Kopitea - My Cup of Tea!

Well, I'm more of a cold drink-person so it's more like my tall glass of milk tea. I was in Manila when I was introduced to milk teas. I remember looking forward to my after-training reward for myself everyday. Well, I had almost a year exploring different flavors of milk teas until we decided to go back to Aklan.

One day in May, we were picking up my youngest sister at the Kalibo International Airport when we received her text message saying that their flight was delayed. We have to kill about an hour. While driving around Kalibo, looking for a place where we can wait comfortably, I saw Kopitea. I just got back in Aklan so I did not know what it offers. I asked my sister about it. She haven't been there either. A believer about experience being the best teacher, I asked her to come with me inside.

It was actually love at first sight. I love the ambiance, the relaxed and cozy atmosphere inside Kopitea.



We were welcomed with smiles and courtesy. We ordered sandwiches and milk teas. Time flies when you and your tastebuds are having fun. After making some plans for the weekend, it was time to go.

I have noticed that coffee shops sprouted in almost every corner of Kalibo. However, I have always been wary about such trends. Such times are the best times to practice critical thinking, research skills, and keen observation. I always choose the one with the cleanest place. It might be something which is based on the surface but it's the easiest thing to achieve. If a shop cannot achieve that one, I wouldn't dare to think about what's going on inside the kitchen. Then comes the milk tea. Of course, the taste matters. However, there's more to a milk tea than its flavor. In this aspect, Kopitea amazed me with its naturally brewed milk teas which is absolutely free of artificial coloring and artificial flavors. The best thing about it is that their drinks are available in very competitive prices. You can enjoy your dose of Kopitea milk tea for as low as Php65.00.

I learned that they are constantly adding new drinks and dishes to their menu. 





Aside from their new offerings, I am also looking forward to their upcoming promos and contests. If you can't wait to know more and be updated with the changes and events, "like" the Kopitea Fanpage on Facebook. You can also get a free mug once you bought your 25th drink if you have their card.

Their healthy milk tea - this is just one of the reasons why I love Kopitea!

A Wildflower on Twitter


This photo was taken in 2009 or 2010. This was taken in Tangalan Municipal Cemetery when we were there for All Saint's Day.

I am not that active on Twitter. However, I visit whenever someone follows me just to check. When I checked my account yesterday, I saw that there were changes on Twitter. I chose a cover photo and a new profile photo. I chose this one as my cover photo. I love how the color of the flower looks vibrant against my hand and a generally dull-colored background.

These are the praise and worship songs during the May 18, 2014 Sunday service in JIL Tangalan Church. I love the songs but the line that resonates to me are from "Spirit Touch Your Church".

"I want to care for others like Jesus cares for me.."

I just realize that amid pains and disappointments, caring for others can be a tough task.

Here's the PowerPoint Slides of the songs.

Legitimate Ways to Make Money Online

In this modern world, telecommuting continues to gain popularity. As a proof, there are a lot of legitimate ways to make money online. In addition, the population of freelancers who work from home continues to grow. More and more people are discovering the benefits of working at home. It would not come as a surprise if someday, freelancing takes over conventional jobs. For once, it is a change than the majority is willing to embrace. However, a lot of illegitimate companies or websites capitalize on this change to take advantage of clueless internet users. This is why accurate information about legit sites is very important.

Get Smart with your Smartphone

Almost everyone owns a smartphone. In fact, some people even have more than one smartphone. Back then, these are known as phones for business people who need to stay connected to their contacts all the time. However, it is now a gadget that helps people make money. There are some websites that pay people for performing simple task. Some apps pay a smartphone user to take a photo of a restaurant’s menu, to take a selfie holding a specific product or in a particular place, or to verify weather and the traffic condition in a certain place. Some examples of such applications are Juno Wallet, CheckPoints, Gigwalk, and WeReward.

Get it Write

People who have Midas hands for concocting captivating tales and sales that can sell oils to the Arabs should try freelance writing. This is one of the legitimate ways to make money online for writers. There are a lot of freelance sites that can help people earn money from their talent and training, if there’s any. One just needs to build a strong profile, have the necessary tools including Microsoft Word, Skype or Gtalk, and internet connection, and commitment. Some sites wherein people can get writing jobs are Elance, Fiverr, Odesk, Guru, and Freelancer.

A Noble Profession

Teaching is known as a noble profession but now, it is a good-paying profession too.  If a person is good in English and even in another language, he or she can teach online. One can even set his or her own fee and teach in different online language schools such as Italki.com. Such classes are very popular especially in different places in Asia. Nowadays, the average cost of teaching English online is $20 per hour. This is relatively higher compared to other online jobs. However, one needs to have enough expertise in the subject matter, a stable internet connection, and the software provided by the online language school. There are also some private tutorials done through Skype.

