Soft Drink Obsession

          I hate it! I had been drinking soft drinks straight for two weeks and I know what my mother and other folks say about gulping too much carbonated drinks. It's either you'll get fat, acidic, or procure some kidney problems. 
          For my part, I experience minor headaches when I frequent such coolers but of course, I don't have any scientific explanation to prove that. All I believe is that too much of something  is bad enough. And sadly, that's what I'd been doing.
          I want to stop, but the moment I'm in our store, I can't help but grab a bottle or two. Maybe, I'm getting addicted to it. They contain amounts of caffeine anyway, which are some kind of addictive. It's as if these chilled refreshers are the only way for my thirst to subside.
          The summer sun allures me to even chug some more. So now, I'm promising myself to get hydrated not by soft drinks, but by water. I don't want to abuse my kidneys and grow old sick. It's okay to drink sodas from time to time; In parties perhaps, or in meryenda time with the barkada whom we don't see often. My rule is to take it moderately. I guess the same rule is true for the other aspects of our life.
          My siesta time may be incomplete without a bottle of soft drink, but how about training myself to love water a bit more. It's a natural cleanser and even gives me a nice skin. I don't even have to buy it.
