Hi everyone! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed my last blog entry! ^_^
I'm so happy to be back in Seattle and back at work!
One thing I missed about Seattle were the friendly baristas at Starbucks! Everyone is just extra nice here in my opinion! I also feel like they make the best coffee drinks out of all the non-Washington Starbucks I've visited.
While I was at home I introduced my dad to what I call Starbucks "Vietnamese Coffee."
I order a Grande size regular iced coffee with milk (which comes sweetened) with an additional 2 shots of white mocha syrup. It taste just like delicious Vietnamese coffee!
My barista gave me a Venti size cup because she was generous! After all the ingredients with the white mocha syrup, there wasn't enough room for ice! She gave me a larger cup with lots of ice free of charge. : )
My dad was impressed and he enjoys a cup of traditional iced Viet coffee every morning! You could also order iced espresso instead of coffee, but my body can't handle espresso. lol
I'm more of a tea drinker, but I do enjoy my occasional Vietnamese Coffee, or Starbuck's "Viet Coffee" like I got today. : )
My friend Jenny on Twitter mentioned that she reached a new level on her Starbucks card.
I was so intrigued and I researched how to earn rewards from Starbucks. Over Christmas, Minh and I received a couple Starbucks gift cards from family, and friends. *Shout out to Chi Kimmy, and Mikie for the generous gift cards!* Thank you! *hugs*
I learned about the Starbucks app from my good friend Marisa. She said I can use it to pay for my drinks with just my phone! I downloaded the Starbucks app on my iPhone and registered my Starbucks card. My gift card amount appeared on my phone, and I was able to have my Starbucks barista scan the bar code (after touching the "touch to pay" button on my phone to pay for my Starbucks drinks today! I was blown away! Where have I been all these years? Being an iPhone user just gets better and better EVERYDAY. I am beyond impressed and will continue to rave about Apple products forever!
Our new fun goal is to compete with one another to earn the ultimate gold Starbucks card (it's a personalized Starbucks card with your name on it!)!!
LOL, can you tell I have a small interest..well obsession with earning gold cards?
I will keep you updated on my Starbucks rewards here on blog. My quarter of a century birthday is coming up in April family and friends! Starbucks cards are always appreciated! ; )
My other favorite drinks at Starbucks include the Shaken Black Ice Tea, and Ice Water! ; )
What are you favorite drinks from Starbucks?
Do you have this fabulous Starbucks app that allows you to buy a drink from Starbucks without bringing anything but your smart phone?!
If you have never tried Vietnamese coffee, I encourage you to break out of your shell and try something deliciously new. I hope to hear from you after you try your first Viet coffee!
Our giant Toyota Tundra truck for the next month! Thanks to Minh's Dad who is on vacation in Vietnam on a long vacation! :)
Have a great weekend everyone!! Stay safe, stay warm, stay incredibly awesome!
