caffeine makes me really happy.

The Cure – The End of the World
Wow coffee makes me crazy. I never really felt the effect of coffee on me. Well hardly ever. The first time I felt like I had too much coffee was during our trip to Australia a few years back. I finished my uncle's coffee because he apparently ordered too much and I do like caffeine a lot. It was kinda strong but I didn't really think much of it cause coffee is supposed to be like that right? I guess it was a lot stronger than my usual because I could not go to sleep that night. My heart was beating so fast I thought I was having a heart attack. I ended up staying up all night long watching some weird Australian kiddie show on Nickelodeon just because I didn't want to have to think while watching TV. Too bad we had a full day of sightseeing in store that day. I pretty much walked around like a zombie from the lack of sleep. But the breakfast buffet probably helped my mood. I love eating breakfasts in hotels. Really I do.
Coffee gets really weird on me. Like there was this one time I went to Coffee Bean by myself because I felt like being a nerd and wanted to study and Coffee Bean has the best chairs and I really love it there even though their coffee isn't as good as Starbucks except for the White Chocolate Dream but I don't get that a lot cause I don't get iced coffee all that much. Anyway I totally spaced out and made a mistake so instead of ordering a plain caramel macchiato I got the espresso instead. How stupid is that? I've never drank an espresso before and to top it off I got the double shot cause usually their coffee gets pretty weak. So I just drank it. Slowly. Hahahaha. I passed by Gonuts before I went there so at least I had something sweet with me to eat. I think I drank so much water after each sip of the espresso. I couldn't drink it all at once. Too strong man. :D hahaha. Another one of my stupid moments. I could write a book on that. But weirdly enough I didn't get those heart palpitations I usually get when I've had too much caffeine. Maybe it got drowned from all that water I drank. Yeah that’s probably it.
Anyway, I got a new coffee addiction. Forget the tall hazelnut latte I ALWAYS get at Starbucks. I've just recently discovered the wonders of canned coffee. I know how fake the coffee inside those cans are and how much worse they probably are but dude so cheap! And I'm a sucker for a bargain, cheapskate that I am. I found it when my friends and I where on our way to our econ 106 study session. We passed by Katipunan to get my stuff because I was stupid and didn't think to bring them to school and study there and because Adi is really sweet and offered to drive and get my things. So Dee, Adi and I trekked to Katipunan without even thinking about the horrendous traffic that THE Ateneo would bring us. Hahahaha. So after I got my things we went to 7-Eleven cause Adi wanted to buy something and I went to the back part because I was looking for juices or whatever to drink and I saw the Nescafe canned coffee. It was only 23 bucks so I got two. Waaaay cheaper than Starbucks man. Hahahaha. And it tastes pretty good too. Pretty worth it for something cheap. So after that we went drive –thru in Mcdo and I got a McChicken sandwich meal. Two cans of coffee and Coke. Caffeine overload! So we went back to UP and went to the Econ lib first to study and then moved to the Main lib. Around eight we all got hungry so we went to Mcdo because it closes pretty late – actually it’s 24 hours already but we didn’t know that then so we all left at twelve – and ate dinner. I was still full so I just got fries and Coke. Upsized. Baaaaaaad idea. By ten I was almost shaking. I couldn't sit still. I was getting too hyper. I must have gone to the bathroom at least five times in a span of two hours. It didn't help that it was really cold and I didn't have a jacket with me. I get cold really quickly. I'm probably the only UP student who brings a jacket to EVERY single class. Anyway back to Mcdonalds. I think I went outside a couple of times just to warm myself up. And maybe calm myself too. Then just when I was starting to get hungry Paula offered to treat us all to sundaes. Sugar rush! I must have quit studying right after that cause I couldn't sit still any longer. Hahahaha! It felt good though. It was like a mixture of excitement and anxiety. I wanted to talk and talk but everyone else was still studying so I had to keep my mouth shut and pretend to be reading even though my mind was racing with thoughts inside and I wasn't paying attention to what I was reading anymore. It's a good thing we were all kinda sleepy by the time 12 rolled by that we didn't go to Starbucks as planned and went home instead. I slept at three that night. I haven't slept that late in sooooo long. I love caffeine.
I drank that Nescafe thing again today. Just one can and I already can't go to sleep. Oh wait I had iced coffee in Oz a while ago. 30 bucks! Me and my bargains. So there. I'm just lying down on my bed writing and listening to songs and wishing that tomorrow would be a good day. I think I’ll lay off the caffeine for awhile. Except that I’m riding with Paula going to school tomorrow and she has to pass by Starbucks to get her planner. The smell of coffee in the morning. I haven't had Starbucks before class in so long. Hmmm. Maybe if I don't feel so bad tomorrow I’ll buy coffee. I think I'd need it to stay awake in class anyway cause I'm sleeping so late. Stupid coffee cycle.
I'm gonna try to go to sleep now since I have an early class tomorrow. And I'm gonna try to forget how shallow I sound right now by showing everyone how into the whole Starbucks thing I am. Maybe I'll stick to cheap coffee forever. Starbucks is overpriced. Hahahaha. But they make the best hazelnut latte around. Seriously. And those red cups are so cute. Maybe I'll quite drinking there when they run out of it.
I gotta learn when to stop babbling and to stop drinking coffee before bed. :D
