My Kind of Sunday

in #life6 years ago (edited)


I woke up this morning feeling a little grumpy and knew right away that I needed my dose of caffeine!



I took a quick shower and in 15 mins I was all set and ready to be on the road. Where to go?

It's Sunday, it means Starbucks Sundate with my partner. We love going to Starbucks on Sundays because there's less people there and we always want to get our favorite seats.

When we got to Starbucks, there were couples who were seated on our favorite seats but they left after about two minutes. I immediately grabbed my stuff and took one of the seats while my boyfriend was still at the counter waiting for our coffee.

Yesterday I downloaded a book on my Kindle called the " The Chronicles of Narnia". I started reading a few pages last night till I fell asleep. I haven't read a book on my Kindle ever since I joined Steemit because I spent most of my time writing blogs, replying to some comments and reading other people's blogs.

My boyfriend told me a few months back that Steemit is my new addiction and he's right. Since I joined Steemit it has been hard for me to not get on it either on my laptop or my phone, even when am at the gym. Last week, if you have noticed my activity log, I wasn't as active as I used to be since I flew to Manila to get paper work done and spend some quality time with my sister, @gerel.

Am sure am not the only here who's addicted to Steemit. You know when you're addicted because everything that you do is about Steemit. When you're drinking or you're eating, or whatever you do and you want to write about it and share it on Steemit.

My boyfriend handed me my coffee, a hot soy cappuccino with an extra shot, and foamy on top. It's exactly what I needed!

Most of the time when I drink hot coffee I'd burt my tounge, who does that? Well, no else but the impatient, clumsy and grumpy purepinay! I can't help it, the smell of the coffee was very tempting to just take a big sip. Was it worth it? Not when half of your tongue is burnt.

Though this time I tried to take a sip but my tounge folded (what?!... Sounds totally stupid, right? It worked though?

Anyways, I finished my first venti coffee and read chapter four of my book. I got up to get another coffee. Right another coffee, it's caffeine overload kind of day.

There where only three other customers at Starbucks including the two ladies who we're at the counter ordering their drinks. When it was my turn, I asked the barista what kind of coffee beans do they use for the espresso and he said they use dark roast coffee beans which has a stronger flavor.

I wonder how much caffeine their is with three shots of espresso? Of course, you can find anything on the internet so I looked it up and there's different math for it and I won't dig into details, all I know is that I need another cup of coffee.

After about an hour and a half, my Kindle had pop up message, "Battery level is low" and I was only on chapter six of the book. I put my Kindle away and after I got bored, I decided to get another coffee. :D

This time I got a different coffee, a soy dark mocha frappuccino and an oatmeal with soy milk. Satisfied with all the caffeine and calorie intake.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!


Xoxo,

Hope all is well with you! I have been increasing my Steem power a little. I try not to have very much caffeine, only once in awhile. If I have it everyday and then I misss a day then I get a head ache. So, I just have caffeine once a week or so and then it really works!

@purepinay it been a while, hope you are doing great.
I can see you doing good as your selfie picture tells.
I can see you really enjoyed your Sunday kinds and what did you bring for me from you sister @gerel? And trust you enjoyed your self during visiting.
Take this pix as my day gift... Lol

Lol, the photoshop. I'll try to get Photoshop too! Now that I have a new computer this wil be a necessary tool to pass my dayssssssss. Thank you for the awesome reminder.

Welcome dear. Thanks that you like. @cryptosharon

That's nice, it'll increase your voting power too and your the curation rewards that you will get.

Ohh I see.. what kind of coffee do you usually drink? have you tried the light roast coffee?

I've also been enjoying some curation rewards lately! :)) I had never gotten them with lower SP but now I can at least get curation rewards hahahaha. It's a nice feeling, like I'm getting some SP all around, from votes from others, from my own votes and from the SBD I invest in bots. It's lovely.

So do I sir @markvance, even I love coffee but I can't consume it continuously, I will get stomachache not headache. Anyway @purepinay, as I know there's actually more caffeine in light roast coffee than there is in dark roast coffee. Correct me if I'm wrong ❤️

Nice! Increase your SP! Let's gooo. It's awesome to invest on Steemit. I wish I had more money to put into this because it's a lovely social network.

