McDonald's Everywhere

McDonald's Philippines
We had the first McDonald's Restaurant in our city when I was in high school. I remember just enjoying the classic sundae everyday after school. It became our hang-out place in Manila when I went to the university. A lot of conversations over their delicious fries where recorded within the walls of this homy place. This is one of  my favorite places in the world because of the ambiance. It's always clean, the photos on the wall are nice, and has fast service. I used to like their caramel sundae, but a friend influenced me to try their strawberry. I personally believe it's better than the rest of the flavors.

McDonald's has been "the meeting place." The photo above was taken when I was waiting for a friend. I was just silently reading the book Deep Unto Deep (by Dana Candler) and captured my stuff on this table. I thought it was a moment to remember.

Enjoy moments at McDonalds.

Pik-Nik Shoestring Potato

Like the tag-line in their website, anywhere, anytime... have a Pik-Nik.

I try to recall when I started to fall in-love with this potato. Pik-Nik and I started our love affair when my father brought it to my life. My dad loves to bring food to me and my sister when we were younger.

I find it better than all the other snacks combined. Pik-Nik stayed consistently delicious through the years. It has been a reliable companion. Whenever we have field trips at school, I always ask my mom for a can of Pik-Nik. It never fails to make me smile.

At times when I feel so down, the wonderful slender crispy potatoes always manage to fill my heart will delight. I hope the people behind Pik-Nik will see and read this page. I want to extend my deepest thanks to whoever created the recipe for this timeless Pik-Nik.
