Hello Kitty and Ben10 - at McDonald's This Month!

Yea, yea, another post on McDonald's. This is practically the easiest thing to write about, as it doesn't involve much emotion or thought. My kids love McDonald's. We probably eat something from their store, at least twice a week. It is the easiest place to drive by, errr... drive thru, too, to grab a bite, as a store sits about a block away from the office (oh wait, make that two stores).

I was watching out for the next Happy Meal toy announcement on McDo's Facebook account, but then I guess they had to forego it to make way for relief posts, etc. So I was actually surprised to see that they had new Happy Meal toys at McDonald's Rockwell Ortigas, when I took RL for his Dengue NS1 test and CBC Wednesday night!

What a welcome treat to find these toys with our Happy Meal!

You got that right, folks - McDonald's Happy Meal has Hello Kitty and Ben 10 toys this month! Four toys each for your little boy or girl to collect.

The Hello Kitty Toys light up!

Light-Up Hello Kitty Toys for your little girl OR for you! LOL!

I don't really know anything about Ben 10, but RL sure was happy when he got these figures. He was letting them fly and crash all over the place.

Missing just one more from this Ben 10 series.

Catch these toys at McDonald's stores this month. Each Happy Meal comes with a toy. And a portion of each Happy Meal you buy goes to Ronald McDonald House Charities.

The Week That Was.

I hope you don't hate me by now. I've actually been contemplating shutting this blog down as I have not found time (nor the energy) to blog lately. Aside from work-related stress, Habagat's visit and RL's dengue scare, my heart is in grief over Piero's passing.

Yes, Piero passed away Sunday night last week. If you are a Facebook friend or have been following me on Twitter, then you already know his system shut down after a bad lung infection, septic shock and eventually,  organ failure. I have no words to express my lament, so I will leave you with what I left on his dad's wall:

"At a moment like this, silence seems to be the only emotion that fits. What can we, as mere men say to a grieving shattered heart? We speak today because we have a living hope. Death is no respecter of persons. Death is no respecter of youth. Death is a painful intruder and a pernicious reminder of our human condition. But I stand before you today to declare that we have a living hope and that causes us to rejoice greatly. If your hope today is found in the fact Jesus is no longer entombed... Because He lives, the grieving broken heart has hope, and reason to rejoice." (From the Movie, Courageous*)

If you haven't watched this film, I seriously encourage you to do so. Life is short, as it is also borrowed time. DO NOT WASTE IT. You are only given one chance to make things right. Some people don't even get that chance. Don't miss the boat.

Piero, I imagine you are having a swell time running on Streets of Gold, exploring Huge Mansions, dining with the King of Kings, and listening to stories while sitting on the Father's lap. Give Him a hug for me.

Fly high, Piero. Fly high.


*Collector's Edition Courageous DVDs are available at House of Praise Stores. 

Catch It While It's Here!

It's back! And only for the next three weeks!

Don't miss out on McDonald's TWISTER FRIES! Here for a limited time only (3 weeks, to be exact). So forget that diet and head on out to the nearest McDonald's store and get yourself some Twister Fries.

C'mon, you KNOW you want some.

Excuse the Absence...
