Café Caw

It’s my friend’s birthday and after we had dinner, we couldn’t decide where to go. After squishing our brains out thinking of where to hang out, we decided to visit one of the newest coffee shops in town, Café Caw. It’s located in Salinas Drive Lahug, Cebu City right across JY Square. We rode a public vehicle and arrived in less than 10 minutes.

Me and the birthday girl, Sofia. This photo was taken outside café caw. Their colorful designs and alluring ambience is simply fascinating. You can already smell the mouth-watering aroma of coffee as you enter the café.

I had no idea what to have so I asked them what their best sellers are. They recommended these: hot hazelnut and iced vanilla espresso! I just love the bittersweet taste. I wasn’t able to take a photo of the cookies and cakes but I’m surely ordering those next time.

When I was on my way up, I noticed this sign perfectly written on their staircase. Seeing this, I concluded that the owner must be very imaginative.

These are the interiors of the second floor. Pastel-colored couches, cushioned-sofas and lots of mirrors! 

Coffee is a good source of antioxidants and may lower the risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. But it doesn’t only have health benefits; it also teaches us a thing or two: even if we experience life’s bitter strife, we must always remember how sweet it still is.

Letters to Everything (Chapter 1)

  Hello everything, I met you at a time when I was at a crossroad trying to make sense of the life ahead of me.

I struggled to open my heart to anyone because it was ripped whole leaving nothing but a hollow. I was once told that I was dreadful and that I will never find anyone sane enough to ever put up with me. But you felt strongly against that and told me what you see - kind and thoughtful and loving. I cried thinking about all those years I was convinced that I deserve all that pain and trauma. There is no denying that I am flawed but you made me feel that I am enough and thinking otherwise is a grave mistake. I carried so much hate and negativity, but your compassion taught me to focus on the good. You knew about my pain, but you never made me feel that I was broken. Instead, you hug...

Positivity

October 15, 2013 at approximately 8:15 in the morning when a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Central Visayas, Philippines. Everyone was trembling with fear and I.. I wasn't an exception. It was a holiday in celebration of Id-ul Adha or the Muslims' feast of sacrifice. I thought it would just be an ordinary day, I've never been so wrong. My flat was on the second floor and while I was taking a shower, prepping for work, I felt a slight tremble but thought it was just a big truck passing by. I initially ignored it but it grew stronger and faster so I panicked and threw my toothbrush and clothes, grabbed my towel and hurried to my room. My roommate who happened to be my cousin was shouting while grabbing me under the bed. We were so terrified that we decided to go home to my parents'. We rode a cab and the moment my mom saw me, she hugged me tightly. We experienced lots of aftershock -- some strong, some not. I was not used to “not doing anything” so I borrowed my siste...
