Best coffee choices

My husband and I have just concluded our coffee adventure. For the past 3 years, we’ve visited every coffee nook in the Metro. Our ultimate goal – to name or at least nominate the best hot and cold coffee in Metro Manila. As we hopped on from one coffee joint to another, spending more than we should for a cup of coffee or in our case 2 cups of coffee. We tried to give each nominee equal chances and enough room for a good fight. We went to at each shop at least three times and we went to as many branches as we can. Whether it came from a well-known brand or a convenience store, we’ve surveyed and sipped into each and every coffee cup.
After 3 years the last visit turned out to be a good nominee as well. Well, here it is, our rundown of our top coffee choices:
Hot:
1.) Blenz Belgian chocolate Cafe latte
2.) 7-11 Caramel Macchiato
3.) Starbucks Mocha cafe latte
4.) Figaro Capuccino
5.) Mocha Blends Choco Cafe Latte
Cold:
1.) Java Man Choco Javaccino
2.) Blenz Belgian Choco Frost
3.) Starbucks Java Chip Frapuccino
4.) Coffee Bean Iced Blended coffee double chocolate
5.) Gloria Jeans Choco Macadamia
Note that 2 very unbiased people contributed to this short list. We don’t care about any of these brands. We just enjoyed their coffee. This is not at all a basis of or based from anything scientific because hey, we were just having our fun with coffee.

Number 1 Restaurant: an unsolicited review

I just had to write about this great new family resto we've been liking since we found it! I'm not sure if they have other branches but I do pray they expand soon. I'm talking about a place called Number 1 Reataurant located at SM East Ortigas. First of all, I don't even know what type of restaurant it is because of the wide and i mean wiiiide array of choices that it offers. It's like a Jollibee, Tokyo tokyo, Bonchon and Mang Inasal rolled into one! Amazing! Second, the food is good. I can't say it's exceptional but it more than ok for a fast food joint. And lastly, the price is awesomely affordable! For a family of 5, we've been able to order for all of us a total of 5 dishes for only P577 drinks included! With the taste, spread and price, Number 1 resto is definitely something worth mentioning! Can't wait til our next visit!

Milleneals were able to save during the pandemic and they need to invest now

I got invited by people from Vista Residences to talk about Investing Tips for Millleneals. This will happen on Dec 1 via their Official facebook account. Please see here to registration link. https://www.vistaresidences.com.ph/ https://www.facebook.com/VistaResidencesOfficial/posts/3825522130801187 As I was mulling over the topic for my talk, I needed to do some research on this generation which has been misjudged and misunderstood by the older gen, including mine (Gen X). But as I conclude my deck, I realized that every generation has gone through that stage in life where self-realization is a foremost need. Sometimes more than financial stability, the need to find the self is I think one of the most important ideals for the said Gen Y. This is evidenced by its high level of patronage of travel promos and DIY get away trips by most of the middle class even those belonging to the lower middle class. I remember one of my staff in the office tel...

To OFWs: Starting your home purchase is the greatest decision you'll ever make

I have read a worrisome article from an OFW forum which has been shared and has circulated among OFW group communities. It mentioned that purchasing real estate may not be a good idea for OFWs. Apart from the fact that he the writer is trying to convince his audience to buy "stocks" as a form of investment, I am really not sure where he is coming from. I have been a daughter of an OFW since age 2. One of the earliest conversations with my dad circled around his reasons for not choosing to work locally. And the very first of these reasons was for us to have a decent home and a good life. 3 years into his work as a cashier in Jeddah, he bought a piece of land and 2 years after we moved into our unfinished house. Slowly over the years my mom would try to make major improvements like an extension or a interior finishing or a semi permanent partition which would later on form part of a still unfinished house and lot. During that time there was no concept of a house and lot...