Sell Services

One should think about something that he or she does well. Then, the person can sell this service via different websites such as Fiverr. Some ideas are making press releases or press commercials, recording voice over using a particular accent, shooting video on green screen, play an advertisement on radio, composing song or music, and designing icons. It all depends on what one has to offer. Each service or “gig” costs $5 hence the name of the site, “Fiverr”. $1 is paid to the site while the seller gets $4 for each sold gig.

In this day and age, anyone can easily make money as long as he or she has knowledge and skills that another person needs. There are also some people who look for another person to perform a task or finish a job because of lack of time. These are just some of the legitimate ways to make money online that will help people make money no matter where they are.

Noli me Tangere

Image from Inkvent @ Blogspot


Crisostomo Ibarra is a Filipino who went to Europe to pursue his studies during the Spanish Era. He went home when his father, Don Rafael died. Don Rafael was a very rich businessman.

The story started when Crisostomo went home to the Philippines after his 7-year stay in Europe. Don Santiago, a good family friend, threw a big welcome party for him and it was attended by the most affluent and influential people in their area. The next day, he visited Maria Clara, the love of his life who reread his letters to her which he sent from Europe.

Before he left the town, a civil guard revealed everything he knew about the death of Crisostomo's father including everything else that happened before Don Rafael's death. He was wrongfully accused as Father Damaso did not like it that he did not participate in the Catholic Church's sacraments.

Ibarra continued his father's plans and put up a school. In the inauguration, he almost get killed. Elias, who warned Crisostomo of a planned assassination against him, rescued Ibarra.


Father Damaso insulted Ibarra in a lot of other occasions but the latter chose to ignore these insults. That is, until Father Damaso insulted Don Rafael. He tried to stab Father Damaso which led to Ibarra's excommunication. Father Damaso also warned Don Santiago about her daughter, Maria Clara's relationship with Crisostomo.

Change Management: The Business Expansion Secret

Written by: Claire Gellang

People are living a fast paced life today. In order to cope up with this kind of life, change is very essential. Many despise change because it is an indication of extensive and intensive modifications of what is used to be. A lot are even afraid of it yet settling for what you already have and where you used to be is similar to depriving yourself of endless possibilities. In business, entrepreneurs are sometimes in fear of making changes to their businesses. Lack of assurance and the fear of losing their investments are only some of their biggest concerns. Yet, there is something valuable in change management that makes it worth taking the risk especially in the world of business.

Image from Connecting for Health


As time goes by, more businesses are getting cognizant to the fact that Change Management is an essential part of projects’ success that will minimize and alleviate risks, boost ROI and perk up user adoption rather than just another trend covered with jargon. A very crucial element to attaining winning projects is to implement change management methodologies and discover how it affects the quality of project’s upshots.  Learning how to administer change to the peak of its effectiveness will improve the success of your projects in all regards. Yet, not every organisation has recognized that Organisational Change Management is indispensable to the success of their change projects. Moreover, many companies that have made this attempt have only done so partly and still need to go further. Without doing such, more appalling events will partake and history will only repeat itself. Experience the serious consequences of ignoring establishing a change management framework and managing change. 

Image from To be


Managing change is not one of those added function that will be one of countless gobbledygook to tick the box of governance. A healthy modern labour force cannot be productive in an environment that is not based on clear, customized and precise communications and approaches to close the learning curve by closing the information gaps caused by the change. A number of senior managers shun from allowing a full change management method to be incorporated with the project. They don’t consider it “real work” and setting up the change is an opulence and risk which they cannot afford. The irony is that while employees in the business defy the change, people in the project resist a plan to resisting the change.  The excuse of working on time-constrained projects is exactly why change management is required.  The challenge for change practitioners is not only functioning in hassled environments but also working in skeptical environments that compel them to work “below the radar” at times. Multiple companies, on the other hand, have adopted Change Management as a key activity in their business, they still represent a small percentage of all those that would benefit by establishing change capabilities into their daily operations and thus require a change in culture corporate in the growth of change capabilities.


Venturing into business will take and require a lot of courage from people since business is not intended for faint-hearted individuals. In order to extend and widen your business it will also take ample and a high level of courage to make necessary changes. Taking risk by venturing into business does not stop there, embracing change will help your business grow and you as a person as well as widen your horizons making change management essential and necessary.

He said that he has been trading for three years and every day of his life. It was a very lethargic and everyday process. According to him, in order to buy and sell stocks at the exact time, he spends all his time and whole day trading in front of his computer. Even though that there were hear-says that this kind of business is unreliable and has dangerous schemes, nonetheless, he is able to obtain money because he is knowledgeable and conversant on what he is seeking and has the guts on how to get money out of scams without hurting and harming himself.

Actually, the short bet against a company that had been the center of a pump-and-dump scheme was the trade that finally made the amount of his portfolio reached beyond $1 million.
