otona ni natta?

January 10th, 2008

i’ve become an adult?

something strange has been happening the past few days. for the whole week, i’ve been drinking my coffee black. bitter, espresso roast, no frills – black coffee. i’ve never liked really sweet coffee (like frapps). but compared to the japanese, my coffee is still a bit on the “sweet and creamy” side. i used to get teased about it all the time by my japanese bosses. not anymore though.

“ara! anton otona ni nattanjan? ”

“e?… a sounandesune…”

so there you go, to the eyes of my japanese bosses, i have (finally) become an adult.

meh. coffee is coffee. and i love coffee (probably an understatement). just as long as its piping hot. or at least warm. lukewarm coffee, black or sweetened, is really just – bleh.
