Day 10: A picture of someone you do the craziest things with

My Day 10 entry is a bit related to my Day 5 post.

Meet Aileen. My highschool partner in crime. Harhar! Don't let me mention lahat ng kalokohang ginawa namin. Past is past! :p

Soul sisters! :)

Starbucks Happy Hour: Half Price Frappuccino!

Its summer! And so Starbucks has their own way of beating the heat!

From SB Philippines' Facebook fan page

Me and my friend Andrea finally had the chance to experience this pakulo of SB last May 7 before going to work. We went to their branch in Blue Wave, Pasay, which is the nearest SB store from our office. Good thing there were only few people in the counter when we entered the store. I always order my favorite Chocolate Cream Chip but I wanted to try their new blended bev Mocha Cookie Crumble. How much did it cost us? Only Php 92 each and that's already venti! ^_^



Before going to work

I did enjoy my thrifty drink. But I personally observed these things:

1. Medyo tunaw ang frap ko and my friend's. :( Naubusan na yata sila ng ice.

2. They forgot to give tissue to my friend. We called the barista's attention twice pa for just a piece of tissue. Tsk tsk!

3. The same barista isn't smiling. I have been to several SB stores and I admire how the baristas manage to keep their smiles all day. It's my first time to encounter a not-so-happy barista.

4. The place is too small. They should not put tables and chairs near the counter. It gets really crowded.

Anyway, it's not a bad experience after all. With my favorite frappuccino for half the price? Priceless indeed! Gals and guys, we got three more Mondays til their promo ends. My friend and I will make sure not to miss these three Mondays. Great way to start my week! :)

Store Address: Pres. Diosdado Macapagal Blvd. corner EDSA Extn. Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines

My Ratings (0 as the lowest, 10 as the highest)

* Customer Service: 7 for the 2 guy baristas who took my order, but I have to deduct 2 for the not-so-happy barista. So, its 5.

* Product: 5 (MEDYO TUNAW)

* Location: 7

Day 5: A picture of your favorite memory

I was actually thinking what to post on my Day 5 entry for the challenge. Its really hard to choose which of all the memories I had is the perfect one for this post.

Out of nowhere, a good friend of mine, Aileen, popped out of my mind. She just gave birth months ago. Today is her baby Athalia's christening. Unfortunately, for some not-so-good reason, I was not able to come. And because of that, I miss her. I miss Aileen.

Aileen Tan, or "Lyntot" as I fondly call her, was my HS best friend. We share the same type of music. She's a Westlife fanatic while I love A1. I can't go to school knowing that she's gonna be absent. I'd rather stay at her house and be with her than attend classes without her. We have shared plenty of memories together. Life, love, family and even our firsts! Sadly, on our senior year, her family has to move to North Caloocan. Almost 2 hours drive from our place. But our friendship doesn't end there. We communicate through letters, texts and in any way possible. She's not only a friend to me but a sister. :)

Aileen is a perfect example of a dreamer. A simple girl full of hopes and dreams who (ehem..) loves coffee! ^_^ She strives harder to reach the top. She's also the most frugal person I've known haha! I bet she will disagree. But hey, you are more matipid than me!

We've been bestfriends since we were 15 years old. And I am sure we will still be friends for the next 15 years (times 5!) nyahaha! I love you and I miss you, Lyntot! See you on the 12th. Am gonna visit Athalia! Yey! :)
