Me & My Love Affair w/ Coffee (Part One)

I'd like to think that I've come a long way when it comes to appreciating a good cup of coffee. Of course, I would never dis instant coffee. I still drink it up to this day since I don't owe any coffee making machine so the easiest way for me to get my caffeine fix (aside from visiting a nearby Starbucks which can get quite expensive if done on a daily basis) is to open up a satchet of instant coffee, add some creamer and sugar and voila! coffee bliss. But going to a coffee shop is a totally different thing. I would even say I'm kind of nitpicky choosing a cafe or coffee shop to visit. Great thing for caffeineaholics like me, there's a whole slew of coffee shops right now in the metro to get caffeinated-high. And wouldn't it be nice if the barista who prepared your cup of joe put extra care capping your coffee with a beautiful latte design?

Coffee Shops & It's Load Of Goodies

What I normally do inside a coffee shop: eat, sip and read a good book

Food establishments, especially coffee shops, are the ones that I usually gravitate no matter what mood I'm in. Whether I'm in a celebratory mood for earning a work related incentive, or to ease myself back to normalcy from the frenetic schedule of the past week at the office, or maybe to set the mood with the suspense-thriller fiction I'm currently engrossed reading, or to bawl my frustrations about life and love with my closest friends. But these days, I head to these food places to nurse a weary heart. A lot of things occupy my mind lately and these food places helped me to take it slow, gather my resolve and refuel myself to pick up steam for the next journey.
