My Salted Caramel Machiato @Hebrew Cafe

When we try to skip a portion of the daily happenings of our life, we often call our friends and go somewhere else to talk about anything and try to release whatever uncertainties we had in our thoughts.

We have this place we often visit to have a sip of coffee and chat about things we seldom talk and share about in our chatbox. We always try new flavors but of course, we have our all-time favorite, the Salted Caramel Macchiato. How could I forget the taste, it's sweet and salty. And I can't stop comparing it to the friendship that we have, to the things we used to do, to the place we traveled, to the food we ate together, and to the things we shared that made us cry and laugh together.

I actually miss them and I wish we could have again the luxury of doing things we used to. I am hoping that my qualms about what is happening now will end soon.

Our life is sometimes sweet, sometimes bitter. At times it could be salty, but no matter how it is, don't forget to be grateful and be kind. Try also to brew and drink a coffee with the people you love especially your friends and create more beautiful memories as you still could.

Moving on with "The Song of Achilles"

(Daughter's POV #3) I have been very fond of Greek gods & goddesses, myths, stories, etc. ever since I was introduced to it. So to find ‘The Song of Achilles’ delighted the “fan” in me. When I first saw the title, I thought it would only be how Achilles proved how he was the best. It was kind of true, but it also gave me, the reader, more. So when the book arrived, I immediately flipped off the first page introducing me to a new world that would make me question, cry, and reach out to a love I found in the book. Patroclus’ life was what the book showed first. He was Achilles’ “ philtatos” as what Achilles answered when asked who Patroclus was. His life as a young boy seeking for his father’s validation really got me. He thought of himself as less than average, and it hurt me that someone so young could really think like that of himself. He was a prince too. Just how bad it is to be put in a situation wher...

MALIBU RISING

Malibu Rising. (Made my blood pressure rise too, I think.) (Daughter's POV #5) For my first July read, of course, it was another work from Taylor Jenkins-Reid. I am just so obsessed with how she writes and how I get immersed with it. And, Malibu Rising did not disappoint me. This book might just be my favorite novel written by TJR. The drama, the love, revelations, and confessions just makes this book such a masterpiece. With each page I read, I actually find myself daydreaming as if I am also part of the story. How I feel and connect with each character- especially Nina. How this book tackled her relationship with her father was just heartbreaking. All her life her father was absent, and then he showed up out of nowhere, earned her trust and love, left again for another woman, then showed up years later because he’s already old, lonely, and needs his “family” and their “forgiveness.” The anger and sadness just mixed and my emotions were literally all over the place. How pr...

More Than Blue

More Than Blue (Daughter's POV #4) If there is anything I love about Filipino films, it’s how dramatic and cringy they could be yet it still gives you the feels. I’m well aware that More Than Blue was a remake but I’ll refuse to acknowledge that for now since I haven’t watched the original one yet. For the Filipino remake, I will admit that they did a great job in casting JC Santos. He is a very phenomenal actor and his crafts are one of the best I’ve seen. Films with him are just so good. So I really was looking forward to watching More Than Blue. A screenshot from the trailer I watched More Than Blue with a friend of mine. It was clear to me that she really enjoyed watching the movie. Only with a few complaints that the movie never stated the time frame we are in. Just a while ago they were in high school and then cut-! they’re working already. I had the same sentiments since I got confused too but it wasn’t really that hard to catch up with what the film is trying to co...
