Brother's Burger: 50% Off! 50% Quality!

On November 27, I found a reason to to forget my deprivation of good food. As introduced to me by my new officemate, Half-pound burgers that were normally priced at P175 are on 50% off! So it is P87.50 per burger!

Now who wouldn't be tempted to try such burger with that price tag! So me and my wife went off to Telus, Cubao where the discount is at. I figured this type of promo is only available in one branch.

Nice location, and surprisingly the airconditioning wasn't turned on. I don't know why but maybe their cutting off their electricity bills as well.

Surprisingly, while we were waiting for the burger to be served they served candies for free! Now that is something different! A well deserved clap clap for this one. One more thing is that the burger was served in less than 4 minutes! 2 burgers in less than 4 minutes! NO NEED TO WAIT!!!

The P87.50 Half-Pound Burger

What I've noticed:

• Burger patty was dry.
• Lettuce was dry.
• The burger itself was lapse.
• Delisyoso per se, but could have gotten better
• 50% Hooray! 50% WTF

If you think about it, why was it served quickly? Didn't they have to grill the patty and stuff? It is 50% off you dummy! Don't complain!

This is the only justification that I can see based from my experience. I was getting the worst impression that the meat used for this were the ones that are about to expire! and the only way to recover from what was spent was to have it sold immediately! Even at half the price!

The french fries is similar to the ones at KFC only better. because the fries didn't have that much flavor as what KFC has.

The Breakdown

P82.50 - Half-Pound Burger

P40 - 16oz Softdrink

P60 - French Fries

It is a good deal, having one of its best burgers at half the price. Just don't expect too much. Overall, the experience was a 6/10. Damn softdrink freakin' expensive! I guess their target customer isn't really everyone.

My advice? If your on a tight budget and you want a heavy rock on your belly, this is IT.

Respect for the one that started it all! Friendster...

Friendster just made an entire makeover which I think was launched yesterday. Although Facebook is the THING today, they still tried to garner more market by having the courage to innovate as what Facebook does.


In my opinion, the new look gives me the 70's to 80's feeling, the time of the Hippies. Thanks to the hippy font and the green gay background hehehe..


Honestly, I tried to login 7 times trying to remember all the passwords that I had before until I finally logged in using my oldest password in my password dictionary. 


The change surely is noticeable and you cannot help but compare it to Facebook. The activity stream is really similar to the live news feed of facebook. 

Old to New

Let us all pay our respects to the one that fathered the social networking here in the Philippines, take a peek at your long lost friendster account for just a second and continue with your Facebook Mayhem.

Wendy's New Baconator Burger - For a Rock Heavy Satisfaction!

Out of gossip from a colleague, this lead me to try out the new Wendy's Baconator Burger. Although the budget is tight, a hunger this big demands a big satisfaction!

Venue: Wendy's Hamburger in Shangri-La Plaza, Mandaluyong

Based on the advertisements, here is the Baconator:

The Experience:

Product presentation wise, the burger did not look too good. It's just big. Expecting the burger to look like how it was advertised is futile. If you have the burger up in front and tried to listen to it closely, you will hear it screaming: "cholesterol... fats.... cholesterol.. fats.."

I think my burger was done sub-standardly, judge the pictures for yourself.

Now I know it is not for the weak of heart! If your damn suicidal and not thinking about doing a healthy diet then this is the burger for you bradda!

This monster is worth P220 and if you feel that this wouldn't be enough! Order the combo for P250 or P260 which adds the Biggie Softdrink and the Biggie French Fries! I doubt you'll be able to stand up for some time if you do, not unless you are of the super saiyan kind.

The Verdict:

I'd say P220 and above is too much to be spent for this monster, for the money that much, you can even get better burgers than the Baconator, or a better decent meal with glamorous product presentation and more ingredients in it. So who would eat it? People who just wants to experience it that's all.. Me? It wouldn't be my priority but I am not saying either that I don't like it.

Globe Tattoo - Too slow

A colleague of mine bought a new HP netbook. I think it was the HP Netbook model 100. Lucky for him the laptop came with a Globe Tattoo Prepaid Wireless broadband.

It sparked my curiosity if Globe Tattoo would be fast in our area, Pasig City near Edsa Central. I then decided to borrow the thingy. Plugged it in on my Dad's ACER ASPIRE. It was succesfully installed on the computer.

I then decided to check the speed by going to speedtest.net. To my astonishment, it was so damn freakin' slow!! freakin' slower than dial up!! Took me 30minutes just to pull up speedtest.net's web page! Now that its loaded, I then click on start speed test guess what I got?? LATENCY ERROR. So much for pretty good advertisements.

At least now we know rather than getting one without knowing. gulo? hehehe... It's damn slow. It didn't even reach 1% of the speed of Sun Broadband. Maybe the cell site is still flooded by Typhoon Ondoy let's give them that.

Point Made.
