Pitbull

No, I'm not talking about the dog, but the artist! It was his concert last night and we were there! It was so much fun to DANCE like no one was watching! WOOP WOOP!

"Tonight! Ima love love you tonight!!!"

Sip.

My friend opened a milk tea place called Sip. I love the name and the interior design of his shop. It's contemporary, chill, and very urban-ish. I even love the logo. How adorable is that logo!? I told him to name it Gingerbee, but he doesn't want to. I strongly believe that it is such big loss for him. It'd be totally REVOLUTIONARY if he considers. LOL! So what does Sip serve? He has flavored teas (lemon yakult, hazelnut, green tea, etc.), of course milk tea, and little snacks to nibble on. Here are some funny quotable quotes by him (I can hear him in my ear).

You can't make good milk tea without good tea (it's 50% of the name for crying out loud). 

We've stained our tongues brown and green until we found the right teas to use for our milk teas. 

We also treat tea properly. Using the proper equipment (not a coffee maker, or an espresso machine), at the optimum temperature, for the right amount of time. We steep our teas because that's what we're supposed to do (duh!) (if tea was supposed to be treated like coffee people would say brew the tea not steep (those who say brew the tea should read more)). But it's not, because tea is delicate and sweet with a touch of smokiness (coffee machines will burn the teas because the water is meant for coffee and not tea which will make it bitter unless they use crappy tea to begin with). 

Seriously. We're different because we make better milk teas. Milk teas that taste like milk and tea blended together properly (awesome!). Not like sugar (though you can adjust that), and not like crappy, bitter, burnt tea! And at the end of the day, if we weren't better and sucked bad we wouldn't be here.

For more details, check out the website or just go to the place itself! HAHA!

Have a sip!

Perfect Harmony

I received my very LATE birthday present from a good friend of mine (who is that dude wearing black). He gave me a hand-made music box. It's a funny, random gift. 

Cute little boys playing instruments.

Happy birthday to me!

Disciplined

It's that word up there that I absolutely admire in people. According to my free dictionary app (praise God it’s free!), the word disciplined is defined as a, “behavior in accord with rules of conduct; behavior and order maintained by training and control.” When one is disciplined, there is so much desire, restraint, focus, and determination to meet the desired goal. For instance, my parents are amazing role models.  My dad never missed a day of work just cause he wanted to. For the past, I don’t know, 100 years!? (exaggerating here), he never chose to stay home or pretended to be sick even if he has paid leaves! HAHAHA! How amazing is that? Then there’s mom. Always on time, always ready 1-2 hours before her appointments. Ahhh, that’s just commendable behavior. I wish to meet more people whom I can find inspiration in. We all need positive influences that will propel us to want to be better.

How bout you? What characteristics do you admire in people?

Application part: been studying for my comprehensive exam. Tomorrow, I shall go to school early to start the day right. YAY for accomplished goals! Check! Check!
