Isa ako sa mga tao na loyalistang McDonald’s. Minsan lang ako napapadpad sa Jollibee. Yung mga minsan na hindi ako ang nagbabayad or kung hindi eh wala akong choice.

Pagkaalis ko ng gym kagabi, pagod at gutom, dumeretso ako ng J.P. Laurel para humanap ng makakainan. Yung unang nasa isip ko, sa Mcdo ako kakain. Pero napag-isip-isip ko rin na medyo nagsasawa na rin ako sa Mcdo. At dahil malapit lang ang Jollibee sa Mcdonald’s, napagdesisyunan kong kakain na lang ako ng Burger Steak meal sa Jollibee (Hotdog at Burger Steak lang ang kinakaya kong masikmurang kainin sa Jollibee).

Madali lang yung pag-order ko ng Burger Steak. Hindi natagalan. Hindi na rin nila ako binigyan ng number. At dahil dine-in, stainless steel spoon and fork ang gagamitin. Kumuha ako sa sterilizer nila. Nagtaka ako dahil walang lamang hot water ang sterlizer nila.

Nung makaakyat na ako sa second floor at inumpisahang kumain, bago ko pa nagamit ang tinidor, napansin kong may mga bahid ng kanin ang hinahawakan kong tinidor. What? Hindi ba hinugasan ‘to? Hindi ba nila inayos ang paghugas nito?

Nagmadali akong bumaba para humingi ng plastic spoon and fork. I leaned over the counter to catch the crew’s attention at pinansin naman nila ako. Naka-smile pa yung babaeng crew at nagtanong kung ano ang kailangan ko. Sabi ko, “Can I have a plastic pair of spoon and fork?“. Tas eto ang sagot niya, “Sir, meron naman po tayo dito (sabay turo sa bin ng stainless steel spoon and fork)“. Kaya sinagot ko siya, “Uhmm, kumuha na ako kanina kaso marumi yung nakuha ko“.

Tiningnan ko ang reaction ng mukha ng crew. Sa mga ganitong sitwasyon, kailangan ang eye contact para malaman nilang you are in authority. Nagbago ang reaksyon ng babaeng crew. Nawala ang smile niya ata napalitan ng simangot sa mukha. Binigyan niya ako ng new pair of plastic spoon and fork. Nag-thank you naman ako pero nakasimangot pa rin siya.

Sa pangyayaring ito, I swear, I won’t eat at Jollibee Bajada anymore.

TV Ratings (Nov. 5–8): "Marimar" tightens its grip while "Deal or No Deal" falls short two weeks in a row

"Let them bite the dust," Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes may as well boast. Marimar once again dominated the primetime race this week with a remarkable margin.

Last Monday, November 5, the local adaptation of the popular Mexican telenovela tallied a 46.8 percent rating, with closest rival Zaido coming in second with 39 percent. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday were no different as Marimar collected 45.6, 46 percent, and 45.5 percent, respectively. Marimar is the only program this week to reach the 40-plus peak in terms of viewership.

While the primetime bracket was ruled by one program, Whammy! Push Your Luck, Kung Mahawi Man ang Ulap, and Daisy Siete took turns occupying the top spot in the daytime battle.

The tandem of Paolo Bediones and Rufa Mae Quinto was on to a hot start as they collected a rating of 26.5 percent last Monday, November 5, to nip the others. Kung Mahawi Man ang Ulap, however, bounced back to reclaim the lead the following day, November 6, thanks to its 22.5 percent rating which was good enough to keep Pasan Ko ang Daigdig's 21.8 percent rating at bay.

Whammy! grabbed the No. 1 spot once again Wednesday, November 7, with 24.4 percent. But yesterday, November 8, it was Daisy Siete's turn to grab the top post with 23.7 percent.

For the second week in a row, Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal came close in snatching the throne from its rivals. Last Wednesday, November 7, Kris Aquino's game show garnered a 23.6 percent clip to finish second behind Whammy! If this trend continues, expect the supposed rivalry between Kris Aquino and Rufa Mae Quinto to be stirred up once more by the rumormongers.

TV Patrol World also performed well particularly last Monday, tailing behind archrival 24 Oras to take the No. 4 spot overall with its 31.1 percent.

Vhong Navarro's Lastikman, in the meantime, reappeared inside the Top 10 yesterday, November 8, after three days of being a no-show. For Thursday, Lastikman achieved a 21.1 percent rating, tying Ysabella for the last spot.

Here are the Top 1o shows for daytime and primetime programming from November 5 to 8 according to the overnight ratings conducted by AGB Nielsen Philippines among Mega Manila households:
