A natural compound found in grapes, mulberries, peanuts, and other plants or food products, especially red wine, that may protect against cancer and cardiovascular disease by acting as an antioxidant, antimutagen, and anti-inflammatory.

The red wine compound that's famous for protecting the heart may also shrink your waist. An animal study found that taking a daily supplement led to a 13 percent decrease in calorie consumption and a 29 percent increase in resting metabolic rate.

25th at Tagaytay Vista Hotel ☀

Since I've been driving almost everyday since 2008, and most of it is for office work, meetings and beating deadlines stuffits - Tagaytay Roadtrips are looked forward too. Its the easiest, nearest, leisurely-est drive you can do out of Manila, in a spontaneous way. 

Whether it be an "i need to drive away, drink and think" trip, an impromptu getaways with your on-call/adventure seeking friends (check-out; Roadtrip!) or a planned Family Timeout Trip, Tagaytay has always something niiice to offer. 

Last December, as a family celebration for my 25th Birthday; Mum Papi and Chachie did some Tagaytay hits for the gazillionth time. 


We checked in at Taal Vista Hotel and I treated my folks to dinner at Cafe on the Ridge -- Perfect Salpicao, Kare-Kare and Crispy Pata, Oh Pure Tummy Bliss ♥

That VODKA Drink

So whats your choice of poison? What do you prefer to buzz your night out drinking? Long Island Ice Tea, Bloody Mary or a Screwdriver?

Believe it or not, these vodka-based preference are actually based on science. Essentially, vodka is 40% ethanol and 60% water, a combination that produces clusters of molecules called ethanol hydrates. Low structures of these can taste more watered-down which you will like to swill.

Take note of the calorie count though; Long Island Ice Tea -138, Bloody Mary - 120 and Screwdriver - 181. Now, will we go back to our Beer first love?

Verses: HUSH

Part of my New Year's To DO List (Yes, to do list is better than resolutions, they are more attainable since there is a call to action in it) is to send those drafted emails, to voice/read out whats in my heart & mind and to publish most if not all of my written verses.

So here goes one of my love full/hope full verses from 2011:

HUSH 0305

If I can hold you in my arms
To touch your face and hold you tight
I'll kiss your fears and hold your hand -
keeping the faith to be beside, to overcome and just love.

Hush, just listen.
Hush, hold my hand.
Hush, just feel my touch.
Hush, close your eyes.

We don't have to stress it
We don't even have to talk about it
The heart feels more than what you hear
And time I know will prove it clear.

Lovers lost with faith regained
I'd give everything just to hear you say
That you'll do anything for this love to stay.

Hush, let's do this.
Hush, I'll hold you still.
Yes, you can come over.
Tonight we'll kiss the night away.

Random Thought: New Year ♀♂

Aside from faithfully hoping for a brighter & promising year ahead, New Years are for looking back to your past year; both good and not so good parts of it with the intention of patching it up together, tying loose ends if any or maybe just going through the part of it which you have been uncertain how to unravel, again.

Yesterday, I have been blessed with the chance to somewhat do all of those -- and it has been both familiar to the heart and calming to the soul. To affirm your sentiments and to share some laughs with all honesty and candidness is a reassurance that though some good things don't end up as you may have planned, there are better ways of continuing something considered wonderful into something unbreakable called true friendship.

This affirms my previously mentioned sentiments and proves my newly discovered notions on how I would like to daily live my life -- to treat each day as it is presently given and to welcome each tomorrow's surprise (with an open mind, hopeful heart & expectant spirit)

I don't know what this new year will bring, but I still am sure with what I want and feel today.

Happy heart, contended soul. Believing in fate, hopeful for love. In no rush; living the life you love - with music, poetry, rhythm and faith.