Starbuck mornings are one of my favourites . Are you coffeholic too , just like me ? By the way , very good writings . looking up

Bah, no coffee houses near my home :( All the coffee is made by my mom and they don't make for me because I don't usually drink it. I can't have Starbucks mornings! I'll ask them for coffee once I get there since I'm so sleepy. :D

I miss you Ate. I miss Starbucks coffee,haha . I will bring DQ in Cebu when I visit you.😁✌

Hello, sunshine. What is DQ?

Day after day you introduce the community with your various addictions. Ever since I started following you this is your third addiction I suppose. Travel was first, then slowly you got all foodie posts and now hell lot of caffeine.
Are you starting to introduce reading as your next addiction ? Lol
Sounds like a daily soap. Introducing scenes one after another. Embedding them nicely to keep the audience interested. Lol.

Was gym also one of your addictions ?

Gosh! I just realized I have so many addiction ha, lol!

You are addicted to upvoting me, too Ma'm, thank you so much for your support...God bless you more!

Loveeeeeee. Her autovotes are what brought me up from nothingness into what my friends call success but I call the road of opportunities. I'm still very far away from having any significance on the blockchain, but I know that if I work hard, I'll get there!

Yes we are the same...@cryptosharon thanks for dropping by. I'm following you now...God bless!

God bless you, Joshvel. I don't think you'll be seeing my posts anytime soon since you're also following 5289 more people!

But I appreciate your support. I hope you get many viewers thanks to your strategy.

The gym.. hmmm, I'll save that topic for later 😅

So travelling, food, coffee, steemit down.
Should I host a contest to guess your next addiction.
Reading, gym or something else.

Miss you more! Hugs!

Wow! I can't believe you can take three large cups of coffee in one lazy Sunday! I just take a sip on my husband's coffee, and that's it. I cannot handle more, or else I couldn't sleep all throughout the night. I envy you, because I love coffee, and I find the aroma so inviting, but my body can't handle caffeine. A cup of coffee for consecutive three days would give me palpitations. Huhu! 😓

Lol, I can drink a lot of coffee with no noticeable effects. I'm sad because I need to really drink a lot to lose the sleepiness.

I have the complete set of Narnia and I just read it again last month haha! Coffee does do wonders to us to perk us up and give that boost that we needed. I used to like frappes and other mixes of coffee but then too much sugar is taking a toll on me so I prefer just plain coffee.

I've been trying to get it lately! I'll try to remember once I wake up tomorrow to get the books again. I need to reread them! I also didn't finish reading them so I need to do that too.

I hope you'll get it :) It's such a nice thing to be taken to unimaginable places that only exists in books and movies.

Oh wow that is great.The three coffee look greatv and delicious too.I know you enjoyed.That is great that you read other post, i only see people like you. You know i am also addicted to steemit as it amazing platform where you can make a lot of friends.That is great we both addicted to steemit.I have read about 'The Chronicles of Narnia 'in my schools book and also watched the movie,it has a great story really love it.It was great reading your post.Glad to see it. @purepinay

Narnia has always been one of my favourite series! It seemed so sublime and mystic when I first heard of it. I had a cousin who bought the books and I was amazed by the illustrations and the design of the hardcover. Once I read the first, I could not stop and read the second and third. It was among the first instances of contact I had with awesome world creation and part of what gave me the taste for writing.

What a caffeine filled day. Seemed like you had a ton of fun.
About Steemit as an addiction, I totally agree on that and I can only imagine how it is for you because I am also really struggling with the fact that I can’t do anything else in the morning when I wake up but to check my blog, make a post or comment on people’s posts. It has completely taken over all my day and it’s even still requesting for more.

Hmmm, why don't you just make posts in other free times? Your morning should be for yourself. Just gather your spirits, feed yourself, become a hurricane of energy and do everything that you need and then dedicate some time to Steemit. Blogging should not be your zeroeth priority but yourself.

I read in one of your blogs earlier already that you are a coffee addict but I didnt expect it like this! Three coffees in one morning is next level addict! Anyway, starbucks coffee do is really good though!

Lol I used to go over three coffees but I had to limit my self. One time I was advised to take a break from coffee for a week, every day I felt tired and I always in a bad mood. It was really bad. I couldn't go on a full week without coffee instead I limit my caffeine intake.

Yes, sbucks coffee is really good and also the soy milk that they use.

I hope everything is well with you. 😘

That is very extreme indeed! But if it is just on the sunday and the other days limited, it should be okay. Just enjoy!

With me everything is okay! I feel happy every day as long as I am in the Philippines :) Hope to see you on the Steem summit in Cebu!
