New McDelivery Commercial

Lookie, lookie. McDonald's just released two commercials for their McDelivery.

We tried their service once last year and we have mixed feelings about it. For one, it took a while for them to respond to our order inquiry, that is just to confirm our order and a lot longer waiting time before the order arrived. Looks like our area is assigned to a different store (Katipunan branch) even though we are literally only 10 minutes away from their Eastwood branch.

It's not all bad though. Our order was still warm when we received it (which was quite a surprise) and we were billed exactly as we expected so it's all good I suppose.

With the new interface, I hope they have already shortened the delivery time and assign their delivery areas efficiently. If you frequently order online, McDelivery now offers a registration in their website where you can save you address details for future orders.

Google Today: Constantin Brâncuşi

Constantin Brâncuşi (Romanian pronunciation: [konstanˈtin brɨnˈkuʃʲ]; February 19, 1876 – March 16, 1957) was a Romanian-born sculptor who made his career in France. As a child he displayed an aptitude for carving wooden farm tools. Formal studies took him first to Bucharest, then to Munich, then to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His abstract style emphasizes clean geometrical lines that balance forms inherent in his materials with the symbolic allusions of representational art. Famous Brâncuşi works include the Sleeping Muse (1908), The Kiss (1908), Prometheus (1911), Mademoiselle Pogany (1913), The Newborn (1915), Bird in Space (1919) and The Column of the Infinite (Coloana infinitului), popularly known as The Endless Column (1938). Brâncuşi is considered a pioneer of modernism.

If Constantin Brancusi is still living, he's 135 years old today.

UP Fair 2011

It feels like it's quieter than it used to.

Well, it's to be expected since Wednesday's theme is about the 70s Martial Law Revolution. We didn't go inside the event place since we have U-chan with us but we stayed for a while to listen to nationalistic music. 

There are still 3 days left. Don't miss this annual event to listen to good music, yummy foods and experiencing nature all in one night. Or all three nights if you plan to attend all remaining days. Our favorite band Urbandub will be playing on Saturday but DK have work scheduled by then. It's disappointing that we're going to miss their gig, again. If you don't have anything else planned on Saturday, I suggest you visit UP Fair 2011 in UP-Diliman Sunken Garden and watch and listen to Urbandub and other local acts play. 

Scared of the Black Mama?

The name alone send tingles to my spine. Who is this Black Mama? Why should I be shared? If you don't know who he is yet, then you should be scared. He's one of the fiercest basketball player in NBA history. Get out of his way or he'll eat you alive for this passionate player will not wait for you. He's got power and strategy.

The Black Mamba is Kobe Bryant.

Starring Kobe Byant, Kanye West, Danny Trejo and Bruce Willis. Directed by Robert Rodriguez.

The film will be officially launched on Saturday, February 19th, 6pm at the Ronac ART Center, Ortigas Avenue, Greenhills, San Juan. Gates open at 4:00 p.m.

I am thankful...

• for the blessing we received last year especially when DK's company decided to hired him permanently after almost 4 years of being under sub-contract;
• for celebrating our daughter's 2nd birthday;
• for celebrating our 8th year anniversary as a couple;
• for celebrating our 2nd anniversary of our marriage live;
• for Lexi, our new camera, an anniversary gift from DK;
• for the extra income I received online;
• for being healthy, both body and soul.

There are so many things I have to be thankful for.Not just for the monetary and material blessings we received but also for the small things. I may not vocalize it as much as I should but in my heart and in my mind, there is always a silent thanks for every blessing we received. 

I am also thankful this year that I met cool people from the internet. I met bloggers who also shared the same passion as I have, that is being a mom. One reason why I am writing this is because one generous mom loves to blog and she's successful in what she is doing that she's sharing it with other moms who aspire to be like her. Thank you Mommy Rubz.
