Caffeine. Nothing turns me on like a good cup of coffee.
i love my coffee. can't live without it. it has been a loyal part of me for five years. it's my husband, my lover, my best friend, my everything. i have to taste it before beginning each day and again in the afternoon. my friends have often advised me against it but the advice, of course, remains to be ignored. my usual reply would be, "my abah is a cigarette addict. i would stop drinking coffee once he quits smoking". which i really thought he would never ever EVER do. i mean, he had three heart attacks n yet he refused to quit smoking. that shit is literally his source of energy and focus in striving his professional work. i was utterly convinced that he could not live without his nicotine similar to me without my caffeine.
that way, me & coffee would live happily ever after.
stupid me. my abah actually cares about his health. he made a bombshell remark to my right ear two days ago while reprimanding my bro for smoking heavily.
"abe, aren't you planning to quit smoking? i do. i will be a non-smoker before i turn 50."
bad news for he's 49 this year. that means both of us have a year to go.
both of us? am i ready to quit my coffee?
absolutely no. no and never. i have never imagined life without my drug. each morning and each afternoon. nescafe, coffee bean, starbucks and radix. things that keep me awake, alert, focus, full of energy and hardworking. i can't do law if i can't drink coffee. i tried to live without coffee once and it only lasted for a day and it was officially the sloppiest and laziest day of my life. i went back to my baby a day later. that easy.
tea and milo and hot chocolate? sure, they taste nice but no, they don't provide the kicking effect like coffee. coffee coffee and coffee...
but then, there are a number of undeniable advantages to come across me should i decide to throw the coffee out of my life.
1 - it'd be better for my diet. do u know that coffee decreases our metabolism rate like hell? meaning - u get fatter faster with coffee. point very much proven when i calculate my annual average weight gain. u see, it's not my fault that i'm fat. it's the coffee, which i am forcibly consuming every day for my energy source.
2 - it reduces the depressive degree of my PMS. high caffeine intake is a major cause in triggering PMS in women. so that's why i tend to be very VERY emotionally disturbed when my PMS starts hitting me. i'll turn to my alter ego who deems herself unworthy and not intellectual enough. my ego and snobbish arrogance would be thrown straight to the drain.
the facts are clear. but still, i take the risk. surely, good things happen for a reason, right? and sometimes, with a risk. when u love someone, u take it/him/her the way it/him/her is. i love coffee. it makes me feel so Ruby Jusoh. it would perhaps shorten the healthy side of my life span but i guess that would be the risk i have to endure.
for now. i'll repent my ignorant ways when i grow much older. when i turn 30 perhaps. or maybe 50, like my father.
what i know is for now, i'm 19. i'm fairly young and i hate to live with restrictions. so i have around 31 years left to live in risk. if i ever survive past fifty, that is.
now i'm feeling like going to starbucks...
Ruby Jusoh often thinks about her health in a serious manner but has yet to do anything serious enough to improve it. She is the perfect example of a spoiled human being taking things for granted without ever admitting that she is due to her mountainous ego. Let us all pray she grows up to be a good human being not vain enough to destroy other people's lives.
