Double Down

During commercial breaks of Manny Pacquiao's fight with Antonio Margarito on local TV, a brilliantly engaging KFC ad for its new product floods the airtime. Brilliant, because that ad sent people flocking through KFC branches, at least those that I visited. In my circle, there has been this undying hype about the KFC Double Down. Not only was the ad effective, in my opinion, chicken-meat-on-chicken-meat-with-bacon-cheese-and-mayo-in-between is nothing but intriguing.

Needless to say, Double Down has always been sold out each time I visit a KFC branch. The hype excites me as it frustrates me. A couple of days ago, I decided to give up on the quest for that elusive and intriguing Double Down. I told myself that if I ever get to try it, ever, it better give justice to my expectations. I don't want to prolong this entry as I have deviated yet again from my main goal for tonight.

Tonight, Daddy brought home a bag from KFC. Voila.

It's oily, salty, chicken-meaty. Exactly the way I expected it to be. Hands down to KFC for amazing advertising!

After everything it has put me through, it deserves a photo opportunity so that it is immortalized on this blog; something to remember it by, how it had me pulling at my hair and gnashing my teeth each time the clerk at the counter said: "Sold out na po eh."

Lucky Me!

Luck was on my side today. Last night, one of my best friends, Yanee, asked if I had anything planned for today. In fact, I did; I was supposed to do org stuff (yes, on a summer vacation day) in the afternoon, but I thought, "Hmm, lunch with one of the Chicas (IMY, Chicas) won't hurt."

So I did squeeze in that lunch date before heading to school. Turns out, I didn't have "squeeze in" anything at all because my engagements were postponed to next week! (Oh dear, that means next week will be busier than expected and planned. But, hakuna matata!)

Awesome bonding day with Yanee! Starbucks Coffee and endless chat plus yow-know-what-I-mean-smug-smug.
But, you wanna know the best part? We're both in a bad state of financial crisis. HAHA. We're peasants. Thanks to the coupons that came with my Starbucks 2010 Planner, we were able to get a great deal. It's a steal, I tell you!
Above: one venti white mocha frappe (P160), one venti mocha frappe (P150), two servings of cinnamon swirl [?] (P55 each)! All that for a grand total of... P270! Haha! We got the first venti at regular price and the one of less or equal value is on the house! In all, we spent so little, even less than a tall-sized frappe! Haha! :)
See? See? Awesome. Haha. Oops, the receipt looks battered and gross. Hahaha. Pardon our excitement. Haha!
And this is our after-birit look. Ngarag much? Hahaha. We spent P108 for 9 songs on the karaoke! Whooo, Aegis songs never fail. Total Eclipse of the Heart is another favorite. La la la. And theeen, we went window shopping for a while. Looking for the best bikini top. By best, I mean cheap (like really cheap, cos I'm a cheapskate like that haha) and okay-enough. I'm no beach bum anyway, so a P200+ bikini top (that's violet!) is A-OK. :) I have photos, but I'd rather not... Hahaha. Next time when I have a smaller tummy. Mwahaha!
