(written 9:30 am, this morning)
Today I feel so sluggish. And I don’t know the reason why. I slept earlier than the other late nights. I had my breakfast which consists of a hard-boiled egg, kutsinta with grated coconut and coffee.
I wanted to suspect my monthly period which is almost through. But PMS or premenstrual syndrome always comes before a period (that’s why it is has a prefix pre-). I wonder if there is another PMS which defines postmenstrual syndrome. And I am not nearing the climacteric period yet!
Then I thought I might just need another cup of coffee. I just love coffee and it is an effective stimulant for me – anything between soluble and decaffeinated. Despite the issues (that were not substantiated) about coffee, I go on with this caffeine-filled drink. It is really a drink that I cannot go without in a day.
True, I am a coffee lover but I am not the type who goes to coffee shops regularly to have a sip. Why go to a coffee shop when it can be available at home or in the office? Being a practical person (but not tightfisted), I think I can enjoy simple coffee made at home, or in the office. This is not saying I have anything against coffee shops. The simplicity, affordability and convenience really count for me.
The day is nearing its quarter now… gotta move and be on the go. Coffee please, Mo!

i'm not a coffee lover but i do drink coffee when i go out with friends. at work, i usually drink hot choc. but if i want something different, i add a bit of coffee into my hot choc. tastes better :) my colleagues love it.
ReplyDelete@thesearemyconfessions - ok ba yun hot chocolate + coffee? i'll try one time. and i'll tell you what i think of it.
ReplyDeletehow about drinking milk instead of coffee? :-)
ReplyDelete@ka webspy - ngee... i hate milk, e. pero 'lam ko, healthier ang milk. i just cannot fight this fascination sa coffee... you drink milk everyday???
ReplyDeletethe beauty of taking morning coffee, with a friend or husband/wife coffee conversation is that coffee stimulates and crystalize your uncensored thoughts and unshackled your freedom to think....napalalim yata...dito sa toronto ang pinakagusto ko yong umiinom ng kape habang nag-iisnow...nag-aagaw ang init at lamig sa yong lalamunan at bibig...
ReplyDeleteCoffee, that's the stuff. Love the smell of fresh brewed coffee, with cream and sugar, though it's not what I would call a "relaxing" drink. Lately been drinking tea...maybe earl grey, mint, or camomile. Supposedly soothes the nerves, even though tea has caffeine too....
ReplyDeleteIts not just the beverage...sometimes its also the company. The dynamic exchange of ideas can really heighten the experience of a favorite beverage.
Nothing quite like a shot of caffeine in the morning, in whatever form, to "free your mind..." for the challenges the lay ahead...
i drink coffee during our breaks just to stay away from my desk and to unwind thy thoughts and at the same time exchange ideas with colleagues.
ReplyDeletesometimes, i drink coffee A LOT when im in the mood for designing.
cheers!
@techguy - 'kaw talaga kung saan saan napupunta ang isip...hmmm... i usually drink my coffee alone in the morning. tulog pa si Papsie nun. then i'll take a bath. when i am at the office, i usually take another cup in the morning break, alone again then with friends in the afternoon break wherein i show my prowess (in what??) and tell stories. i am good in telling jokes - that's the prowess ha ha ha
ReplyDelete@ronaldallan - i used to like tea, green tea, but it makes my stomach ache (i dont know why). but it has good effects on me though. i love coffee in the morning to 'wake me up'...
@silentmode_v2 - i drink coffee a lot when i dont like to eat too much and when there is nothing to eat he he
Hi Bing,
ReplyDeleteThank you for dropping by sa aking munting blogspot. And you know what, pareho tayong COFFEE ADDICT!! errr, COFFEE LOVER. My day will never be complete without it. Kahit sa pagtulog, coffee pa rin. Sa office, my boss knows na without coffee, I'd be brain-dead so he lets me have my cup before doing any major project...he he he good boss or good excuse?
Sorry ha, I only drink coffee to cure my hangovers. Not that I frequently drink until drunk. Or not anymore. But that's another story.
ReplyDeleteBefore I learned how to drink. I heard in those info ads in the now-defunct Clark FEN-P that coffee does not cure drunkenness. Experience has taught me otherwise... Hence, I love coffee, with a LOT of sugar and creme...
regards and more power Bing!
Pah Coffee.... Tea everytime :D
ReplyDeletei am not a coffee enthusiast. we don't even have coffee at home but i drink coffee at cafes with some friends for socialization (my favorite is the durian-flavored coffee in davao. you should try this when you're in town) and this rarely happens because most of my friends are beer drinkers. and i'm a certified 'beer addict". hehe
ReplyDeleteayan, namis-understood mo na naman ako, what i am saying is that nobody can beat a coffee conversation between a husband and wife on a lazy sunday morning at their garden wherein they can discuss anything under the sun..hayaan mo padaldalhan kita ng Taster Choice decaf sale ngayon dito...
ReplyDeleteNope! No coffee for me please!
