It has been 37 days…

Yes, it has been more than a month since I last tasted coffee. I thought I was ready to give it up and live a healthier lifestyle. Until today when I found an alternative. I hope this will work. I was a coffee addict until I got this GERD, a condition where coffee is a [...]

Overcoming Acid Reflux (GERD)

Have you ever experienced throwing out your food after eating (not anorexic)? Have you ever felt acidic or hungry even if you just eaten? You may want to know if you have a gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or simply acid reflux to know what things you should do.

Does it mean goodbye to coffee?

I am suffering from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a more serious form of gastroesophageal reflux (GER), which is common.

Coffee and Being a Student*

I can’t remember now when did I start taking coffee. I just remember during my childhood, I always sip from my grandfather’s mug; and I used to make my father’s coffee.

Half-filled cup

At the coffeehouse,
the coffee tasted sweet
even without sugar.
I was doubtful and uncertain
but every sip and
deep breath gave me strength.
The coffee was hot but

No regrets even after my last sip
though uncertainty was left
with my half-filled cup
and wondering heart.

I love coffee but this coffee is different. I found this in my e-mail inbox this morning. It is a forwarded mail from a very good friend. After reading it, I went back to myself asking, “Is this the coffee I wanted?” Well, read on and I hope you’ll come to a realization.
