My newest best friend

as of Jan, 2006, starbucks has got approximately 10,868 stores worldwide, with ambitious goals to reach 30,000 [which i think is not impossible].

this company has been pretty successful in its operation since it opened its door in 1971.

americans live on starbucks. that place is everywhere. you need caffine at the airport, you got it!

if you need even more caffine to help continue your shopping spree, don't worry, starbucks is there to give you the boast.

lazy to get out of your car? no sweat man! we got drive thru.

but for $2.60 for a tall cuppacino everyday, it is a little too much!

since i got to the states nearly 4 yrs ago, i don't drink starbucks alot [can count with my 2 hands].

first, i don't think is worth paying for that stuff when i could get a good kopi for US $0.60 from the kopitiam back home.

well, of course you can't get 60 cents coffee here, so if i need a cup of joe, i like to go to my local coffee joint and there is one coffee place in tucson that is so much better than starbucks.

OKAY... WAIT...

but shit! since i started working and the nearest starbucks being just outside my office, i have found my new best friend.

in the afternoon, i realised that that wonderful green logo [preferably a cuppacino] does make a difference in my well-being. i ACTUALLY can last thru my day, and NOT curse more as the day passes.

starbucks actually rocks when i'm working! die liao lah.

emm.. but since the ratio of the equation below is 4:1. i think i'm gonna to be just fine :)
