^dapat meron kuryente yun lounge. after 1 hr certain amp then progressive every 15 mins palakas ng palakas yun kuryente. pag makapal talaga mukha ayaw umalis isagad na para maging electric chair para death penalty sa sobrang kapal ng mukha

baligtarin na lang kaya ng starbucks yun business model nila, may bayad na lang mag tambay tapos free ang coffee,

kikita kaya na mag open ako ng internet lounge? hinde internet shop ha. pang lounge lang talaga magdadala ka pa rin ng sarili mong laptop pero meron individual cubicles but the design is mga bean bags, sofa hinde cubicle na parang sa office para meron privacy or pwede rin VIP rooms for groups tapos per hour na lang bayad + yun internet connection...tapos meron ibang rooms na meron mga game consoles kung gusto naman mag tambay at gusto lang maglaro ng games... parang starbucks pa rin ang ambiance na gagawin ko. para mga social climber pumunta pa rin.

so internet lounge that happens to sell coffee and extra service.

For me, the best place to study is in my room at home. No tv, no radio. Just me and my books / notes.

If you want to get excellent grades:
(1) pay attention to the teacher during class.
(2) sit in the front row so you can focus on the lecture.

twice pa lang ako bumili ng starbucks, way 2003 pa. pa-sip-sip lang ako sa mga pamangkin o mga sis ko. t*ngna naman kasi ang mahal ng mga ganyang kape!
eka nga ni tado nung di pa siya kilala sa documentary niya: "istarbaks kofi, a cap op kofi can feed the whoooooole family!"
i'd buy ground coffee sa grocery and boil it in our good o'l percolator. saraaaap!
or pag tinatamad solve na sa kopiko o nescafe 3-1. yameee!
and kung anak ko hihingi ng pera kesyo mag-aaral sa starbucks? aral? gunggong!

For most ppl, mas nakakaconcentrate sila to study in public (believe it or not) i know a lot of them. Its really not because sossy dun or the need to be "seen". Walang pakialamanan na lang siguro, lahat na lang pinupuna natin eh.

Kanya kanyang trip lang yan. Dito palang sa tsikot, marami ng nagsasabing mas ok magaral or gumawa ng trabaho kapag nasa starbucks or any other coffee shops sila. Meron din naman ibang ayaw dun.

When I was still studying, parang 1 or 2 branches palang ang starbucks sa pinas and talagang di pa uso noon mga coffee shops kaya di ko naexperience yan.
