I SHALL NOT EAT INSIDE MCDONALDS SUCAT PARANAQUE

Image
Dear Mr. CEO of Mcdonalds (SYMBOL: MCD) Aside from the shrinking serving and very poor service that most of your franchises here have. I have to tell you that Your Sucat, Paranaque Branch suck. Below is the picture of a mosquito infested, poorly interior decorated and oh so messy stinky and very old bathroom, plus the unwashed curtain from pre school days makes this branch of Mcdonalds a sequel of the Twighlight zone. The part that bugged me so much is the Lola Decorations of THAT PLATE in THE WALL. It is old and dead, with over cooked spaghetti even. I just want to put this in your attention as I believe that one experience can kill everybody's Mcdonalds experience.

The trek back to THE VARSITARIAN and some snippets of the filipino culture

Any thomasian know The Varsitarian, I think it's the oldest org paper in the Philippines. What struck me in the front pages though is VATICAN CONFIRMS DELA ROSA UST’s 95th rector to be installed June 10 Funny because I didn't know that aside from The Pope, The Saints and all, The Vatican has a say to U.S.T`s rector. I miss Santo Tomas, the smell of grass in the morning field, the adrenaline in the gym, The Ala Starbucks in P noval and that string of joints in the parameters of that heart of espana. Almers, Cocoys, Ryan J gym, Goldilocks, Pizzahut, Lopez, and that fried chicken place which I forgot. I left Santo Tomas NOT in a heart beat. I had to go through widthrawals because I had an addiction to football at that time. I smell the grass, I drop my bags and drop my course and play. We always had a saying, "Sagabal ang Pag aaral sa Football". How I regret it now. I didnt know anything then so.. The Varsitarian was the first paper I have ever seen my name on. Hahahaha...
