Transition of Colors

Transition of Colors
I just noticed that I'm rather so fond of looking at the sky nowadays. It takes my thought out of things. You know! Like a clean state. As a regular worker, I usually have a regular schedule and would go out of work at sunset. I would say I go out of work tired as usual and just seeing the sky above makes me calm down a little bit.


Here's what I usually see. I love it! It's like a masterpiece. The rest of the pictures below are random shots that I took because I thought it's beautiful. 


I guess it's nice that our house is kind of near the bay so somehow we can have a glimpse of the beautiful things happening there. I can't wait to like go there again and watch the sunset closely but please oh please, clean the water. I mean even if it would be a 10 year process, they should start doing it.


I love looking at the sky because it's not always the same. I mean, it's very much like life. There's always something new to appreciate.


I'm kind of thinking to take a sunset picture to each country and like be it my collection or something because I've been thinking of starting a collection of something so I would have stuff to look at to when I grow old or when times like those come. You know. Just being sentimental as usual.

Thoughts on that Haiyan Article

Thoughts on that Haiyan Article
If I were in the situation of my fellow kababayans who were affected by this super typhoon Yolanda, I wouldn't care if all other people post their non sense. I mean, I will appreciate those who are willing to help via their social sites and appreciate help from those who are willing and aren't affected as much by the strong typhoon but I don't think I would take peoples' selfies or food posts, gadgets, or anything against them. Given they don't do that on purpose of course. Or even if they intended to, I don't think I would care. That's probably the last thing I would do. CARE. Because come on, how can a selfie hurt me more? I don't think I would even open Facebook. Would there be internet connection? It's annoying how people think they know how these people feels. Ugh. 

I don't mean to be insensitive but people I think are pretending to be affected by this well in fact they don't. I just know. Like for example, I found this ARTICLE that I am reacting to thru someone who just posted a selfie two days prior the incident and for some reason, she's just saying that people shouldn't post a selfie in times of this calamity because people know they're already beautiful and everybody knows they're beautiful and I was like, what? Bitch you just posted one not so long ago and posted two more prior that so don't act like you care! I'm such a hater LOL. What help can 'not posting a selfie' do? It's something like that but do you get me? Instead of stopping people to post a selfie, why not encourage them to do something resourceful. I have friends affected by the calamity and I probably would understand if they were the one who posted this link on Facebook but no! Because I don't get it. I don't think people are direct messaging their selfies to people and I think direct messaging relatives is more proper to gain information. Although I have seen a couple of people talking about the situation (yes one of my affected friends) in public. And I guess that's fine too. 

Also in that article, it stated that we shouldn't say they should be thankful they survived. What should they feel then? ANGRY THAT THEY SURVIVED? I know there's lack of food and water but come on! I mean, nobody asked for this calamity and nobody wished people to die so I don't think it's wrong to be thankful at all. In times like this, that thousands of people died, and some people survived, I think that's something to be thankful for. And I don't think it's like telling a mother who lost her child that she should be thankful that she still have two children. I guess she should be thankful she's alive because if she's dead, who would take care of her two other children? Do you get what I mean? That statement is just plain insensitive. 

Now I'm not a doctor of humanities or whatnot like the author of the article but as a human being, I find that column illogical at some point. I probably agree with three or four points but the rest are just so O.A. that I can't even. So that's just what I think. The rest of you can have your own opinion about it and I guess that's okay. When I first read the article, I was like, uhm okay yeah. But then I can't really agree and just be okay with it so I am blogging right now. Blogs are just useful to me you know. 

Anyway I really feel sorry for what have happened and I know this post wouldn't do anything but piss some people but I wish that help would be given to everyone and the donated money from all over the Philippines and the world would not go straight to some politicians' pockets because it might happen and yeah. May the odds be ever in our favour! :) Bangon Filipinas!

Is J.Co Worth the Hype?

Is J.Co Worth the Hype?

Hello there guys! I am back with yet another food post. And this might interest a lot of Filipinos more than the others. But yeah here it goes.


It's my sister's idea to get some J.Cos because apparently, that's what's cool. And this post is dedicated to justify just that. LOL nah. 


So we got ours at the second floor of SM North Edsa and we somehow struggled and waited quite a long time to get in front of the line. If you don't know J.Co, they usually have long crazy line of people waiting for their turn to order donuts. And as a commoner, I just can't help but wonder why? I mean, basically, any person would think that their donuts are beyond this Earth delicious and stuff right? That's where the disappointment begins.


I haven't tasted any of this right? If you noticed that the second box only have 3 flaves, it's because my sister told me that those are the good flavors. Actually she just told me about two flavors.


And these are the two flavors I was talking about. Oreology and Tiramisu respectively. Well. They're actually good but not to die for. I mean, I would gladly have glazed donuts from KK anytime over these two. 

Oreology - simple but sweet. Not literally sweet but it has something in it that's so nice.

Tiramisu - Too creamy for me. I don't really get its flavor. It's quite nice though.

Drew Berrymore - Typical blueberry cheesecake donut. Doesn't quite incorporate the cheesecake all that much but quite okay for those who are just craving for it. It's the thought that counts.

Heaven Berry - I must say that I'm a little bit impressed by this. Like I was ready to get disappointed because I thought that it was gonna be crazy sweet but it was actually milky mild. Oh and can I just say that I love the filling. It's like sour berry filling. Nice.

Alcapone - This is probably my favorite. It's topped with almond slices and the combination of flavors is just nice. I don't quite get the base though. But yeah the almond slices did the job. 

That's all I have to say guys. It's actually worth falling in line for because if you never try, you never know. Would I fall in line again? Not anytime soon. I think it's nice to get these donuts twice a year or once even. Because it's just dreadful to fall in line and stuff but yeah that's just my opinion. Oh also! It's not that good for you to have these often. LOL. I just realized I had 5/24 of the donuts. LOL. No regrets.
