E's 10th Birthday Celeb

The final piece of the puzzle, the final part of E's birthday series - the actual celebration.  I've mentioned in a previous post that I was sick when my son celebrated his 10th, so I wasn't able to rally everyone in our household and made them do what they had to do or what I want them to do (yes, I am an accomplished bully *lol*), so take-outs and people who care became our saving grace.

KFC Christmas Bucket Meal

I have been very vocal with my love and uncommon bias to KFC, but now more than the yummy food offerings and their slurp-worthy signature gravy that I had grown up to, the fast food chain is making an effort to help the victims of Yolanda by donating 5 pesos with every purchase of an 8-piece Christmas Bucket Meal, I say go KFC! What more can you ask for, you'll get to feast on their original and/or hot and crispy chicken, 4 regular fixins, steamed rice and drinks plus an 8" moist chocolate cake, and you'll be able to help to feed the hungry survivors of super typhoon Yolanda, unless of course, I can persuade them to drop their prices a bit lower *tongue out*.

We have the privilege to celebrate and enjoy the holidays but in our own little way, may we learn to share the blessings that we have to those who need it most.

I'm not in any way related to KFC nor am I paid to write this post, I'm just a big fan, but if they'll tap me (someday) to do so, I'll welcome them with open arms *lol*.

KFC Streetwise Bucket Meal

KFC Streetwise Bucket Meal cost a peso less than 400, it has 6 pieces fried chicken (you can opt for the original recipe or hot and crispy or mix), 3 side dishes (ours were coleslaw, mashed potato, crispy fries), 3 glasses of soda, 3 servings of rice and two cups of their famous and ever-delectable gravy.  We also had an order of bucket of fries and extra rice, you know, for mah boys *grins*.

Father and son fetched me from work and treat me to a last before-classes-starts dinner date.

Though I have more to say Kuya Errol is bugging me to no end so I have to be done whether I like it or not, so, tata, till next time :)

KFC Break

Obvious naman po siguro na late post din ito, I think, the 2nd photo (KFC BBQ Rods) is not on the menu anymore *grins*.

Anyways, husband and I had these when we attended the anti-bullying seminar in our son's school, hmm, a year or so ago, hur! Sabi ko sa inyo super late post din ito eh :)

KFC Snack Box

KFC Tower Burger

I had been craving for KFC's Tower Burger since I saw the TV commercial, unfortunately, chickenpox conquered me before I was able to conquer my cravings *pout*. Everything was just tasteless the first two weeks that I had been sick so the moment my taste buds regained its ability to taste food, I basically beg my brother to go to the nearest KFC branch and buy me one.

my KFC Tower Burger

Ala carte cost 110php and it hiked up to 140php with drinks and regular fries (my choice). Remember the commercial, the different ways you can eat the tower burger? I ate mine semi-princess style, I had to cut it in quarters before I devoured it. A good buy if you'll ask me but I still prefer my all-time favorite - the Zinger!

Heads Up!

My son's classes started last Tuesday, June 14, and since then, I am a walking, talking zombie, I lack sleep for all the wrong reasons while I tried to be a doting mama to my boy. My son's in second grade already but as I transferred him to a new and nearer school, he's like starting anew, new school equals new environment, new set of friends, new teachers, new rules, new everything and he's learning his way one step at a time, I plan on backing him up until he can stand on his own feet again, it may take weeks to a month so regular updates on this blog and the others will likely be non-existent. I may have the chance to sneak in a post or two along the way but I'm not making a promise, I tend to break promises, as you may know *lol*. Anyway, I just wanna let everyone know.

Okay, about my recently-acquired habit/vice of posting pic and leaving a note saying I'll edit it in a later date, I'm really sorry about that, I wasn't really planning on running away on my responsibilities as a blogger, I really thought I can forced everything to work out but somewhere along the way, with unfinished posts and all, I realized I'm attempting the impossible. I'm really sorry for doing things half-baked *sigh*, but I really wish it's possible. Anyway, in case, I have the itch to post but I had to go in the middle of working on it, I do hope, you'll extend your patience and bear with me for a little while. But, I promise to try my best not do that anymore.

Me, living my life without a digital camera... it's suffocating and super boring. I really wish I am a billionaire so I can just snap a finger and everything I need and want will be delivered right at my feet *sigh*, that would be the life.

KFC's Kung Pao Supreme Rice Bowl and a Bucket of Fries

Just a quick post, I'll edit this later, I have to get going while the sun is still up maya-maya uulan na naman, have to complete my son's school supplies list before school starts on Tuesday. Later, okay!

Hays, finally, I got the chance to edit, sorry for a week's delay. My son started school last Tuesday, he's in grade 2 but because we transferred school, he's still learning his way around the new school and slowly adapting to his new environment. He left his school friends and have to find a set of new ones and as I don't wanna put that much pressure on him, I'm backing him up in every step. No, I don't hang out in the school premises or around it, I don't know, I just lack the time to update my blogs. Pud Blag ni Ako is lucky pa nga kasi I get to post once in a while, my other blogs are left to accumulate dust and cobwebs *sigh*. In due time...

Anyway, my son's new school is littered with fast food chains - Jollibee, KFC, Chowking, Dunkin' Donuts, Mr. Donuts, a tricycle-ride away is McDonalds and a few steps away is a community mall which houses a few more eating establishments. So, the several times I went to process his transfer papers and enrollment stuff, I end up eating in a few of the establishments - and one of those is KFC.

I tried their Supreme Rice Bowl - Kung Pao, it has two chicken fillets, corn and drizzled with Kung Pao spicy Chinese sauce atop a bowl of rice, it costs 100pesos with a regular-sized drink. For 100, it is a practical choice and I can guarantee that it is filling, one tip though, if you're the type who eats lunch or dinner with an extra serving of rice, I advice you to order that extra rice instantly, and mix it in, as the rice included in the meal won't satisfy you *grins*. The sauce was too salty for my taste but aside from that, I'll give it a star.

NBA Fully Loaded Meal

Another late post, this time for Ruby Tuesday, it's my first time joining and I'm already late, just the right move to create a lasting good impression *sarcasm intended*.

I went to my son's new school, yup, we did transfer, to enroll but I stupidly left his class card home so I wasn't able to, it's a good thing that his new school's enrollment system is so organized, he was tagged as temporarily enrolled though I haven't really paid for it. I'm loving the institution already, hahaha. Anyway, my son asked me to bring some KFC goodies home, actually, he wanted the Ben10 bucket meal but it's not available in the Malabon branch so I just opted for their NBA Fully Loaded Meal.

NBA Fully Loaded Meal is your usual fully loaded meal with a piece of chicken (original or hot and crispy), gravy, a fixin/side dish (usually mashed potato), mushroom soup, a serving of rice, a piece of brownie and a drink (Coca-Cola, yup, they don't serve Pepsi products anymore, sad right, I want my Mt. Dew and 7-Up!). The only difference is, with the NBA FLM, you get an NBA tumbler- filled drink instead of the regular one for 155 pesos.

And as usual, KFC doesn't disappoint :D
