When I attended the 2013 Blogapalooza, I got a lot of freebies! One of them was my very own Enjoy Philippines membership card. I’ve known about this red card since it first came to the Philippines a couple of years back but I never really tried it out ’til I got my own one for free.

This red card offers members discounts from 10% to 50% off in participating establishments in the country from dining, health and fitness, beauty to automotives, nightlife, shopping and living and learning! I’ve been checking out their website for a list of participating establishments and there’s a lot of them! Here are just some of those that I’m personally interested to use my Enjoy card on:

Summit Media – I love magazines from this publisher. I always buy Cosmopolitan every month (it was Candy before when I was a teen) and I occasionally buy and read Preview, Good Housekeeping and Women’s Health. By using my Enjoy card, I get 15% off on a 6-month subscription, 10% off on a 3 month subscription, 20% off on a one year subscription and 25% off for a 2 year subscription!

Fully Booked – I love reading books and I love checking out books at this establishment especially their Fort branch. With my Enjoy card, I get 10% off on cash purchases and 5% off on credit card purchases.

Western Digital Concept Store – Perfect for me because I need to get a new external hard drive to back up my work files! And with Enjoy, I get 5% cash and card transactions on regular items! 

Oh and of course there’s Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf which I frequently go to with Ryan! I just love their English Breakfast Tea Latte! It’s my comfort drink. And I love their Ice Blended White Chocolate Dream too. And with my Enjoy card, I get a free upsize of my coffee drink! 

And actually, this is where my interesting story with Enjoy card comes in. One Wednesday night a couple of weeks back, I met my best friend, Ryan for coffee after work in Glorietta. Ryan and I love meeting up for coffee and we both love CBTL. Anyhow, as I was paying for my Red Velvet hot drink which I had upsized to large, a guy came up to me.
He was tall and moreno with short dark hair and he just came from the gym (I’m assuming Gold’s Gym) as I could tell by his clothes – white jersey shorts, a gym bag slung on his shoulder and a black fitted tank top that showed off his ripped arms. Oh yes, I got all that in a matter of seconds! 
Hot guy alert! I temporarily lost my ability to talk as I waited in excited anticipation what he wanted to talk to me about. I don’t know if my mouth gaped open staring at the hot guy standing right in front of me that time (Gosh I hope not!) but I was totally flustered. When he asked me how I got my Enjoy Philippines card, I do believe I stuttered a little bit as I answered his question. He asked where he could get one too and if it was for free which I was able to answer, yes, but in a stoic manner. 

After the conversation, I told Ryan about it and he confirmed what I thought I should’ve done at that moment when Mr. Gym Hottie who conversed with me in English btw (I love Filipino guys who can speak the language in a grammatically correct manner!). What I should’ve done was flirt a little bit and at the very least smile at him. He wanted the Enjoy card too because he wanted to get a free drink upsize at Coffee Bean and if I wasn’t caught off guard and had I quickly recovered from my state of shock at the dreamboat that was talking to me, I would’ve offered him my Enjoy card like so:
Mr. Hottie: Dude, we should totally get one of those Enjoy cards! It’s free drink upsize everytime here at Coffee Bean! 
In my fantasy, what I said was: 
Me: Turning to him and his friends, “Here, you can use my Enjoy card for that free upsize” as I hand him my card and flash him a flirty smile. 
In reality though, when Mr. Hottie said that to his friends, I hastily took my change and my card and walked hurriedly towards where Ryan was, letting my chance pass by. Moral lesson of the story:  Embrace courage! Oh and never leave home without makeup on and/or with messy hair especially when you’re going out after work to go to the mall because looking pretty helps in mustering up that courage too!
