Daily Essentials

If there's one thing that can make my day right, its a good breakfast.

I'm not a morning person. I have a hard time waking up early in the morning nor be active and fully awake at 6AM. Even if my eyes are already open that time, my mind and body still wants to go back to bed and dream of all the good things in life. This is the reason why for me to be able to stay fully awake and have a good day, I need to have a very nice breakfast serving that can jump start my day. However, unlike everyone else, I don't usually eat heavy foods at breakfast (even if this is the best meal to fully stuffed yourself). What I usually have is my daily essentials that is always present on my breakfast table.

1. COFFEE. I admit I'm a coffee - holic (if there's such a word). When I was young, instead of drinking milk, what I usually drink is a cup of coffee - black for that matter. It's only when I was in college that I started to put a creamer on it because my heart starts to palpitate if I drink too much coffee. Honestly speaking I can even drink 5 cups of coffee a day. :)

2. CREAMER. Nothing can make my coffee more creamier and more tasty than this. This is the perfect partner fora cup of coffee, not milk.

3. SUGAR. for obvious reasons, for a sweet taste. :D

4. PEANUT BUTTER. my ever favorite palaman. I sooo love Peanut butter sandwich! I don't mind if It would give acne or headache but I just have to had my daily dose of peanut butter sandwich. You should also try it with a fruit jam ( I prefer grape) it tastes so heavenly..

So there you go, these are my daily breakfast needs. My early morning vitamins to jump start my day. How about you, what's your breakfast list?

Beach Trips

Road Block

I'm the Sun, Sea and Sand type of girl. I prefer going to the beach and swim under the scorching heat of the sun rather than going to the clubs and dance the night away. So, when my friends and I wanted to unwind ourselves from all the stress at work, we packed our bags and board the ferry boat going to Camotes Island and it was a summer worth remembering for.

We went to Camotes with only our pocket money, bags and our adrenaline rush. We didn't have any itinerary. We didn't know anyone from the Island and no cellphone signal either in most of the places. We just asked from the locals around and trust that they will be good to us. That's what makes this trip more special that it even leave me with a sunburn I've been suffering for a week.

Dolphins welcoming us

Look at that cliff!

When I saw this, I wanted to jump off the boat and into the crystal clear blue waters. The locals said that its not advisable to jump into the water from these cliffs because you can get caught by the current and banged your head into the rocks.

The Coast Line and the Beach

Camotes may not have the powdery white sand beach of Boracay but it has one of the most cleanest shore line and the longest one I've been to.

If this is the scenery you will see, going to the market will not be an unpleasant thing to do

Camotes is not all about the beach but is also home of a beautiful lake.. Lake Danao

And a beautiful sunset to end a fun filled day

No words can describe how much I had fun in Camotes Island and that's what made me proud of as a Filipino because we have lots of beautiful places here that is waiting to be discovered. That is why I highly recommend Camotes Island to your list - its all worth it.

Personal

Look what I've got?

My friends and I went to Camotes Island, Cebu last weekend to unwind ourselves from the pressures at the office. It was all unplanned but we did enjoy our stay and definitely had fun and the island is such a nice picture perfect place (will post pics later) but unfortunately I forgot to bring any sunblock lotion and here's what I got :

I also had one on the bridge of my nose but these ones on my shoulders are the worst. It really hurts so much specially if I lie down. Is there any treatment to this? Help
