Once upon a while, the Lil Guy went to Mang Inasal, a local food chain franchise famous for its grilled chicken and fish (or so he heard). Unfortunately, they said no to him. And so while their company went inside, he and his mum stayed in the car. He occupied the driver's seat, peeking through the window when people passed by and playing with the steering wheel.
Then he felt so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyes open.
Well, before that, they ate a take-out, a serving of PM2 as they called it. Tasty grilled chicken quarters that smelled heavenly. Mum was generous she let him consume more than usual. They opened the box soon after his dada handed it over (hence no photos were taken). They were famished and the aroma was irresistible!
His tummy was full and happy but it made him slumbrous so he gave in, laid on the seat, and dozed off like there was no tomorrow while his mum enjoyed a cup of what they jokingly call mix-mix or Halo-Halo.
It's one of his mum's favorites and she wouldn't say no to it when offered, especially when it's from Mang Inasal. He had not tasted it (he's not into icy or cold food) but it must be delicious! It's extra-creamy as the packaging claimed.
Anyway, he got his snooze time and her mommy had her treat and they were both happy despite not being at the table with their fam inside the food place. He wondered why in this day and age, some are still unfriendly to furry ones. They should know he is well-behaved and observes etiquette. For as long as he can remember, he never made a mess inside restaurants. He usually sits and patiently waits for their food to be served or for her mum to give him his share.
The sound of giggles coming toward their vehicle awakened him. He knew it was time to get back on the road so he jumped into the other seat, climbed to his mum's neck, and didn't look out the window until the car moved.
Hmmm... freshness! The road is long but he's excited for their next adventure!
