GJs Misadventure

"Marie, daan ako ng Starbucks. May papabili ka?", texted Yayen. An Iced White Chocolate Mocha image popped into my mind as I told Yayen which beverage I wanted. The image crumbled when Yayen told me that the Starbucks branch was already closed for the day. Ok but I now badly needed the iced coffee. So much that even GJs was an option. It's been a while since I bought anything from GJs, usually preferring 711 French Vanilla.

"Iced, iced.. anything Iced. A safe iced drink", while I looked over their menu. I settled on an Iced Mocha, so did Yayen. It sounded safe. How can you ruin a mocha drink, right? Chocolate syrup + coffee = mocha. Plain, simple.. safe. Whipped cream? Sure, still within the realm of safe.

The drink was a bit bitter for comfort. Yayen had to empty 2 packets of sugar (or was it 3 or 4) into her cup before she can drink it. I braved it, no sugar! So on went our daily chats.

I was nearly done with my coffee when i felt my head start to drum. It must be the caffeine rush. Later on my stomach started to painfully grumble. Oh no, was there too much whipped cream? The pain in my tummy is familiar to what I get from drinking milk. I threw my nearly empty Iced Mocha cup in the trash with a resolution never to buy that particular blend again. Never, ever ever.. grumble ouch!!!

I rushed home, suffered a mini-lbm and went straight to bed. I woke up 4 hours later to a sensitive tummy. I went thru another mini-lbm before I turned my PC on. Before I knew it lunch was being laid on the dinning table. Lechon Paksiw awww man how can I not eat that. I was thinking if my stomach is up for it. "Oh well girl", I told my stomach, "ready or not you are eating lunch!".

So lunch was a bad idea. I went to another CR trip.

I hate this day. I hate GJs.
