i am at starbucks now.. with my freaking notebook.. doing work, reading blogs, replying emails. what happened to just enjoy my coffee, timeOut, read a physical book?!
must be the revelation i had that i could online there.
argh! what happened!?
[ here's the story ]
i'm at this starbucks after work to get my mails cuz i was in the client's place the whole day. and i need to get some stuff settled before the next day. then as usual, got my coffee, on-ed my notebook and started doing my work. everyone around me also got their notebook on - for work, for discussion, for presentation, for surfing.
one adult came to starbucks - with his coffee and donut. looked around for a place to sit. twitched his mouth cuz there werent any clean table. then he found one. in the midst of all the other table that has notebook on it. i was one of them. he looked around. took a bite of his donut. looked around again as though he was lost in the techie world. finished his food, drank his drink. looked around again - thinking, whats happening. sip again, and another sip. looked around really lost in the crowd. then walked away.
got me to think. am i like the rest or am i like him. do i want to be like the rest or like him. enjoy the time without technology.
i used to wonder how can someone enjoy starbucks and notebook. what a contrary. until i started myself. on the notebook. talking to ppl virtually and not physically. doing my own stuff.
what has become of me..!?
i'm losing my mind.. soon
song in head : wake me up when september ends - greenday

Looks like you have become a cyber citizen la ... heh heh.
What's better than being in a wonderful starbucks atmosphere, enjoying your mocha and being able to surf the net - look up anything you want to :D hee hee
[unc siva] yea, without realizing i've become one. hahaha.. but i still want my coffee in reality.. never a virtual coffee! hahaha
[theresa] if only i could do that.. but somehow, work had its bigger priority. its really sad to work in starbucks on a weekend.
