"I couldn't stand to see the queen breathe her dreams away
And tell me her tomorrow will never become today
I say I used to know a woman just like you,
Beautiful but jaded by the multitude of men who'd often try to
Justify their lies with twisted notions of survival
And hide behind their armor when karma completes a cycle
She replied
That just because I knew a woman well it doesn't mean I know them all
She begins to bade farewell
Eyes up to the sky, she sighs, I need nobody
True indeed, sister, but you still need everybody because
We hardly know ourselves if we know nobody else
And only in our loneliness can home become a hell"

There’s a Starbucks in Baguio, and it’s relatively remote in comparison to Manila. Oh capitalism indeed!I am totally not surprised that Starbucks is present in Manila. The starbucks coffee shop was just walking distance away from the hotel we stayed at. They are totally overpriced!
It costs P145 (Pesos) for a cup of mocha Frappucino.
Convert that to dollars…145/44=$3.22!
A typical cup of coffee in the Philippines usually costs P5…That’s 11cents! (in US money)
That means Starbucks coffee in the Philippines is 30x more expensive than a regular cup of coffee.
With P145, I can buy a nice t-shirt and probably 2 pairs of decent flip flops!
Oh capitalism…
