A Big Win for Manny Pacquiao

Photo Credits

 Congratulations Pacquiao!

The results:
Glen Trowbridge   118-110
Michael Pernick    116-112
Craig Metcalf        116-112

This is a unanimous decision by the judges. Bawi bawi lang ba pag may time?  Remember the controversial decision in their 2012 fight? Peklat yun mga mommies. A lot of opinions were raised that time regarding who  the real winner was.

I am not a boxing expert and I am not here to discuss the moves that made him won the battle. I don't even understand how the judges came up with the stats.I am here to express how happy I am that he gets to prove himself this time. I am not really a fan, but hey, the guy is a Filipino. Any Filipino that gives fame to our country, I love, love, love!

But this is definitely a big win for him and another honor for the Philippines. Yun nga lang, his wife requested for him to retire already and make this his last fight. As a wife, I feel for Jinky. She needs more of his presence than the material rewards that he gets from winning.

Again, hurray for you Pacman! Double hurray if you put your family first already this time. God bless!

The Graduation Day!

Finally! Wyeth is now an official graduate of McDonald's Kiddie Crew 2014.  I know, I promised you guys regarding updates for the next four days of their workshop. Well here they are, more on photo blog guys:

Day 2 (Tuesday): 

Painting and decorating their aprons

His design :)))

Serving at the counter

Saying hi to the Ates and Kuyas

Their favorite activity: merienda time

Day 3 (Wednesday):  Well , since day 3 is a holiday, it was me and hubby who accompanied him to his workshop.  Uhm, I was not able to take a lot of pictures coz most of the time they were inside the kitchen, kasi a birthday party was being held outside.  When it was time to serve at the counter, hubby decided to buy at Wyeth's counter and took his video, which, unfortunately I can't seem to upload from his itouch.  Funny, Wyeth seemed naiilang sa amin. But when he saw his Papa ordering a happy meal, biglang naging ganado sa buhay ang bata.

According to Wyeth, they practiced their graduation stint inside the kitchen, they also ate their merienda inside which was a 1 pc. chicken meal. And so far, the kid's still enjoying the "job".

 

Day 4 (Thursday):

With his new found friend

Making his burger which he gets to eat too.

Trying to memorize the song for their graduation day

Day 5 (Graduation Day):

Waiting for the awarding of the certificate

Putting the buttons

Getting ready for their grand performance

Ronald Mcdonald is missing in action. Buti  na lang nanjan ang kanyang violet friend, si Barney, este Grimace pala.

Overall, the workshop was great, seeing Wyeth enjoying the experience with other kids. Though if asked if he is going to repeat the workshop, his answer is a  "no".  Nakakapagod daw mag serve sa counter, he went back to becoming a soldier again when he grows up daw. Owss? 

May tanong nga pala siya, ano daw ba si Grimace? Di ko masagot e. Baka alam niyo anong creature si Grimace? Di ko naman pin-roblema ito nung bata ako. Hahaha!

There was only one thing that confused me, their website said that a P500 worth of GC is going to be given on the graduation day and that there will a raffle draw. But according to the yaya, wala daw binigay at walang raffle draw. I let it go na lang, sa dami naman ng nakain ng anak ko at "to the highest level" naman ang pagka enjoy niya, sulit na rin yun.

So there, at least he gets to experience it. So far, so good, nagkakaroon na ng saysay ang summer vacation ni bagets. Next stop: swimming lessons. We enrolled him last week sa Milo swimming clinic sa Marikina Sports Center. I will feature that on one of the succeeding posts. Abangan!

My Favorite Kiddie Crew

                                      With Ate Raizza and my fave kiddie crew

It was through mommypracticality's post that I was able to read the different summer activities that our kids may try this vacation.  I had a lot to choose from, taekwondo, swimming, singing, acting workshop, football, culinary, arts, dancing but the number one activity that caught my attention was Mcdonald's kiddie crew. Why? Because when I was still in college, it was my dream to be  working at Mcdo as one of their crew. Ang babaw no? Gustong gusto ko talaga maging working student para I have my own money to spend and not depend on my allowance lang, but my parents did not allow me to, kasi they can provide for me  daw (which in fairness, totoo naman). Peg ko talaga mag work sa kanila kasi parang ang gagaling nila with time management and ang people skills nila, winner.

My husband, then boyfriend, used to eat at Mcdonald's a lot and notice that every summertime, a lot of kids were working with them. They were so cute in their uniforms, imitating what the older crew is doing, that we agreed that when we will have a kid of our own, we will enroll our kid in their workshop.

Fast forward to present, reading that post reminded me of what I wanted for my kid to experience. Last Monday, after work, Hubby and I went to McDonald's SM Masinag and enrolled Wyeth for the Batch 3 Kiddie Crew Workshop. The Batch 3 schedule will run for 5 days, from April 7 to 11, with the last day as their graduation day.

We paid P595 pesos with the following inclusions, 1 pc. t-shirt, 1 pc. toque hat, 1 pc. apron, 1 pc. red baseball cap, 1 pc. sling bag, button pins, everyday snacks and P500 worth of GC to be given during the graduation day.  So, parang we did not pay P595, dahil sa mga freebies and GC pa lang, sulit na sulit na e.

Yesterday was Wyeth's first day. We were not able to accompany him, so we let his Yaya and Tita accompany him to Mcdonald's for his 2 pm to 4 pm shift.  Nag bilin ako to take a lot of photos for us to see when we get home. Kakatuwa to see Wyeth in uniform and from the look on his face, mukhang nag enjoy ang batang makulit sa 1st day niya.

I am happy that Wyeth enjoyed the 1st day of this workshop.  At least he is being productive during his vacation with the chance of meeting new friends and not just watching tv throughout the day.

I will try to update you if possible, of what they will be doing for the next 4 days.  Good thing that Wednesday is a holiday, we will get to observe him that day. For those who got interested, their workshop will run until May I think.  Just try to inquire with the branch nearest you, coz they might be among the participating branches for the 2014 McDonald's Kiddie Crew.

The Morning Rush 2014 Grand EB

o

I have always been a fan of chico and delamar, way back 4th year college. I forgot how I came to be a regular follower of RX but I remember that this is one of our common grounds of my husband, then boyfriend. I really am a music lover, just don't ask if the music loves me though. Palipat lipat ako ng station kasi mga fave songs ang hinahanap ko on air.  So I really had no particular  station back then.

When I started working and I was still commuting, I always bring with me a small radio, parang  mp3 player pero radio siya.  So while waiting for the shuttle Van to arrive, mahaba ang pila, I kept myself entertained by listening to RX. Gaganda kasi ng choice of songs nila. Then I got to notice the two DJs na kasi they kept on bickering and teasing one another.
