Starbucks Planner 2015

Starbucks really knows how to increase their sales in Christmas season. Specially here in South Korea, where the young people loves coffee, they obviously targeting those young crowd. So since I am one of those coffee drinker, I have finally completed the 17 stickers in 3 weeks (probably), and I got a Starbucks planner after consuming 17 cups of coffee (14 core beverages + 3 Christmas beverages) as they required. I believe that the feature of the planner provided in South Korea will be look different in other countries. Here are the photos of what it looks like inside the planner. 

So, here is the one I got. Basically the planner comes with three different colors (red, green and black) and two different sizes. I prefer black color, but I have no choice since the shop I went only has the red one. 

Lets take a look some details on the inside. It starts with personal information as you can tell from the picture below. 

Just like normal diary and planner out there that Korea usually has, the planner has month calendar view with some space where you can leave some reminders, notes, or whatever you please. 

It also comes in different themes where it covers pictures of the popular view in South Korea to start the month. Let the pictures do the talking because we all know that pictures always talk louder than words do. 

How to Decorate Your Personal Diary 2

Another overview of my diary. I am sorry that I cannot show the whole things here because it is so personal. But, I found the first month of the year seems so common so I decided to capture it and share. By the way, let me tell you something. Writing diary is one of the best way to capture your memories, feelings, and moments. It does things different from what photos do. I mean you don't always take photo every single day (maybe you do selfie), but when you get older you might forget what happen every single day although photo can help you. Trust me, when you start to make your own personal diary, you might feel that life is really really beautiful and important. After a year, when you open back your diary, you will still feel the same as what you felt during those moments you have been through. The things you have done, the food you have eating, the people you have met, the life you have experience. EVERYTHING! Everything, that you went through and learnt during the year.

STARBUCKS COFFEE (스타벅스 커피) in Wolgok

I am lucky enough to live nearby a place that has so many coffee shops around with their own themes ranging from rustic to modern, simple to fancy one. Considering that I am a coffee addict and love to haunt the coffee shops around me to try out all menus they have (especially Americano and Soy latte). 

Anyway, I have shared some of my favorite coffee shops that I visit the most. And for today's post I wanna introduce Starbucks coffee shop nearby Wolgok station. I know that it's toooooo late for me to do so because there are some bloggers who have posted the same thing in their own blog or other social media platforms. Though I don't care. Who knows mine can help others out too. Am I right??? 

So, this shop is located near the Wolgok Station, just right next to Home Plus building. From the station exit no. 1, turn right there you will see the shop which shares the same building with BBQ Chicken Cafe. It was opened in 2013. I can say that the place is always full by students every day. They always play Jazz song (as Starbucks has their own tunes types). Also, what I like about Starbucks is the taste of the Coffee and those tumbler and mugs they have.

BLACK LABEL COFFEE [카페 블랙라벨] in Wolgok

Some people (usually foreigners/tourists) always ended up in either Starbucks or Coffee Bean or Cafe Bene because they couldn't find interesting cafés in Seoul or don't familiar with the local cafés. I am telling you, there are plenty of cafés out there around Seoul since Korea is obsessed with coffees and cafés. 

Just the one right here, Black Label Coffee. The owner seems to be a model (I think I am right) by seeing the interior design where a big runway model poster and a short sleeve loose T-shirt hang on the wall. This makes the place look so classy yet unique and thats the reason why I love its atmosphere. I always get the peaceful feeling whenever I see the plants inside. I love plants since I was 12 years old that's why I love those rooms or coffee shops that have plants. Not only this, but they do have cool and classy interior design, yet it is located near the main street. So, it is perfect for those who like watching people passing by. Specially in the rainy day or snowing time, with their full length glass of window, you can get a great view and feeling. You could also sit under the sunshine outside the Café during the summer time, smoke or chitchat with your friends while having your drink. 

The only thing that makes you feel uncomfortable is that they have rest room outdoor. I don't mind it. I mean it is OK for me during the seasons minus the winter time because it is cold to go for several times to the rest room. 

By the way, if you got a change to come nearby Wolgok station, don’t be hesitated to stop by. From Wolgok station exit no. 3 just keep going straight (~5 minutes) until you can see Dunkin' Donuts you will see coffee shop is just next to it.
