Need to stay awake?

It's hard to stay awake on a nice afternoon while doing nothing (at the office... XD)... my eyes wanting to close so badly, overpowering my willpower to endure, makes it hard for colleagues not to notice... of course there's always my good, old buddy, coffee! XD... sigh... if only things were that easy... XP

I've been trying to avoid drinking coffee the last two weeks or so... My stomach's becoming really acidic to the point that I feel my stomach juices boiling whenever I drink more coffee (after the morning coffee... but I need more to keep awake... T_T)... pfftt!!! >_<

I've done everything (short of getting a knife and a calamansi) to stay awake until I discovered something... taking Clorets (yes, clorets, the breath freshener)! o_O... ehehehe... not only does it make your breath fresh, it also freshens up your air passageways including the sinus, thus enabling you to absorb more oxygen-carrying air (naks naman... with explanation pa! it's just an observation... :P)... and the more oxygen in our brain, the livelier we get... XD

Another problem arises, though... reading through the clorets label, a warning... excessive use can have laxative effects... O_O!!! (ugh... it makes you run to the bathroom if taken in excess... bleh!)

Now, which is the lesser evil? Passing air, or running to the bathroom? Take your pick... XD
