Good morning!
This is a test.

IT'S A NEW DAY
(Will I Am)

I went to sleep last night
Tired from the fight
I've been fighting for tomorrow
All my life
Yea I woke up this morning
Feeling brand new
'Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming
Has finally came true

It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day

It's been a long time coming
Up the mountain kept runnin'
Songs of freedom kept hummin'
Channeling Harriet Tubman

Kennedy, Lincoln, and King
We gotta manifest that dream
It feels like I'm swimming upstream
It feels like I'm stuck in between
A rock and a hard place
We've been through the heartaches
And lived through the darkest days

If you and I made it this far
Well then hey, we can make it all the way
And they said no we can't
And we said yes we can
Remember it's you and me together

I woke up this morning
Feeling alright
I've been fightin' for tomorrow
All my life
Yea, I woke up this morning
Feeling brand new
Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming
Has finally came true

It's a new day
(it's a new day)
It's a new day
(it's a new day)
It's a new day
It's a new day

It's been a long time waitin'
Waiting for this moment
Been a long time praying
Praying for this moment

We hope for this moment
And now that we own it
For life I'ma hold it
And I won't let it go

It's for fathers, our brothers
Our friends who fought for freedom
Our sisters, our mothers
Who died for us to be in this moment

Stop and cherish this moment
Stop and cherish this time

It's time for unity
For us and we
That's you and me together

I woke up this morning
Feeling brand new
Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming
Have finally came true
Yea, I woke up this morning
Feeling alright

'Cause we weren't fighting for nothing
And the soldiers weren't fighting for nothing
No, Martin was dreaming for nothing
And Lincoln didn't change it for nothing
And children weren't crying for nothing

It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
A new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day

That's me and Saab waiting at the lifts in their condo building. (The guitar is being loaned out to Elmo, which is why she has it. It's actually FM's MTV Legends Award!)
Tim and FM doing "Mga Kababayan"... what more patriotic song is there?!

(This is a follow-up on my original entry at http://piamagalona.multiply.com/journal/item/34)

Last Friday, Jun 15, I received a text message at 10:56AM...

"Hi, Ms Pia Magalona. This is rommel Ong, operations manager of McDonald's. I just would like to know if I can call you and apologize regarding your bad experience on our delivery. Looking forward to your reply. Thank you." [sic]

Well, I returned Mr Ong's call but couldn't get through at first. An hour later, he called me. Mr Ong is a very jovial man, and is easy to get along with. He was very apologetic about my experience and I took the opportunity to repeat myself: I am only after the best quality of service your store can provide. I explained to him that from the customer's point of view, what good is spending so much on advertising when the best form of promotion for the store would be their patrons'  satisfaction and loyalty.

In fact, I said, my three youngest kids and I had just "driven thru" their Marcos Hi-way (Marikina) branch just then for lunch, and true enough, I realized as I exited the drivethru, the Happy Meal™ toys were NOT in the bag. Hmph! So I had to back-up again to get into the parking area and since there wasn't any parking available, I had to ask the "parking attendant" to please claim the toys for me. (No, there wasn't a security guard that I could see.)

Ok, just to make myself clear again, I am not a whiner, I don't "look for the bad" and I am what is called a HALF-FULL type of person. I see the good in everything, but then again, I am also an assertive person, so I cannot live with mediocrity. Besides, it's my money, right?

In the end, we agreed that they ought to concentrate on the TRAINING of their personnel, and that I would update my blog/s.

So, whether or not their service improves is all up to them. He is well aware, based on the comments to that posting of mine, that I am not the only one complaining. Mr Ong said he was grateful for our feedback, and I told him I, too, appreciated his call. He also asked me to save his number for future reference.

I received this in my Inbox. First thing I did was check its validity on snopes.com and it checked out so I'm passing it on...

As you are aware my niece is still missing and I am asking everyone I
know to send this as a chain letter i.e. you send it to everyone you
know and ask them to do the same, as the story is only being covered
in Britain, Eire and Portugal. We don't believe that she is in
Portugal anymore and need to get her picture and the story across
Europe as quickly as possible. Suggestions are? welcome.

End of letter. I did more research and found the official website Bring Madeleine Home where I found the official poster as seen above.

I'm posting this on all my blogs as well.
