Coffee

I didn't think of myself as a coffee drinker. The occassional trips to Starbucks were more for the purposes of hanging out and great conversation rather than caffeine intake.

That was then... Not anymore.

These days, I have to have at least a cup of coffee. Maximum would be 3 cups, one after lunch, one mid-afternoon, and one early evening. This probably explains my normal 2am bed time. Not good!

I can't really pinpoint when my love affair with coffee began. Most likely, this was driven by the long hours stressing over the Germany project, in addition to my Sing crew being coffee addicts too. We would pass by Killiney after lunch, downing the local coffee blended with condensed milk (I think?). Or, we would take afternoon breaks to San Francisco Coffee, where I'd always get a cup of hazelnut latte (Love it!).

Got me thinking....

In some ways, coffee is like love. It is strong enough to keep one awake and intoxicating enough to keep one hooked. It's a "must-have". It's an "upper" :)

I guess the only difference is that while coffee can be a learned habit, love...well, love... cannot be learned, much less, forced.
