15:45 hrs,
Makati City, Philippines
As I was blearily contemplating mixing either a cup of Maxell's or SanMig's 3-in-1 instant coffee or just brewing myself a pot of either Chai or some good 'ole oolong ginseng I stopped to ponder if I should distrust tea leaves from China.....the news station was again running the Sanlu milk scandal and all the affected products from it...
It is dark and dreary in the middle of the afternoon...thanks to the weather we have been having, and with another typhoon on the way...well, I was feeling out of sorts. I needed to sip something bracing and hot while doing my work and going through hundreds of emails....and...as I reached out for the coffee sachet, the tv station I was tuned into suddenly blared out about a Filipino artist doing her works in instant coffee.
Wow!!
Although the colors are in the sometimes somewhat drab (for me at least) realm of brown, they were beautiful! They were eye-catching! The Filipino artist is Sunshine Plata...and I am really proud of the creativity that is inherently built into the Filipino gene. *puffs like a puffin*
Not to mention, it is a cheap medium too
One of her works, which is a favorite of other people, entitled "Fairy of Sorrows".
Do check out some of the links I found while googling her name:

Hmm...I wonder what would be next, orange juice? milk? squid ink? avocado seed?....
