Really. desperation can lead to survival.
The coffee maker has long been staring at me since our arrival in this hotel. But I insisted on buying Nescafe3in1 Latte and Cappuccino. That's happiness already for me.
But today, I decided to change the course of my morning by trying to make my own latte (there is another option, espresso). People who know me well are aware that I am afraid of technology. I am an old school through and through. In fact, hubby wants to buy me an S5 but I kept on convincing him that I don't need it. Buy me shoes instead! :) He looked not convinced with my bargain so I fired my deadly shot "Just because you have means to buy eh you have to buy." I think that closes the deal. :) I hope.
But that's true, especially for an OFW (like us, well sort of), there is an impression (or illusion) of a super magnified power of our money and the tendency is to buy things we don't actually need (and we then create the necessity later). I am not into gadget ever since so why indulge myself in it? I like to have a Prada bag (bad?) so I am setting my mind and my heart into it. Maybe not now. But who knows?

Anyway, back to the coffee maker. :) This morning I conquered my fear. In my mind "If I don't try this now, I have no coffee today". That would be unimaginable! So I made pindot pindot and Voila! Success!
Well, what doesn't kill you won't harm you. This is it.
Happy Vacation folks! We visited 14 churches last year in Mindoro, and I am missing it today. :(
God Bless everyone!
