Christmas at Starbucks Has Begun!

Can you feel the Christmas air? 'Coz I do! And it's that time once again when many people are going crazy to chug down caffeine just to collect stamps and have their much coveted Starbucks Planner. Mr. J and I already started with ours the other day. Little did we know that they're giving one free stamp to the first few customers and we're in! So 11 stamps to go!

My Hot Toffee Nut Latte (around PhP 150)
Chocolate Toffee Nut Loaf (PhP 45)

Starbucks Planner 2011

Stained Dark Wood Panels, Maroon Velvet Fabric and Cool Clean Stainless Steel

I promised myself not be ecstatic with this year's planner as I am last year when I got my first Sbux planner hahaha. But if ever we can finish the stamp card, it will be for Mr. J and we'll get the Silver one.

You need 17 stamps, 9 for Holiday Featured Beverages and 8 for either their Core Beverage or VIA Ready Brew! Promo is from November 3, 2010 to January 5, 2011. So if you haven't got the chance to enjoy these Christmas drinks, visit any Starbucks branch and get your stamp card too. My favorite is Hot Toffee Nut Latte which is the perfect blend for me of Hazelnut and Vanilla with sprinkle of Toffee bits over whipped cream! Good for these breezy nights that's feels Oh-so-Christmas! :)

Starbucks Summer Drinks

On April 20, Starbucks will reveal their cool offerings for summer. I still don't have an idea what it is really but I guess it has something to do with espresso and java chip ;) Just a wild guess.

So for those Starbucks fanatics out there, head on to your fave branch and let's discover another better way to beat this heat! Just minutes away til 12. :)

CBTL Fru-Tea Ice Blended

I've announced here before that CBTL will launch their summer drinks on March 14 and will give away 12 oz. complimentary drink of your choice of either "Pomegranate Fru-tea"or "Lemon Zest Fru-tea"..We're there at their Trinoma Branch by 10:30 AM to give it a try. *wink* There's a whole family enjoying their CBTL Fru-Tea by the time we came in!

Take a look at how refreshing they are..

Lemon Zest Fru-Tea and Pomegranate Fru-Tea

Since this will be our breakfast too, hubby and I had some add-ons to our order.

Ensaymada Php 65

Light-as-air puff pastry, smothered with butter and cheese.

Blueberry Muffin Php 80 (not sure with the price)

Stuffed from top to bottom with blueberries.

It's our first time to order these pastries and we loved it. As much as we loved their summer drinks. Hubby prefer Lemon Zest because it is so refreshing and I can attest to that. While I love Pomegranate Fru-Tea for its sour kick. We will surely try these drinks again..so hot in Manila ayt?

I know this is a late post, I almost forgot sorry :)

How about you have you tried it? Happy Monday everyone!
