Historic with great views, decent coffee, and ghosts? Remembering a trip to Corregidor Island

#shareyourkape #corregidor #corregidorcoffee

It’s October and just like last year, I’ll try to make posts this month to be (sort of) creepy/scary. Now, the pictures on this are not only taken from my first ever iPhone (6s) but also downloaded from my first blog (it’s about food). We once had morning coffee in arguably one of the most alleged haunted places in the Philippines – Corregidor Island.

I’ve always thought this entrance to the inn was ominous, even in the day!

#shareyourkape #pumpkinspicelatte #pumpkinspice #autumnlove

The Philippines’ franchise of Starbucks just recently announced that Pumpkin Spice drinks are once again available. Of course their Pumpkin Spice Latte (or PSL) has a large (cult-like) following in the states which makes sense since, well Autumn/Fall along with Thanksgiving Day is such an important period of time in the year for Americans.

I especially like the most recent ones that are supposed to involve technology startups that, when you really think about it, are not really technology startups. Although it seems to have started its recovery, Luckin Coffee’s saga in my opinion falls under this bucket.

My (unqualified) thoughts about the Aeropress

#shareyourkape #aeropressph #aeropressreview #shareyourkapeunqualifiedthoughts

Not breaking new ground with this one, I’m sure. The Aeropress has been around for a long time and has kind of a cult following – it has its own world’s championships and movie for heaven’s sake. There are many ways to make coffee with it and it can even make something near to espresso. There are several reviews and brew guides with the Aeropress as a subject, mostly by people who actually know what they’re doing, but I have nothing else to write about and have been using my Aeropress exclusively as of late so it seemed fitting.

Yes, the Aeropress.
