Making cafe mocha at home..

I'm not much of a coffee drinker. In fact, I'm very sensitive to caffeine. If I drink tea at around 6 pm, I would stay awake until 3 am. So, I normally only drink in the morning if I feel like to, or in the afternoon if I have a hard time staying awake while studying. But definitely no caffeine in the evening. I went to Starbucks near my campus the other day, and I thought maybe I should try decaf coffee. I'm not sure if decaf coffee actually contains no caffeine at all. I will google it soon and find out! =p

Anyway, usually when I buy coffee at Tim Hortons, I would get cafe mocha. Canadians usually call it half and half because it contains half coffee and half hot chocolate. I love it because it's not very sweet and it's just perfect since I don't want to drink too much coffee. So, I tried it out at home. I mixed hot chocolate powder with instant coffee and then I added boiling water and cold milk from the fridge. Well, my dad bought the wrong (knock off, lol) hot chocolate, so it kinda tasted weird, but still good. But, I'm pretty sure that I did not add enough milk. I don't know if I should actually make the hot chocolate and coffee in separate container, and then mix them together. But that means I have to wash 2 mugs, which is not cool. Well, once I finish this knocked-off branded hot chocolate, I will try it again with the Tim Hortons hot chocolate and see if that will make up the difference.

Anyway, I'm done making my hot cafe mocha for the day in this very cold winter! *sigh* Now I should go back to my books and study for my exams.

Oh ya, I forgot to mention that I got a job at Caffe Demetre!! Well, I haven't started any shifts yet. OMG, I've been wanting to work there since so long ago, it's like the coolest hangout place in town! LOL! I'm supposed to start next week because the boss makes up the schedule every friday and I had my interview yesterday. He told me to come in on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday next week. However, when I left after the interview he called me saying that he wants me to come in this Saturday because his wife wants to train me to be a hostess. Well, it's cool that I get to be a hostess instead of kitchen duty, but I kinda want to work in the kitchen. I enjoy baking and cooking, and since this is a dessert shop (or cafe) I get to decorate the cakes and make those cool drinks. Well, I hope I'd still get trained to work in the kitchen, but we'll see.

My job hasn't started, yet I have to go shopping for outfits! =( Because, I have to wear all black and I don't have that many blacks in my wardrobe. On top of it, I have to dress up a bit to be a hostess. I'm kind of iffy about this, because I don't want to come to work with nice clothings and then get chocolate and whipping cream all over my shirts. =p

And one more thing before I end this, I finally got my dad to go swimming again!! Hopefully I can convince my mom by next week. It's healthy, ya know! They're gettin' older and I think they really should exercise so they can be healthier and live longer. Although I believe that lives are in God's hands. But, yeah, I think staying healthy and fit is important!

Alrite, I really gotta go study! G'day!
