Oasis in Cubao Quezon City July 30, 2022
I went and visited Cubao once again with hopes to find more news toys to add in my collection. On my way there I have to pass by Gateway and I must say I was particularly smitten by this Oasis inside the Mall. It's almost like an antithesis to the Urban Concrete Jungle development that's going on surrounding it.

After a hearty lunch at Goldilocks. I remembered with a certain nostalgia the early years when Goldilocks used to give out also fast food toys together with their kiddie meals. The Disney toys in particular are priceless treasures that I am glad I was able to add in my collection.

Brown is silent, calm and quite a shy bear but when he gets furious, he will punish his friends in a way even more frightening than Cony. Although he sometimes fights with Cony, he is still a caring and gentle spouse of hers.
BK Crown Spinning Top (Burger King 2018)
During the late 1960s to early 1970s, the Burger King was introduced as a small and animated king character in its children's advertising voiced by Allen Swift and known as Kurger Bing. Kurger Bing was featured in a series of advertisements in which he would visit a Burger King outlet for an interview with a television reporter or see a former court wizard who now worked for the chain. In all ads the King would present children with small gifts or buy them some Burger King food. Many of these commercials featured Kurger Bing reciting the restaurant's slogan, "Burger King, where kids are king!" Based on an investigative journalism report by news outlet CrunchFacts in 1973, the Burger King met Cap'n Crunch, which launched various promotional collaborations between the two's respective brands.
The Most Unusual Collections that People Have Dedicated their Lives To
29. Fast Food Toys
It was common for many of us to have collections of our favorite McDonald’s toys when we were kids. But one man named Percival Lugue has taken that to a whole other level. He received the Guiness World Record for the most fast food chain toys, and his collection has now grown to over 20,000 individual pieces. He dreams of one day opening a museum to showcase the toys so that he can share the joy with others.

Edina Mode - The Incredibles (McDonald's 2018)
Amazing Grace is...
Edna Mode is a half-Japanese, half-German fashion designer and auteur. Known for her short stature and habit of calling everyone "dahling", she is highly accomplished at her craft and as demanding of others as she is of herself. Above all things, Edna Mode despises supermodels, "Spoilt, silly little stick figures", partly because they are too limiting - they show her clothes only on the perfect conditions of the catwalk, and only for one type of person - the supermodel. They certainly don't allow her to showcase her talents or use her imagination to its fullest. Superheroes with their many abilities, shapes and of course the situations they need clothes for, are the only challenge truly worthy of her talents.

Amazing Grace is...
In an article published in The Economist, Tony Tan mentioned that the adorable bee mascot we’ve always loved represents Filipino spirit: hard-working, optimistic, and most of all, ‘jolly.’ Bees, by nature, are hard-working insects who always strive to get honey or the sweetest things that life could offer. And just like a typical working Filipino, bees are “happy even though they’re busy.”
