My Starbucks 2010 planner

My Starbucks 2010 planner is not really mine. I plan to give it away to a somewhat special someone. But enough about that and more about the Starbucks 2010 planner.

I collected some 17 stickers* (9 Starbucks Holiday Featured Beverages - Dark Cherry Mocha, Toffee Nut Latte, or Peppermint Mocha - in hot, iced or Frappuccino blended beverage; and 8 Starbucks beverage of your choice)



This year, the planner is awesome. It comes with 3 different covers, with different feels (literally). WISH, the title of the card/planner gives back to SparkHope in enriching children's lives, one barangay at a time.

"More than 3,000 wishes of a brighter future granted with your planner. Thank you for helping to enrich children's lives one planner at a time."

The planner comes in (3) three different covers, which shows the progression of an espresso coffee – from the bean, roasting it, and finally, to the drink itself. Inside your planner, you’ll find discount coupons you can use depending on the date.

I'm excited for next year's designs already! weee and I'd have to say goodbye to My Starbucks 2010 planner.

Teriyaki Boy Munching

I simply decided to eat in Teriyaki boy since my mind was filled with japanese stuff. I came to the mall seeing it since I just finished a whole bunch of japanese manga titles and had a sudden craving for some reason.

I really like japanese food or cuisine and it was my first try in Teriyaki boy. I chose to eat a Teriyaki Boy Bento. I had some Iced Tea + Miso Soup and then the Bento.



The Teriyaki Boy Bento was very nice and I think it contained the Following: Boneless grilled chicken w/ sauce + cucumber w/ carrots & celery salad? + I forgot the 2. I was to hungry to even memorize the components in the menu.



Bottom line..I got satisfied and as expected from a japanese meal at Teriyaki Boy, I felt light even If I ate a lot.

Breakfast at Starbucks

I had breakfast at Starbucks IT Park munching the grilled chicken and bacon sandwich. I was a bit surprised that I liked the sandwich and even ended up fully bloated afterwards.



It was my first meal order of food of any kind in starbucks cause basically I go there for the coffee (But that doesnt mean I haven't eaten in starbucks ^_^).



I will definitely go back there to eat and taste the other sanwiches and at the same time try to get me stickers for the starbucks 2010 planner! :D

Golden Cowrie Socialization

Our team had our first outing or socialization in our workplace. I think it was just my second time to step foot in that Golden Cowrie restaurant branch. Any way I had a great "short" time nonetheless.



We had ordered some 3 dishes: Crispy Pata (I think), fried tuna, and some soup (damnit I forgot the name!) and some iced tea plus rice.



I didn't like really like the fried tuna thing despite looking tasty. (note to self: tuna should be cooked like other seafood are cooked - whatever that means).



I just munched on the only meat dish and of course the soup. I'm not really good at remembering things that I've eaten for the first time but rest assured next time I'll definitely take notes.

Harbour City Dimsum Treat

Harbour City Dimsum has changed over the years due to the changing of times. The Harbour City Dimsum I knew was a restaurant, noisy but with class. These days, Harbour City Dimsum is still named a restaurant but due to increasing competition and the emergence of Fast foods they had to adapt.

Even though the restaurant has changed over the years, i still like the chinese food they serve. Personally I would prefer the previous Harbour City Dimsum restaurant layout and designs but know its a bit livelier but maybe it was a suggestion from the customers to change there presentation.



Any way, my favorite sio mai to chow down is usually my big three: Mushroom, Plain and Quail Eggs sio mai. And the usual thing my family eat are those and some times shrimp sio mai with lumpia, sweet and sour pork/chicken/fish. Whenever I eat dimsum, I always remember my family and my past, it is just so nostalgic.



And this time around I went with friends and was treated in Harbour City Dimsum, SM City Cebu by Sinjin! Thanks B-day Boy and together with Mikyu (B-day Girl), Clado, Prince and Atty. Ethelbert.
