Starbucks Cebu
I'm not much of a coffee drinker but whenever I saw Starbucks I always think my experience in the Philippines. It was not really my plan to visit Starbucks in Crowned Regency Hotel Cebu.
Luckily even with really little time to go around Cebu before we left for the Conference I've attended the next day then, my co-participants accompanied me to Starbucks while we left the conference for awhile.
We took some photos for our souvenir but one of the staff approached us that it is not allowed within the store premises. Really? I was thinking, do they not want free publicity of their store?
Among all the Starbucks I have been to in Manila, even here in UK, it is only Starbucks Cebu that told us this. Maybe they are afraid that the store interiors will be copied by other competitors, is that it? Probably! I was a little bit disappointed but that still did not stop me buying from them.
They allowed us though to take a photo outside in front of the store but the guard who took the photo did not include the name/signage of Starbucks on top of the store. My friends here would find that price is ridiculous and unreasonable... (hahaha!)

I found out something today in Starbucks
Yes Starbucks, (anti smoking ban, pretty much all public places across the country), but you would have to be completely up yourselves or on something whacky to believe in anyway that others smoking has an effect on the quality of your coffee. I’d rather you protected the quality of your coffee by not burning it every morning.
Maybe I should write some of my own signs and put then in every Starbucks.

My first travel by plane
I remember I was very excited about this trip. When I got on board I was thrilled. You know, I was going to a place I've always dreamed of. But when we took off I began to feel frightened. I passed almost two hours in a panic! When we landed in Manila I could let go of my fear and found my selfcontrol. I was so happy that I could kiss the ground! Then I began to think about the return journey in Davao.
So now, when I have to take a plane, I feel just a little anxious. Let me give you some advice: for your first flight don't go so far away! I think that one hour travel will be enough for the first time!
