21 - On Double Chocolate Green Tea, Curfew & Magnetic Poetry

Every now and then, Starbucks is offering us new beverages which are available only for a limited period of time. This summer, they created entirely new beverages from our old favorites - one of which is the Double Chocolate Green Tea Frappuccino! Coming from the recipe of the Green Tea Creme Frappe, they added two layers of chocolate sauce for us to enjoy. I am definitely in love with this blend! Well, I know a lot of people do not appreciate strong tea flavors thus kudos to Starbucks for adding the chocolate to counter this. A must-try! I encourage you to try it, you will not regret it! 

Because YES. Everything is possible with chocolate and tea <3

E kasi naubos ko na before I can even take a picture :P

Here’s the price list:

Tall – ₱ 175; Grande ₱ 185; Venti– ₱ 195

I ordered it “to-go” at around 9PM last June 23, 2016, then roamed around a little bit at the Plaza. I was observing the by-standers and in all fairness, there were no children wandering on the streets. The night before, I volunteered to join a group of people responsible for ensuring that the 10PM curfew is being abided by the citizens. Surprisingly, the streets were without minors! I was kinda expecting a little bit of drama, but hey this is a good sign that the people are actually taking this seriously. I have heard stories that when they first enacted the curfew, they were able to pick up a lot of minors roaming around past 10PM. It has been what? A week or two since then? Just wow. We’re so close to being a real child-friendly city. Kudos to our hardworking government employees, and of course, I’m giving credits to our incoming president. Keep the good change coming! :)

Going home with tea on my hand, what’s left to do but poetry? Weeks ago, I met with my college friends in Katipunan and whoa the changes since we graduated last 2013. We visited the Common Room PH, where artsy and cute stuff were being sold. What caught my attention is the black poetry magnets kit, costing around P350. (Thanks Eula for the magnetic board P180). I was actually lost at first. I cannot seem to think of any coherent thoughts with the limited availability of words. It took quite some time for my right brain to function and here’s the end results...

First, I stayed loyal to the exact words available:

I'm OKAY.

Home :)

Second, I added a little bit of creativity by forming words with the available letters like below:

Rage

Lyrics from "Fight Song". Too much feels when I watched this being
performed in America's Got Talent. You guys gotta see it!
Check on youtube. 

Drowning

This new toy keeps me up at night! If you’re interested, visit Common Room PH at Katipunan OR order online through Poetry Magnets PH web below:
