TALE OF STARBUCKS HERE AND THERE (part 5)
(if you were reading this, please find time to read prior blogs related to this posts )
here's how's the tale goes...
earlier, when i looked at the Starbucks Planner and read about STARBUCKS JUPITER, i even joked Crescendo with words like "STARBUCKS having branch at the outer space?" that's because, i haven't known JUPITER ST. in MAKATI CITY yet.
now, you'll be asking, how did i get there and what significant this story has?
oh well, it wasn't really in the plan to get there yet, however, time calls the right timing to visit the place is at hand, since i'll be doing some business at MAKATI, then i thought why not take the chance of going on a double purpose (recalling what boss told me on taking chances or hitting two birds in one stone so TAKE IT, TAKE THAT or MISS IT!). and the next thing i knew i'm on my way...
in recollection, it was on the 12th of May this year when my friend "Zerline" asked me to be her reliever for two-days at her work at FILMORE, MAKATI while she's out of town attending some convention of a sort.
so, i took the offer not for the money but as to taking chances of the experience i'll get in this job for this is my very first time to record and try they're so called job after five, while the other share of the reason in accepting this part-time job is to return favors she had for me in one time or another.
it was my first time goin' to FILMORE though, so i asked "Zerline" to provide me the direction going to the clinic where she worked as OFW evaluator, and after working on the first day, gay crescendo fetched me at the clinic with a map taken from google as to where Starbucks Jupiter can be hounded.
it's six in the afternoon, and from Filmore St., we walked heading AYALA AVENUE and kept on walkin' up to BEL-AIR, MAKATI, to the left, to the right and it's seven thirty in the evening and JUPITER at last, on our way to the store, we came to pass traffic lights, crossroads, big buildings, hotels, towers, cars, jeepneys, good garbs, ties and trousers, buses, horns, noisy dispatchers, security guards, street vendor, pollution, smoke, dust, dirt, sweat, foreigner, worker, couples, lovers, the sympathetic and the apathetic, the cynics and the pessimists, we've seen all that, and wondered how lives differ from one another? buddy and i had an academic debate on that plus a peck on the cheeks, then it became a shared thought.... (for the resolve here's a coffee cheers! =))
for the love of coffee.. |
whew!, that was quite a walk, for it was another more than two-kilometers of distance we walked but unlike the "keep on walking mode at Starbucks, Camp John Hay," there were no chilly or windy weather in MAKATI, dehydrated almost, i'm just glad i wore flat shoes that day, so my feet didn't complained of over walked, it's just my leg muscles that cramps...but it doesn't matter anyway, for as long as there is a freeway, i will ramble... LOL !
LEARNED VIRTUE: TAKE CHANCES, take every opportunity that comes along as it may only knock once, never let it slips away, SEIZE EVERY MOMENT because this is your only time, HERE AND NOW...and regrets no way, because you're on to a HAPPY JOURNEY!
p.s.
i promise once i'll find the still shots at Jupiter, i'll post and update this chapter of the story. meantime, i just took a snapshot on the leaf of the planner where i recorded the date of my visit to each store.
