Halo-halo, shaved ice with sweetened and cooked fruit toppings, topped with leche flan and/or ice cream, made even sweeter with sugar and milk. This is a Chowking Halo-halo.

This is what my youngest daughter and I shared before going home when she went with me to work.

I didn’t even think about the nuphedragen review I read 😉

I do not even want to think how much sugar there is in there, we just enjoyed the treat and the tongue freeze that this Chowking Halo-halo gave 😀

Beach time means seeing beach babes and beach bums all in their glorious body form.

The babes keep hard at keeping fit through various ways: dieting, exercise, and more dieting. The bums on the other hand do a lot of fitness routines too. I hope they are not just people in good shape but with interesting things going on with the gray matter between their ears.

Do they watch documentaries? Do they read (ok, force factor reviews can qualify)? What kind of work do they do after the beach season? Are they interesting when they talk?

As one mom said about her daughter, “Pagandahan na lang” Roughly translated: Just notice how beautiful my daughter is. Or something like that. Huh?

I was sorting through so many photos when I noticed something. I am rarely in the photos.

No, not because I always have acne, which incidentally, I have one that popped up a few days ago. Argh!

Almost always, I am the one taking photos and I tend to forget to ask one of the children to take a photo with me in it. I hope when the children are all grown up they won’t think I didn’t want to have photos taken with them 😀

I attended the iBlog6 last Friday and I met new blogger friends.

There were a lot of people from the advertising industry on the day I went because the first day dealt with the business side of blogging.

Of course, they were not selling custom travel mugs 😀

They were there to “pulse” the bloggers and to learn how to deal with bloggers or ok, the “new media” or “online media” to some in terms of business deals and events where their products and services are featured and bloggers are invited.

The venue was not filled but I still didn’t get a shirt from so many that were raffled off 🙁 It would have been nice to have a collection from iBlog3 till iBlog6.

Homemade Tiramisu (or something like it) which I already featured here in my 2010 Project 365.

I did this homemade tiramisu before getting wedding party gifts for a friend. When we got home, it was the perfect sweet thing to have after a long and tiring day.

Ingredients:

• broas or lady fingers dipped for a bit in bitter coffee melted in water
• all purpose cream and condensed milk mixed together (no mascarpone cheese in our household)
• cocoa powder
• dark chocolate syrup (optional)

Dip the broas briefly in the coffee. Lay all the broas together. Put a layer of the cream on top of it. Continue layering depending on your broas.

Sprinkle with cocoa powder when you are done.

Chill for a few hours before serving.

Put chocolate syrup if you so desire. The children asked for some since I did not put a lot of condensed milk and the cream is not too sweet.
