The Daily Grind: A Corporate Girl’s Coffee Journey in the Philippines


Hello, mga kapeling (coffee enthusiasts)! My name is LJ, a corporate girl with a relentless passion for both work and coffee (I mean, I have to and coffee saves my life). In the bustling streets of the Philippines, my love for the daily grind is not just about office deadlines but also the perfect brew that keeps me going. My content is about my relationship with coffee, hip cafe finds, and informational stuff about coffee as I tread the corporate waters. Join me on this coffee-fueled journey, where every sip is a step closer to conquering the day. Ikaw, para kanino ka bumabangon?

My blogs will focus on the following topics in one way or another:

  1. Coffee Culture in the Philippines
    In the heart of the Philippines, coffee is more than a beverage—it’s a culture. Each location has a unique charm that complements the rich coffee culture in the country.
  2. Brewing Bliss: Coffee Beans and Coffee Machine
    My coffee journey wouldn’t be complete without the perfect brew. In some way, we started with our trusty companion, the French Press, transforming those ground beans into a cup of pure motivation. Soon, we moved on to full-blown machines just to make our coffee a tad but better. I mean, who cares? It’s not just a machine; it’s a ritual that kickstarts our day.
  1. Exploring Coffee Pairings in the PH
    Curiosity leads me to explore sundry cafe menu in the Philippines. From the aromatic allure of black and white coffee to the tempting treats like caramel cake and napoleones, every choice is a delightful journey we can take through the flavors of the Philippines.
  2. Coffee Around the World
    Venturing beyond local coffee havens, I explore how coffee is served globally. I have yet to traverse the vast Western lands for coffee grounds (get it?), but with research, my blog delivers useful information on bean origins or where to find the tastiest cup if joe. From the simplicity of coffee in a paper cup to the energizing brew at Coffee in Jollibee, each experience adds a touch of international flair to my daily routine.
  3. Coffee and Health
    Come on, when 2024 was just brewing (Disclaimer: You’re dealing with my puns from now on), being mindful of my health is on top of my resolutions. We’ll explore options like coffee drops which is suitable for diabetics in the Philippines, not to mention yours truly being from Bacolod, the city of sweet smiles. It’s a small adjustment that ensures our coffee journey is not just about pleasure but also well-being.

A corporate girl of 5 years, my coffee journey started from the beginning of my career. This is more than just a routine—it’s a celebration of culture, flavors, and personal growth. Every delightful sip is a reminder that life, like coffee, is best enjoyed one cup at a time. Stay tuned for more coffee adventures and discoveries!
