i love drinking coffee....i down about 6 mugs everyday....three in the morning.....two in the afternoon.....one in the evening.....i can drink brewed.....i can drink instant.....with cream.....without cream......but i don't like decaf (decaffeinated)....i see no point in drinking decaf coffee......for me coffee = caffeine.....my sleeping pattern is not affected by the caffeine.....that is perhaps because i've become so used to it that my body no longer reacts to it the way it should.....maybe....
just a few days ago i chanced upon this commercial on tv about decaf coffee.....the commercial says that we should try decaf because it tastes the same as the caffeinated variety but will not prevent you from getting a good night's sleep....i just ignored it because as i've said, coffee does not affecet my sleeping pattern anyway.....but last saturday while buying grocery at SM supermarket i saw this booth giving free taste of coffee - decaf.....i haven't had my coffee fix that day so i grabbed the cup offered to me....boy was i surprised....it really tastes the same as the one with caffeine.....
i know caffeine has some not so good effects in the body......i've known it since i learned how to drink it...it affects the liver.....the stomach....the brain....the circulatory.....and some more.....but since i love coffee i just close my eyes on these things.....but having realized that coffee can still taste the same even without the caffeine i decided to try the decaf variety.....i'll try it for a week....if it gives me whatever the other is giving me (which honestly i don't know) i'll stick with it.....
oh....were you waiting for what brand of coffee i was talking about?.....i didn't want to write it because this is not about the brand but about decaf coffee in general.....but since you asked.....its nescafe....
nescafe decaf.....try mo.....

kfc double down - adouble disappointment
while watching the gma 7 coverage of the manny pacquiao - antonio margarito fight i saw the ad for the new kfc double down....the tvc must have been played over a hundred times....it looked great.....so after the fight i went to kfc (sm city lucena) to sample kfc's new product....it's a bunless sandwich....instead of buns they have two original flavor chicken fillets....bacon strips, cheese and mayo dressing in the middle.....it looked exciting....but.....it was weird eating soft and oily fried chicken without buns or rice.....the fried chicken was too soft and too oily to be eaten without buns or rice....i didn't find it good for what filipinos call mag-papak...coz the idea is like that.....mag-papak ka ng manok.....i was expecting the fried chicken to be firmer (i can't think of a better word)....and the bacon was there but when you eat it, it's as if it's not there.....labo.....and the mayo was too sour....is it like that in all their branches?....i hope in other branches the kfc double down will taste better.....