ReplyDeletecoffee lover din ako. i like to go to coffee shops once in a while but lately avoid ko na, kasi magastos, nakakapagod, mainit, delikado. pero ang pinakadahilan - MAGASTOS! ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteoops, pliagiarism ya a.
techguy, padalan mo rin ako nun. peborit ko yon e. e ikaw tita bing anong peborit mong coffee?
ReplyDelete@beng - ayaw ko sanang maging coffee addict, gusto ko coffee lover lang... m not sure about the damaging effects of the addiction.
ReplyDelete@punzi - di ba lalong hindi makakaalis ng hangover ang coffee? one time when i got drunk and drank coffee after a few hours, parang nalasing ako uli. not that i frequently drink until drunk ha ha (plagiarism??)
@dan - ha ha i understand... coming from a tea lover.
@allan - durian flavored coffee? another variety then. (you remind me of sam1 who loves to drink beer, but not coffee).
@techguy - di ako maniniwala hanggang wala sa mga kamay ko ang Taster's Choice na sale ha ha ha ha
@teachersol - so ano pala? milk please! like ka webspy?
@ka uro - hala ka! i'll sue you.. he he he hmmm peborit kong coffee? sa ngayon, yung Nescafe Gold... meron ba dyan nun? ipagdadasal ko na sana matupad ang wish ko - a bottle of Taster's Choice na sale he he
Bing,
ReplyDeleteNot to sound sexist, ha? Pero may mga babaeng ganyan ang effect ng coffee sa inuman. Believe me. I used to live with one. And my soon-to-be ex-wife has the same complaints on her "sprees."
Off topic, pero dadag (dis)info lang about kape...Ang kape daw nakakanerbyos at ang gatas naman nagpapalakas...pag-pinaghalo mo...lalakas nerbyos mo...hehehe kaya ako kape lang talaga
ReplyDeleteako po hindi natutong uminom ng kape...hehe :D
ReplyDeletebut yes, coffee or not, i'd go for the simple, homegrown stuff myself. :)
@punzi - some men complain about that effect, too. hindi naman talaga ako lumalabas para lang uminom, pumzi. sa bahay lang, madalas, and with my hubby.
ReplyDelete@sam - off topic din, me kasabihan pag sobrang lakas ng loob ng isang tao - "hindi siguro yan umiinom ng kape" - he he
@corsarius - milk din? like ka webspy and teachersol?
Me literally gropes to the coffee station at the start of my work day. Brewed , never instant - keeps it fresh and natural. A little milk, a little sugar. Not addicted or anything except that my brain cells remain dormant until I get charged with cup - small lang namam. I marvel at those guys who take the xlarge cups that look like it could fill half the ice bucket. If I down 2 of those I might pass out!
ReplyDeleteThree cups a day or probably 4 in winter time. Yeah, coffee definitely makes my day.
@bw - i dont take big gulps, too. like you, i sip coffee 3x a day. but sometimes 5 a day. i tried to stop drinking coffee once because of a news of its damaging effects, but i did not succeed and succumb to coffee's alluring aroma ha ha
ReplyDeleteHi Bing!
ReplyDeleteI am not much of a coffee drinker, but I LOVE Krispy Kreme's hot mocha, which I take with a shot of caramel.
I do drink coffee though, when I need to stay awake. At home, I use Gevalia, although I find I have to dilute it with hot milk and cocoa to make it more "mocha-ish"
I actually have a semi-technical question: was your template provided by Blogger and how did you get it? I have come across this template elsewhere, and I think my stepdad (who LOVES sailing) would like it for his blog. I was hoping to convert his template in time for Father's Day. I tried looking at the templates Blogger is currently offering, but I didn't see this design there.
Thanks for the prompt response to my comment. Yes, I would be honored to be added to your links. BTW, I have already linked your blog under my Philippine links.

i have memoents that i crave for coffee that i can finish 3-4 cups in a day. then pffftt. suddenly the craving is gone. out of sight, out of mind.
ReplyDeletei hope you feel better now, sometimes too much sleep also make us groggy, di ba?
@Renee - thanks for linking me up. too. about the template, yes, it is provided by Blogger. it has a type name HARBOR by Douglas Bowman. ang sweet mo naman to be giving a gift like that to your stepdad..
ReplyDelete@junnie - just like that?? paano yun? i am not the type of person who likes to sleep much, junnie. i think i havent experience feeling groggy because of too much sleep. thanks for visiting, and i feel better now.
I'm a coffee lover too...before but I toned down. First thing I did when I arrived at the office was fix myself a glass (more like a flower vase according to my co-workers) of cold coffee. Yes, masarap ang choco with coffee. Add whipped cream to it, Yum! My coworkers would not talk to me until I have had my coffee because I was grouchy until then. I drank 2-6 big glasses a day and I started having palpitations so now I drink only 1 cup if not at all of hot coffee.
ReplyDeleteei Patrice! 2-6 big glasses??? palpitation nga ang equivalent niyan. mas masarap ang hot coffee for me, nakakagising!
ReplyDeletehehe..big kasi sabi nila para daw flower vase yung baso ko. Actually para siyang yung grande ng starbucks. LOL.
ReplyDeleteExcellent, love it!
