I Love...

Surprisingly, I don't love anything. Haha!

I was thinking a lot of things awhile ago of which I have strong emotions for but apparently, none of those seem to matter now because I have forgotten all about those. And when you love something, you don't forget just like that.

Anyway, in lieu with the post below this, I <3 SBC! :D

And here goes the first pin, and probably a thousand extra calories in my system. :-P

I am this close to my VIP card, and again back to square one for the second pin. When I got the pin last last week, I found it odd that it doesn't come in any packaging, or even those small plastic cases the cheap ones in the market come with. It's literally just a pin that you get after spending roughly Php600. Anyway, the pin is sooo pretty. I don't know what it's called, but the material is, again, not like the cheap plastic ones found everywhere. I think it's matte. Or something smoother than that.

Oh well, whatever the material, I like it. And while we're at it, there's still a few more days til I pick a winner. Or if no one else joins, this one automatically goes to Kristine. :-p

More on loving SBC... Seriously, I heart that coffee shop. Specially now that I realized that the cutie from last week is actually giving me extra perks. (Free shots, extra card coupons, additional milk to my lonely kiwi Italian soda, heck, he even covered my cup even if the cup covers are on the self-service counter.) Fine, I heart you na rin. Haha! :-p

And while I'm having raves for my new loves, here's the Bench alcogel I am loving:

This tiny bottle costs Php36.00 at any Bench store. I used to have the Mandarin Burst but I am somehow turning into a goldfish and I lost it last week at ATC. So I went out the other day and bought a new bottle. It's lavender this time. Personally, I like the scent of this one better. Although the Mandarin thing was refreshing to my nose.

I prefer spray hand sanitizers as opposed to gel ones because I hate the sticky feeling. (Which actually makes germs stick to your hands more rather than washing them away.) :-P

Anyhoo, what I am not loving right now is Stresstabs. Seriously. I keep getting sleepier and sleepier by the minute. Couple that with short-term memory loss. As I've said, I'm turning into a goldfish. I wonder how do I fix this. I need to get back to my old self stat. Whoever has any idea what happens with Stresstabs, help me out here. ;-)

And while I am on the subject, let me share how Joey has found his love too:

Yep, that's a fish bowl. The turtle used to live in there, but for some unknown reason, Joey finds comfort in staying inside the bowl. Haaay. I think my cat has some identity crisis going on. I think I should remind him he's a cat, and not a dog, rabbit, giraffe, owl, or fish. Oh well. Never mind. He's cute being all those.

So I'm thinking I have a lot more to write. Because I love so many things. But for now, I love sleep more than writing. Which means I have to stop.

For The L-o-v-e Of Coffee.

Howdy-doo-di-do.


I dropped by Seattle's tonight for my B&W Mocha fix. Too bad I got torn between Chai Tea Javakula and my ever-beloved B&W fave. Which apparently was a good thing because this barista (who is just one fine line away from cutie-cute-crush status), offered me with the now-returning Spiced Berry Javakula.


Having been used to Starbucks' Frappucinos for years, I am not really a fan of SBC's Javakulas. Really. I like their iced mochas more than their Frappe counter-parts. Anyhoo, even if I am doubtful of the *berry* concoction, I tried it out. And suddenly, almost-cutie barista offered me the SBC Love Card.

*I am finding that girl awkward. It bothers me.*

In his best effort to keep the conversation going, he tried hard to explain the card's mechanics. *And in the middle admitting he has not yet read the card.* Oh-kay... He got me with "FREE". Hahaha!

And it's not just any free. Freebies range from upsizes to pastry to drink customization to even another drink. Whee! And the best thing about this is when you availed all four, SBC's gonna give you this I <3 SBC pin which basically gives you Php5 discount/cup whenever you flash it during your purchase. Isn't that cool? :-) Four drinks = discounts every purchase. Woot woot!

Oh, I really heart you. Really.

I am trying to google this promo but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Apparently, their website is not yet updated and doesn't feature the promo yet. So I am taking the liberty of writing them down here. :-)

The Card.

To bring awareness of the comeback of SBC's Spiced Berry Mocha, SBC is issuing its customers the Seattle's Best Coffee Love Card. The Love Card features four coupons which customers can avail anytime from Feb. 10, 2010 to March 31, 2010.

The Coupons.

I <3 Spiced Berry:

Enjoy a FREE upsize on your Spiced Berry Mocha or Javakula order.

I <3 Add-ons:

Make your drink more personal with a FREE add-on* on any drink.

*(Add on: Whipped cream, syrup or espresso shot)

I <3 Pastries: (I wished there were like five of this. Haha!)

Enjoy a FREE pastry of the day with any medium or large drink order.

I <3 Friendship: (My personal favorite.)

Buy an SBC Javajelly and get another drink of the same or lesser value to share for FREE.

The Verdict.

I, personally, am pleased with the Spiced Berry Javakula. It did erase all my inhibitions towards SBC's berry concoctions. I think my B&W Mocha now has to share my heart with the Spiced Berry. Oh well, I will always have room for coffee in my heart.

Anyway, I find this promo really sensible. I feel like I am really gonna get something out of my money. (Or maybe this is still the Javakula's caffeine talking. Whatev.) I am actually accumulating Php1500 for my VIP card. Turns out I can get more than my VIP card with this promo because I think I will be able to finish three cards. Which means, I'm giving out an "I <3 SBC" pin by the end of the month. <3 :-D

The Love.

Finishing three promo cards means I'll have more than one pin so I'm giving out an "I <3 SBC" pin by the end of the month. <3 :-D And since I'm ranting about coffee love after all, I am giving out my extra pin, or pins if I am that addicted to coffee, to whoever can tell me which of the coupons they want love the most, and of course, why. There's actually no other mechanics so you are free to express your own love for coffee, but I am out to look for the best reason. To join, simply leave a comment about the coffee lovebug in your system in the comment box below. (See, that's really really simple!) And oh, please do not forget to leave your email address so I'll know how to contact you when you win one of my pins, k? :-) Last comment has to be in by the midnight of the 28th!

<3,

Patricia ;-)
