let's have a cuppa!

it's tea time!


tea after breakfast (just found this grumpy mug in my cupboard..i almost forgot i bought this)..since i finished almost 50 bags of Lipton yellow label tea and unfortunately it ran out of stock at the grocery store,i opted on Twinings english breakfast tea..i am just loving tea right now..

an alternative to fizzy drinks..no more soft drinks for me (hope i can keep it up!)
 benefits of tea

>>contains anti-oxidants which fights and protects the body from free radicals
>>increases metabolism  (you can burn 70 to 80 additional calories by drinking just five cups of green tea per day)
>>it accelerates calorie burning..calorie-free beverage (just don't add sweetener and milk) 
>>has less caffeine than coffee
>>studies found that people who drank tea for 10 or more years had the strongest bones, even after adjusting for age, body weight, exercise, smoking and other risk factors
>>good for teeth since it contains flouride 
>>one of the single best cancer fighters you can put in your body.
>>decaffeinated tea using a natural process which retains 90% of its cancer-fighting properties.

can't get enough of Hua Hin!

The province of Hua Hin is located 200 km. south Bangkok and is 2-3 hours drive.I've visited the place several times on various occasions and whenever I get the chance, I never turn it down (libre naman kasi).Hua Hin is consists of two districts, Cha am (north) and Amphoe Pran Buri (south). I really can't get enough of Hua Hin...a perfect beach getaway destination far from the hustle and bustle of the big city.





                                               long stretch of white sand beach of Hua Hin


 the view down-under..from the topmost floor of
                                                            Grand Condotel Cha-am




                           The Duke's...serves a wide array of Thai and Italian cuisines.
                            it was built during the period of King Rama VI.
                            not only that, the open air teak wood villa functions as an art gallery.
                            (but don't be disappointed if u can only find very few displays)


                               a perfect panoramic view of the beach while dining at The Duke's

                                                    mouth-watering cakes and scone

                                               improvised heat-operated shredder

                                                   a perfect partner with wine
