Whenever I go out without my camera, I find sooo many interesting subjects. Tonite after being home for the whole day, I decided to go to Starbuck's for a short Macchiatto. I was walking past the mall when I heard someone calling somewhat discretely but loud enough cause I was about 7 meters away...

So I was reading this article (http://www.slate.com/id/2195676/?GT1=38001) about Starbucks needing to close over 600 stores in the US. It has a chart that breaks down where each are closing, and what percentage of Starbucks that is in the local market. For some of the places, they were losing upto...
Here's to a beautiful morning! :-D First (ehm...) and last coffee (I got decaf! Wonder if that makes a diff?!) of the week and cinnamon swirl---all from the goodness that is Starbucks. Onion head emoticons are also making my day! They're the cutest!!!

Yesterday I had a treat and was able to spend part of the day with Donita (happy birthday) Dad, Deidre and Amelia. We celebrated Donita's b-day and went to the Green Hills open mall area. Lunch was served at California Pizza Kitchen - surprisingly good prices, We split a Thai pizza and a Greek pizza...
If working at Starbucks has taught me anything, it's that the drinks people pick out for themselves mirror their personal misgivings. The women who don't want whip cream on top of their frappuccino most likely don't want the cellulite on their thighs. The elderly, who long for their youth, order the...

Tonight outside the Tsutaya hosted Starbucks, I saw a white gaijin couple wearing summer kimono's called yukatas. If pressed I would wager heavily they were American and probably working for some consulting or accounting firm in Tokyo. The guy even had the wood sandals on for cripes sake. He looked...
Here comes the aforementioned uneditedness. I'm feeling antsy. I'm needing some change. Not in all areas of my life. Just one. Work. The rest of my life is lovely. I wouldn't change a thing. I'm enjoying my relationship. I'm enjoying the baby-making, the conversations, the smiles, the love. I love...
It's funny when after about two years of being behind the counter on the inside looking out, I get the chance this morning to relish the fact that after hours (or in this case, before hours) the situation is utterly reversed and I get to be the consumer. Well, this morning, I decided to go to...
So, I feel obligated to write here now that I have a computer, and an interesting life.* But, I just don't have much of anything to say. I'm really content about pretty much everything in my life. And although I still generally hate the mass public, I really have nothing to rant about. Strange,...
July 1, 2008 I'm always struck by the pervasive attitude of good cheer in the infusion clinic where chemotherapy treatments are administered. Is there something in the air? I think it's our unvoiced mantra --- "Don't worry. Be happy." We all fall into line because, really, what's the alternative?...
Starbucks, wtf is this? Do we really need a new piece of useless plastic in our lives? Is there a purpose for this instrument? It sort of resembles a swizzle stick, although the body is really too skinny to create an effective stirring motion, plus my particular coffee drink does not need to be...

I'm not a fan of hearing people whistle. Sorta annoys me. And no, it's not because I'm jealous since I can't whistle. I mean, I can't swim very well at all, but I don't get annoyed when I see people swimming. (This is the best topic I could come up with after forgetting what I was originally going...
