Starbucks brand

上周五(12/4)和本周五(12/11)星巴克推出了「感恩回饋」活動,所有商品均八五折優惠(除飲品外)。除此之外,只要在這兩天星巴克門市消費,即送限定在12/24平安夜和12/25聖誕節當日「買一送一」卡。

我在上周跑去買了兩個星巴克杯,非常有聖誕氣氛,都是聖誕節的綠色:一個是提手黛安娜杯,另外一個則是每年年底都會出的雪花馬克杯。本來我自己是比較喜歡紅色的雪花杯,沒想到等到上周來買,全台幾乎搶售一空,才發現原來這款簡單的馬克杯人氣超高!後來也放棄找紅色雪花杯了,只能跟它說殘念...(等明年再買對杯好了)

再經過這次「首次」在星巴克消費非飲品商品的經驗後,我深深感受到星巴克在建立品牌的威力,光是杯款的搶購風潮,就令我印象深刻。我想,他就像懶熊一樣,到了某個時間點就會推出不同設計的款式,針對台灣近年來興起的收集狂熱,星巴克的周邊商品也像是帶著某種魔力,某些愛好者就會瘋狂的收集...但也只能說,星巴克跟懶熊一樣,價錢都非常不親切 QQ

倒數

默默地又到了12月
最喜歡的聖誕月

沒想到我幾乎就沒寫過網誌了
都是寫在p2居多(其實也沒寫些什麼....)
好偷懶
說沒空其實也沒在幹嘛

謝謝還有NBA填空我的生活
以及好看的電影&影集們
在這應該迫在眉睫的12月也可以有個逃避的私人空間

本月大推暮光之城、下一站 幸福

Weekly Business

昨天跑到圖書館窩了好久

其實是跑去借書,順便看了商業週刊(Business Weekly)

What an amazing thing!

竟然看了商周!其實就算發生了,不該是這麼驚訝的事情吧?但對我而言,是滿驚訝的!

回到台南後我很宅,連跑圖書館都懶了。大概是因為在成大的時光,我的生活範圍僅只於光復校區裡的管理學院的後面的企業管理學系大樓裡面的四樓...踏到圖書館去,還要窩在裡頭,真的是很稀有事件!

嘻嘻,總之我作到了!

對自己說一聲: "Not bad! Maybe you can keep doing this as a routine."    (嗯...我會好好考慮的)

something I got from Business Weekly:

沒想到現在用網路創業的人真的很多,連手機平台上面的應用程式開發也是塊大沃土,昨天一度想找EG也來投入這塊。雖然其實要說出個所以然來我真的不懂......不過就像雜誌裡面說的,就算不會寫程式也沒關係,找人合作就好了嘛!好有衝勁啊~在大學的時候或許就真的衝了!

看了BW後才知道Opera是來自挪威的瀏覽器,創始者早期的奮鬥過程真是不容小覷,成功是需要堅持和頑固(stubborn)的!!雖然雜誌裡說現在很多手機平台的瀏覽器都是用Opera,我其實不太知道要怎麼去分辨什麼的瀏覽器核心是用什麼的...不過聽起來Opera真的是滿厲害的,有小題大作的精神,把小事情辦好就是很了不起的概念!

另外,本期主題是「看不見的5%」(意指很難會發生的事件,發生機率落於統計常態分配中的左右微小的兩塊...),雖然我不知道我的看不見的5%是什麼(大概是找不到工作這類的?),但是它的概念很有令人好好發想的空間(就算是再不可能發生的事情,它就是有可能會發生,像這次的88水災【從未有人想過會這麼嚴重】、之前的921大地震、911恐怖攻擊事件等等),不管是在投資、作事方面,都是很有幫助的一個切入角度...雖然我覺得把5%時時提醒自己是滿難學習的一門議題。
