as i've said, my trip to starbucks last saturday gave me an epiphany of what my vacation OUGHT to be... A SUMMER JOB AT THE CAFE! i got a leaflet of the application for a part-time or full-time barista! imagine... you'll be at the counter, in a classy, yuppie-laden, air-conditioned facility, smelling the aroma of coffee, working only four hours a day and enjoy a free drink after every shift! plus, you'll learn how to make delicious fraps and espressos! it's an average paying job, but that's fine, considering all the other amenities... i just want to get out of my predictable humdrum life! the fantasy got me daydreaming for some time (hmmm... create a blog about "the diary of a starbucks barista"... fancy the brews, eh?) until my mom inquired. she called the nearest starbucks place to my home (somewhere beside holiday inn), and indeed, there is a job opening for a barista... everything else was negotiable, save for my stupid age. they only accept people 18 years old and above, and a college student. i'm 17 years, 4 months and 22 days old AND ALMOST a college student. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO CHRONOLOGICAL? but no, we can't accept that. sorry. ... now what am i supposed to do?

well, if luck is still running on december, i actually might make a go at it. believe me.
