wild eyed wanderer




I finally got the planner I was lusting for... if only I can recapture the thoughts and the emotions that I felt when I was on my way home after all the get-togethers that I have been to, I would. Obviously, now I can't. Allow me however to include what I managed to frantically type & save on my mobile phone:

The Starbucks Planner Lesson.
It's not the actual planner that I'll treasure but the stories that go with it as I try to claim it. The people who helped me get it, the tissues I have wasted, the washrooms I trashed... ours included, the giddy quick stories I shared with friends as baristas put stickers and sign their names on it... the endless chatter as we finish our own plastic cups. Starbucks is expensive and overrated. But the moments I was able to spend with my friends there for hours and hours are (cliche but true) PRICELESS. It's really not the destination but the journey that matters. One planner, different cups of coffee, different faces, different stories. Starbucks coffee is expensive, memories are cheap.

From now on, I'll just collect the latter since I've had more than enough of the coffee.
