I just wanted to post this cute song regarding a Crocodile. And I am dedicating this to one of the worst crocodiles i know...yeah, you know who you are..... The song was sang by Mary Louise in episode 114 of the Muppet Show. Again, I do not own this song. Later on I'll try to get an mp3 of this so everyone can enjoy listening to this, and who knows maybe you can identify your "crocodiles" within your own turf.
Never Smile At A Crocodile
Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile
Don't be taken in by his welcome grin
He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin
Never smile at a crocodile
Never dip your hat and stop to talk awhile
Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day
Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile
You may very well be well bred
Lots ot etiquette in your head
But there's always some special case, time or place
To forget etiquette
For instance:
Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile
Don't be taken in by his welcome grin
He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin
Never smile at a crocodile
Never dip your hat and stop to talk awhile
Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day
Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile

The Return of Twister Fries
After the upset with Jollibee I had yesterday, today brings in a new and wonderful surprise.
I went to McDonald's Eastwood Mall today, and guess what? The oh so yummy twister fries are back!!
I didn't notice it at first but after I ordered the cashier asked me if I would like to add some Twister fries with my meal.
My expression was like WHAT!!! I didn't know it's back!! Wow, after waiting a year to have that available again , I got my wish.
McDo will certainly be seeing more of me because of this.....

Gravy Anyone?
I know that am over-reacting on this one. Can't believe that I wrote a blog about it as well.
Have you ever gone to a restaurant / fast food joint and ordered for steak in their menu?
Have you ever asked for more gravy / sauce when the gravy on your steak isn't enough? Or when the gravy boat (or container or whatever it's called) doesn't have that much gravy in it?
Have you been charged for that requested gravy?
That happened to me yesterday @ Jollibee. I was soo surprised that they are charging extra for their mushroom gravy.
In the rare occasions that I eat in Jollibee, I usually order their burger mushroom steak. It's actually the only thing I can eat there aside from the Jolly Hotdog and fries. Anyways, the steak is usually lathered with generous mushroom sauce / gravy.
Unfortunately yesterday, I ordered a 2-piece of that and what I got was a dried up pair of mushroom steaks. So I asked the cashier / counter girl to lather a bit more gravy on my order since there's hardly any gravy at all. And then she told me, that she cannot do that...I have to pay for extra gravy...........
And so, I was like WTH!!! How can you charge me for extra gravy when someone in your kitchen didn't put enough in my order!! -- Of course I didn't say that out loud for fear of making a scene for some silly gravy dispute. And I didn't call the manager because I felt really embarrassed because, it really is just about gravy... and people might think I couldn't pay the extra charge.
Sure they were charging me a measly 10pesos for their mushroom gravy, what is 10pesos right? But the principle of the thing is, they were charging me something with what should have been complimentary in their menu!!! I mean, gravy is just like ketchup, salt, or pepper...it's supposed to be FREE!!
I could understand if it were a fine dining restaurant, where they could have put in some extra special ingredients to their sauce...but still in all my jaunts in fancy restaurants they don't even charge me anything for the number of times I've asked the waiter to refill my gravy boat.
BUT, hey, this is just Jollibee. Their gravy isn't even at par with the quality of KFC's gravy...and KFC, fyi people, do not charge their dine-in customers for their delicious gravy.
It just seems to me that the Jollibee corporation has become sooo greedy that they even stooped so low as to charge their customers for these supposed complimentary items. It seems that they cannot sustain their food industry without going after their customers' pocket change.
Oh well, am truly disappointed with this. It would be a long time before I give in to my craving of burger mushroom steaks in their restaurant, hopefully never.

Laxius Force
I'm recently into this RPG game. It reminds me of my college PSOne days. Everything is just 2-D...and I love it!!.............So nostalgic of the times when everything was just about the storyline, the plot...and not just about the graphics.
Am just in Chapter 1... I know, kinda pathetic...but old age is my excuse.... :)
Plus the fact that I have a job now and all my carefree days are now over.... :)
Will try to find time to finish this game.

