Bracing Myself for a Special Surprise from Max's Restaurant

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I wonder what my favorite chicken restaurant is up to? What could be this "biggest meet-up" and "special surprise" happening on May 19, 2014. Well, I can't reveal the locations for now but I'm betting we will be all smiles that day!

Max's Restaurant has been surprising me since last year when I became one among the many blogger friends of  the famous brand. The latest of which was a surprise personal visit at our home from their PR people with a gift-wrapped box filled with treats which included a Max's cap signed by Filipino celebrity leading man Coco Martin. What made it more special was the inclusion of a CD with a video greeting from the actor himself, and of course Max's will never forget to give you another opportunity to dine in any of their numerous restaurants located all over the country.

If you must know, Max's was the very first restaurant I visited during my high school years. It was my first time to treat myself out to some shopping spree after I saved up on my allowance, and part of the treat was a meal at their Greenbelt branch.

The Philippines jumped by nine places in the list of countries considered as top sources of spam or unsolicited e-mail during the first three months of the year, according to a report by secure content and threat management solutions developer Kaspersky Lab.

The report conducted from January to March showed that the geographical distribution of spam by country saw little change in the first quarter of 2014. The top three spam sources remained unchanged: China, the United States and South Korea.

While the rankings of the other countries in the list did not vary significantly, Kaspersky Lab noted that there was a noticeable shift in the second half of the top 20 spam sources, with the Philippines climbing up from 20th to 11th place. The report said that the share of spam based in the Philippines was 1.23 percent.

The rating of the top sources of spam by region also did not have any major change from the previous quarter. Asia remained the number one regional source of spam although its share decreased by 3.2 percentage points.
