Jaworski!

I grew up loving basketball. I remember saving money for magazines and cuting the pages for a scrapbook and even rolling a tube of perfume so that it will smell good. Only to realize that it will ruin the paper!

Of all teams in PBA, I rooted and placed bet on Ginebra! Well it is my dad's team, I don't know why I did not choose another team but l'm glad l didn't.

Today, we (l put we as l am writing a post) pay tribute to the number 7 Jersey.






The Barangay is so noisy in twitter. If only Filipinos are as united as the barangay Ginebra fans, Philippines will be a better place.

To Jawo, though your not really my favorite player but you have been part of how I loved Ginebra. *APPLAUSE

Gaksital - Wishing its always Wednesday!

I stopped at episode 6.  By the way this might contain spoilers, better watch it with subs at kimchidramas or dramacrazy.

I refrain from watching it week by week for I know I will find it difficult to kill my anticipation for the next episode. But the feeling of being behind in appreciating a very good drama, kills me even more, so I promised to see the episodes that I missed. Next week will be episodes 13 and 14.  Will they have a kiss this time? They just manage to embrace, that melted my heart.

I love how this year, I manage to catch good dramas, a very good drama for that matter.  When it comes to drama, action is not really my cup of coffee (hehe), but this one just give the right amount of drama that I need, and right amount of action.

I still don't know what this lady-from-noble-family-turned-geisha-daughter-of-samurai-club-leader role in this drama. Maybe the slapping of Chief Kimura.  I am glad, whenever he gets a slap, for she is the only one that can do it. I'm hoping for a mind blowing twist for her character.  Though we already know that she has some crush on Kang-to and us too! Let me correct that I loooooveeeee Kang-to.

One thing that I like so much in this drama is that nobody is acting fool.  Details that were put in each scene will be explained later, which will complicate things!  I like it when Gaiso, spotted how our Kang-to reacted (he reached for his gun) when Shunji is about to slice the head of Boon Yi aka Mok Dan, aka the ultimate bait for catching Gaksital.  Its good that this spy/leech circus member which I don't bother to research her name, is finally caught by Kang-to.  I laughed at myself when I am screaming at my screen "Kang-to, don't fall into their trap!' while biting my fingernails.

My chest hurts when Shunji told Kang-to how he feels.  A complete deja vu for Kang-to.    Its beautiful how the drama told us about the same agony of the then Gaksital to our present Gaksital.

Sniff sniff at the scene when Kang-to realizes that Shunji is becoming like him, the Kang-to that is so obsessed at finding Gaksital.And even worse, he (Gaksital) is so close and even shares the same room with him. Waaaahhhh!

This entry can go a mile, for I watched 6 episodes, 2 last night and 4 today. its 1am and still have to work tomorrow.

As I write this, I am listening to Ulala Session's "Goodbye Day", Gaksital's OST.  I love this song so much.  Of course this drama is packed with good OST, the musical score is just fantastic! Can't wait for the full OST. Speaking of Ulala Session, I didn't expect that I will like them.  I saw theM wearing colorful suites, in My Immortal Song 2, singing against K. Will. Of course I cheered for K Will, now when I see them again, for sure I will now cheer for them.

Last note, Joo Won, my hands are down with your acting, really I heart you!

Strike 2 - Starbucks Dubai Bad Customer Service

I remember when i first gotten into blogging that one of my long entry was about how i got a bad customer service from Starbucks. Now Starbucks us not really my favorite coffee shop, its just that they are everywhere. I got over of that experience and started to patronized it again for its availability.

Got my usual iced Americano at starbucks. I was influenced by Yong and I understand why he loves it so much even that it is bad for his throat condition. This time it was special for I added vanilla syrup which is an additional 5 dirhams. After I finished the jumbo hotdog from fat burger I sipped into my coffee to my hearts content. But only to realized that its 90% ice!






I felt cheated and so I complained. Its not really a complaint but rather informing them that they put a lot of ice (more than the usual that I get every week). And add so I asked if he (the only barista there at that moment that I can speak to) was the one who made my coffee. He answered me coldly, "no" and smirked. Its like the very cold drink that I have because of the grande ice that they gave me instead of just an iced coffee. He forgot ownership. As I worked as a customer service rep, we were always reminded in taking ownership even its not yours because you and your other colleague are part of one company. And the fault of one usually represents the whole company and so taking ownership is important.

I really don't know the standard of Starbucks when it comes to iced coffee but based on my frequent orders of that beverage, I believe that they put more. Now I know that they are just probably tired its 7 in the evening on a Thursday night and there's a lot of people. And they are only three barista. All I wanted is an acknowledgment that indeed they put a hell lot of ice, an apology and even a fake smile will do.

With this experience I will avoid Starbucks for the second time for their bad customer service.
