Empty mug at three.

My body clock wakes me up at two-ish in the morning, all the time. Ditto this morning, at exactly two.

So after the washroom break, I headed to the kitchen to prepare a cup of Swiss Miss dark hot cocoa.  The bread at Pan de Manila looked inviting so I got one and simply spread it with butter.

Hot cocoa at two in the morning without TV nor book to read was purely boring and the computer looked sad, so I quickly powered it up.

Thousands of netizens surely commiserate with my situation because as soon as I logged in and posted, someone posted back.

In three minutes, my mug of hot cocoa was empty. Unlike coffee which I love to refill over and over, hot cocoa fills me up quickly and I don't long for seconds.


Which reminds me of brunch at Pancake House; there's no coffee refill and they use small coffee cups, not mugs, which further reminds me of breakfasts at diners in Canada or the U.S.A where you get tons of refills. As soon as you put in your order, the waitress comes in and pours your coffee, and comes back over and over.

Soon,  my mouth ached for a cup of brewed coffee, but my stomach was still bloated with the cocoa beans.

I would have to wait for sunrise. My opened can of coffee now is the Canadian Nabob, which is really robust.


My stack of coffee is down to one big can of ground and two bottles of instant. I grabbed the opportunity at the recent S&R March sale and bought an extra large can of Folger's with almost 150 peso discount.
