H: “Okay sa’n mo gusto mag-breakfast?”
Me: “McDonald’s! Yum!”
Vroom vroom. Dating sa McDo drive-thru.
Me: “Hon, may mga Mega meals sila o! Parang masarap!”
H: “Alin dito kukunin natin?”
Me: “Mega C nalang! Mas marami. Tapos tingnan mo yun franks. Yum! Kakagutom. Game game, excited na ako.”
Order. Giddy dahil super craving for those franks. Bayad. Vroom vroom to claim the meals. Punta sa bahay. Park. Takbo sa mesa. Buksan ang styro dahil sobrang gutom.
Hikbi.
Hikbi ng dalawang beses.
Size does matter.
Needless to say, nakakabitin ng over ang almusal namin. Sana nag-Jollibee nalang kami.
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

liza
January 30, 2006 at 9:03 pm (18 years ago)i know that feeling. super excited ka kainin yung food kasi ganda niya sa pix. bigla pagdating sa iyo, ngek! ang layo! hahaha! kaya nga daw may food stylist di ba pag nag-photo shoot ng food. para ma-engganyo ko to buy & hope na katulad na katulad nun ang food. hihihi!

January 30, 2006 at 11:21 pm (18 years ago)hay sis…ang mga ads nila exagg pero pag nakuha mo na yung meal…iba na itsura.
side kwento: one time, I ordered sa chowking…sabi ko dun sa casher na nagbigay nun food na order ko…”miss baket magka iba yung beef noodles ko sa pic (pointing sa ad nila) malaki yung slices ng beef at ang dami pa dito sa akin ang liit at 3 pcs lang….he he he. wala lang nang asara lang sa kanila, he he he.
mare
January 31, 2006 at 12:24 am (18 years ago)Hahaha, possibly the franks shrank during your drive home?! What a rip-off!
Dr E
January 31, 2006 at 2:08 am (18 years ago)Mukhang sunog pa yung longganisa. Truth in advertising does NOT work here. It only works in paper.
denden
January 31, 2006 at 6:49 am (18 years ago)hahaha. kaaliw.
barbara
January 31, 2006 at 10:27 am (18 years ago)the franks.. seriously doesn’t look like it – it looks super dry too.
but.. nakakagutom parin!
barbara
January 31, 2006 at 10:29 am (18 years ago)ps… what happend to the maple syrup and butter on the mini pancake?
tin
January 31, 2006 at 11:43 am (18 years ago)that’s sad toni. hilig talaga natin mag exagg sa mga ads no?
Meeyagirl
January 31, 2006 at 11:43 am (18 years ago)i have the opposite experience naman dito. dito, parang ang liit ng food sa pic, pero once the order arrives, pwede pala magpakain ng buong barangay 😛 in a way, parang mirror siya ng societies na kinabibilangan natin no? sa pinas, pinalalaki nila expectations natin kaya pagdating ng totoo, we end up feeling shortchanged. dito naman, the real thing is made to overwhelm so we end up with greater expectations that generate (oftentimes, false) pride. unless ma-address ang mga incongruencies na ito, i don’t know how society in general will positively benefit. naks, nang dahil lang sa longganisa namilosopo na, haha. 😀 penge na lang niyan, pwede na rin yan laman tiyan

January 31, 2006 at 2:13 pm (18 years ago)love ko to?

liza : naisip ko nga after ng experience na ‘to, “to think i work in advertising at naniwala talaga ako!” hayyy. well first and foremost, i’m a consumer before i’m an advertiser naman hehe.
jeanny : hehehe sana naman walang nangyari sa food mo!
mare : oh yeah i didn’t factr in the shrinking time. hehehe.
Dr E: sad but true.
denden : kakaaliw na nakakalungkot!
barbara : they were kinda dry nga! and i don’t know where the syrup and butter was!
tin : oo nga eh, at hindi naman ako natuto!
Meeyagirl : tama ka diyan, basta nakakakain, ok na yan!
Junnie : hehehe hanggang mcchicken ko nalang sila mamahalin.
batjay : parehas kayo ng asawa ko, favorite ang jollibee longganisa meal!
