Starbucks, puhlease?
For days now, maybe even weeks, I’ve been craving for Starbucks. I’ve been bumming around in davao for more than a month now, one month and one day to be exact. That means I haven’t drank any starbucks coffee for one month and a day… Yep, there are a lot of coffee shops around here. And I mean a lot. They are everywhere, offering the same stuff-coffee, doughnut, brownie, cakes, free inet connection. etc. But Starbucks is still Starbucks and nothing can beat that!
I missed their tall mocha and white mocha. I missed checking out their mugs and stuff for sale. I missed baristas calling out my name ‘coz my coffee’s all ready to go. I missed their warm and smiling faces. I missed the comfy couches and even the hard, wooden chairs. I missed the smell of their coffee even when just passing by their store.
But what I missed the most is the feeling when I’m having Their coffee with friends. I missed the long talks that we had while enjoying a tall cup of coffee. I missed even the silence in between conversations that let me think things over and contemplate. I missed pouring my heart out over a cup of white mocha. I missed listening to my friends’ life stories, problems, pieces of advice and even nonsense talks. I missed the combination of Their tall mocha and my friends’ presence that kept me warm in the cold of the night. I even missed their ‘take out’. I missed hurrying to buy a cup of coffee with officemates in between breaks while talking about work along the way. I missed every moment I had while having a Starbucks coffee.
Maybe right now what I want is a Starbucks coffee and a moment with friends…
No! Right now, I need a Starbucks moment…
