Super Mario for McDonald’s Happy Meal

I grew up with Super Mario.. the very first video game I played (and Pacman too!) Good old days with our Family Computer!

And when hubby considered buying game consoles for the kids, my choice was DS, why? So I can play Super Mario once again..oh boy I am so in love with Super Mario!

Good news for Super Mario fans! McDonal’s Happy Meal is Super Mario!!!! Ayayay!

The photo is from McDonald’s Philippine Facebook Page. Thank you Mommy Levy for the heads up 🙂

McDonald’s Happy Meal Super Mario has 8 designs:

Boomerang Mario
Yoshi
Fire Mario
Mario with ? block
Peach
Mario with Goal Pole
Mario with Pipe
Penguin Mario

Of course, I want to collect all and while writing about this, the kids saw the photo and the princess wants the Peach! Funny because we call her Peach sometimes 🙂

McDonald’s Happy Meal has 6 offerings too!

Chicken Mcdo (Php 108.00, with fries Php 123.00)
Chicken McNuggets (Php 100.00, with fries Php 116.00)
Burger Mcdo (Php 74.00, with fries Php 85.00)
Mc Spaghetti (Php 85.00, with fries Php 100.00)
4pc Mini Hotcakes (Php 84.00, with fries Php 99.00)
Hamdesal (Php 77.00, with fries Php 92.00)

Ahh so in order to complete the McDonald’s Happy Meal Super Mario Set, I need to spend PhP 592.00 (granted that I only buy the cheapest McDonald’s Happy Meal which is Burger Mcdo).

You know now where will be heading for lunch today! haha

——————— 2 hours after posting this and we got a complete set ———————

So I thought I would only be spending 592 PhP..oh boy I was wrong! They want chicken, chicken nuggets and spaghetti! I spend 700+ PhP for the whole set! hahaha

Happy Meal Overload!!

And here’s our McDonald’s Happy Meal Super Mario toys:

As with any Super Mario games, it starts with Mario hitting a mystery box..which makes him bigger, right?

And then Mario fights with Boomerang (Super Mario 3D Land)

Then Mario goes inside the pipe and in another world he becomes:

A penguin Mario! (New Super Mario Bros.)

Aside from freezing his enemy, he can also beat them with Fire (Super Mario Bros.)

And of course, after beating all the enemies and completing a world, a flag is waiting! Tell me, what’s the highest score you got for bringing down the flag?

At some point, Yoshi waits for Mario..

But at the end of it all, Princess Peach waits to be saved.

Waah I miss playing Super Mario!

Let’s Ask Diego

We’re often bombarded with questions from our kids right? All my kids are inquisitive, My first born asked (a few years ago) how babies are made? huh?!? We have to explain him scientifically how it was made.. but no. his question is more than that.. he was actually asking how WE ARE MADE, where we came from. Argh! That’s harder.. evolution vs religion? We explained both.

Now with my youngest girl, she’s a non stopper, always curious with her environment. Why is our pee hot? Is it cooked? why is my face round? Why mommy’s boobs is bigger than the others? Why? Why? oh Why?

Eh what if we are the one asking? What are the questions we can ask to our kids? or to a seven year old kid to be exact?

Let’s Ask Diego!

Ask Diego is the newest FB sensation, a 7 year old kid answering questions thrown (I am assuming) mostly by adults, like this one:

Diego’s answer are simple and yet very helpful… oo nga naman di ba? if love each other, then you should be together! I think we adults can a learn a thing or two from Diego’s answers 🙂

You might be wondering who is Diego and why his parents (Paolo Ledesma and Lara Ledesma) created a page for him, this is what he said:

What a sweet little kid!

Here’s another Diego’s answer worth posting:

Ang cute ng mga sagot nya no? hihi

Now, I asked a few friends what they want to ask to a 7 year old kid, or what their kids would ask, and the answers/ questions actually are hilarious! Here are some:

bakit mas gwapo si superman ke batman?
Why did they make one hour into 60 minutes, 50 is a lot easier to remember?
sabi mo mama nasa puso lang natin si jesus diba? Panu siya kasya dun?

And this one take the cake:

naku my 8 years old daughter asked me “diba mommy sabe ni jesus dapat love naten ung mga enemies?” (nag aaral kase sila for there first communion) me: oo naman and she replied eh di dapat love naten si devil… as in ang silent reaction ko “WHAT?!”

Diego, please help us answer these questions!
