Are you a bookworm? Would like to sip? Wanna Dine? or just feeling posing? why not? well then you should visit Book and Borders Cafe, now open in Mckinley, Tuscany.

Recently, I was invited to cover and attend the launch and opening of Book and Borders Cafe in Mckinley, at Tuscany. It was its second branch to date, I was also there in the launch of Book and Borders Cafe Tomas Morato branch, their first branch. I enjoyed my stay there, the good food, to sip coffee, to read a book, that's why I really got excited to be there also at Book and Borders Mckinley.

They say great things happen little by little or Sip by Sip. So let's sip at Book and Borders Cafe, they have cold and hot drinks of your choice even my favorite mango shake!

It's been a year since my last and first visit at Sandbox in Porac, Pampanga, and it's nice to be back here!

Last time I was with my friends, this time I am accompanied by my girl version cousin haha! as they always say.

So what's new in Sandbox? 

Last time I have tried the giant swing, aerial walk and the kite flying. I wanted to try the rollercoaster zipline but last year it was still under construction, but again in my recent visit there was not yet my time I guess to try it but I tried the newest attraction there which is the Archery! Actually the regular Archery was already open since late last year (2015). This time they added "Aqtiv Archery."

Actually I failed to try the new "AQTIV ARCHERY," just tried the Archery, since it was my really first time to try Archery, and I tried the regular Archery first so I did not have the energy to try the Aqtiv Archery as well, you know, not that athletic person haha! But I must say that Archery seems easy and fun, yes its really fun but its not that really easy as it seems. To try it you have to be wearing the protective gear that you will be wearing for your arm for a possible bounce back of the string of the bow. There is this proper way of holding the bow, it is not reversible as you think, it has a proper orientation and side where you should be holding it, as well as the arrow, it must be properly placed or you will be throwing the arrow wrongly. lastly there is this rule that once you pulled the trigger (string) you cannot just return it, you should fire once you pulled the string. pulling the string requires much force and there is this technique that your pulling arm should touch your face near the arm to get your aim of the target and to avoid shaking and be stabilized and then you are ready now to throw your arrow! Unfortunately I didn't get to hit the bull's eye, one of my arrow in fact flew away far and hit the grasses haha! But guess what? my girl cousin, who is also a first-timer to try bow and arrow did hit the bull's eye!

Here are the as of now packages you can purchase at Sandbox, enjoy!

Have you ever lost someone, something you thought you'd never lose or you think you can't afford to lose? I know how painful it is or it can be, because I have experienced losing someone or something very important to me. When you just want to cry that hard and release it, and it's ok, we can be sad, we can cry, as they say the strong ones are those who acknowledge pain and face it.

Sometimes, or more often, we always ask why? Does this really need to happen? Our experiences may not be that same but I can say "yes," I believe that some unfortunate loss to us can be also the other way around and be a blessing in disguise instead.

Whatever unwanted event happen in our life, we must be positive always, be brave, and smart to think what God is trying to send us message with that situation. In my case, I lost in love, I loved someone who didn't loved me back and just made me fall for nothing. I suffered so much pain, but I guess this event in my life also made me realize the lessons I should learn, how I should learn to love myself first and to accept that sometimes there are things that'll will not work out for us, no matter how much we wanted it, we must face that reality in life. We should learn to move on, we should learn to let go, to accept things. We should not be afraid to lose and try again in life, no matter what. Life goes on, live it with hope and love.
