Japan Country Series: Osaka

I just learned recently that aside from the Global Icon Series Collection, Japan releases its Japan Country Series as well.  The concept is almost the same as the Global Icon Series Collection but the designs of the Japan Country Series are 'Japanese' and features different provinces of the country.

This was bought by my boss, Miss Angel, who went to Japan about two weeks ago for personal trip.

JP001 : Osaka (Version 3)

I was really 'inggit' when I first heard that my boss is going to Japan for holiday this March - just in time for cherry blossoms!!! Gusto ko ring makita yon!!! Yet, instead of dwelling with that 'inggit', I also saw it as an opportunity to ask her a favor to collect Starbucks card for me - the Sakura cards in particular. And she willingly said yes to my request.

When she finally went there about two weeks ago.  I was really looking forward for her homecoming - I was excited to have an exclusively released in Japan Starbucks card at hand.  However, she never found any Sakura card after visiting 15 Starbucks in Japan (that's according to her count). Sakura cards were sold out (ganun ka-in demand!?) So, she got this card instead.  And I was so happy because she still got Starbucks card that is an exclusively released in Japan - the Osaka (Version 3)!

2015 Planner

Almost a quarter of the year had passed and yet it is just now that I am posting my 2015 planner. :)

Posted on Instagram (11.22.14): Starting my day with big smile: sulatan na yan ng viaje!!! ^_^

I got this as early as November 2014 from Starbucks-Waltermart. Personally, I find the packing very inspiring to plan for trips in 2015.  The design has a lot of stamps from other countries - parang nagsasabing, 'tara, viaje tayo!' and it even has 'best before' details.

The planner itself is also very kikay.  The cover is made of cloth with embroidered design of (tingin ko lang naman) a mermaid's upper body holding a mug with hot drinks. 

PI_010 : Spring Watering

Last night, after a long tiring day at the office, me with friends, Ann and Katz, took time staying at Starbucks - Glorietta 5.  To my delight, I found out about this newly released card, the Spring Watering.  S'yempre, I got one for myself! :)
