Food Review : Man Vs Burger

I was at UP techno hub with friends and decided to eat lunch at Army Navy. Since this is my first time to dine at Army Navy, my friend keep on telling how good are the burgers and burrito there. I got my self a Bully boy and so as my friends.

the bully boy cost  Php 250/each, and to my surprise it's a titan from all the burgers,the BigMac and the Quarter pounder combined , would not stand a chance to the size of the Bully boy. It has three thick beef patties and you have the option of adding up additional toppings such as cheese and bacon.

I could barely grasp the bully boy with my hand, The beef patties are  rich  in flavor and  juicy. How would you attack and eat a burger with this size? my mouth is not big enough to be able to bite it!

I was able to finish 3/4 of the burger, and the last 1/4 , had difficulty in finishing it.

My friend enjoyed it very much and ordered another bully boy. and to my surprise was able to finish 3/4 of the second burger before saying he had enough.

After trying the Bully Boy, I said to myself that I will not have any other burger.

Toys...

Christmas season is just around the corner, so it's time to shop for Christmas gifts? I was at SM MOA the other day to scout for toys for gifts to my nephews. I tried visiting toy kingdom and to my surprise they have huge discounts....

    Optimus Prime and The Iron Man, guard the main entrance of Toy Kingdom

They even have radio controlled airplanes and helicopters that has a built in camera and can record videos and pictures while on air.

   
I was amazed how toys for kids now are getting more sophisticated, When I was growing up, the only hit back then was the Nintendo family computer. For the girls, they are in for a surprise,the  Barbie collection offers up to 30% off on selected item.  

The all time favorite Lego

Try visiting Toy Kingdom  and  feel how to be a kid  again....

Coco life agent modus -operandi.. please read, don't get scammed..

I was at MOA at around 7 pm when a lady approached me and ask me if I already have a credit card , I thought she is going to offer me one, and I said yes. Then she followed up , and asked if it is a Master card or Visa, said both. Then gave me a coupon ,that I have a life insurance from coco life amounting to 20k. I was really not interested but trying to be polite, and asked me to fill up the form. She told me if I could spare some 30 minutes,said that she is not selling anything or try to offer me something.just for me to know what is COCO life. And she even said that I will be qualified for raffle for a free trip to Hongkong. I'm really not interested but the agent said that she really needed points for referral. I asked if there is nothing to offer me or ask me to buy something. She said yes, just a promo for the company. As hesitant as  I 'am, agreed to go to their office. It's just at the side from our office where I work so I said it's ok. On our way she asked me if I have an ATM ,  she said that it's one of the requirements to be able to qualify for the free insurance. Along the way she asked me to make a balance inquiry from my ATM. And asked me to keep the balance receipt.I was led to a small, actually something like of a make- shift office. Then a lady approached me and asked me if I was briefed already by their agent. I said yes. She asked for my ATM balance inquiry receipt and looked at it and hand  it back to me. Said that they don't really care if you have a huge amount in your saving or just a small amount.

Then I was led to a back room where there are several tables with different agents talking with different prospect clients. So she asked me to fill up a form, and said to fill up something like of an essay , my plans in the next 15 years. after filling up the form ,she presented me about COCO  life and showed me a figure of it's rank in the industry. Showed that it's at top 2, Then asked me if I would be interested in savings. Asked me the amount that I have in my savings account. Then she presented me the scheme for a ten year saving scheme. Then after the ten year I would be getting a hundred thousand a year as long that I am still living.
To make the story short, I said I am interested but still have to think about it, and give the brochure, she said there are no brochures. She said that It's up to my bank for approval. Said my bank? now here is the twist? its somewhat of a trust fund in my bank? I really did not understand what it is? so I said how will I know if I am going to be approved, she said it is online.She even said that other clients even with huge amount in their card gets declined.  I thought that it is an online application, I was really curious of what is my credit score. So I agreed. Then they led me to a terminal where they are going to swipe my card and  to enter my pin. I asked if my card is going to be debited and she said yes? Huh, approval from a bank by  just swiping my debit card? what a scam. It's not being approved but trying to CON you to swipe your card and  debiting the sign up fee of Php 4,500.00

