It’s Always a Fiesta with May Sparkling Grape Juice!

With our high-spirited flair for celebration and inherently fun-loving nature, it comes as no surprise that we Filipinos are renowned for being among the happiest people in the world! This penchant for coming together in the spirit of merrymaking is perhaps best demonstrated in the multitude of colorful annual festivals that happen all over our country, and each fiesta presents its own unique experience. Most provinces celebrate their colorful fiestas during the summer season. Listed below are some of the biggest fiestas that we Filipinos look forward to and are the vacation highlights during May and June:

Pahiyas Festival

Celebrated in thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest, the Pahiyas Festival is held on the 15th of May in Lucban, Quezon. Houses lining the streets of Lucban are finely decorated with agricultural produce, plants and colorful rice wafers called kiping. A friendly spirit of competition fills the air as neighbors try to outdo each other’s decorative creativity, although doors are open and neighbors are all welcome to partake of the feasts laid out inside.

Be #LondonStyle, as UK’s #1 Coffee Chain opens in Manila

It was a cold London afternoon in 1971 when two brothers, Bruno and Sergio Costa, decided to create something truly remarkable. Their love for premium coffee led them to sell their product to local caterers and soon after, to open their very first café. 

Since then, Costa has become a leading global coffee shop brand with over 40 years of expertise. Our irresistible coffee is served in over 3,000 Costa stores around the world. The Costa brothers’ dream was to bring irresistible coffee and community spirit to the people of London – today the vision is bold and simple. To be the world’s favorite coffee shop brand…and this legacy has finally arrived on Philippine shores.

The art of coffee

The Costa brothers created their own unique blend of coffee, a combination of Arabica and Robusta coffee beans. They called this smooth, round but rich tastes, the Mocha Italia and the blend became a closely guarded secret.  To this day, Costa Coffee remains true to the original Mocha Italia recipe, which is still slow-roasted in the Old Paradise Street Roastery in London.

12-12-12 Package From Lipton!

I got a package in the mail  which made my 12-12-12. It was a pack of Lipton Tea with a set of flavors like vanilla, banana, almond and pandan. It also came with fruit juices which can also be mixed with Lipton tea.

Well when I was a kid, I never liked tea. It was back when iced tea became popular that I tasted tea and eventually liked it and tried thousands of variants since then. But I liked Lipton Yellow Tea because they are convenient and also have a rich flavor in each bag. 

I also noticed in every box Lipton is the word "Hirameki" which is based on a Japanese word meaning "flash of inspiration". In the box it shows a different yet fun way of preparing a cup of tea with Lipton teabags.
