This is my second post about my coffee addiction. And I am thankful to indayclara@indayclara for introducing me to this community where I feel so home. I’ve been scrolling and reading other members’ posts here since yesterday and now I finally made my first entry. This is in relation to my quest that I talked about in my previous blog - The Coffee Chronicles of @nikkabomb. Join me as we talk about how sweet life is with a cup of bitter coffee.


Today is an exceptional day. Why? Because I got more than fifteen (15) minutes for coffee break today! Yay! These little things are one of the reasons why I still yearn for better days!

I drink black coffee two to three times a day or even five times if I had to stay up all night. I work in a real estate company where I was assigned as the owner’s site engineer which requires paper works and site work. It’s an exhausting job both mentally and physically but I get used to it because of the people and friends I met in the company. I get the motivation to never give from my daughter whom I love so much. And I get the additional alertness from coffee!

Coffee had been there with me during the tough times and it is still with me now. I’ve tried several coffee beans, brewing method, and coffee arts, but I always go back to either drip dark roast arabica coffee or french pressed dark medium roast arabica coffee. I like the strong flavor, a toasty taste, and even a chocolatey taste. I like how the caffeine kicks in making me feel more alive!

Life is indeed bitter sometimes but I love how coffee brought sweetness to my life. The silent moments where I just sat there while memorizing the mesmerizing aroma of the black coffee I brew.

This is my favorite spot in the office.

Most of my friends knew how loud and bubbly I am but little did they know how much I enjoy silence from time to time. Being a “mom-gineer” (a mother and an engineer) means being super busy so having this short coffee breaks is truly a luxury for me.


Author’s note

I’ll share next time my coffee session on a Sunday. That’s the only day I’m off from work but still busy with house chores. It’s not that I’m complaining, I just like to remind myself how busy I truly am. There’s this one friend from college who told me that being busy means making money. So yeah, cheers to the busy days!


This has been nikkabomb@nikkabomb saying, "Today’s good mood is brought to you by coffee."


Nikka Mededa, the author

I am an engineer, a mother, an aspiring photographer, and also a blogger. A workaholic mom who found its comfort through brewing coffee and making home-cooked meals. I write and read a lot but I think I collect books even more. And there’s nothing more fulfilling than finally ticking off the books my reading list. Hopefully, one day!

I really love to fulfill my childhood dream of becoming an author and so here I am, in my little corner in the blockchain. I hope you had a good read and check out more here ---> nikkabomb@nikkabomb. Lovelots.
