Despite an extremely jampacked week, we all need some caffeine to help us through it. Last week, I got quite preoccupied with some internship work since I needed to have my medical and physical exam and I also had to work on some documents for our face-to-face internship. Thankfully, on the ground floor of the building where I had my pertinent examinations, there's an aesthetically-pleasing coffee shop located there. Presenting to you, Tightrope Coffee located at the ground floor of the Velez College Medical Arts Building. It is not my first time visiting this coffee place since I got to visit many months ago and I got to try their Flat White as well. But at that time, I was not a huge fan of coffee and so my recent visit was a whole new experience for me.

After eating lunch at Red House Taiwan Shabu Shabu, my other co-interns and I decided to chill at a coffee place located near our school. I also needed to be at a coffee shop since our clinical instructor would like to have a meeting with us to orient us with our incoming face-to-face rotation. I am currently assigned to a psych rotation and I am currently handling patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other mental health disorders. Before the actual rotation, I figured I needed some time to chill with my other co-interns. Upon arriving at Tightrope Coffee, I was unable to order coffee immediately since I needed to catch up with our meeting. My co-interns ordered latte along with some desserts while I was in a call. Since our clinical instructor got temporarily disconnected from the call, I decided to order quickly a glass of iced Spanish latte. I figured that I would not be able to finish it within our stay there so I asked the staff to place it in a take out cup but I was wrong for I was able to finish my cup in less than an hour. I truly regret asking the staff to place it in a take out cup. Next time, I will definitely finish my cup while I am still in the place.

Days after my Tightrope Coffee experience, I decided to quickly meet with @asasiklause at Bliss Café which is a coffee place located near our subdivision. At that time, he told me that he would be meeting with a friend and they would both set-up his Hive account together. After a few minutes of chatting with Klause, @jalabrado finally arrived at the coffee place and I finally got to meet him. He is a newly onboarded member of this community and so it was so fortunate that I was able to meet him. Apparently, he also makes his own signature white brew. He brought some for Klause and he gave a bottle to me and with that I am truly grateful. A day after meeting him, I finally got to try his signature white brew and it was honestly the best I have ever tried so far. I love its perfect blend of bitterness and sweetness, just the way I like my coffee to be. If you want to try his signature white brew and his other drinks, just message @jalabrado.

Truly, last week made me coffee drunk but I would not want it any other way because coffee has been my stress reliever for the past months. I could not even imagine going through my day without coffee.
