An Ode to the Good Cup

There is more than caffeine in my cup.
There is but a goodness or two in every drop.



 Every sip of that blessed velvety elixir of life,
People should know that it’s also a means to end strife.



 If only all coffee companies were like Nescafe,
the world will be a much better place, I say!




For they have a Nescafe plan and this in their Tagum Farm I’ve seen,
they care about Rural Development and buy from local farmers their coffee beans.




Sure they still import 75% of their beans and that’s not a surprise,
But they plan to reverse that ratio in years and coffee will be more localized. 



 Nestle made all efforts such as partner with those governing our nation.
They’ll provide technology, training and technical education.




 I’ve seen their employees and their faces beam with gold,
I know that i’m in a real good company that is above the mold.





I’m really happy and proud to know that my wake-up partner
Is not simply just a brand, but a real life-changer!



When I went to Tagum farm and their respective buying station,
I was definitely on a coffee learning mission.





Never in my wildest dreams and imagination,
I thought i’d come home with such illumination.



Oh yes, my blended friend, we owe so much to you!
Careers, achievements and relationships too.





Now that I know every tedious process that my favourite drink goes through,
I hope anyone who reads this has a heightened appreciation of instant coffee as i do.




=P

Now THAT's Trapo Clutter!

Wow! Now this is Advertising Clutter!!! Look at that! How would you even know who to vote with that much ads in one vacant lot?

This is the one in front of Jollibee, along Doña Soledad (Parañaque). There are actually 3 of those in that one long street. Poor vacant lots, violated from their purity. From what used to be clean and neatly trimmed grasses, is now inhabited by this jungle of political ads.

And if you think that's enough...
After just one turn, the next street is yet again full of these political ads. And it's even longer! Talk about a full campaign making sure everything gets covered!
It's covered all right!

What I'm fighting for is my freedom for a beautiful summer sky and warm summer breeze! Ugh! I can't even enjoy summer here with all these ugliness! I wish Elections would end soon and that it would be a successful one!



PS: Hayyy... My dearest fellowmen, when will we learn? Don't you love our beautiful country? Why do you always sacrifice your principles for a couple of "Ninoy's" from these guys? And still endlessly complain about them in rallies. Act now or sacrifice another ugly summer later on. I wish there will be a limit or ban to all this political ads. Whomever has power, please make regulations soon. I wish more people can do ads like the one Nation Paint did. The one where the wall was talking to the one putting on political ads. I really love that. As for me, I am very excited to vote for the first time. I might as well practice my right after falling in line for 10 straight hours last December for Registration of Voters. And, as soon as I get a land a job in one of those agencies, I will try my best to lessen the ugliness! Promise!
