I was not a big coffee fan. I was more a fruit shake or juice kind of guy. I love to guzzle sweet and icy cold drinks rather than bitter and hot beverages. My love for coffee started when I was accepted in my first job as a teacher. I was up and ready to go by six o’clock in the morning. I wanted to be early since I need to prepare my teaching aids and prevent procrastination. My lunch time my eyes were already drooping and I felt like I need toothpicks to prop them up.

I had no choice but to gulp up a huge cup of coffee. It still tasted bitter to me after 3 packets of sugar and one for the cream. But as I was finishing it, it tasted a bit better. Until one day, I decided to have a glazed donut with my coffee. As I bite into the delicious and soft donut, I sipped my coffee too. The mixture was pure heaven. The combination of the bitterness of the brew and the sweetness of the donut was perfect. I finished five glazed donuts and the big mugs of coffee after that.

I am one of the many who’s addicted to coffee and donuts. And I am not ashamed.
