Starbucks Adventure - 1st Stop
As mentioned on this post, mi amiga Lianne will visit all the 12 branches featured in 2011 Starbucks planner. We initially planned to go to Intramuros for our first stop but at the last minute, we had to detour, I will reveal the reason next time, but this is definitely a pleasant detour. ;)Yesterday, 29 January, we had our first stop in Corinthian Hills, very near Megamall where we met and had lunch. We arrived at Starbucks at 2pm. We transferred from one seat to another, we finally settled on our third seat where the chairs were more comfortable and the electric sockets for charging our laptops were within reach.
Lianne ordered Java Chip (grande) while I ordered my staple Caramel Macchiato hot, tall. After four hours of chatting and blogging in between, I got hungry, I ordered tuna pandesal for both of us and another Caramel Machiatto, hot, this time I ordered short for the very first time.
Here are some photos to document our first Starbucks adventure. Yesterday was the very first time that my Vivienne Tam hp mini "travelled." I used it for almost two years just inside our home. We also brought our planners, the inspiration for our adventure. We stayed there for almost 8 hours, the longest time I ever stayed in Starbucks. We had so much fun, so much chit-chatting, blogging and caffeine overload. ;)
Before I forget, there were 13 branches featured in the planner(January 2011-January2012), not 12, the 13th branch is called 32nd and 7th, located at the Fort.
Well, more than the adventure, this is our way of bonding and catching up, our celebration of more than a decade of friendship!;)
Starbucks Adventure
In November 2010, I received an early Christmas gift from a dear friend, Leslie. She came across my blog and she learned that I wanted a Starbucks planner. For the 2011 planner, one Starbucks branch is featured per month. While I was browsing the planner, I "wished" that I would be able to visit all the 12 featured-branches. As to when, how and with whom, I just don't know.
Two weeks ago, mi amiga Lianne emailed me and told me that she also received from a friend a Starbucks planner, same color as mine, velvet red. She mentioned that she wanted to visit the featured branches. Aha!!! My wish was heard! Talking about the power of thinking! ;)
I listed below all the 12 featured-branches:
1. Cebu Ayala
2. Camp John Hay
3. Lipa
4. Solenad
5. Boracay
6. Corinthian Hills
7. Katipunan
8. Intramuros
9. SM Sky Garden
10. Bacolod
11. Jupiter
12. Tagaytay
From the list above, if my memory serves me right, I think I was able to visit Starbucks branches in Cebu Ayala and Tagaytay.
Lianne and I agreed to start up with our Starbucks adventure this coming Saturday, first stop is the one in Intramuros. We plan to chat, to blog, to take photos, to enjoy the experience while sipping our favorite "bonding" beverage!
