The Way I See It... #1 and #2

st#1:
I may only live once, But I can dance with my lemon juice at a grocery store on a Saturday at 7 a.m. to Barry Manilow's Copa Cabana* every week.


#2:
"A Grande non-fat, extra caramel, but in the cup and not on top, no foam, and extra hot Macchiato please"

Quit mangling my name jackasses.
It's almost automatic. I like my coffee perfect to start my day.
After picking it up at the bar I take my usual seat.. (so usual in fact, that an acquaintance I ran into asked if I had moved since he last saw me there 2 weeks ago).
An indian fellow wearing oversized sunglasses reminiscent of another decade is at the register placing his order with a queue behind him that reached the door.


"I would ... please.... like... a ..... a ... mocha.. yes.. a mocha"

"What size sir?"

He pauses in thought.
You could almost see the line of people groaning and mentally urging him to get on with it.

" ... a small.... no... no... a large... but please... make .. extra.. extra ... "

By now the place has gone quiet as everyone listens expectantly.. we're all at the edge of our seats-- say it .. say it!

"please.. make it ... extraa....aaah.... extra delicious!"

Practically the whole place bursts into laughter.

He picks up his mocha, sits on a stool and looks quite complacent sipping on his "extra-delicious" mocha like a happy oversized child.


.. I envy such simplicity.

Update-- HOLY SHIT he turned out to be arab.. haha. Yil3an abu il 7a'6! lets hope he doesn't blog ay? heh.








*Her name was LOLA.. she was a shoow girl.. with yellow ribbons in her hair.. aand a dress cut down to there--something something- the copa, copa cabaaaanaaa
....
if you know how the song ends, you'll see the irony of it all.

#2
Hey! That's my coffee!! Except I don't believe in "non/low-fat"

Leen honey, Lola had yellow feathers not ribbons in her hair =P

Erm I love that song, but it's kinda disturbing

Taqwa:
BELIEVE me sweetheart you do noot want to give him "bosa".. he'll ask that you make it extra delicious ;)


Sam:
Of course I am dah'ling.. it's very becoming, don't you think?

my fuse has lengthened so lay off.


Anon:
Al7een anooonymous o 7aala .. and you come up with "lol".
zain. heh.


Mystique:
Who's cuddly? you better mean the mocha!


Sed:
It's a little over a 100 calories less and tastes the same with non/fat. Scratch the whip and you've shaved over 200 cals..

Heh.. was it feathers?
I'm a master at butchering lyrics.. aaand I can't carry a tune.. but I can sure twirl on a Sat morning.


Shoosha:
We can only be joined if you're left handed.. or if I finally become ambidextrous..

... feeeever


Diabz:
I'm not in Saudi dear. We've parted ways some time ago..

My saudi?

Leen/Leeno, why try to act like a smartass? You know the girl meant you're. Diabz why do you care whether someone's Saudi or not, you've been on a previous blog already surprised when you found out someone wasn't Saudi.

I am a smartass.

Pop a midol, none of this pertains to you.

Tantalize--

Heh. I don't know if the sceeene was orgasmic, but a good Caramel Macchiato can sure be.

Ah yes, I was at Starbucks with a friend of mine once in London, and she placed one of those funky complicated orders - a sign of sophistication, I suppose.

Me? "Um, orange juice please...no ice, you cant con me you b*stards" (last bit was in my mind).

By  illogicist, at 28 March, 2006 18:30  

Arrianaaaa hehehe I just saw that!

So did you try that double chocolate cheesecake? Looks heavenly :)

By  Sedna, at 29 March, 2006 06:50  

Illogicist:
Nah.. not really a cry for sophistication. Every time I order I tweak it until my order is 5 seconds long and I wonder when I've turned into my mother.

You know what gets me? Those who come in and order a sugar-free, decaf, skim coffee.. ya3ni wish taby?! overpriced brown water?


daydreamer:
wala cute wala shay.. yig3id 3al counter o yitmaila7 3ala the blondies.
it's late.. excuse the lang. interference.. mani bmas7a.


Sedna:
It's no where near my name.. 3ala kaifah sammany.
No I didn't.. just looking at it clogs my arteries..heh.

By  Trevelyana, at 29 March, 2006 22:11  

Scary thing is that it actually is my order.
