*Being my own Bo's...

I always love siding with the underdogs; so between Bo's Coffee (a local coffee club chain) and Starbucks, I remained loyal to the former for so long. I don't work in a 9-5 environment. My time is erratic as an eventologist. So whenever I had to meet clients, suppliers, and the likes, I would head to Bo's (the one in front of Cebu Doctor's Hospital in Capitol area)and order my favorite brewed coffee in paper cup (with cover, please)at any time of the day. Sorry to the environmentalists; but I prefer paper cups than mugs since I'm soo clumsy I can spill anything all the time. With the paper cup with cover, I'm almost always safe from possible 1st or maybe 2nd degree burns from my coffee. For several years, Bo's had been a part of my routine, uhurm, my everyday routine. It's not just the coffee nor the paper cup with cover option that made me loyal to Bo's. I think it's the company and the friendly smiles and extras (like free parking, free wi-fi connection and errand-running by their janitor or guard during off duty) that I get from it. I met a lot of people from different walks of life in Bo's. There's this group of lawyers and writers, another is a group of entrepreneurs and racketeers, also a set of judges and big political figures frequent it. Others are students studying for their midterms or board exams, people from organizations like Jaycees and Rotary, and lots of old friends from my many-faceted life. Oops, let's not forget our "drug-pushing friends" from different pharmaceutical companies, of course. Well, my then best friend shared the same "Bo's sentiments" with me, in fact it was her who influenced me in "Bo's-going."

I don't regret spending too much time in Bo's; in fact I believe I became a better me because of my extensive interactions with other people while sipping my fave coffee brew. However, people change and so does the Bo's Coffee experience. Tagay!
