An afternoon spent with a bottle of Tazo

Tazo - Mango (Black Tea)

The Katipunan heat was scorching, I had no more classes and was just waiting for my girl (chos) Mia 'cause I wanted to stay with her from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm (she was waiting for her date..kidding Mia! Hahahaha!)

We met at the Kostka Benches at around 1:45 pm and as usual, we didn't know what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. So while walking, we were thinking of all the possible place to go and this "thinking" was done in a very "sabaw" way. After 

finally deciding to go to Starbucks, we rode a tricycle and bought ourselves something to eat and drink. I was saving money so I had to settle for something below a hundred bucks and there I saw this cute bottle of yellowish-orange liquid on display - Tazo. 

I have no idea where else to buy the drink but I guess I can assume that almost all Starbucks branches have it. You can buy it for eighty-five bucks and I have to say that it's worth it. It comes with a lot of flavors, three I think but I'm not sure also (is three many?? haha). I was curious about the flavor of the purple Tazo but I wanted to be sure that I liked the taste. I didn't want to waste the money I spent if ever I'm not happy with the flavor, so I bought the Mango flavored one.

The drink was very promising and indeed the description on the bottle was pretty accurate, it read like this:

"In every bottle of Tazo tea, you will find amazingly flavorful teas borrowed and blended with other good things from nature. TAZO MANGO is the mellow and medium-bodied mixture of rare black teas with the exotic taste of freshly picked mangoes and a hearty pinch of amusement at the endless wonders of life."

It does sound kind of deep to describe a drink, don't you agree? Hahaha!

Well, based on my own experience (oh god all of this for a drink??? anyways..) it was....hmmm, "okay" seems like a very safe word so I'd stick with that since I haven't come across a drink that tasted like Tazo. The flavor was unusual, it was like a mix of not just mangoes but also oranges, peaches and pineapple. It's a little concentrated so I would prefer to drink it with a lot of ice or even half-and-half with water but I believe that being with good company makes everything taste better. I was with Jake (my best guy friend) and Mia when I was drinking it and I didn't really mind if it was concentrated but when I went home and drank the last of the Tazo, I started to notice what was weird and what I didn't like about it. Nevertheless, it was worth the try and they made my day ("they" being Mia, Jake and the bottle of Tazo. Haha!).

I like being able to try new things especially when it comes to food and drinks. What about you? 

Well this was something..

TV Series Police: Awkward Season 1

I'm currently watching Awkward Season 1 starring Ashley Rickards, Beau Mirchoff and Nikki Deloach. I just downloaded it last Sunday and I'm one episode behind from finishing the whole season and I'm loving it so far. I'm really thankful that my girl friends really bugged me almost every day about watching it. I'm really a New Girl fan and I'm a really closed minded person when it comes to watching TV series but hey.. what's wrong with trying something new, right?

I'll try to make a review of it after I finish the whole first season. I have to say it's a good show and all of you should watch it. :)

Right now, after watching episode 10, I'm Team Matty. What about you? What team are you on? Jake's? or Matty's?

NO SPOILERS PLEASE HUHU I REALLY LOVE THIS SHOW NOW. <3

August 25, 2012: Do you know we're married?

        This post won't be long, I'll just tell you what happened the last time I saw Nik (you know my forever crush in my NSTP group). Well, we weren't teacher partners but our classrooms were right beside each other so we can see each other easily, and to clarify things, we don't have anything okay? I just like him, that's all. Okay, moving on... His partner is Alex while mine was Michael, let's not make a big deal out of Mike but I have to tell you that he's really really creepy. Why? He's creepy in the sense that he's so touchy-feely FC with me and I don't like it. Yes, I tell him frankly that I don't like it when he does that, but it's like he hasn't even heard a thing I've said, so to cut the long story short, he's creepy. 

        So let's go to the gnarly part... Nik saw it when Mike was being very touchy and creepy last Saturday! And you know what? He said this to Mike: "Do you know we're married?" and oh my god, my insides were doing backflips and I was trying hard to hide my flush. I wanted to run outside of the room and scream but I couldn't, oh god I wish I had the chance to but that would be too embarrassing. I'm just so happy! I love having crushes.. <3

I should have...

The unshed tears trapped inside me,
penetrating , forcing their way out.
But.. they just couldn't.
Can they really not pour out?
Or is it just me holding them back?
I guess both.

Eight months. They have been deprived from
their sole purpose for eight long months..
To shed.

I don't quite understand this emotion,
My feelings keep contradicting each other.
I don't know what to feel anymore.
Something's not right
In fact, nothing has been right ever since..
Ever since it came in the night and stole you away from me.
But I just let it go away with you.

I was caught off-guard

All because my mind was clouded with my pride.
I tried again and again, but I needed to hold..
Hold on the words I've said.
Regret.

What is it with guys and guitars?

       I've never had a specific type when it comes to liking guys.. or maybe I do but I guess I never paid much attention to it 'cause it doesn't really matter. I wasn't used to talking about topics like this when I was in high school since most of my friends were guys (no, I'm not a flirt and I'm pretty sure that if ever I tried to be one I would suck). Disgusting as it may sound, my friends were open about their "lives" (if you know what I mean) even if you're not asking them about it and based from my own experience it's actually fun to have more guy friends than girl friends because they aren't as emotional as us girls. I admit that I'm really emotional, I guess that's why I'm closer to guys - 'cause I want to be all emotional in telling someone what my problem is without having the person I'm talking to be all emotional with me also just because I am. 

