the day i knew there's national coffee day...

its all thanks to social media these days news spread-out in no seconds at all... if not how did i find-out its 'national coffee day' today!

i tweet/posted on fb the other morning asking about the truth of bombing news in subang(?) i read via my twitter. an uncle responded in less than 20 minutes that it was a combined explosions of leaked commercial gas in the gas storage underneath the ground floor of the empire shopping gallery in subang jaya.

so its the national coffee day today. americans are scrambling to grab their free cup of coffee. although its nothing happened here, i as a coffee lover ensure i drank coffee and nothing else, just for the joy of celebrating the day. nonetheless for a coffee lover like me, everyday is a coffee day for us anyway.

excerpts from http://nationalcoffeeday.net:

My conspiracy theory is that the big coffee chains started it as a smart way of promotion — hey, there is a food day, so why not a National Coffee Day? It sounds fun anyway!

So sorry, in short I don’t have an answer for you on the origin but if you do know about the history of this event please drop a note below.

happy coffee day everyone!...

remember 3 good things

there will be days when there seems like nothing is going well. the back pain is flairing, the co-worker next to you finds it funny when he is a little extra annoying, and you can’t seem to get anything done (constantly interrupted).

a few weeks ago i felt like this and i remembered a great technique that always helps.

remember 3 good things.

i learned this trick from a good on-line friend of mine.

at the end of your day on your commute home (or if you work from home before you leave your home office) – remember 3 good things that happened to you that day.

they can be the tiniest things ever.

they could be:

• the first cup of coffee you had this morning.
  
• the bird chirping outside your window.
  
• seeing your children's face before they go to school that could make you smile all day.

whatever you can find, just focus on those three things and watch what happens. you will notice your mood change in a positive way.

this is a natural reaction. when you focus on the good stuff in your day, it’s a little reminder that there are good things in your life.

what are 3 good things that have happened in your day so far? let’s talk in the comments section.
