I rue the day I first tried Coke. I don’t know how or who got me to try Coke, but I wish I never had because it is a hard habit to break.
So yes, I still drink Coke and I’m still trying to stop. But I had 3 Cokes today. Tomorrow, no Coke for me.
Well, I had an excuse. I got this Coke invitation, which I couldn’t turn down.
I have no idea how they found out our cook is named Lydia, but she was thrilled when I gave it to her.
Lydia deserves a Coke because she cooks the best liempo in town, and may I add—perfect with Coke and rice.
But this is more like it 
Today I went to the Share A Coke launch x Bench at SM Megamall’s Fashion Hall.
The phenomenal Coca-Cola campaign that has taken over 50 nations by storm is finally in the Philippines.
Leading the celebration was Jasmin Vinculado, Marketing Director of Coca-Cola Philippines, who also headed the first ever Share a Coke campaign in Australia.

“We brought Share A Coke to the Philippines with one goal—to share happiness. Sharing a Coke is a simple yet fun and exciting way for us Filipinos to be able to show our appreciation to people who make us happy. For mothers who cook our breakfasts every day, for the fathers who drop off their children to school every morning, for the friends who listen to our never-ending problems, for the manang who serves our food in the cafeteria, for the manong who opens the door for us and wishes us a great day with his bright smile, for everyone who has shown us kindness—we would like to share a Coke with them simply because we know that happiness is made more real when shared,” Vinculado said.
