Look At Me, Coffee

Is coffee aware of its own aroma? Maybe not, until someone brews it, then inhales it, although sometimes people don't even notice the full aroma of coffee in their senses.

Maybe coffee means a lot. It's also possible that coffee means nothing. Some hate coffee, some love coffee so much that they feel they can't live without it. Whatever it is, coffee is the most valuable treasure, like your heart that gives a flutter of love, even though not everyone realizes it, even though not everyone likes it.

Well, that afternoon I decided to stop by at a restaurant at the mall. I ordered a glass of Iced Vanilla Latte and snacks.

I went alone then, just like most of the days I live. It feels bad to go out with someone, but you don't want to. You may just want to enjoy your food and drink, not just want to spend time with someone.

Look at me, coffee. My two eyes see the present, but do not forget the past as a lesson.

Look at me, coffee. There are times when we want to be alone, but we would be nothing if it wasn't for someone to help tell us how precious we are.

Okay, my Iced vanilla latte is too sweet. Seems like too much sugar. And it gets weird on my tongue. I used to think sweet was the most pleasant taste, but it's not. Sweet just isn't enough to be fun.

As I grew up, I realized that sweetness alone is not enough to make things last. We even need bitter, or sour, and salty tastes to balance things out, perfect each other.

So perfecting each other is the best key to living a happy life, not about what or who is the most perfect.

That time, my time was perfected by crunchy snacks, Ekado. Crispy fried snacks and I ate them with spicy sauce. Spicy that balances the overly sweet taste.



Then I went home with a smile that already belonged to a glass of latte today.

Hey Anggrek, are those snacks a different kind of dimsums? I've never seen crunchy ones before. What exactly is in the filling?
Your latte looks divine 😋

Ekado is wrapped with skin tofu, dimsum is wrapped with general flour ingredients. Ekado filling is made from quail egg, meat, or chicken. :)

Your shoes are 😍 in the bio picture hihi. I really love shoes.

As I grew up, I realized that sweetness alone is not enough to make things last. We even need bitter, or sour, and salty tastes to balance things out, perfect each other.

I used to work in a museum, which had a tour of China, and there I learned that it's a requirement to have all the flavors present at the table to have the "chi" flowing.

Honestly, those are my first shoes for a couple of years I'm not buying expensive ones. These new shoes are about 28USD. Usually, I just bought at the price of around 4USD. But yeah I love this one, very comfortable and I even can run with this new shoes

Yeah, we have to always pay attention with "chi" :)

...very comfortable and I even can run with this new shoes

Oh well I would not have guessed the running part, but then again I also could've run in heels when I was younger. Now I'm not that brave hahaha 🤣.

It's also been a while since I last bought shoes. I've been blessed with people around me gifting me shoes, whether new or worn. I do need new sneakers though, as my lounge and outer sneakers are now used as sports wear. Not in a rush to buy though.

I don't drink coffee much but I love the smell. I use coffee grain for my face and body to remove dead skin. They are awesome. My skin is always soft after doing it.

I use ground coffee with olive oil/coconut oil for my skin. The results are great! Softer and brighter :)

Just realized that you make a rhyms~

I drink coffee every day, I think I can't live without it. It makes me happy (well according to Harvard's journal, coffee can boost your serotonin and dopamine production, that's why you feel better after a cup of coffee).
