STARBUCKS AND ME AT CAMP JOHN HAY, BAGUIO CITY

TALE OF STARBUCKS HERE AND THERE (part 3)

(if you were reading this, please trail back to the first parts) 

it is located towards the golf club pass the nearby export depot
and  Carlo's pizza. in between Cantinetta and waffle's place

..so very True, if you're guess is CAMP JOHN HAY, BAGUIO CITY - this has been the first store i'd been out of the 14 featured branches in the Starbucks 2011 Planner, and true too, that, going there wasn't easy for a first timer like me, with no idea as to where the place can be found, therefore, i had a lot of mis-turns and mis-steps in an about one hour of hike from the entrance of Camp John Hay to the coffee shop. it is an undulated more than two (2) kilometers expanse. And thanks for the chilly weather in Baguio, it spared me from dehydration.

What's so special with this trudge, is that, it's happening on APRIL FOOLS DAY, and because i am a FOOL i made myself a blot here at CAMP JOHN HAY, STARBUCKS.

  

Enjoying the long walk

it's such a long way up to my destination but i
even manage to pose for an emo mode in a while

it seems like an endless walk and almost at the verge of losing hope in finding starbucks, so i took another stop-over in here, got some rest and asked if  starbucks does exists in the woods?

the lady i've asked told me to just keep walkin'
and enjoy the journey, you're  almost there..(she's right 1.5km more up and hilly and in an awesome pace and i'm there)

whew! after an hour of leisure walking with slip - ups and doubts as to 
what road to head on , finally @ cottage 661

what a blissful place to spend an idle afternoon, chat nonchalantly and,
take time to get in touch with the inner you... 

and to my surprise! here's a perk for this visit.. this is a free taste to a product they are about to launch, and i'm so sorry, i forgot what was it..weeh! =)
 i can say, This quest is recorded to be more than extraordinary aside from it is being the first to find in the trace, there is more  in the core of being here. (and for those who would ask why, i say: go, see and feel it yourself...)

...and don't ever forget to take a memorabilia with you,
for the recollection of memoirs, LATER...  

...and again for the record, I JUST HAD THE MOST UNFORGETTABLE APRIL FOOLS IN THE 32 YEARS of my being.

 LEARNED VIRTUE : "PERSEVERANCE" yes, i've almost abandoned the mission if not of my insistence, that, indeed, there is Starbucks out of this woods, chum too is hopeless and petulant of my idea in finding starbucks here. DETERMINATION AND POSSIBILITIES too can aid you to satiate your endeavor to a HAPPY JOURNEY!
