Coffee Moments with Sam

I am home...   After 7 years of living in the Middle East, my family and I are back home for good.  Saying "goodbye" to the people who have been a part of our lives during these times was never easy but I believe that the friendship we have shared is beyond time and distance.   Image Source: CFC Middle East Official FB Fanpage On the otherhand, coming home also meant saying "hello" to the people we left behind - our family, friends, co-workers and all the things we missed and looked forward to experiencing once again.   It's going to be a new journey...  a new chapter...  and new "coffee moments" to look forward to.    

This month, Disney Junior Middle East premiered a new show - Doc McStuffins.  Doc McStuffins with her stuffed animal friends  The series chronicles a six-year-old girl named Dottie McStuffins who, one day, wants to become a doctor like her mother. As a kid, she "pretends" to be a doctor by fixing up toys and dolls (because of this, everyone calls her 'Doc'). When she puts on her stethoscope, something magical happens: toys, dolls and stuffed animals come to life and she can communicate with them. With a little help from her stuffed animal friends, Stuffy, Hallie, Lambie and Chilly, Doc helps toys "feel better" by giving them check-ups. Each 11-minute episode includes original songs, the "Time for Your Check-Up" song and the "I Feel Better" song. During ending credits, Doc gives advice to viewers about staying healthy.

SIDE A Band: our favorite band 6 days from now,  my husband and I will be celebrating our 8th Wedding Anniversary.  A few days back, we were blessed to celebrate this in advance by watching the concert of our favorite band, Side A.   Being based abroad for the past 6 years, it's been a while since we watched a local Philippine band.  And what made it even more significant was having our favorite band come to Dubai and perform their classic hits.  My husband and I missed having perfect moments like this - going out on a date and having time out from the stress of work and home responsibilities.  No thoughts or even worries about anything else, just enjoying each other's company.  It was a perfect "coffee moment" for us... reminiscing our "girlfirend-boyfriend" days, talking about plans for our future and simply just having a great time.  It's amazing how you can fall in...
