Cloud 9 and College Memories

These are the Patchi chocolates I’m talking about. The looks already spell the price.

And just as I desired, I was given the breather that I inched about. It must have already been a week that I am not really bombarded with tasks and the like. The week just went by fleetingly and in a couple of days we will all be warmly welcoming March. Yipee! It’s summer! Who on Earth doesn’t love summer? When I was still a bookish student, I see summer as the freedom from all the things that school got you hooked up with, homework, requirements, you name it. What a good way to spend the day than doing anything you’d love to literally under the sun but I did not actually spend most of my summer days that way. I’m no beach bum, honey.

Paradoxically, I am used to spending summer indoors, at the rents’ crib to be exact and I am not complaining a tad about it. See? I’m a home buddy for as long as I can recall. I really don’t mind spending countless hours at home. As a matter of fact, hours go by so swiftly without realizing it. This could be the reason why I have a seemingly fair complexion though this might have also been influenced by my genetic makeup or whatsoever. I consider this the perk of staying indoors. So, if you wish you to have fairer skin, stay inside the house all the time. This is seven fold effective than the SPF in your lotion. Kidding aside let me gather my thoughts. Okay, lately I have been craving for chocolates. I have come across this chocolate brand called Patchi. This actually roots from Lebanon and is owned by Nizar Choucair. To date, there are already 140 outlets in 28 different countries. Nonetheless, I haven’t tasted Patchi yet because I rarely find this in department stores or even when I can, it seems like it would be a bit pricey so I’m gonna give this up for something inexpensive, like the local cloud9 or curly tops perhaps. These are amongst my greatest indulgence. These goodies are proudly Pinoy but these are as delectable as the imported ones. In fact, Cloud9 reminds me a lot of my college days. I remember back then that every Sunday I would do some grocery-buying (since I am staying in a dorm) and I would usually get a box of cloud9, my comfort food for the entire week. The memory of me relishing every bite of the Cloud9 freshly lingers on my mind as though it was only a few days ago but goodness gracious, it had been some 5 years ago since I was a college freshie. What I cannot forget about Cloud9 is that I usually nibble on this before I snuggle myself to bed. What a better alternative for a sleeping pill than a bar of cloud9. At the course of the day, I would just find myself reminiscing about those funny things that never fail to draw a smile on my face. 

Nothing beats a bar of cloud9. Thank you for the comfort you have extended to a friend in need. ;)

And here’s another fave…Inexpensive yet the taste of it tickles my palate.
