When I was still studying, parang 1 or 2 branches palang ang starbucks sa pinas and talagang di pa uso noon mga coffee shops kaya di ko naexperience yan.

sana nga lang totoong nag-aaral, kawawa rin yung mga magulang. nag-papaaral na, nag papa istarbaks pa.

I assume those people mas nakakaconcentrate din sila mag poop in public

now I haven't been to Starbucks lately. siguro mas marami ng tao ngayon with "studious" people lugging ipads around.

nice - morbid angel. i remember din back in highschool i would play metallica while studying or going to bed - i also didn't have any problem studying or sleeping.

ito yata bagong style ng palusot para sa gimmick. or poor man's gimmick ginagawa sa starbucks. walang pang club or bar kaya isang coffee for the whole day tapos pormang pang gimmick tambay na sa starbucks. looks cool but pocket's poor.

Yes, shadow, assume that they could poop in public. Wait.... Does one need "concentration" to poo? Do you? Astig.

What those ppl do with their time and money is none of our business. Tama? CBTL at eastwood, and strabucks at temple drive - puro nag aaral mga tao dun. O wag na kayo tatambay dun, wala kayo mauupuan.

mas astig yun, kaya nila mag poop in public...yup everybody needs to concentrate while pooing, ayaw ko maputol eh gusto ko buo..

I'm wondering mga honor students kaya yun mga mahilig mag aral sa starbucks?

Parang Honda lang ano noh??? Anyways, there is a Starbucks near my school but whenever my classmates study, we would usually do it sa school library o sa lobby. Pag sa bahay, I do it on the comfort of my bed room.

During my HS Days, active Starbucks suki ako

Pero as time goes by, college bound na, I have to budget my money. The only Starbucks experience that I recently had was a classmate giving me her venti sized frap.

di mo basta basta mapapagastos ang mga tao

pero most people have an inner desire to move up the social ladder

if you come up with the right idea, you can exploit that desire

then mapapagastos mo mga tao

before starbucks, can you make ordinary people pay over P100 for coffee?

Its either Library, catwalk, or conservatory for me.... sa UPLB may recliner pa na pwedeng tulugan sa likod ng bookshelves :D

Sa DLSU, sa conservatory... dami pa chikas!

napansin ko nga nagiging tambayan na ang mga coffee shops, not only with students, pati na din mga MLM agents. Pati na rin mga fastfood chains eh ginagawang opisina ng iba.....

I go to coffee shops usually kapag nasa byahe tapos medyo inaantok.... bili ng venti then yosi....
