One Tall Signature Hot Chocolate for David!


Yeah, so I have the money. Because of my job, I can finally afford this shit. But really, I've never imagined myself going to Starbucks for breakfast. No, I've never. First, because I don't drink coffee. Second, I don't drink overpriced coffee. And third, because I don't drink overpriced coffee that's actually tasteless, even though the whole world says otherwise. It's just that this storm is getting everybody down, and I've nowhere else to go for a cup of hot choco and a fairly good time.

Actually, all the power just died back over at my house, and my laptop, cellphone, and self are nearly running on empty. I needed food and a place to charge my gadgets, so I had to go outside where there was an outlet, and breakfast.

My first thought was to go to the most famous fastfood restaurant in the country, Jollibee. The thing is, I wouldn't even need to go outside if only the people from over there did their job and delivered my breakfast.

But because the storm is so strong, they've decided to temporarily make their delivery service unavailable, for the safety of their riders and whatever. But that means I'll starve to death, so screw them, I needed to eat (and charge my gadgets).

I decided to brave the rain and walk through the flood to the nearest Jollibee store, which was a good 20 or so blocks away from my house. And it's raining hard, too, so you can just imagine how I look like right now -- all wet, jacket, cap, laptop bag and all, aimlessly walking through the rain just a while ago on my way to shelter and the two things I mentioned I needed above.

Long story short, I ended up going to Starbucks at the mall, because as it turned out, even the Jollibee store I was aiming for was closed! Not my lucky day, I think.


Well, guess I have to consume my order of a "Tall Signature Hot Chocolate" before it gets cold now. I mean, this is what I'm supposed to do here at Starbucks, right?
