'tis the season to be jolly

"masarap talagang mag-nescafe kapag umuulan"- kim chu
"i prefer starbucks" -inday


 
you said it girlfriend! x)
oh, no. don't get me wrong. i'm not the type of person who'll splurge on coffee just because. there are valid reasons. i splurge on coffee because i like coffee and the instant variety gets too boring [and *gags* lame] at times. i march down the nearest coffee shop because i can't operate my coffee maker for my benguet beans. and i go to the green lady for refuge ONLY when i have to: while waiting for i-dunno-what-exactly or the rare times i find a cute barista. guess why i spent lunch break there today.

and believe me when i say i know better than being starbucks-dependent. i swear i am only found there when there's a good cause. like helping my officemate collect stickers for the 2008 planner. or collecting stickers to help project sparkhope provide early learning programs for under privileged children. or accompanying a good friend for a coffee dose. or stalking. or making pa-cute to the cute barista whosenameiskyleandisworkingatmarquinton. causes that are directed towards the good of others.



i'm giving myself until the end of the month to complete all 24 stickers so i can start spreading joy- to my officemate, the children who'll benefit from sparkhope, to the cutest barista ever ever ever [what? i make him laugh]- in time for the holidays.

and don't you go preaching to me about the evils of overpriced coffee. please. at a time like this, we need all the happiness we can get. so do yourself a favor and buy a peppermint mocha. x)
