👩🍳On the last day of our stay in Milan. We go around frustrated and really don’t wanna go home to work and live home and under this day. Although this is our first travel after the Pandemic also the first travel of this year 2022. We went shopping for some stuff for cooking. And I got my Starbucks cup too. We tried also the Branch of Jollibee in Milan and I tell you frankly, we are not satisfied with all the taste. We are used to European style already. It’s all strange for me. And for my daughter too, being born in Europe and we don’t have Jollibee in Vienna. Anyway, the following day we are leaving Milan and will be back in mundane activities in Vienna. Looking forward to the next travel vlog somewhere in Europe or in an Asian country.

🇪🇺🇵🇭WHAT‘S ON THE TABLE
Throwback, some of my home food prepping during the time my cousin Gie and her son was with us. During their Europe vacation.
That was linner, the first meal I prepared for my cousin Gie and her son. Oven trout, salad, Sarma ( stuffed cabbage), and knuckle of pork (Stelze) and because we are Filipinos rice is a must!
Here again brekky with boiled Frankfurter, toast bread, strawberry in sour cream, coffee and tea. The time my cousin Gie and her son took their vacation in Vienna. Of course my doggy Mary and Riyad also on the picture.
My spaghetti requested by Noah, Gie’s son (cousin). Bolognese is the sauce I made for them with grana padano cheese plus salad and sliced apples. Someone requested for coffee and tea too.
Food memories brekky a la Pinoy (Filipino) too heavy never again! Imagine; fried rice, longganisa, fried tuyo, scrambled eggs, sunny side egg, and for dipping vinegar with chili spicy of course plus tea and coffee Jesus Christ! What unhealthy life style never again!
🇦🇹HALLSTATT, AUSTRIA
The first time we visited Hallstatt, Austria I think sometime in May 2018 with my daughter and followed in June of the same year with a friend from Barcelona and his sister who‘s living in Vienna too. World heritage. From the skywalk, Charnel house, salt mine, romantic lakes- a paradise for culture and nature lovers like us.
Jen‘s, my niece first snow experience with Lizette, hubby’s colleagues daughter. Coming from a tropical country like these two girls how do they feel seeing snow for the first time?
This video down here says it all.⬇️🤣
The ancient salt mine village, with a unique culture, a breath-taking mountain setting and with a lot of nature the world heritage region. The skywalk, Charnel house (Osuary), saltmine and the romantic lakes said to be paradise for nature lovers.
🇦🇹FEELING LIKE…..
Feeling like sorry 😐 for myself since July 25, 2019. The day I tried to be strong but it doesn’t work for me.🥺 I thought I am, until now I’m still fighting. I should always remind myself:
“Don’t let the critics let you down.” ——-unknown
“Choose the hills wisely on which you must do battle.” ——-unknown
Thanks God of reminding me,
He is my refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore I will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though it’s water roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. • Psalm 46:1-3
Slowly but surely my blog helps me out with my struggles. It makes me happy. 😌 Every time I want to post or write something here it eases me.
Today I want to share my August- instant- telegram that partly helped me out with my worries about my job.

