Counting the stars of Starbucks

Last night after a group dinner with some old friends, we went for a drink at Starbucks. I am aware that I won't be able to sleep if I have coffee at night. So I avoid anything that comes with 'Latte', 'Espresso' and even 'Mocha'. I place my order on something with 'Caramel' with ice, hopefully there is less caffeine in it. I don't know how to spell the last words, and I order the 'Tall' size. which is the smallest one. (Until now, I still have no idea why the 'tall' size is the smallest one, I think they could make things more simple with standard SML size, may be it has to do with my poor English).

I took my first sip of my caramel drink. Just like usual, I think the taste of Starbucks still doesn't fit into my liking compare to Coffee Bean, it is just my personal preferance okay, I don't want to flame by those "Starbucks Lifestylist". For me, I think there are too much of milk inside the coffee, the milk covers the true aroma of the coffee. I can only salute them on their successful marketing strategy, which makes people think that surfing net (except porn) with your Dell XPS and have your Starbucks in the cafe is like an 'in' thing or some sort of 'lifestyle'.

Anyway, after dropping off my friend, it was 2am when I reached home. I feel a bit fresh so I check out my facebook, and read some online news.

At 4am, I am still very fresh, I try to go to bed but I can't sleep at all... and finally, I fell asleep around 6am!!

Damn, all I can say is, Starbucks is another product that the students can consider, if you don't like the taste of chicken essence, you can consider Starbucks. If the 'tall size' can't keep you awake, try 'grande' or whatever size they called it!
