**************************




one of the greatest alcoholic inventions of all time is the coffee
liquor. Popularly known brand "Kahlua", has a quick bitter zing,
almost wickedly sweet. Made by exposing the spirits of vodka
to golden roast coffee, vanilla bean and sugar. having it
placed in a tightly-sealed bottle makes the spirit
seep in the beans to bring out a rich-tasting flavor.

It was nice to have encountered this extraordinary that has
has been tickling my tastebuds for years. it brought my obsession
for coffee and liquor in to a different life.Because of this, i was
able to link my love for alcohol to my other obsession.

I love coffee...(regardless of the brand).
If i have a few extra bucks, ill go to starbucks.
If im out of bucks, i stick to nescafe freeze.
I do not make a living statement out of drinking it.

I drink coffee because it gives me the spike that i need to keep me
up all night finishing the things that i have been doing everyday for
the last 2 years. not because i am putting up a "trendy lifestyle" by
doing a sip-a-minute of my caramel frap just to be able to spend the
wee hours of the day in starbucks.

I go to starbucks because i want to give myself a treat after a hard
day's work, or because i want a good conversation with my friends
over coffee. Not because i want my ears to be tickled as the barista
calls the "name" that i invented, wishing that was really my own name.

I order a caramel macchiato because i want to have a shot of
espresso and scalded milk on a cold night. Not because its something
new to my ears and i want to practice my twang just to end up
pronouncing macchiato as "mochiatow" or cappuccino as "cup of chino".

i get a few sheets of table napkin and bags of brown sugar because
when iwant to make my drink a bit sweeter and keep my lips
and hands dry and free from coffee stains. Not because I want to
have them "to go" and use them at home or to wipe my face when I’m
sweating like a dog...a price that others have to pay for trying hard to
fit in...


COFFEE...and the drink that started the trend....
the brand that introduced the wicked lifestyle...
hypocrisy...pretentions..delusions...
all just for a sip to that green straw that says.."I belong!"


hehehe..that’s too much dose of sarcasm for the day. ill reserve it for tomorrow.