🇦🇹MUG COLLECTOR DAY9
It is common for people to collect things from places they travel to. Fridge magnets seem to be a very popular one. It reminds me the places I had been. But not only magnets but also my mugs.
Sunday afternoon snack, apple strudel plus a Starbucks mug of coffee gave me a possitive vibes! My Starbucks mug brought to me by my daughter from Stanbul, Turkey early 2014. Beside from tea lover sometimes I drink coffee too with hubby, just like today I baked apple strudel for snack and my hubby prepared coffee for us. 🙂
This is my third collection among Starbucks mug. Many Starbucks fanatics out there are already familiar with the underground movement of collecting Starbucks Mugs. For sure there are thousands of people collecting these mugs all over the world and I am one among them. It has been mentioned there are different categories or series out there namely: City Mugs Series, Archetect Series and Global Series. So, which among of these you are collecting for? Happy Sunday everyone! 🙂
🇦🇹MUG COLLECTOR DAY 6
Hopefully you are enjoying your day Vienna, eventhough it is a rainy day outside. If you feel like spending the rainy days doing something productive, inside at home or office that better way to warm up. Like us here we are just having our brunch.
Brunch with hubby, egg-rice with garlic and tomatoe plus a mug of coffee. Happy rainy Thursday everyone!
Mug is from Starbucks as souvenir from Barcelona last October 2014. My fourth mug from Starbucks direct from Spain. The mug which will be featured on 9th Day was my third mug from starbucks. Having a starbucks mug at home and with our brunch, is not just like seating inside a starbucks branch with coffee task and service and a place to rest for a few minutes.
🇦🇹MUG COLLECTOR DAY 5
Another Starbucks mug which was brought to me by my daughter in December 2014 from Prague, Czech Republic. She and her best friend stayed for a weekend there and enjoyed the city for just two days. Travelled by car for about four hours excluding rest or break.
My second mug from Starbucks. The first Starbucks Branch in Czech was opened on January 22, 2008 in Malostranské náměstí. Their people claiming that not just passionate purveyors of coffee, but everything else that goes with a full and rewarding coffeehouse experience. They also offer a selection of premium Tazo teas, fine pastries and other delectable treats to please the taste buds. And the music you hear in store is chosen for its artistry and appeal. It’s not unusual to see people coming to Starbucks to chat, meet up or even work. It is a neighborhood gathering place, a part of the daily routine – and they couldn’t be happier about it. Get to know their branch and you’ll see: they are so much more than what they brew. I’ve been there for so many times, not only for a weekend as well just for shopping hours. One among neighbour country of Austria.
Sipping my Lavender Tea product of Sidroga. The tea treat for rest and relaxation.
Overloading, Pressure, Stress and Restless rushing you through the day. Finally, only in the evening is time to turn off everything. The pleasant taste is new to enjoy a special tea from real lavender flowers. Lavender as a tea or bath additive smells of relaxation and summer evening in Provence and is also known as the “blue gold South of France”. Its versatility makes it particularly valuable and popular.

🇦🇹MUG COLLECTOR DAY4
This mug brought to me by hubby from Berlin. He got it from Rahmel-Verlag Souvenir shop. It is not the price of the mug wthat counts but the love and faithfulness in it. Knowing that I am a mug collector, remembering me and bringing home is priceless.
Sipping my tea now, berries with cocoa shell product of Sidroga organic. What could be better than a freshly made, aromatically fragrant cup of tea from sidroga? Precision craftsmanship with a view to a variety of flavors is evident in every variety. Thus you can enjoy traditional tea produced in an ecologically clear conscience. The pleasure even in terms of sustainability. Experience the purity of Japanese tea culture! Keep calm enjoy your tea Folks! 🙂
🇦🇹MUG COLLECTOR DAY3
Monday afternoon after seven and half hours duty I need a mug of tea. Got this tea from our wellness at work for free. Not bad… try it once and now enjoying it!
Going back to work after the festive period can be trying, stressful and exhausting, sipping my tea now can help me getting excited again.
My mug is from Erstings Family- My Home

I bought it from the shop year 2014, I got myself in light blue, light green (in the picture) and two red for my daughter. That huge mug I love it 🙂
I’m having white tea mixture from Sidroga- Organic with Vanilla flavor. Picked by hand, the elaborate workmanship and its low fermentation make white tea so special. Silky fluff surrounds the unopened tea buds and thus gives this unusual tea its name. Aromatic organic vanilla pieces harmonize in my white tea mixture with cheerful yellow sunflower blossoms and round its nuanced flavor from noble.

🇦🇹MUG COLLECTOR DAY2
My ever first Starbucks Mug, 2008 Christmas Holiday Limited Edition 12oz Mug with Candy Cane Handle. I got two of them one for hubby and one for me 🙂
Every year Starbucks releases numerous Christmas themed mugs of varying shapes and sizes.
My Riyanah, drinking milk from my coffee mug — at Dolly’s Kitchen At 10Th District.
I love this edition because of Candy Cane Handle ❤ ❤ ❤
With this mug I love to have my cafe latte. Traditionally the cafe latte is a ratio of two parts coffee and one part steamed milk, mine is the other way around two parts steamed milk and one part coffee. LOL… That is the reason why my doggie Riyanah loves it too.
