J0027 starbucks addict
by jasonkidd on Nov.26, 2008, under Vacation
while waiting for our flight home from hk 2 days ago (obviously this is already different vacation from post J0026, i just didn’t have the time, nor drive to write this past few weeks), i found this chinese (hong kongesian? hehe) woman holding a tall, red starbucks coffee, which naturally had me looking around for the coffeeshop at the airport. leaving kyashi to tend to the birthday greetings she received (yey for free airport wifi!), i went around and around, up and down the vicinity, only to return to the lounge empty-handed.
as we left for our gate, i thought, there probably is a starbucks coffee shop near the gate, given how filipinos love to drink coffee (of course, part of my assumption was that, most if not all cebu pacific flights are routed through that gate). true enough, a few stores from gate 49 stood the stall! got my fix, got to spend hk coins that burdens my wallet, too bad they don’t have a sticker promo else i might have already been an owner of a chinese planner! :p

a week ago i got my second random (nga ba) starbucks receipt giving a tall beverage free after i answer a survey from www.mystarbucksvisit-ph.com. given how much coffee i buy from them, i should have had more than 2 free drinks by now! nevertheless, a free drink is a free drink, so yey, hurrah for free starbucks drink!

speaking of coffee count, this morning i’ve just received my second 2009 planner, meaning i’ve collected 32 stickers since the promo’s start around nov. 4 (actually 31 stickers, since the first sticker was free). given say, 5 of those stickers came from my “coffee-mates”, that’s 26 cups consumed by me. 26 cups in 23 days…
gimme more free drinks!
