Banana-Q Ice Cream | Pinoy Sorbetes

          I’m pretty sure the typical Pinoy sorbetes hasn’t got the whiff of this yet.           My friend treats me a cone of Banana-Q Ice Cream and was totally amazed. It really tasted like banana-Q. The aftertaste of fried banana covered in melted brown sugar dominated the whole ice cream. The bits of banana-Q on the ice cream were a big plus, too. Although the frozen delight lacked the creaminess, I still complimented on how they have combined unusual but familiar flavors into the cold treat we all love. To say that...

Cappuccino Crepe | Crazy Crepes

        Who says you can’t take coffee as a dessert? Crepes will prove you wrong! Crazy Crepes gives you a variety of crepe flavours – mostly fruity. So for a change, I tried the most unusual crepe flavor there was – the Cappuccino Crepe. A crepe with hefty amount of whipped cream, cappuccino mix, cookie bits and chocolate syrup. All those whipped cream really got me insane. It got more and more revolting as I tried to consume the whole of it.         The good thing was, you can add a scoop of ice cream flavour of your choice. The ice...

Ice Cream On Pie | Unique Dessert

    Ice cream is just ordinary but ice cream on pie is totally interesting! As you take a chunk, the first thing you notice is the pie’s solid texture as it blends with the ice cream. The ice cream had a flaky texture since it was frozen solid when it was put out of the cooler. Eating this dessert might be discouraging to those with sensitive teeth. You cannot bite into the pie unless you bite the cold ice cream, you know.         Anyway, the ice cream pie comes in three flavors: double dutch, chocolate and butterscotch caramel....

What am I going to wear today? | Wear What You Say!

“What am I going to wear today?” This is the question that we ask during these semestral breaks, when wearing the school uniform is not required. But in my case, I’m studying in a school where school uniforms are not required even on school days. Usually, when we finally find one plain t-shirt, whatever is the color and albeit a bit dilapidated already, we always end up wearing it.     Once you are gone outside of the house, you will be amused to see that, just like what you do, most people you meet are also just wearing T-shirts. When you start to think that they...

The Five Finger Prayer | Prayer Guide

 Five Finger Prayer This is so neat. I had never heard this before. This is beautiful - and it is surely worth making the 5 finger prayer a part of our lives. 1. Your thumb is nearest you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C.S. Lewis once said, a "sweet duty". 2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors and ministers. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction. Keep them...
