The Drink of the Gods

I call coffee the drink of the gods. Well, I don’t know for sure if there really is such a thing – a drink fit to satisfy heavenly standards. I don’t also know if there are multiple gods because as far as I am concerned, there is only one God and I don’t think He drinks coffee. But I still insist that coffee is the drink of the gods because I want to and because I am unreasonable sometimes.


Needless to say, I am a coffee addict. Its aroma awakens my senses all at the same time, including my bowels – if I smell it in the morning (is the bowel considered part of our senses?). I think I haven’t mentioned this addiction ever in this blog but that does not mean that it isn’t a big part of “me”. If I haven’t had coffee at all in a day, I feel cheated, betrayed, abused and let down. I cannot start writing unless caffeine is pumped in my circulatory system. If there is not enough to boost my thinking, I get some more and more. But usually, I limit myself to three mugs.


In keeping with my erratic and spontaneous personality, I am not limited by any convention or rule when it comes to drinking and enjoying my coffee. I drink it anytime of the day, even right before going to bed (and I still sleep soundly). If you are a coffee addict, too and are as adventurous as I am, try putting the following in your coffee (0ne at a time, ok?):

  • cinnamon – it gives a very distinct, tantalizing aroma to the already heady scent of coffee
  • Irish cream ( i.e., Bailey’s) – this gives your coffee a certain kick that jolts you out of that in-between world of the living and the dead
  • muscovado sugar – if you do not like your coffee too sweet, try using minimal amount of muscovado. It requires less of it than refined sugar.
  • honey – better than sugar is honey, it mellows the taste and is the perfect contrast to the strength of coffee

Whatever it is, black, brewed, instant, home-made or Starbucks-bought, enjoy your cup, everyone!

    I love coffee too but I did not know until now that it is seen as the coffee of the Gods. I got addicted to coffee years ago – I got hooked to it so that I would shake off my sleepiness while working in the office.

    Hotmomma, so great to see my widget on your Hot Blog of the day! Cheers!

    I’ve always been a coffee drinker. I converted to strong milky tea while living in London. PG teabag was my favourite. Then one day, I was out of London, and suddenly, it’s back to coffee AGAIN! Yeah, coffee drinkers are cool..

    Thanks!, guys for all your comments. I can’t survive a day without coffee, I think. We are all united in this, and it’s nice to know there’s something other than blogging that binds us together, hehehe!
