"Don't judge the burger by its cover"


It' very easy to locate this burger outlet which is the "Burger Avenue", it is barely located in Makati Avenue, Philippines. So let me share my first visit. My sister and I have had a really good heavy experience, that was like the first time I appreciate a burger, I mean a real burger with pattie for the reason of I don't really eat burgers and just Fish Fillet sandwich in McDonald's but not anymore. I don't know why I hate the taste of cheese burger maybe its not satisfying. Now back to the burger avenue's burger. When we just enter the said store there are people who are eating a burger with time limitations and I was like "Wow! That's three big patties!, I can't even eat those". So the manager did asked as if we want to try their "Ridiculous Challenge".

So obviously its a eating challenge and they call the challenge ridiculous because the burger has three big patties with stuffy tomatoes, cheese, crispy lettuce and another hot melting cheese with healthy mushrooms but you need sacrifice two-hundred pesos and if you can finish eating burger in five minutes but if not say goodbye to your two-hundred pesos. But suddenly we didn't bother to try it because it will be embarrassing to eat burger with time limitations and please if I'll try that challenge I'll surely mess up and wasted money. So my sister and I just try the burgers that on the menu which are the blue cheese burger for me and barbecue bacon burger for my sister, Auriette in addition, we ordered of course french fries which always been the side kick of the burgers and a soda. Both burgers costs ninety-nine pesos. Let's go with the serving, I was very surprised to see the burger that just wrapped with a plain white paper and I was like "is that it?", but surprisingly when I unwrapped it, Wow! it smells really good and I really like burgers that are served hot with the melting cheese and the taste was very surprisingly yummylicious or just delicious. The waiters are well uniformed and well trained. The first bite in my burger was very satisfying, yummy! is the first thing that pops in my head. That is really the first time i love a burger and then with crispy french fries I really enjoyed. Well I think the first experience in the Burger Avenue was a really satisfying experience and I know that I'll come back soon with my whole family. "Burger Avenue is a burger place to go". GOOD LUCK BURGER!

Social Networking

Social Networking is one of way of sharing information. It is an easy way of communicating and interacting from one another. Example of social networking sites are Facebook, twitter, Myspace, Tumblr, Skype, Yahoo Messenger and many other. Social networking enables people to communicate with their friends and family even in abroad even without seeing each other physically and sometimes even you don't know the people you can simply add them and get to know them better by reading their info or about me section in their public profile but still you can secure your account and choose to private it. Social Networking also obsoletes many old way of communicating like for example is the snail mail, telephone because nowadays you can use a free phone call via internet for instance is the popular social networking Skype. But because of this social networking some people are being affected because they're are reducing their communicating skills for the reason of they are becoming use to online communicating instead of real or personal communication. In the other hand, social networking has good effects such as free communication, entertaining somehow, you can learn new things you don't know. the bad effects are wasting time or becoming out of control in time management, becoming lazy, obsoletes old communicating stuff and it will also make it easier for the hackers to easily hack your account. "Socila Networking can have good or bad effects depending on how you use it".

Be fit!









Nowadays many products or beverages are being advertise more often in television commercials, billboards and radio advertisements. All of those are dealing with media because media is best communicator to the receiver. Now we have plenty of drinking product which promises to burn fat. One of the biggest brand is Del Monte Fit and Right. This product have tons of advertisement in television, radio, billboards, magazines and other media stuff. In commercials they made, you always see a model with fit and firm body and they will show the "before and after photographs" but we don't know if the product really help them or if the photo is their real body but just to clear things, I have nothing against the product in fact I love it. My concern is the media who lies just to sell. I'm not saying all of the media-men or practitioners are liars but some. I believe that media has a big impact to the viewers. back in the fit and right, I heard in the radio commercial that it will be more effective if you'll drink fit and right but you also have to do workout/exercise because the product is just helping you to burn fat but you also need work it out which I totally agree. The product has "L-carnitine which helps burn fat but with proper diet and exercise". Media is one of the most powerful messenger as the technology is improving every second. But I can tell many people are becoming discriminator, I mean not all believe in commercial that easily they become more media illiterate.

Lo, Karen Po


McDonald's famous commercial starts with a y a meal young teen girl named Karen. She is buying a meal for her and for his grandfather who always forgets her name that makes her feel she don't belong because his grandfather always call her Gina. Gina is also his lolo's granddaughter. So this scene is one of the famous scene ever; When Karen is about to eat and also his lolo, he called Karen Gina and then she response with "Lo, Karen po" then his lolo keeps saying Gina so she don't mind anymore but after that his lolo said while cutting the burger into two piece he said "This is for my favorite granddaughter, Karen". Then karen felt happier that his lolo thinks of her as a favorite "apo or granddaughter'. That commercial appeals to me because its very touching and very short but dramatic and the message is there. It's very true that we can eat with our family happily in McDonald's because I also experience eating there with my family. It effects many people like me with the same name of Karen but that's not important thing but if affects people's relationship to their grandfather or another family member and MacDonald's has been affordable and delicious as always. I also like to complement about Mcdonalds theme song every last part in their commercial, "Love ko to, such a nice song even though its too short. lastly, I really appreciate family thing commercials and this is my favorite ever since.
