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.

Microsoft Office365

Let's be honest about it. Apple office document apps sucks. Although, I am using Macbook 12-inch model as my personal laptop, I hate their office apps not because they are buggy or not user-friendly; but because of their limited adoption. Few people are using it (none of my friends and colleague uses it). I cannot use it in my work because people will curse me. There is only one instance where I used it, i.e. during our hackaton event. That's it. As expected, like any office worker; I am a regular user of Microsoft Office, i.e. word, powerpoint and excel. I bought office365 since it is cheaper and you always get the latest version. I am using it for 2 years now and my license will end August of this year (August 08, 2018 to be exact). I bought my last 2 licenses from lazada.com.ph for less than 2,000 pesos. As I don't want to lose my access to onedrive.com and office apps; I bought a new 1 year license from lazada.com.ph for 1,499 pesos inclusive of the shippi...

Earthwood Guitar String

My daughter requested a guitar because she wants to learn playing the instrument. We went to SM North to and buy the guitar at JB music store for 900+ pesos. She picked the gray-ish color. It is a beginner's guitar and with the price, I would say, the quality is average. But you can buy the same quality guitar at RJ music store at slightly lower price. One thing that she doesn't like is the strings which is painful to the fingers since they are very 'hard' (not sure if that is the right term though). So I checked Amazon to get some 'soft' guitar strings. Luckily, I found Earthwood that has a good reviews. I ordered and ship the item through my-shoppingbox.com. After almost 15 days, I received the strings. I replaced the old strings and tuned them using an Android App. It really made a big difference playing with Earthwood strings. It is more forgiving to the fingers and has a better sound quality (I am not a musician - just an opinion). My daughter is n...
