The start of the first semester was smooth sailing. There was no apprehension at all. Even academics didn’t hinder me to be a happy-go-lucky boy. I couldn’t remember a day that I didn’t hang out with my friends. It felt like I was walking on air slowly, grinning at people I stumbled upon.
The first week of my blogberry planner was filled with several appointments (No, I don’t want it to sound that way). I was with different friends everyday. It was either they schedule a day with me or it just happens that I was with them for dinner.
Noynoy Power
I love my EEE friends, and I even loved them more when Cyhsi, Heja, and I coincidentally wore yellow on the first day of classes. It’s a secret if we three are Noynoy supporters. Should I say even each of us don’t know who’s voting who. We don’t talk about politics much. Cyhsi would rather open a topic about ABS CBN’s Star Magic. Tee hee.
When dusk covered the sky, I went to Starbucks Techno-Hub to bum on my org’s website.
Dondon and Justin’s Crash Course to Website Building
It was late October when Justin asked me to teach him build a website for UP JPIA. After he had told me that he was waiting for my yes before he affirmed with JPIA members to work on their site, I laughed. Dondon was with him when we met.
“I’ll treat you coffee. Just coffee,” he said.
Starbucks? No. We stayed at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaves instead because of its Wi-Fi.
Techno-Hub Forever
I don’t have a proper diet. I eat enough, then I eat a lot, then I eat a horse. On the last day of the orientation to academic shit, I did the latter.
Thursday night, I had dinner with Kevin, Denesse, and Trish at Mister Kabab. With all hail to Persian cuisine, we ate Ox Brain, Pita, Keema, and Persian Burger.
After the big burp, we had our favorite coffee at Starbucks.
Why the hell Starbucks?
Yes, I’m collecting 17 stickers to grab one of those limited Starbucks planner. I want one. No one’s stopping me. Haha. It’s my first time to collect, and since SB started the promo, I’ve already collected 12 stickers.
That was my first week — my stomach full of coffee.
Haha, I’ve traditionally been able to collect at least 2. :p Maybe this year I’ll be satisfied with one.

Yeah Toffee Nut is the best. I usually add syrup or cream into it so as to vary its flavor each time I drink it.
I can only afford starbucks during birthdays… ahehehehe
