Discounted Starbucks Coffee Drink on Earth Day 2009Note: Just a quick blog post before I return to work. :)

Happy Earth Day folks! Today, we celebrate mother earth’s glory, as we “discipline” ourselves to ruin save our planet by ANY means necessary. :P

Starbucks celebrates Earth Day today by taking Php 40 off to all of its drinks; simply bring any mug or tumbler upon ordering. This is to reduce wastes caused by plastic glasses and Styrofoam cups consumed everyday, wreaking more damage to our environment. The sale is up until tomorrow, so better grab your favorite mug or tumbler now and score an el-cheapo Starbucks drink! I actually got a tall Caramel Macchiato for only Php 90 (regular price is Php 130)!

Moreover, they are currently selling Earth Day tumblers. The smaller one costs about Php 585 the last time I checked. I find these cutesy green tumblers very pretty, and it seems like they’re beckoning me to get one! Oh noes, oh noes. :D

Of course, everyone’s favorite search engine, Google, embellished its logo in commemoration of Earth day:

I attended the Guerlain & YSL Press Launch last time wearing a Korean mini-dress. It’s a pink and white printed combo that appears to be a semi wrapped around on the topmost part of the dress. I thought of pairing it up with a cutesy pearly white ballet flats embellished with rhinestones the shape of a butterfly.

Since It was just right for dinner time after the event, I tried to grab mine at Delifrance–quite ironic for my asian getup. I ordered Seafood Marinara and Bailey’s Spiked Coffee. All was well and my 300-peso something bill was quite worth it.

Seafood Marinara

*Seafood Marinara*

Delifrance’s Seafood Marinara is one of its house specialties. Pasta is tomato-based and filled with shrimp and squid pieces. I really love this pasta ‘coz it reminds me of my classic favorite Puttanesca and this certain seafood pasta in Kitchen.

Bailey's Spiked Coffee

*Bailey’s Spiked Coffee*

Bailey’s has been my favorite drink, well say, next to the fierce Absolut vodka! It can be drunk on the rocks or infused as a chocolate mudshake. What I love about their Bailey’s Spiked Coffee is the non-alcoholic taste that blends well with the coffee-chocolate concoction. It really tastes like mudshake sans the icy feel.

After which, I got to drop by Uncle Mo’s at Valle Verde 3 to finally meet Issang, Jaja’s BFF, who’s surprisingly been a Marian like me (classmate actually!) and loves fashion just as I do. I also met her friends and Madz’s officemates-slash-friends of course.
