SIMPLY DIVINE

"Divine messages come to you all the time."

"They come through dreams, through snatches of songs, through things that you read which resonate with you, through synchronistic conversations, and most of all, in the quiet recesses of your heart. 

You may not have encounters with burning bushes, but that doesn’t mean God isn’t talking to you!"

HAPPY JULY




I almost forgot, Happy July 1st! :-) Hope everything turns out A-Okay for us all.

WORK IT OUT!

With all the food I have been eating, I really need to work out. But, exercising is easier said than done. However, I can no longer put it off. And so, I am very happy and proud to tell you guys that I DID it! I finally started working out regularly! Yay! :-) I guess once you start, you can't stop. At least, I hope I won't. 

I start off with yoga to warm up and then use a stepper and some dumbbells to work out both my legs and my arms. I plan on using a jump rope or adding some jumping jacks to my routine soon.

I hope to wake up earlier than usual so I can exercise earlier to. It's so much better that way. 

So, wish me luck! And, I hope you guys will start working out too. :-)

TEA and SYMPHONY

It's tea time once again and to shake things up, instead of the usual Celestial Seasonings Decaf Mint Green Tea, I am trying Twinings Green Tea and Mint
and I am pairing it with one of my favorite snacks, Quake Overload.



With my favorite teacup and saucer


I love that Twinings has an Ethical Tea Partnership with tea workers and their environment. :-)


Brewing my tea for two minutes in my fave teapot


It even came with a free tea canister :-)


Quake Overload really rocks my world! 


So yummy! :-)


For tea time, I cut it into smaller, bite-size pieces

And then, just turn on your iPod or the radio and tune in to your favorite radio station while having tea and there's your tea and symphony. :-)


 Have a loverly day!

P.S. 
Here's a brief history of the Afternoon tea:

UBE SANSRIVAL

While me and my mom were shopping for groceries, I saw this:


I've always loved sansrival, even the cheap one from Burger Machine tastes good, but I haven't tried this one from Cafe Ysabel, so naturally we had to get it. 


What's intriguing is its unique ube flavor. My mom loves ube, so we really had to try and taste it for ourselves.


It doesn't disappoint! It tastes sooo good! Better than regular sansrival. I can't wait to try the other flavors such as mocha and chocolate. :-)

 

PRICE TAG

I love Jessie J's songs. One of them is Price Tag. A lot of you guys have probably heard it, but for those who haven't, here it is:


Seems like everybody's got a price
  I wonder how they sleep at night 
When the sale comes first and the truth comes second  
Just stop for a minute and smile
 
Why is everybody so serious? 
Acting so damn mysterious  
You got your shades on your eyes 
and your heels so high  
That you can't even have a good time
 
Everybody look to their left
  Everybody look to their right  
Can you feel that? 
Yeah We'll pay them with love tonight
 
It's not about the money, money, money 
We don't need your money, money, money 
We just wanna make the world dance  
Forget about the price tag
Ain't about the cha-ching, cha-ching 
Ain't about the, yeah ba-bling, ba-bling  
Wanna make the world dance  
Forget about the price tag
 
We need to take it back in time  
When music made us all unite 
And it wasn't low blows and video hoes 
 Am I the only one gettin' tired?
 
Why is everybody so obsessed? 
Money can't buy us happiness  
Can we all slow down and enjoy right now 
Guarantee we'll be feelin' alright
 
Everybody look to their left 
Everybody look to their right 
Can you feel that? 
Yeah We'll pay them with love tonight
 
It's not about the money, money, money  
We don't need your money, money, money 
We just wanna make the world dance  
Forget about the price tag
Ain't about the cha-ching, cha-ching 
Ain't about the ba-bling, ba-bling  
Wanna make the world dance  
Forget about the price tag

  It's not about the money, money, money 
 We don't need your money, money, money  
We just wanna make the world dance Forget about the price tag
Ain't about the cha-ching, cha-ching  
Ain't about the ba-bling, ba-bling  
Wanna make the world dance  
orget about the price tag
 
It's not about the money, money, money  
We don't need your money, money, money  
We just wanna make the world dance  
Forget about the price tag
Ain't about the cha-ching, cha-ching 
Ain't about the ba-bling, ba-bling 
Wanna make the world dance 
Forget about the price tag
Yeah, yeah Oh, forget about the price tag

DELIVER

Found this message and wanted to share with y'all:

"The world never delivers on its promises...

Make more money and you'll be happier, get a bigger house and you'll feel satisfied, buy fancier clothes and people will admire you - the materialist's mantra. 

But there is always a bigger house, someone making more money and a new style that makes your expensive wardrobe obsolete. 

Pursue things that deliver: take care of each other, love one another and believe in God. These are things that deliver, and that's a promise."
