The Grandest Place in Belgium

The Grand Platz is the Central square of Bruxelles..this is the most important tourist destination and memorable landmark in Brussels aside from the Mannekin Pis.

I was amazed to see the intricate details of the fascade of the church (at my back). A combination of Gothic and Baroque style.

Paulo Coelho's Shirt @ MANGO

As a fanatic, I got this limited edition of Paulo Coelho's Statement T-Shirt at MANGO for php1250.00.....almost a year ago. I love this shirt [aside from the fact that i am a self-confessed Paulo C avid fan] coz of its color,texture and that the letters are in velvet *something, though I seldom wear it.

I love the statement which says that if we want something the universe will help us to get it...soo positive and motivating. Dream is a matter of faith- faith in getting it...and faith in oneself.

I first encountered this phrase, in Paulo's best selling Book "The Alchemist". That inspired me to pursue my dream of becoming a lawyer oneday...that all the other things are not hindrance in getting our dreams...no matter how impossible it may seem to be. That book also encouraged me to read and collect Paulo Coelho's other books. Funny that I dont have a copy [of Alchemist] upto now. I bought one but I gave it to a friend, on his Birthday...think,way back 2004.

On Shirt: I regret that I only got one...ive realized lately, I should have gotten atleast two or three of his limited Shirts. Or maybe I will just hope, MANGO would release another Paulo Coelho's shirt collection....then, I would buy two with out any feel of guilt! :)

Haggardness...is next to pimples :(

Growing pimples all over my face aren't funny anymore...Bad joke! I never wanted to be a walking Pimple...who would want to anyways?? As I work hard for my process...I've realized I am too..working hard for these uninvited, unwelcomed, undesired zits usurping on my pitiful face. :'( Darn! I wanted to prick them all...abort them and deprive them of their little lives... But I can not put the authority to take them away on my hands. I might just jeopardize it all the more. I BADLY NEED a dermatological intervention!!! I fear those yellow thingie on its eye... The reflection of the mirror begins to give me goosebumps,if not stress. Please be so kind....stay away from me....give me future. The cluster of bumps? so spooky....I feel murdered. Why me? Oh why?? And yes..there are impending ones...it fears me all the more. I wish they would change their minds and transfer somewhere else....hope not on me...not on any part of my body. Hope they're sensitive enough to feel that they are not wanted here...

Starbucks Faves...

All time favorite...my buddy during sleepless nights of reading and relaxing.. Cappuccino with Hazelnut. I honestly can't recall how I've come to know and love this...how i discovered that adding and requesting hazelnut would make my cappuccino all the more perfect.

I love mozarella sandwich especially when served warm. I love the rubber like mozarella..and the after taste of basil. Just yum!...another company during morning hours in Starbucks.

Iam as well a fanatic of teas..Antioxidant just like coffee, soothing and relaxing. Just right to end a very stressful night. I also discovered its healing wonder. A grande of mint tea works for me whenever i have impending sore throat... I love English/black tea with milk. For the mint tea, I simply love it with honey.

Heaven on Earth! >>>yeah its name just fits its taste. A real heaven. Normally, I would have it with tea rather than coffee. It is just sad that a serving isnt enough for my amazing/deceiving apetite. Also, I love the hearts design on it...so cute. :)

Melange and Sacher Torte

Melange and Sacher Torte...I still crave for these authentic Viennesse. Being a coffee lover that I am, it was no surprise that I've fallen in love easily to Melange- Coffee with milk...or Vienna's version of Cafe Latte, the first time I took a sip. A cup or two is just perfect to the cold weather. It isn't too sweet..isnt too strong...and the aroma just makes you awake and make you want to make the most of the day. The Sacher Torte, on the other hand, is simply adorable and a slice of it is heaven. Good that I got the treat from my friends during my short stay....and that made it all the more perfect! :)