I'm starting to drift off again... let's go back.

        For four years, I've been surrounded by different types of men/boys.... Some are short, some are tall, some are really really tall that you'll feel like you're suddenly morphing into a dwarf. Some are douches, some are nice, some I'm not sure of what they really are but I hope I figure out what to call them sooner rather than later. There are a lot of characteristics to describe the various types of guys that I've seen and encountered and it'll be a waste of time to write about each and every single one so let's focus on what's important, specifically what 's important for me (heeheee, I sound so self-centered).

       For this school year, my friends and I tried to audition as a band for an organization in our school. Well, we weren't really a band but the three of us are really close and we all have similar interests in music so I guess we were in a way "band-worthy" and it all started with that - the music-lover side of me was back. Saturday was the day of not only our band auditions but also a day of NSTP. At first (well until now) I hated the fact that I had to go to school every Saturday 'cause it meant that my days spent at home were lessened (awww) until I met this guy - Nikolas and he liked being called Nik. Nik is my groupmate in NSTP and he's really cool. He's this simple, not that tall, dorky kind of guy and there's just something about him that got my attention. When we first talked, it didn't feel that much awkward since he was really easy to talk to. He was naturally funny (or so I think he is) and through our convo we ended up knowing that we're both having our band auditions that day. Nik was a guitar player, he played the lead for the auditions he played the bass and admittedly said that he's not really comfortable in playing the bass since he was more of a lead-person and I liked him instantly. Lucky enough, my close friend knew her and they were English blockmates so I got the chance to know him more..

       Then there's this other guy.. Gino. He's in my Bio Lab class and we met because we were seated alphabetically and since it was a laboratory room, he was sitting right in front of me. He's friendly 'cause even if he was a freshman and he doesn't know me, he was the first one to say hi. We became friends along with his other blockmates who happened to be my seatmates in Lab and they made it a lot easier for me to adapt to big changes since I shifted courses. When Marga saw Gino and me talking to each other, she started to tease me and whatever, I don't know.. you know how friends are. Hahaha! And I just ignored what she said, but that day, Gino asked my number and texted me. I thought about what Marga said and texted her ASAP, "Marga, nag-text si Gino" stupidly enough.. I sent it to the wrong person, I sent it to Gino. From then on, I didn't pay much attention to Gino but nothing changed so it was fine. Until one day, I stalked his twitter account and found his Sound Cloud account. Out of curiosity, I listened to one song and goodness gracious he's really good. HE'S SO DAMN GOOD WITH PLAYING HIS GUITAR I WANTED TO CRY, and similar to what happened to Nik, I started to have a crush on Gino.  And because of that I seem to have figured out what I look for in guys - I was into guitar players who are funny, dorky, friendly and always happy. 

What is it really with guys and guitars?

What about you? What do you look for in guys or girls?

        

Another blog, Another Life

        I have a lot of blogs, I actually have four blogs right now and this little blogspot baby is the latest one. Now, you may be thinking why I have a lot of blogs when I only need one, it's basically this.. Even though my previous blogs were good blogs, I consider them as my "secret diary" where all my evilness is poured out, and since most of friends didn't have blogs when I was in high school, they were all unaware of what goes on inside my head.

        When I entered college (I won't tell you where I study 'cause I'm trying to be as anonymous as I can but I'm not good in hiding things) I've met a lot of people who have blogs. Most of my blockmates in fact have blogs so.. I don't know, for me I think it's just kind of rude if you don't follow them when they follow you, so I ended up following all of them (nd I'm not sayibg this in a negative way, fyi). They had access to my deepest darkest secrets (they're not that dark, I swear) and I didn't actually know if I was okay with that then. But now, I realized that I lost a part of my life. I couldn't blog about what I really want to blog about 'cause I'm afraid that they might see me differently. My oh-so-honest-about-what-I-truly-feel blog was now filtered; the posts and the words used are not really the "posts and words" that I want to say and truly feel.

        One more problem with this is that my grammar isn't always correct, I have to admit that one and that's a big deal if you're studying in my school. Most of the time I feel ashamed of telling people where I'm currently studying 'cause I don't want them to expect something that I'm not. I'm not as good as all the students in my school, and yet we're all stereotyped to be excellent in everything and I'm pretty sure that I'm not excellent in everything.

Okay wait, we're drifting off....

       So going back.. My main point of making a new blog is basically because I want a place where I can say the stuff I want without being judged by anyone. I want to stop hiding what I really feel 'cause it sucks and I'm not the type of person who can just hold everything in without telling anyone. Some of you might say that that's a bad thing but that's just the way I am. I'm very open when it comes to my feelings and my problems and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I'm just being myself and that's why I started a new blog.

So there.. Hi, I'm Kaye but that's not really my name 'cause as I have said I'm trying to be anonymous as possible. Please feel free to tell me anything, I'm a very open person although I have to be honest that I'm a hater but I love more. Promise. :)

Plus, I'm happy most of the time and I'd be more than happy to hear from you guys. Heeheee.