I did not agree to swipe my card and led me back to where we are doing the presentation. So she said that It's one way of knowing if the bank will approve me? I said by getting debited? she said that It will be my first quarterly payment. So another agent sat with us convincing me to swipe. And said that it's a one time offer. And that if I will come back some other time I would need a huge bank account to be approved. I really felt the PRESSURE for me to sign up and swipe my card. I got irritated and simply leave. They were asking me to stay to offer me other options. COCO life is a reputable company . But the way they get clients involves deception.

McDonalds twister fries is back again...

I'm not much of a big fan of McDonalds, however their twister fries caught my attention. It is now served at McDonalds for a limited time only. So I get the chance to sample the much awaited twister fries, to my delight, it was good and yummy. Although much smaller than before, it still has that crisp and full of flavor.

Not for those people who has a weight problem, it packs in a lot of calories. So try those Mc curls while still available. I even seen a billboard add saying " Prioritize twister fries". Just a suggestion to McDonalds, the fries should not be available to only  one size, just like the regular fries it should be in different sizes... 

the Captain...

Natatandaan nyo pa ba nuon si "The Captain" Alvin Patrimonio ay aktibo pa sa pag lalaro ng basketball? Nuon ako ay bata - bata pa, isa ako sa mga mangongopya ng mga moves ni The Captain. Sino ba ang hinde umidolo kay ''Cap'', kayo din siguro kahit hindi Purefoods fan ay napahanga nito ni Alvin. Ibang iba na talga ngayon ang PBA. Nuon panahon ng kasikatan ni Alvin, mangilan ngilan lang ang mga tinag- urian  mga FIL- AM. halos lahat ng player ay local, kung meron mang ibang lahi , ito ay mga  Import.

Si Alvin ay nakasama sa PBA hall of fame nun taong 2011, kasama din na pinangaralan ay sila Billy Ray Bates, Fredie Hubalde, Tommy Manotoc at Mariano Yenko. Dito sa Only In The Philippines, Saludo kami sayo...   

Leptospirosis panganib dulot ng baha...

Alam nyo ba ang sakit na Leptospirosis ay possibleng makuha sa pag lusong sa baha, ngayon panahon nang tag ulan. Iwasan ang paglusong sa baha, o kaya ay mag suot nang kaukulang proteksyon kung di maiiwasan, kagaya nang pagsuot ng bota. Ito ay possibleng mag dulot nang kamtaayan kung di malulunasan. Ito ay nakukuha mula sa ihi ng daga, sa pag lusong sa tubig na kontaminado ng ihi.

Ang dulot nito ay ang pag kasira ng mga organs sa katawan kagaya ng Liver at kidney. Kaya iwasan ang pag lusong sa baha. Pero kung ganito naman ang kasabay ko, di bale na ako ay lulusong...

Ano say nyo...

Remembering sec. Jessie Robredo

Bilang isang dayuhan sa Naga City, ako ay tubong Maynila , nag decide ang aking magulang na duon ako mag aral upang samahan ang aking lola, sa aking kalungkutan na malayo sa aking mga kaibigan , nakahiligan ko na mag bisikleta ng madalas.Bilang isang dayuhan,kakaunti lang ang aking mga kaibigan.Habang ako ay nag bibisikleta may nakasalubong akong lalake na nag bibisikleta din. kami lang ang asa kalsada at kami ay nag ka-tinginan mata sa mata, ako ay kanyang tinanguan at laking gulat ko at ako ay nginitian.Sabi ko sino kaya yung mamang yun,ayun pala ay si Mayor Robredo. Napag alaman ko na sya ay mahusay na politiko at napaka bait na tao, pina unlad nya ang Naga City na naging pangalawang tahanan ko...
