Starting my 2012 with a Cup of Coffee


I woke up today to a cloudy weather but that does not mean that I should be in bed all day. I got up and promised myself that I would start the year with productivity! What is the best way to perk up my day a cup of coffee! Last year a splurged on a bag of good coffee but when I got home I could not find the coffee maker! Fortunately my friend Honeyel saw my Mom's French press. I don't think my bought it for coffee. I am the only one in the family who drinks coffee. I think she bought it for decorating purposes. So my coffee make problem was solved.  


Yesterday I tried experimenting and my first attempt the coffee was watery. Today finally got it right! 


After having a quick breakfast I got the New Year cake, and pieces of chocolate! I know I am starting my day filled with caffein induced hyperactivity! 

End of 2011


Another year is ending and a new one is just a day away. Here I am thinking about the year that has passed. I know I have not blogged enough. This year has been full of tribulations but also full of blessings.

2012 could mean a lot of things...some say it's the end of the world
Somehow it's also an end for me...it is the end of my twenties.

So I am making a vow that I should make my 29 count.

I leave you with lyrics from Incubus' Song
"If not Now, When"



I have waited
Dined on ashes
Swung from chandeliers and climbed Everest
And none of it's got me close to this

I've waited all my life
If not now, when will I?

We've been good
Even a blast, but
Don't you feel like something's missing here?
Don't you dare

I've waited all my life
If not now, when will I?
Stand up and face the bright light
Don't hide your eyes
It's time

No umbrellas
No sunglasses
Healing [hearing?] Hallelujah everyday

I've waited all my life
If not now, when will I?
Stand up and face the bright light
Don't hide your eyes
It's time

It's been AWHILE

...
This just shows how I suck at  blogging nowadays. I have been updating my branding tumblr. slimsea.tumblr.com It was suppose to be stuff for my rebranding but somehow my personal stuff is mixed.
I really should be fixing stuff.

Lately I feel I am in a rut. There are a lot of THINGS I should be doing (like getting my act together) but somehow I waste time on facebook. I should learn to go offline.

I need to have creative spark.

In a year I will be turning 30. I know it's just a number. Right now I don't even feel 29...(because I am really 28 going to 29 in less than a month). I am having one of those alone time so I will have my reflective moment! This is my blog and I will rant anything I want! Sigh...

I used to be fearless. I used to be spontaneous. Is this getting old feels like?

Book I am currently reading

There are time I read a lot of books all at once. Well not really ready different books in one sitting. It's more of reading book alternately. Right now I am reading 5. It's usually just 2. 

I never imagined myself reading ebooks. I really hate reading ebooks because my eyes hurt afterwards but somehow I got to finish Pretty Little Liars on my ipod touch. Now I am on the second book of the series. 
I like reading book series. So this is book 11 of the Anita Blake series.

This a very short novel. I like reading this when I am tired of reading Anita Blake fast pace life. This the complete opposite of the Blake series. 


This is a collection of Lourd's essays in spot.ph. I really love reading about his take of current events in the Philippines. I also love the treasure trove of words he uses. 
Lastly I read this one so that I have an idea how to handle the business side of graphic design. I even bought markers so that I could high light the important parts. 

How about you what is on your reading list?
