Star is bucks!!!



After the long winding road, I started from Legarda LRT station to LRT Cubao to ageny in Cubao to MRT Shaw to Agency in ortigas then to MRT Taft to LRT Pedro Gil until finally I arrived Robinson's Manila at 5pm. We passed by the back door entrance where alongside is the Starbucks Restaurant. I introduced this to my friends and recommend to try their best tasting coffee. We ended up ordering a frap but this time I ordered for Green Tea Creme Frappucino while others (Amor, Hyacinth, and Nathan) had their Mocha Frap. We were seated outside on the smoking area (the most dreaded place) since the inside is already fullhouse.

I have always wanted to try the Green Tea Frap ever since Jeralyn introduced me the Mocha Frap. With the great first impression I had for the mocha frap and JenJen's description over the green tea, I ordered for it this time. But I did not like it personally. First and foremost, I don't like the taste of green tea and this drink really and literally tasted green tea, a bit a mixture of its bitter taste and the sweet sugary cream and milk (LOL not my kind of drink). 

But anyways, that was a good try rather than spending my whole life wondering whether the green tea frap taste good or bad. :)

Robinsons Ortigas



The mall just right across the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration in Ortigas, I just took one bus ride from Sampalok via the G Liner Bus. I met Hyacinth, Amor and her elder sister at the said government agency where they applied for Japan. Then near this spot is this huge mall. I reckoned back the scenario that I got lost in this mall last year when I was looking for the Mercan Agency. I was confuse with the security guards instructions that I ended up on the 4th floor of the mall. But because I was roaming around this mall, I got to familiarize the place that I ended up their guide this time.

Since we haven't taken our lunch that time, we decided to pass by their food court and wanted to try a different dish that is not available in my city, but because of the numerous fast foods on this section, we were so confused with the many choices that we ended up with a familiar restaurant, Greenwich.

I was so pre-occupied then with my agency that time that I left our table for awhile and called the agency. And it was Ms. Rich who answered my call after much attempts (finally). She gave me a very good answer and direction like what I wished for to hear (but it turned out tooooo good to be true, I will tell you the reason on the later part.)

One funny thing that happened here when we were at the National Bookstore near the exit when the alarm sounded while Amor pass. I know that was so embarrassing on her part (and I just can feel it though she denies it), to even extent that the security opened her bag. And it was just a purchase she bought from the same store. I remember back then in 2008 that it happened to me as well, when I was carrying loads of stuff bought by my sister in one of a hi end boutique.
