvenated.

ROASTED MARSHMALLOW S'MORES FRAPPUCCINO BLENDED BEVERAGE P180 / P190 / P200 S’mores are a classic treat of the American summer, evoking happy memories of campfires and the outdoors. The distinct taste of roasted marshmallows sandwiched with chocolate between graham crackers is the inspiration for the S’mores Mocha Frappuccino® Blended Beverage.

SUMMER BERRY PANNA COTTA FRAPPUCCINO BLENDED BEVERAGE P180 / P190 / P200 Celebrating the sweetness of summer, Starbucks is also bringing back a favorite. The Summer Berry Panna Cotta combines Panna Cotta with different types of berries to create a beautifully layered Frappuccino® Blended Beverage and topped with whipped cream and a tart berry drizzle.

STARBUCKS RESERVE BURUNDI MURAMBI P595 This coffee was processed using double fermentation, which is a two part step. The first fermentation is wet and the second fermentation is dry. It yields greater flavors and depth in the cup. Complementary Flavors: Lemon, baking spices, butter pastries.

STARBUCKS RESERVE EL SALVADOR MONTECARLOS ESTATE P495 The Montecarlos Estate sits atop a volcano where the coffee plants grow all the way around the volcano allowing the estate to fully utilize all the well-draining soil types the location has to offer. With piney herbal aromas that greet you in the cup, and flavors reminiscent of red apple and cane sugar. Complementary Flavors: Baked fruit tarts & pies, herbal breads, sweet & savory foods.

KATI KATI BLEND P425 Kati Kati, Swahili for “between”, is made from beans from East Africa which produce extraordinary summer coffees. Kenyan beans bring body and distinctive citrus flavors, while beans from Ethiopia soften the blend and add more complexity in flavor and aroma.  Available in select stores only. Complementary Flavors: Citrus and fresh fruits; lemons, oranges, and strawberries.

STARBUCKS VIA SWEETENED ICED COFFEE P250 Lightly sweetened with cane sugar and specially designed for mixing with cold water, this coffee just needs ice to hit the spot. Complementary Flavors: Nuts, lemons, oranges.

Everyone deserves some relaxation after a busy day at work. It doesn't mean you need to go out of the city or go to the beach. A sip of coffee and a comfortable couch is all you need. Plus some friends to chit chat with. I found a perfect place that serves good food and has a relaxed and comfortable environment. I'm talking about Koffiepauze - a coffee shop we found along Roxas Avenue.


Koffiepauze is a dutch word that simply means "coffee break". The Tinio family had an idea of putting up a one-stop coffee shop that has a flower boutique, a souvenir and stationery stand with complete postal service. However, from those concepts and ideas, only the former was realized. They opened last May 8, 2014 at the Palmetto Condo in Ma-a and transferred late last year at Roxas Avenue.


The managers Ms. Donna Patricia Tinio and Mrs. Melody Liz Espinosa, invited us to their new and bigger home at 100 Roxas Ave. Dormitory. We had the chance to taste some of their dishes and hot and cold drinks.
