It's More Gay in the Philippines!

In time with the new tagline for the Philippine tourism, "It's more fun in the Philippines", I have decided  to write what has been long overdue since this event happened during the Christmas holiday...when my kid attended his first Christmas party in Jollibee. He joined the Kid's Club that's why we got an invitation so I said to myself, "Sure, why not?" We just paid P200 which I think was a good deal because it included 2 meals, fun games and of course seeing the Jollibee mascot...which is the rockstar for all kids! 
Kids and even parents go crazy each time they see Jollibee (some even force their kids to have their pic taken with Jollibee even if the kid was scared and crying...tsk tsk). 
Now I am sure you are wondering why I entitled this blog "It's more gay in the Philippines"...well because Filipinos simply love gay people...I don't have anything against them since they are really fun to be with...but they are starting to invade everything even children's parties...seeing them dance so gayish would make kid's think that is more fun being gay so I would be gay too! I was glad that my kid did not react much seeing them dance...but I did cos I had fun watching the gay duo show their moves. LOL
 
All the gay dancing was fine with me but what I can't really stand is hearing Willie Revillame songs non-stop during break time and intermissions...it really drove me crazy! Kids would even sing along and dance to songs like "ikaw na lang" and "kendeng kendeng?" (I am sure you are wondering why I know his songs because I watch Wil Time Big Time sometimes but c'mon hearing them in a children's party???) I thought I would hear songs like "Twinkle, Twinkle" or "The Wheels on the Bus" which are more educational. 
Now game time! the staff asked for bigger kids first to join the contest and the gay guy asked my kid to join since he looked like he was already 5. I said he was just 3 but he still forced him to join (I'm not even sure if he heard me or bothered hearing what I got to say). Contestants have to hold their breath for a long time and say "Merry Christmas" as long as they can...since my kid did not understand the instructions that well because he was just 3 years old...he instead sang "Merry Christmas to you" and people laughed. I hope that did not cause any damage to my kid because I know that in some kids...they get insecurities and inferiority complex because they were ridiculed or embarrassed in front of many people. 
I was guilty of laughing because my kid was just so adorable! I just made him feel that what he did made people  laugh and that was cool. He made a comeback when he attended a swimming party recently by winning the game for saying "happy birthday" the longest...woohoo! proud of you baby!
 Warning: If you are a conservative parent and very strict in raising up your kid then don't bring him to a Jollibee party.

MyHealth Clinic Takes Care of My Health

Getting sick is a real pain in the *** but to wait for a long queue in discomfort and end up with a list of expensive medicines to  buy would definitely make anyone feel more sick! I was glad I have a health card from work so that lessens my worry about the check up and laboratory expenses. I usually go to Medical City Clinic in Trinoma and Waltermart for the check-up but my experience there was not really that good especially in Waltermart, Munoz. The nurses there and attendants seem so laid back (which is a better term for being lazy) and busy chatting with each other. I waited for a long time (around 30 min.) just to have my Maxicare approved and after that I went to the nurse's station to give my papers but the girl was busy on her phone so the guy beside her placed my paper on her table and told me to wait for my name to be called. So I waited for my name to be called and it was almost an hour. I was really wondering why it would take that long just to have my blood extracted ...

All Iz Good at 7107 IMF: Day 2

After a night of EDM and hiphop music, the next day of the 7107 IMF was expected to have a different crowd. This is my chance to bump into people my age unlike Day 1 where I felt like a wannabe teeny-bopper. haha! I can't even keep up with all the non-stop dancing and drinking like I used to during my techno rave days in Malate and Makati. We got to the venue around 2:30 pm and the front area of the stage was already crammed with people. There goes my chance of getting up close with the Red Hot Chili Peppers . But I still got my hopes high...even if the chances of meeting them were really slim. So we settled in the middle part, which we called our home base cos that's were we meet when we get tired of roaming around.  Since the only bands that I was interested in watching at 7107 IMF that night were Empire of the Sun and RHCP, I ended up hanging out with some of my pals who I haven't seen for years.  Finally! Some people I can relate to...and they luckily got t...

Yehey for Yedang Korean Restaurant

My sis invited us for dinner to celebrate the birthday of her hubby and when she mentioned Yedang...I got excited because I have read a lot of good reviews about this restaurant and was even planning to eat there for my birthday if I had a bigger budget..but unfortunately I ended up buying vouchers for a Japanese resto to save up. Since I passed by that place before, we decided to go there ahead of my sis because my kid was sleeping. The guard was really nice to help us get out of the cab to the restaurant even assisting us with an umbrella. There was a small bench near the entrance for guests waiting to be assisted for their seats. I requested for a table for us so we can sit comfortably while waiting. The venue was nice even adding a Christmas tree to give that holiday feeling. The table has a nice set-up offering chopsticks and spoon (not ordinary looking spoon so there is still that Korean feel to it). They served us water with a hint of pandan which made it taste more refreshing...
