Kaffe Razzo Exclusive Launch for Bloggers

Kuya Chingoy (Edsel), who's also a blogger recently opened Kaffe Razzo, a small coffee outlet in Aurora boulevard, Quezon city just near UE-RM Hospital and SM City Sta. Mesa. He actually organized a soft opening last Saturday exclusively for his blogger friends - us, kami, nosotros. Triligual pa ah! :)).

Kaffe Razzo, as its name implies (Filipino: kapiraso, meaning a bit or a tiny piece; pequeño en español) is a small but cozy coffee bar and resto - and they serve great food! I love the fresh lumpia and the mongolian rice. The place is perfect if you want to spend some time on a quiet and relaxing mood while eating or sipping coffee. You also get to enjoy free internet surfing via wi-fi - isn't that cool?

So if you happen to be strolling around Quezon city and just near Aurora boulevard, I recommend that you stamp your butt inside Kaffe Razzo and try their line up of great tasting menu. Here are some of our pictures with my blogger friends. View the complete set of photos here.

Enjoying Spanish Class at Instituto Cervantes

As most of you know, I am studying spanish at Instituto Cervantes. And just last week right after our class, we all agreed to have a group lunch at the Cas¡no Español just inside the compound where Instituto Cervantes is. This is not the typical gaming room that you might be thinking (PAGCOR) which is filled with neon lights and sexy bunny girls because the place is serene and relaxing. And they serve great paella, too! We all had a great time and of course, the never consigned to oblivion picture-taking moment.

I have to admit that I really am enjoying the feeling of being back to school and it seems like I am back to my teen stage years. Ah, I miss those days. Now I know how discontented the human mind is, because back when I was in college, I hated the idea of going to school to the point that I got burnt out and wished I was already working. Shortly after graduation, I had my first job which I enjoyed very much as well - AT FIRST. Then came to a point that I got sick of the routine and every waking moment became a nightmare to me. After months of doing the same thing over and over again, I finally made a tough decision.

I chose not to put an end to my learning so I went back to school to learn a very rich language. I have always been fascinated with the different languages and I hope that one day, I get the chance to learn each of them, one by one.

Thoughts on Light and Life

“Your path is illuminated by the light. Yet darkness lets the stars shine bright.”

All of us come to a point where we feel that the world has turned its back on us. But problems are a part of life which shape and strengthen us. Life without problems is a dull life, for there will be no reason to strive for brighter things. Our life is indeed a light which shines the brightest during our darkest moments.
