Day 26 of 100 Happy Days
There used to be a McDonald's ad campaign in the Philippines where even the smallest thing can be celebrated by buying cheeseburgers--from a new outfit to finally snagging a seat in a crowded bus/train. So it's a very Pinoy joke to say "burger, burger, burger!" when a person does well and wants to be rewarded.
We have been joking about how The Boss cannot understand references to Philippine pop culture, like the famous McDonald's ad campaign. For the very obvious reason that The Boss is not Filipino and, although living in the Philippines, is not really "masa." But we really wanted to celebrate the publishing of our first Conversations on Faith and IP Culture book! I personally wanted to have a staff lunch since April will be a very busy month. We'll hardly be able to sit together and catch up in April because we're all doing field work and a lots of traveling.
So today, we got burgers. :)
