Happy Hours At Starbucks

'tis the season to be jolly!

Welcome back to Lyndon Speaks!

Started last Monday, 2nd of May 2011, and will end this Sunday, 8th of May 2011, Starbucks Philippines is offering their world-famous frappuccino at 50% less their original prices. It is like a BOGO for Starbucks' Frappuccino.

From 12:00 high noon until 2:00 in the afternoon for one whole week, frappuccino enthusiasts can enjoy their favorite Starbucks drinks at half a price. And to better service all Starbucks' patrons, the store is limiting an order of 2 cups per person.

Of course, Filipinos grabbed the chance to enjoy their favorite drinks at a lower price. That is why several Starbucks shops in the country are jam-packed with frappe-cravers. To help you fully enjoy your drinks, here are some tips from Lyndon Speaks.

Excitement helps. Go early.

Go to the store before 12:00 noon to avoid the long queues. You may enjoy your favorite drink with your food for lunch. Being early on the store will ensure you the first spot on the line and will guarantee you with the drink that you want to order. Take it from me who did not get my first choice of drink. =)

The more hidden it is, the better.

Look for a Starbucks store hidden from most of the people. These stores may be hard to find but, hey, Starbucks is everywhere and you would find one which is not visible and accessible to most people. Try the Starbucks store located at the lower ground floor of Greenbelt 5 in Makati. You'll probably get your frappuccino in 20 minutes or less (unlike in a crowded store where you'll spend an hour to have a sip on your drink).

Try a fancy name.

If your name is Jason, James, Kristina, or Maria, try not to use it. If you have Paul for a name, try not to use it as it would be very confusing if the barista will call it out and 5 more people with the same order as yours are coming at the counter. Try to use fancy names like: Tinkerbelle, Tiburcia, Tiburcio, Agapito, Thumbellina, Aladdin, Snow White. If you have your friends with you, why not try to give the names of Snow White's seven dwarves. "One grande Moccha Frappuccino for Tinkerbelle" - now that would be good to hear! =)

Clean your ears.

If you have picked a store along a busy road, make sure you had your ears cleaned because you need to have a good hearing after you have ordered. Make sure that you are able to pick a spot where you can hear the baristas calling out your name and your order. Most people stay in front of the pick-up counter. You may not stay there with them as long as you can hear the baristas calling out your name clearly.

Bring your own patience.

Long queues on both the counter and the pick-up station may discourage you. Don't be and never be! Bring loads and loads of patience when you want to get your drink at half the original price. The rewards that you'll reap will surely suffice the patience that you'll give for just one hour. Hahahaha. =)

Know what you want.

Try not to be the person in line that everyone hates. Do not think of your order when you are already in front of the counter. You'll have plenty of time to decide while you are standing on the long queue. It would be much better if you are ready to order even before you reach your turn.

Those are just some few tips. And I hope that these will help you enjoy your half-priced Starbucks Frappuccino.

'til next time! Enjoy!

Sip on!

Fast and Furious: Fast 5: Rio Heist

Cars, vault, bald-muscled men, humor, and more cars!

Welcome back to Lyndon Speaks!

As usual, I would not go into the details of this movie. All I'm gonna do is invite all of you to watch it on the big screen.

The latest installment of the Fast and the Furious series is now playing on movie houses in the Philippines nationwide. Set on Brazil, Fast Five brings back our favorite duo - Dom and Brian. If you loved the first FF movies, then you'll love this even more as this is as thrilling as the rest of its brethren in the series. Fast Five centers on the value of family. Also, keep your butts glued on your seats even when the credits are rolling. =)

Fast Five stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris to name a few. Fast Five is directed by Justin Lin.

Fast Five is really worth watching on the big screen. I did enjoy watching it!
