puppy
i feel like a puppy, always trying to follow you around.
i hate being clingy like a girl does but i love being with you.
i was already asking myself how do i go about it but you suddenly gave answer to my query.
thanks for the company.

don’t know how to say it but i really, really do want you to know how much appreciated and celebrated your existence in my life is. is this too much? i don’t know. all i know right now is my summer has started to become more lovely when you showed up. you intrigued me in ways nobody else has done before. you provided me a past time more exciting than surfing the net. you made the cafe adventure more tastier. you make new experiences more exciting. you patch up the boring moments of my life with good conversations.
yesterday, i revealed one of the most complicated and unwelcomed part of my terribly complicated complication. i take it that you received it rather nicely, so far from what i expected. thank you for that.
one of these days, i am going to let you know something bout me again. be ready. hoho!
do i sound lovesick? don’t be fooled.
sana, sana ikaw din ganito. :p
venti friendship latte, grande friend frappe
everywhere you look, a coffee shop comes to your eyes, waving and enticing to senses. with the vision of its cups full to the brim with aromatic coffee, salivary glands surely goes overdrive. you sure can taste the processed cacao, you sure can smell the delicious steam, you sure can feel the smooth texture in your mouth, you sure can imagine holding that favorite cup that proudly bears your name. you sure can feel that soft couch in your favorite corner in your favorite cafe, you sure can vibe that comfortable feeling of satisfaction as you slowly sip that wonderful concoction of your choice.
coffee has become a fad. people now go to coffee shops to read, relax and unwind, besides drinking the coffee. it has become the new tambayan, it has become the new study area. cafes are too flexible a place, bending to your own will. it always has a place for everyone, at any given time.
i, myself, go there for reasons mentioned above. but those aforementioned compose only a quarter percent in my reasons-of-going-to-cafes pie chart. the three-quarters left is captioned with the words “companion” and “friends”. i believe that coffees are not the main attraction of these cafes. they are vital but not so much as the ambiance of the place and the place itself that gives instant tambayans to those who seek it. of all the times i went to a coffee shop, less than my fingers in one hand stand for those loner mode. always, i come with a companion.
and companions are strictly and austerely chosen. just anybody wouldn’t do. It’s a must that he or she has a knack of talking, sensibly or otherwise. It is a must that bore is not in his vocabulary. it is a must that we are in the same wavelength.
Thank you for the venti javachip frappe. Thank you for the trinoma tour. Thank you for sharing details. thank you for the peep in your life, and wallet. Hope you had a fun time as I did, hope there is still another time.
PS
The barista finally got it correctly. This time, it was Cami on my cup of cold coffee.
