I Finally Won!!! (Thank you, The Lead Character)

After having gone to several parties, it's disheartening that not once did I ever win a prize in any of the raffles  (sniff, sniff).  But my luck took a different turn when I came home one day after a hard day's work and decided to go on line.  So I made my cursory rounds with Facebook, my email, and finally my blog.  I also decided to check on what my fellow bloggers have posted.

The Lead Character's post got my attention.  He was having another contest and the prize is a 2011 Starbuck's Planner and since the previous winner couldn't get his prize, I also get to keep it.  It was a Jose Cuervo Tequila.

I arranged for a meet up with The Lead Character at Cakewalker's Caffe.   Unfortunately he didn't have a camera with him so no photos were taken of me receiving the prize.  Anyhow, per request, I decided to post this with my photo holding the prize.

Thanks so much to The Lead Character.  Will be using these items real soon.

Over at Cakewalker's

So in my previous post, I was talking about my test run of the Aerosoles footwear.  I trekked in it en route to Cakewalker's Cafe.  I had to head over there to claim my prize from The Lead Character.  So I had to do some waiting for my prize to arrive.  

It's not my first time at Cakewalker's.  A few weeks back I was there to meet up with my "fairy godmother" at itago natin siya sa ngalang Punky.  I already have several clothes made by Punky, from my workwear to something that I have to wear at a wedding.  To while away the time, I had to order something.  So I decided to go for a macadamia nut latte.

My first taste of their coffee

 As for the taste, it tastes like a decent latte, nothing really special.  I would definitely would have loved to have a few extra shots of the macadamia syrup to enhance the taste.

The bar area

The bar is a decent area.  I have no idea as to what brand their espresso machine is, or what kind of beans they are using.  They have an array of flavored syrup but so far, the Torani brand.

 And these are my views from the table where I sat.

 

Another drink that I tried was their Nutty Raspberry.  The raspberry and "nutty" flavors could be discerned in the iced latte.

They may not serve exceptional coffee but I still have yet to pass muster on their cakes.  After all, it's called Cakewalker's Caffe.

So I finally got my prize...a bottle of Jose Cuervo tequila and the Starbuck's 2011 planner.  Thanks very much to The Lead Character for having wonderful prizes for your fun contests.
