Coffee Break

 
Today I meet up with Dave at Second Cup for a much needed coffee break. Sometimes it just feels great to sit with a friend for a couple of hours and let out all your pent up anxiety and school-related stress.
 
Dave was feeling festive (probably because of the flurries we had throughout the day) and decided to get a warm apple cider. I went with my usual caramel latte order, but I was really excited when I saw how pretty the barista made the caramel design.
 
 
I was really impressed! I’ve never received a caramel latte with a design as intricate as this. I’ve always wanted to order a latte at one of those local coffee shops that create patterns and designs using the steamed milk (like this one here), but this will do for now!
 
 
Like a lot of my guy friends, Dave has been growing a mustache for Movember this year. Personally, I find it looks a little strange on his baby face. I let Dave have a look at some pictures I took this evening and his reply was simply, “I don’t know how I feel about this facial hair”. I have to agree with him, but at least it’s for a good cause!
 
 
I also brought some chocolate for Dave and I to enjoy while sipping our warm beverages. It was a great idea. I should definitely make a point of taking frequent coffee breaks with friends more often in the future. Even when things are busy it’s great to step away from things for a few hours to catch up.
 
 
I also got to make my wish on 11:11 today! I’ve been looking forward to this day for nearly 2 years, because it marks the date 11/11/11, making wishing on 11:11 so much luckier. I missed the morning 11:11 because I was in a meeting at the Alumni House, but I did manage to catch the evening one just a few minutes ago. I had actually forgotten about it, but as I strolled into the kitchen I caught a glimpse of the clock on the stove and my timing was perfect. I feel like it’s even luckier that I caught it spontaneously. I hope my wish comes true!
 
I hope you guys had a good remembrance day and best wishes!
Lest we forget.

  1. Its like you read my thoughts! You seem to know a lot
    about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
    I feel that you simply could do with a few p.c. to pressure the message home a bit, however other than that, this is
    excellent blog. A fantastic read. I will definitely be
    back.

  2. I think everything posted made a lot of
    sense. But, think on this, suppose you were to create a awesome headline?
    I am not suggesting your content isn’t good., but what if
    you added a post title that makes people want more?
    I mean Coffee Break – Nature is Love is kinda plain. You
    might peek at Yahoo’s front page and see how they write news headlines to get people to click.
    You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to grab people interested about what you’ve got to say.
    In my opinion, it would bring your posts a little livelier.

  3. Hi exceptional website! Does running a blog such as this take a lot of work?

    I have very little understanding of programming but I had been hoping to start
    my own blog in the near future. Anyways, should you have any ideas or
    techniques for new blog owners please share.

    I understand this is off subject however I simply needed to
    ask. Thanks!

  4. It’s actually a nice and useful piece of information. I’m
    happy that you simply shared this helpful info with us.
    Please keep us informed like this. Thank you for sharing.

  5. I have been exploring for a bit for any high quality articles or weblog
    posts on this sort of area . Exploring in Yahoo I at last stumbled upon this
    site. Studying this info So i am satisfied to show that I have an incredibly just
    right uncanny feeling I found out exactly
    what I needed. I most undoubtedly will make sure to don?t fail to remember this web site and give it a look on a continuing basis.

  6. Hello this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use
    WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how
    so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  7. My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.

    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a number of websites for about a year and am worried about switching
    to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  8. Hi there, just became alert to your blog through Google, and found
    that it is truly informative. I’m going to
    watch out for brussels. I’ll be grateful if you continue this in future.
    Many people will be benefited from your writing. Cheers!

  9. Hiya! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing
    a blog post or vice-versa? My site covers a lot of the
    same subjects as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other.
    If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an email.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Fantastic blog by the
    way!

  10. My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find many of
    your post’s to be exactly I’m looking for. Do you offer guest writers to write content for you personally?
    I wouldn’t mind creating a post or elaborating on a
    number of the subjects you write about here.
    Again, awesome web log!

  11. When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox
    and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment.
    Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
    Many thanks!

  12. Good post. I learn something totally new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon everyday.

    It’s always interesting to read through content from other writers and practice a little something from other sites.
