28 November 2008, Friday. After a week-long work, Ity texted me on her way home from work if I wanted to go to Starbucks for a sip of venti or grande frappuccino. I asked first our 4-year-old son Gabby if he also wanted to go and ofcourse he became excited. So I quickly surrendered to my wife’s querry. My knees are weak when it comes to food and coffee.
Since both of us do not have any bad habits, we’re not alcoholhics and neither are smokers, I’m giving ourselves rationale of deviating our so-called addiction to buffet-eating, coffee drinking and mall hopping. These I think are little life’s pleasures that we reward ourselves with. If only Starbucks coffee can be taken intravenously or in capsules, addiction to it will be more fun, don’t you wish? hehehe…
We agreed to go to Eastwood Mall, the new upscale mall located wherelse but in Eastwood City, Libis Quezon CIty where my youngest brother JC is a Starbucks Coffee barista. The new mall is a fusion of Greenbelt and Bonifacio High Street’s exteriors and Powerplant mall, Glorietta and Shangri-la malls’ interiors. What makes it unique from these posh malls is the presence of mall buttlers. These mall buttlers offer service like carrying shopping bags from shop to shops and anything to make it a hotel-like shopping experience. One buttler even politely greeted us on the escalator as we head for Starbucks Coffee located at its 4th floor.
We met JC in their store, ordered our favorite white choco moccha frap, and a grande of toffee nut latte hot coffee and muched on chicken empanada and a slice of choloate bliss cake. Ity claimed her Starbucks Coffee 2009 planner in red since she already completed the stickers in the promo card.
Here are our photos of that Friday evening as we end our week…
