After 21 Starbucks beverages...
...I finally got my Limited Edition 2005 Starbucks Planner!
Of course, I need to thank my friends who were kind enough to go to Starbucks with me and pay more than a P100 for fancy coffee when we know that we can drink coffee for free from the pantry of our offices.
I would like to thank the following (in no particular order):
1. Thea - for being so supportive. For giving me your Starbucks receipts so I may redeem the stickers. Thea has contributed a total of 3 stickers.
2. Don - for allowing me drag him to Starbucks even though I know he prefers Coffee Bean. Also, thanks to Don, we were able to kindly ask the Starbucks Barista to place the stickers over the Toffee Nut Latte drinks which no one seems to like. Kay Don, natutunan kong gamitin ang katagang, "Pakiusap". Don has contributed a total of 3 stickers.
3. Glenn - for loving Starbucks' Peppermint Mocha Frap as much as I do. Parang chocolate drink na may halong toothpaste. Yum yum! Glenn has contributed a total of 2 stickers and P5 tip to Starbucks Rockwell.
4. Jerard and Allan - for allowing me to drag you guys all the way from Badminton Arena in Mandaluyong to The Fort just so we can go to Starbucks. Jerard and Allan contributed one sticker each.
5. Jay - for drinking coffee with me at Starbucks even though I know you prefer Seattle's Best. Jay has contributed one sticker.
6. Trexyl - for finishing her dinner at record speed time at Grilla so we can have enough time to go to Rockwell Starbucks to chill and have coffee. Trexyl has contributed one sticker.
7. Pilipinas Shell - for the 3 drinks I bought during my weekend shift last month. Which reminds me, I need to have them reimbursed.
8. Red - for accompanying me to Starbucks earlier and allowing me to have a sip of his mocha frap because my toffee nut drink just tasted really awful! Thank you for not making fun of me when I got emotional a little teary-eyed when the barista handed me my Starbucks Planner and for helping me put the planner inside the plastic again because I am so paranoid that I, or you, might spill coffee all over my much-earned planner. Red has technically contributed no stickers because the coffee was my treat. Haha! Love you Hon! Thanks for dinner. Masuka-suka ako sa tempura.
Thank you everyone for all your support. The Starbucks Planner is not THAT great. It's not that fancy. Quoting from my Tita Ciel who wanted to give me a really fancy planner from England for Christmas, "Starbucks Planner lang ang gusto mo? Ang cheap ah!", yes it is quite cheap. I bet that by March 2005, Starbucks might give that planner for free. But it's not the planner itself that made it special, it's the people who helped me get the planner. The memories, the laugh trips and the nonsense discussion about anything under the sun which surrounded each Starbucks drinking session. Those moments are priceless and that makes MY Starbucks planner priceless as well.

It's already 1:17 AM and I'm still awake. Not a surprise. Ikaw ba naman eh mag-Starbucks sa gabi. Ewan ko nalang kung antukin ka kaagad.
Maan @ 1:18 AM
