Beyond Coffee

I walked ever so slowly to my destination. I feel the cold holiday breeze on my skin as I traversed the narrow path leading to where the drink is supposedly the best. Every step was a move towards achieving one of my goals this year - earn this for you, yet again.

As I carefully watch the person at the other side of the bar stick on the mark of yet another achievement, I cannot help but feel proud of myself. I can sense that the reward, however common, would be worth the wait and the investment I had put in. I am hoping that what I have yet to reap will make you smile. I am wishing that your smile could somehow bring back the person we have lost somewhere.

To my dear sister, as promised, your planner will be yours soon. Kuya just needs to drink a few more cups of coffee.



5 stamps:

kung tutuusin ang coffee ay di masarap, mapakla sa unang tikim.

pero bakit maraming taong umiinom nito sa buong mundo? siguro dahil sa commercial ng nescafe or dahil na-aassociate ng maraming tao ang pag-inom ng coffee ay companionship, family and affection.

kaya kahit uminom ka ng coffee kahit mag-isa ka lang, one feel secured, more than being alert.

and as for you bosing, coffee will takes a more unique meaning.
