I partially agree to the father of one of my friends. He once told me “Dai, lisud ang kinabuhi kung diri lang mo sa ato lugar. kinahanglan ninyo mag-abroad kung gusto ninyong matilawan ang wa ninyo natilawi dinhi sa ato."
I mentioned “partially” for yes I agree that its real hard to have a luxurious life here. labi na ang life with condo unit, bmw ug patravel travel lang, party diri, party didto, eat diri, kape2x didto.
In contrast, coffee shops nowadays mushroom everywhere.
Haven’t u noticed how STARBUCKS has proliferated now in Metro Manila and Metro Cebu? Today, Starbucks here in Pinas spells fun and gimmick! We have known coffee contains caffeine and it isn’t really good for our health but why suddenly everyone is mad about coffee and is willing to spend a whoping hundred of pesos for “One tall mocha frappe please!” Now it means something to die for pinoy that instead of paying a visit to church and instead of catching a nice flick at the cinema, the pinoys’ new idea of fun and kakikayan is to voluntary park their buns at the café and gulp as much caffeine as they can just to look classy.

I don’t exactly know why Starbucks has become the hot spot, when what they serve is just foamed Blend 45 for crying out loud! Hehehe sorry starbucks fanatics specially to the teeny-boppers. Mas lami pa man ang corned coffee ani :)
Who can resist frequenting a posh place like this? Kaulaw lang that after taking the order, the “Pinay” takes excessive packets of extra sugar and extra cream, an inch thick of Starbucks tissue paper for souvenir peppered pa with picture-taking for fb. :)) She then sits by the front window, hoping someone she knows would pass by and see her drinking expensive coffee. She takes remarkably small sips in order to prolong her stay, like a real smart-ass. During the entire process, there is the obligatory flaunting of cellphones, tabs and ipads and the occasions of “yeah” and “sure” here and there. Pathetic as it is, this atmosphere is contagious that it simply brings out the social climber in one.
So, sige magBo's nalang ta. :)
