Benefits of Drinking Green Tea

I’m recently taking a cup of clear green tea in mint flavor while taking a break from doing my household chores. I was surprised to see that there’s a “FEEL GOOD TIP” at the back label of my tea bag. It says “Meet your friends for lunch today”. Sounds familiar, it resembles fortune cookies wherein there’s a small note with words of wisdom or a prophecy wrapped inside. Tea manufacturer’s thought of different ways to attract their consumers. I’m used to drinking tea nowadays due its health benefits.

Green Tea is prepared from unfermented leaves from Camellia sinensis  that have undergone minimal oxidation during processing.

Celine

Out in a sunny Sunday morning together with my good friend Czarina for site tripping. Waking up early in the morning is an effort on my part since I am a night person. We will meet between 8:30 until 9:00 am at Jollibee Gate 3 Metro Plaza. Commuting by MRT will not give me a headache because it is family day, everyone is at home and few people will be rushing to come for work. She invited me over a week ago to see her new found property for investment. I immediately said yes with no reluctance at all.

We are bound to go to General Trias passing via Cavite Express. It was a smooth and speedy ride yet we can feel the scourging heat, the vehicle's air conditioning system is not working properly.


The project is located at Bgy. Pasong Kawayan II, General Trias, Cavite.

Biyaheng Marinduque

A Trip to Remember

It was my first time to visit Marinduque, a heart-shaped island between Tayabas Bay in the north and Sibuyan Sea to the south. It is located south and west of Quezon, east of Mindoro  and north of Romblon. The province is known for Moriones during Lenten season. It is a religious festival held annually on holy week interpreted by locals; men and women wearing painted masks and costumes (brightly colored tunics complete with armor, shield, lance, and sword) who march around the city for seven days searching for Longinus. 

We are all set to leave as soon as we packed our things. Jam Liner is just a stone throw away from home since we are living beside GMA Network in Quezon City. We have waited for more than an hour and alas the bus is ready to leave the terminal at around 1:42 am of April first, yes it was April fool's day (hope I won't be fooled during the entire trip). Bus fare is basically ₱218; no student's discount given (brought my kids' school IDs). Travel took three and a half hour for a distance of approximately 142 kilometers (88 miles), arriving at exactly 5:12 am in Talao Talao Port, Lucena City. 

First trip going to Balanacan is schedule at 10:30 in the morning so we need to wait for another five hours. What we did is stroll along the area, jog a bit, took some photographs, tried to sleep but it was difficult when you are seated on a chair. I decided to have a little talk with fellow passenger while sipping a hot cup of coffee. Got up from my chair after chit chatting and looked around for ticket seller. 

Booth is already opened and got the chance to buy three tickets, one regular (₱260) for me and the other two for half rate (₱130) for my children. Student's fare is ₱210. Terminal fee costs ₱30 each regardless of age (not sure if below 3-feet in height is free). 

Here's the schedule of RORO (roll-on/roll-off) going to Balanacan Port, returning to Lucena Port and vice-versa. Note: Cawit Port is under maintenance.

 These are the breathtaking and enchanting view near Balanacan Port. I can't take my eyes off from this greatness GOD has created for us.
