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 it only looks like your typical ice cream is an understatement. In fact, they also serve Halo-halo, Tsoko Pinipig, Manga’t Suman, Kape’t Gatas and Calamansi flavors!.


            Now, let’s see who wouldn’t get tingly with curiosity.

Social Networking Sites Got Us!

Today, Facebook has over 400 million users worldwide. Twitter is impending to outrun it with 75 million. Friendster has gained 90 million, mostly from Southeast Asia and so on for the other social networking sites. These mere numbers are facts. However, these facts are not just plain truths. They are proof that web users around the world have given in to these social networking sites’ massive popularity. You ask why? Of course, the online phenomena didn’t just happen out of the blue.


It probably isn’t new to you that one major importance of social networking sites is communication. You can either send a message or even just a quick “hi” to anyone who may be miles away with just a single mouse click. Social networking sites truly took the bother of snail mails and expensive calls and texts away from us. Through these we can now easily keep in touch with the families on other country.


These social networking sites also feature groups and fan pages. They may either be for a cause, a school organization or a business company. Fan pages also help artists, celebrities and groups to update those who had become their fans of their latest news and whereabouts. In fact, these pages can be transformed into informal open forums by launching discussions on wall posts or notes.


Businesses can even expand on these sites. Users can turn their profiles into virtual billboards by posting their products and allowing other users to order and purchase them. And some of my friends did it and they got a bang on their individual business.


Social networking sites have also been very helpful to its users because of its capacity to search for people all over the world. However, some claim that invasion of privacy is possible since other users can delve into someone’s profile including that person’s personal information, pictures, videos and wall posts; a friend of mine was a victim. This has long been compromised by social networking sites by giving the user freedom to keep his/her profile private.


These sites have given web users a taste of convenience and efficiency. No wonder they have received tremendous acceptance from millions of people worldwide, although it’s disappointing that some of its users are too immature to use the site as means for their foolish plans. Some of them would either post scandal pictures or talk trash to a certain user on his/her profile. Some would even disregard work or study and spend more time posting nonsense and upload vanity pictures. Others keep on virtually stalking other users and even conceal on others’ identities.


True, they propose a number of disadvantages including addiction, wide-range procrastination and what else predisposed people can say. However, these obviously do not outweigh the advantages that social networking sites bring. Then again, think about it. These disadvantages are merely acts of man and not of the social networking sites.


       They do not reveal our private information nor post bad things against us. They do not waste our time. We do. We should not ignore this online revolution just because of the few flaws. As a matter of fact, I can strongly say that they not disadvantageous at all if we try to use them responsibly. What are actually disadvantages are those people who abuse them.

          Be responsible and act as a respectful person. ^_^

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 cream pulled the whole thing out. It gave the crepe the sweet aftertaste. Based on experience, I suggest that you buy a crepe that is already served with ice cream so you wouldn’t have to order for a scoop.


I really don’t know where my friend buy it but believe me it’s great.

Social Networking Sites On The Go

        Anyone who has not had the slightest idea what on earth are Twitter, Plurk, Multiply, Friendster and Facebook must either be too naïve or Digital, a Filipino-owned digital marketing company, almost 70 percent of internet users in the Philippines use Friendster. Other research shows that a great number of Filipinos are Multiply users and just recently, the Philippines ranked 8th place as the country with the largest number of Facebookers worldwide.


These facts tell that Filipinos and people from all over the globe can’t help it but be captivated by these social networking sites. This is because these sites allow people to keep in touch with one another no matter the distance at the comforts of their own homes. From the sound of that, social networking sites sure spell captivating, but before you glue your eyes on your computer monitors, there are hitches you should know.


These sites aren’t only made so that people could socialize; on the contrary, it contributes to people becoming increasingly isolated. People have to spend considerable amount of time sitting in front of their computers updating their profiles because that is what you should do the moment you signed up for a social networking account. Besides, what’s the use of Facebook account if you won’t update it anyway? People get to interact lesser with other people who they really care for and aren’t virtually present because of what social networking sites require from them.


Social networking sites also blur the distinction between real friends and not; there is a growing confusion between the people we really care about and the people we don’t. Yes, despite the charisma these sites have for us, they sure cost us a lot of hospital bills when worse get to worst.


While people confidently post their information on these sites, one’s privacy is at stake. Does extended network ring a bell? Even if you’ve secured all your information it is still possible for culprits to pry into some of your information. Also, social networking sites features “send a message” so that strangers could initiate their evil tricks. In a social networking site your private information is vulnerable to people with bad intentions – bullies, stalkers, fraudsters and identity thieves counted.

While it is true that we are the ones responsible for our actions, we simply can’t deny the fact that actions are always triggered by motivations. The presence of these online social networking avenues motivates people to use it as it is.








        Happy Surfing the Net guys and Oh! be careful!!! ^_^

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. I ordered double dutch and could not really distinguish the flavour of the ice cream from that of the pie. Well, I still gave thumbs up for the idea and the rice crispies (which served as the pie), although they weren’t crispy at all.

You can try this with me, if you want. ^_^
