Visit at UP Town Center Startbucks

My family is a regular Starbucks customer. We normally visit Startbucks at UP-Ayala Technohub on weekends. The branch is a one of the place were you can relax and forget the stressful life living in Metro Manila; the blood-boiling traffic, the everyday crimes that might put the Philippines as one of the most dangerous place to live and the pollution that will choke the life out of you. But we Pinoys are resilient, luckily. Even in a depressing situations we can still smile and crack a few jokes. Sense of humor is really flowing in our veins. We are the third happiest country in the world based on Gallup International survey and it shows, right?

Technohub is not as crowded as the malls. Trees are plenty and there's a pond with lots of fish and few ducks; sadly, kois are gone. There is also a big area where kids can ride their bike or scoot around. There are restaurants too; Kanin Club, Amici, Pizza Hut, Yellow Cab, Kenny Roger Roasters, Army-Navy and Tokyo Tokyo just to name a few.

Sometimes we visit other Starbucks branches near commonwealth. One store that we went to was the one in UP Town Centre. The place was quite full when we visited with few students studying. It took us a while to get a table inside. But after staying for about 30 minutes, we decided to move outside to escape from the cold.

We ordered fraps and green tea latte with free birthday cake.

How PSP Revolutionized the Fliptop Community in the Philippines

The Fliptop Battle League, since its inception in 2010, has been the beating heart of Filipino hip-hop culture. It’s a raw, unfiltered arena where words are weapons, wit is currency, and lyrical prowess reigns supreme. But as the league grew, so did the need for evolution.
