I've been a fan of them since I was still in highschool and their songs remind me of past loves and whatnot.
On one of the lyrics of that song:
"Hinay-hinay lang sa kape, lalong-lalo na sa tanghali"(Rough translation: Be careful in drinking coffee especially in the afternoon)
For years I have been singing that song mentally and that line still puzzled me. Could that really mean something? Or was it just there to add rhyme?
Until one afternoon, today exactly, I decided to make myself a 150mL amount of 3-in-1 coffee. I'm not much of a fan for coffee and other coffee-flavoured things in the past but it all changed when I had to resort to something that could keep me awake during those hellweeks of exams. And I just got used to its bittersweet taste and figured out why most people came to love it.
So my afternoon-coffee tasted so good as I watched commercials on tv.
After I consumed all of it till the last drop, I started scanning my notes for next week's discussion on Bioethics.
But about an hour after that, it all sank in to me. I felt the effects of caffeine -- in the afternoon, that is.
I suffered terrible headaches, and I mean terrible that I had to lie down and just hope it would go away. I started feeling palpitations, with slight hand tremors. Oh it was a horrifying experience!
To conclude this post, I have now understood what that specific line on that song meant. I just understood it the hard way, though.
