I’m a terrible, terrible blogger. I started this Weekend Snapshots thing 6 months ago, but this entry right here is only my 5th. What ever happened to the other “weekends”?? I know it’s not really an issue (and I know you don’t really care), I’m just a tad disappointed in myself for not being able to keep up with this blog. Might as well shut it down. And look, I’m even 5 days late in posting this entry!

On to the so-called “blog post.”

Two weeks ago, I received an invite from Yehey! to participate in their “Have It Your Way At Burger King” promo here in Manila. Guess I was lucky to be one of the 50 bloggers they picked. In normal circumstances, after I’ve received an invite I would register myself but when the day of the event comes, I’d be too lazy to go. I’ve actually missed a lot of blogger events this year because I didn’t feel like attending the parties (boo!). But with Burger King‘s promo, I knew I wouldn’t dare miss it. Because (1) I didn’t need to go to some party (antisocial much?), (2) I can bring 3 of my friends/family with me, (3) the FOOD is FREE, and (4) Burger King also happened to be one of our favorite fast-food restaurants.

Have I mentioned the free food? :D

A day before Sunday (my schedule), I read Jeff’s post about the way the other bloggers were treated at the BK branches they went to. Apparently, the managers and crew didn’t know what to do when the bloggers arrived. Another BK branch wasn’t even aware of this “special treat” that they were supposed to give. But even after reading about their experiences, last Sunday, Deej and I still visited the branch in Rob Galleria (the branch I chose) hoping to claim our free food. Yay!

As opposed to the bad experiences the others had, mine was on the pleasant side. When I got to the counter at BK Galleria, I asked the manager if she knew about this special treat for bloggers. Thankfully, she recognized it right away. Not only was she very accommodating, some of her staff were very friendly too. I’m guessing maybe they got that warning from Yehey’s Marketing Solutions Specialist! Hee. We only stayed there for about 30 minutes, but it was a nice experience overall. Thank you, Haidee (the branch manager) and Burger King-Galleria!

I feel a little bad though because the “treat” should have been for me and 3 of my friends/family, but I only brought Deej. If it wasn’t such an impolite thing to do, we would’ve taken the extra meals out so we’d have something to munch on whilst watching The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. I didn’t enjoy the 3rd installment of The Mummy as much as I did its prequels, but that topic is for a whole other post (which I doubt I’d be able to write).

I digress.

Tomorrow, some friends and I are going out of town to visit the beautiful region of Bicol. This would be my first time so I’m a bit psyched. I could really use a break, you know. These past few months of ALL WORK AND NO PLAY have sucked the life out of me. Thank God for those two long weekends this August, too.

Anything particular I should be looking forward to in Bicol? :)
