Random Dialogues: Starbucks Planner 2009

Yesterday, my friends Vivora* (broker), Pachuchai* (flight attendant), Daddo* (bum) and I met at Starbucks somewhere in Legaspi Village for some coffee:

Vivora: Oi! Look at the new Starbucks Planner!

Vivora’s loud ‘announcer sa Bingguhan sa probinsya’ voice got everyone (even the people at the next table) looking at the counter.

Daddo: Is it a set, or does it come in three colors?
Giuseppe: I think you get to choose one…
Vivora: I like the red one, very trendy…
Pachuchai: Starbucks ‘is’ trendy. I don’t think they have it elsewhere.
Giuseppe: I spent a fortune just to get one last year. I ended up not using it at all.
Daddo: So, will you get one this year?
Giuseppe: I don’t think so.
Pachuchai: No, I’m leaning towards drinking water na lang.
Vivora: I think I’ll just buy a planner at Fino.
Giuseppe: Amen!

We all finished our Christmas coffee blends and went back to our own lives.