Tears to Tiara (episode June 22)
Ugh, I completely missed watching my favorite program in Animax.
I was so pumped to watch Tears to Tiara (TTT) especially after watching Octavia and Lidia fight in the previous episode.
I am waiting for an Arthur x Octavia pairing *cross-fingers* and I sure hope I can watch the replay later tonight......but that in itself seems impossible.
It was the classic tale, either watch this anime on the idiot box or help my hubby with a competition he's preparing for. So I took the high road, and have foregone my selfish desire to watch TTT. I helped hubby with his presentation, to which he graciously called me today, and informed me that the outcome was great. His panel was genuinely impressed with his performance in that round of the competition. Great isn't it?
But I still have this nagging feeling that something really cool happened in this morning's episode.....
I really hate to read the spoilers in some forums, so I opt to wait for the encore telecast this evening...if I can catch it. Thing is I need to literally fly home to get to my house from work. Now am just whining... I'm so addicted... :)
I still have some 4 hours left at work before I can sprint to a shuttle and get home. Hope the traffic won't be so bad.........
Anyways, am staying positive that i can watch this episode tonight.
Time to end the non-sensical rambling and get back to work :)

Lipton Milk Tea
This is just a spoof of the poem by Joyce Kilmer (Trees). Just to describe my love of Lipton's new product, Milk Tea.
Lipton Milk Tea
I think that I shall never see
A drink as wonderful as milk tea
Milk tea that comes from a cup
that serves as this girl's warm hug
Milk tea I thank God all day,
that you're here free-flowing everyday (and i do mean FREE)
Milk tea that's warm and light brown in color
makes me sigh in your tasty splendor
Upon now, whose warm liquid lays
in my parched mouth as always
One cup of milk tea is all it takes
to make me last throughout the day.
Poems such as these are made by fools like me,
but only Lipton can make such great Milk Tea.
(END)

TOTO'S LECHON
In search of a cheap place to eat without sacrificing quality and taste, this Wednesday, I found myself insde Toto's Lechon.
Located at the 3rd Floor of Cyberone building, I was amazed by how cheap the prices were. I was skeptical, food this cheap must not taste very good. There must be a catch somewhere, I was proven wrong.
I ordered the fried porkchop with free soup...and apparently free vegetable side dish. It was great, and it cost me only 88 pesos!!
Said order was soo delicious, I couldn't believe it. They also have a wide range of vegetable side dish selections. Gravy was good too, they have 2 choices. They gave me the darker one, I think it was for the lechon. But it tasted great with the porkchop. The meat was sooo tender and not an ounce of fat....just the way I like it :)
The next day, curious to see if I would be satisfied again by their dishes (aside from the fact that I'm broke, pay day isn't until Friday). I ordered the 1pc fried chicken with free soup and iced tea. It costs only 64 pesos (take that Jollibee and McDo!!! ). I felt I was eating Chickenjoy (TM of Jollibee) without the over-inflated price. Food was great again, customer service was good. My taste buds were thrilled, I definitely enjoyed eating there.
Today, Friday, while waiting for the salary to come in, I had brunch again at Toto's. Determined to find a fluke in the said eatery, I ordered the chicken strips. As we all know, people who love to eat chicken strips may encounter a crispy outside, gooey inside chicken (example KFC). In other words, chicken strips can be really cooked on the outside but half-cooked on the inside. I was expecting that from Toto's, and yet again I was proven wrong. Their chicken strips were fantastic!!! It was really cooked evenly. And it cost me only 69 pesos for the chicken strips, soup and side dish plus 19 pesos for the iced tea. Overall price of 88 pesos.
Basically I was able to live through the week, thanks to my jaunts in Toto's. Eating a full meal at less than 100 pesos a day is an achievement, especially if you work in Eastwood, Libis. I mean, Eastwood has lots of food choices but most are really expensive and sometimes the less-expensive ones sacrifice quality, customer service or cleanliness of the dish / diner itself.
Suffice to say I am very satisfied with my dining experience in Toto's. I wouldn't mind going back there even after pay is credited :)
