Starbucks is in Davao! (almost)
May 25, 2008
The moment I saw it, my coffee borne blood simmered as a shaman’s oil pointed at a suspected aswang. Yes, Finally Starbucks has reached Davao, exclamation point!
Consumer’s in Durian City has been, for so long, limited to the transient dehydrated ground Starbucks powder, packed and sold at the grocer’s. An added insult to this injury is that two of its outlets are accessible in the Luzon mountain province. Yes, the boondocks are regarded more coffee worthy than us. This is over-almost.
You see the coffee came here. Pure Starbucks frappuccino MINUS the seats,subtract the ambience, forget the barista with the “One _(enter coffee variety)_ for _(enter name here)_” in a DJ booming voice, and don’t even think about the coffee house, is here! Yep ONLY the coffee came here. At least you get the chic coffee bottles (they came in, bottles-mini milk bottles, not in mugs or paper cups). Is this an advance? Is starbucks slowly worming its way to the Davao market; First coffee powder then coffee in bottles? I don’t know.
It’s up to you how to view this situation: be appalled or be jubilant. As for me, I’ll buy the coffee and do the barista voice “One frappuccino (in a bottle) for JP!” for myself until the real theng comes here.
(For information on where you can guzzle this liquid that has been deprived from you, post me a comment [kung asa mapalit ba])

I usually say my name as “Ever” or “Free” when ordering at Starbucks. So, you know, the barista would announce “One Caramel Frappucino for… !”
