Me

I was in school today and I had a sudden urge for a Coke (not Coke Zero or Coke Light, COKE!).. I remembered that there was a vending machine nearby and went to it. I saw another student standing around it, like he had a problem with the machine. I inserted a twenty bill into the bill pulling thingy anyway and nothing came out.. no Coke, no nothing. This irritated me of course -- I lost P20 and I wanted Coke! -- but it hardly fazed me. On the contrary, it made me more determined to get a Coke. Well I had to meet some of my Introduction to Art classmates and I remembered there was a Coca-Cola vending machine near our meeting place. I was late for the meeting already, but I just had to have a Coke, if only for the sake of fulfilling what I set out to do -- to have a Coke. So I inserted another P20 bill into the bill pulling thingy. The machine didn't want to accept the bill. This only increased my determination. I tried a few times and then decided to insert P10 worth of coins even though I didn't have enough for P20. The coins were accepted! Great! Then I decided to try inserting the bill into the machine. It worked after a few tries. Now I had P30 in the machine and I pressed the button for Coke. Hallelujah! A can of Coke fell out.. a WARM can of Coke! What the hell. I tried to collect my P10 change but nothing came out of the machine when I pressed the button makes the coins come out. I decided to give up since I actually did get a Coke, one that cost me P50. I kept the can in my bag and decided to save it for later. When I got home, I put it in the freezer and totally forgot about it.. until a few minutes ago when I felt hungry and opened the fridge. So here I am, it's 4.15am and I am finally having this (ice cold) long overdue can of Coke.

Have I mentioned that I love Coke? There was a day last week when I craved it for at least three hours. I didn't give in to the temptation though cause I was having cravings for Coke a few times a day, everyday.. bad, very bad. Yup, so this can is my first in days. I love carbonated drinks.. love the refreshing feeling of the bubbly gas-iness running down my throat. There's just nothing like it. :)
