Admission:Addict..

Sigh. It is difficult, for me, to face the cold hard truth. I finally realised that after all the scoffing and "never will be"'s and "..such a waste of time" that I ended up being what I profusely refused to be..an addict. The world is unfair. Why does it tempt me so in such a way? But now I understand everyone else who swear by this addiction. Why? Precisely because it is such a waste of time. However it allows us to, for a moment in time (okok 4 hours) to be transported into another fantasy world, allowing us to escape the reality of life and be in another.

I am talking about the drama; thrilling, yet full of suspense of not knowing what will eventually come next, about all the predictions and "Oh no, it can't be him/her!!!" and the "Oh my God, will you just tell him that you actually do like him and stop acting so idiotic and face-saving."

Yes, I think I am addicted to drama. Not Korean, because funnily enough, I prefer Taiwanese. Dramas I mean. How do I know Im addicted? Try this: stayed up for 2 nights in a row till 1am to start one drama and for the grand finale because the last 4 discs were so exciting that I stayed up till 3.30am!!! Ok so the Alfregato kept me awake which I didnt mean to. So what am I supposed to do? Lie awake tossing and turning in bed trying to sleep? DO something productive and finish it off then! I am addicted. Now I know. Ouch.

Learn from experience..accept the consequences...

...like what happened to me yesterday. Now everyone knows coffee makes you awake, same as everyone knows eating too much meat is asking for a coronary but then again, everyone knows free advice is the worst advice to accept. Like me, coffee actually makes me sleep.scratch that, coffee in moderation makes me sleepy. However, to my agony I found out otherwise..
Like the Ice Blended Latte I had at Caf Au Lait. Not bad, nice destressing drink I suppose. Then friends call; and being lazy to move get them to come over for dinner at the same place. Thats when it all goes downhill..because with a latte in me, I definately should not have ordered the Alfregato (is that how I should spell it, such is the dire in me, in my caffeine induced tiredness) for dessert. Alfregato is EVIL. In Capital letters, at times after 7pm. Why? Because its espresso coffee base, with vanilla ice cream and Oreo + chocolate chip toppings. Why is that evil?

Because...I was wide awake, full of energy, having to watch a drama series, up till 3 30am...just because I had that shot of caffeine in me..from now on, no coffee after 7pm for me. I dont think I can take the awakeness..especially not when I have to work the next day. Ouch. Cue yawning every 10 minutes and drooping eyes..
