This is...hm, about another thing that I occasionally crave on. er, I should say occasionally, yeah. But that occasion apparently comes in er...everyday. almost. well, in MOST days. ^_^


It's about caffeine. especially heavilly cremed and low sugar which I prefer it's served the most ;p. Caffeine, is one of my dope during hard nights. Defining hard nights, they're those nights when you know you HAVE to wake up until mid-morning, squishing every drip of your myelin coated white tissues up there, for the sake of something REALLY meant to be done. at TIME. For me, it'd only work until mid-morning, that is of bout 3am or so. Needing more hours, I'd get another dope. but not from another caffeine rush in my vein. I'll tell you bout the other energy-boost later.

I'm not an addict. Oh please don't call me one. I really don't intend to. I don't drink it for pleasure. Even if I hang out in a very hip Starbucks corner downtown, I wouldn't order for one if I don't intend to have long nights. It's just that I need it. without it, I'd fall asleep at 9 or 10, and would miss my super-productive hours, ranging from 10pm - 2am. Er...Especially that my brain's somehow not working well at noon. tsk. I hate it. but can't help it.

I've been indulged by coffee since I was a kid--my mother actually shove some coffee in my milk, or else I wouldn't drink it. And, being a regular consumer, would surely bring more concern about it's pro-cons, especially these last 6 months that I've never been absent from a mug caffeine charge EACH day, until last week =D. I'd searched for some 'verification' that it's actually is good--well, it it's not good, then 'O.K' wouldn't hurt--, but I of course cannot help to pass the negative aspects as well. I'd bring it all up for you to notice as well now. Oh, this points below are well proven, scientifically.

Pros of regular caffeine rush in the blood :

-It makes you happy--a keynote speaker on a seminar drinking a JUG of coffee during his speech actually said this. I certainly buy.
-It makes your brain working, like a d i e s e l.
-It's... hey, cannot say its not yummy. prefer this compares to my other dope.
-It wouldn't affect pregnancy. (of course not, in medium basis, under 300gr)
-It treats asthma
-It makes you smarter, it actually increases 10% of your processor speed. mean it.
-It aids concentration during prayer! it's a research done by Sufis of Yemen
-It improves athletic performance. It really does.
-It reduces car accident, drivers should have coffees and rests. and ALL THE WAY!
-It actually prevent heart attacks, in certain conditions, as it promotes faster blood flow. wwuuhh!
-It boosts metabolism. love it. and that's why it boosts energy too.
-It has varieties of flavour to even more delighting your tastebuds: hazelnut, irish, classics, kakao,
woooffhh...and varieties of coffees it self. can't name one by one.
-It makes over 6000 starbucks even bloodily richer!--can't be sure : is it a pro or con?

Cons of excessive shots :

- Too much anxiety-literally means, It makes you happier! Yee HAaa
- Interferes w/ normal sleep- hey, if normal sleep is 8 hours per day, I'd WANT it interfered! life ain't long to have its one-third wasted in dreams. It's a DESIRED effect. Please. but maybe not for you who's got insomnia.
- More depression. irratability. Ok I don't want this but for me who's so calme as a person, a little spark on the emotion wouldn't hurt, would it? ;p

- Makes the bladder work harder -well, I suppose we're dumping excessive water in our body. It's
like detox, rite? we might dump evil diseases! It boost the metabolism, and
anyway, we can always drink afterwards.
- Makes your teeth less white-hm, but that's when pearlite substances in toothpastes comes in handy.
- Promotes loss of pottasium and calcium, hence delaying time for sore muscles recovery. --Well that's funny, because I just read that It actually could mild sore muscles if you consume it before exercising! I'd buy the latter one, of course. But I might consider it during pregnancy. I need my calcium alrite
- Aggravate heart problems -well, it's actually beneficial for those having low blood pressure. But hypertension and coronary disease ain't so hip either. watch out.
- Nervous disorder - Oh yah, can't fix this. But we're smart enought to know when to stop, ay?

Point is, everything TOO MUCH is ain't good. On how much your body response to it, differs from one person to another. For me, one mug is enough for healthy stroll through the nite, two is already too much and am only using itfor emergencies. But I'd certainly pass it in no-need circumstances. I'd also pass sachet coffees which are VERY HIGH of sugar, I'd tolerate 9g of sugar or less, which is very rare in sachet packages. I'd absolutely pass coffee w/ artificial sugar, as aspartam. Those are evil. That way I could be sure that coffee would still be my loyal dope, from time to time.

Of course, life without caffeine is waaaayyyy safer. After 6 months constant boozing in, this last whole week I haven't been consuming any and i feel ok, especially that my muscles been strained and toren apart during everyday exercises--I yesterday could get to 16 laps jogging, again!, since I dunno, 3 years ago?!-- and I feel really great, w/ regular sleep hours of 6 hours a day. But it's a very temporal privilege time. I'm not hoping it to last long, though.

But why does caffeine has be in non coffee drink as well? I don't drink much sodas, but in choclate beverages!#@!? Argh...are you kidding me? is there anything with a decent taste that I can safely drink?! Even juices aren't nice w/out LOTZA sugar!

okai, nuff said. got tons to do today! C ya!

It's been a week after the actual post date. Come to think of baby-turtles, I'm now considering myself as one. See? I'm like a baby turtle who just crawled up to the sea. touching the salty water for the first time, eager to know the world underneath the sea surface...And I'm in. Swimming for the first time. Anyway,

And oh it's still feel so awful to have them for supper! I haven't actually, they're still in my fridge, but sure you wouldn't expect them to hatch there, rite? Anyway, imagine a baby turtle, by the time they're struggling to get out from their egg shell, they're already alone. Not to mention the harsh seaside journey they'd have to endure, in a very very slow pace, reaching for the water. Outta few dozens, maybe only few that could actually reach the sea and swim underneath it. The others, are probably just didn't make it, encountered a feisty sea bird, or a crab, or a sea lion. hehe...gee, I don't really know what's goin on out there for these little creatures, it must be really harsh. But the most pitiful of'em are those, who's been picked by senseless man outta their holes, even before it hatches, got it handed over coupla hands for a souvenir (#$@#!), souvenir for another senseless creature (er, like me) and ended up in a cold fridge in a kitchen.
