Coffee Boy

It's 17°C today.
And I like it.

"Gloomy" (considering I'm in CA) weather suits my playlist a lot better. I feel like I have a better excuse of listening to "sappy" songs haha.

What I've been listening to today:

커피소년- That's Nothing
"그저 스쳐가는 바람일뿐이야
누구나 한번쯤 겪는 그런일이야"

Like- 돌아갈래
"내 삶은 회전목마처럼
오늘도 어김없이 돌아간다"

This past weekend, I picked up a new hobby of brewing coffee. I was always so against drinking coffee because of

1) The smell of black coffee + leather seated car. Something about black coffee + car makes me want to throw up, and oh boy, I have.. many many times. Even to this day, I still think our family got a new car when I was in elementary school because I threw up on the seats so many times (no matter how illogical it may sound).

2) My whole family, except for my mom, is addicted coffee. Coffee-addicts. They can't survive without 2+ cups of coffee. We got everything from a coffee bean grinder to an espresso machine to Keurig to French press to pourover to just about everything. As a simple tea person (and still am) I never understood why one needed so much equipment for something so.. dark and bitter haha.

Nonetheless, I am now entering the coffee world humbly (sorry tea.. I still love you), hoping to learn more about it without turning into a "snob", warned by my Uganda teammate Minhoh.


Good morning, Ms. Pepper and her human

After observing the very coffee connoisseur, Ms. Pepper's human friend EDK, I signed myself away~

Some notes I took as I was watching videos of brewing coffee

my very illustration of 커피소년 LOL
(Oh on another note, 커피소년 is having a concert this month and I wish I can go but the tickets are so expensive. 
Why why why)

Two benefits (other than the obvious ones) from drinking coffee:
  1. I can gladly grind the beans for my dad now (아 아빠가 참 보고싶다)
  2. I can "grab coffee" with people. Indeed I am this Thursday with my professor~ ^__^

Mm g'morning everyone. G'day everyone.
