coffee break

i feel like the bird noah let go after the flood. come to think of it, if the first bird never returned, who was the mate of the second bird since he only carried 2 of a kind? and what if there were homosexual animals there? maybe the dinosaurs noah have in ark where gay that’s why they became extinct…

anyway, i’m back. i was supposed to be in san francisco until next week. but last friday evening (pacific time), i read a lot of feeds in facebook about the flooding in manila. the videos in youtube was just shocking that i called yaya to check up on my house. although i was situated in the higher ground manila, but that amount of rain and 2 storey houses flooded got me scared. the sad part of it is that my house got flooded, knee deep. yaya was quick on her feet to secure all of my stuff downstairs and moved it at the 2nd flr. shoes, bags, laptop, tv, all she can carry. but my furniture and ref got the beating. i quickly rebooked my ticket and got back in manila tuesday morning. lo and behold, all my stuff are back in place. my tiled floors are as white as ever, shoes neatly stacked by the stairs. you can not put a price on good help.

now, pepeng. i need to clear out of manila before this typhoon hits.

but let me share something.

best coffee i’ve tasted. taste like liquid kopiko. it’s brewed, you don’t need to add sugar because it’s already sweet. forgot the name of the restaurant but it’s the al fresco restaurant in maiden lane at union square in san francisco,  before the chanel boutique. try it, really good coffee.
