Fried Ice Cream

when i saw this in robinson's midtown, i was scared to try it. fried ice cream sounded weird to me so i had my yogurt instead.

now, fried ice cream opened a kiosk at university mall (where my store bedazzle accessories will soon open too!!!!) i decided to give it a try (since we're neighbors in the 3rd floor ;)

wow!!!! it's really good. the concept of frying the ice cream is so cool. i expected it to be hot really but i was wrong. hihi! of course it's cold! ;) see it fry before you. amazing!

there are a lot of flavors to choose from - vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, black forest, bubble gum and a lot more. there are also toppings like candy sprinkles, cookies, wafer sticks and mallows.

i tried strawberry flavored ice cream with candy sprinkles and mallows topped with strawberry syrup. yum yum! plus very affordable - only P30.

my fried ice cream :)

*fried ice cream is open for franchise at miguelito's international corporation*

TAGAYTAY ROAD TRIP

since it was a long weekend, we decided to have a little family bonding. we left for tagaytay around 9:00 a.m and luckily there was no traffic.

first stop: corn vendor along the way. lolo wanted to eat native corn.

second stop: pink sisters convent. i wanted to say a little prayer before we go on our trip plus to get some yummy pasalubongs like sampalok and polvoron (which by the way, my nephew loved!)

sepi with yaya - eating the polvoron under the tree :)

third stop: mushroom burger - my uncle insisted that we make the stop. haha! he loves mushroom burger. well, i ordered 1 for each of us and we all loved it :)

fourth stop: bag of beans - a well known coffee place in tagaytay. too bad they don't serve alamid coffee anymore (civet coffee). i wanted to order one for my uncle so that he could taste it. they said that it's made of something that you woudn't want to know anymore. hehe :)

i love their sheperds pie and black forest iced coffee :)

they do have nice tables down stairs like this day bed where you and your family can lounge and relax.
fifth stop: palace in the sky. so beautiful. well not really the place because it looks like it was abandoned already but since it's the highest point in tagaytay, the view is breathtaking plus the coldness of the air! i lav et! :)

we had to ride the jeepney already because after a short walk, my 91-year old lolo gave up. haha! my nephew enjoyed the short jeepney ride. it's P40/one way, regardless of the number of pasaheros.

sixth stop: good sheperd - bought some pasalubong. i haven't taken pictures of their yummy ube halaya (s - P125/ b - P180) and tawilis in olive oil (P80 per bottle). yum yum!

seventh stop: flower shops along the street. we bought flowers for our departed ones.

eight stop: rose and grace bulalo house in sta. rosa. we just had to have our once in while dose of bone marrow! :)

Bead Accessory Making Workshop

i had fun teaching bead accessory making especially since i was referred by my previous student to her friends who like to learn the craft. i love teaching other aspiring bead enthusiasts who want to earn extra by making bead accessories. i like sharing my experiences, how i started and my future plans. i feel good when my students make a pair of earrings or a simple bracelet. it's an accomplishment for me. a different high! ;)

ms. marlen completing her necklace project :)

busy hands

happy sunday everyone! :)

F.A.M.E

went to world trade center to check out the Manila F.A.M.E International. i like to see the accessories display made by different local artist. all i can say is that i still need to learn so much for me to be at par with them. haha! great collection from Avatar Accessories and Dam Good Stuff.

wasn't able to take a lot of pictures. i assumed that it's bawal since i didn't see anyone with cameras.

anyway, was able to take a few snap shots from the stores i visited. i went to Endido Designs and they do have a wide selection of wood beads in fancy colors plus kuya was very accomodating. i bought a lot of wood beads in his booth.

endidio designs is a company from cebu. they also have ready to wear accessories aside from the wood beads that they sell. i'm happy because they accept orders online.

here are some of the wood beads that i got from endido.

***F.A.M.E exhibit runs until today. entrance fee is at P200.

Comfort Food

there are really days when i feel down and tired and yesterday was one of these days. i'm just glad me and my family had brunch at Cafe Adriatico (a good 2-minute walk from my lolo's house). nothing beats family bonding plus of course my comfort food....

i ordered pandesal with kesong puti and butter.

made me smile a little...;)

RED (retired & extremely dangerous)

we watched RED or Retired & Extremely Dangerous without any idea what the movie is all about. all i know is that it stars bruce willis and that it's raining hard outside so we can't go home yet.

anyway, glad i watched it :) RED was the perfect mix of action and comedy and a little romance. the movie was full of gun fights, fist fights and explosion. what i love about it is the fact that there are no dull moments. pace of the film is good plus there's action in every scene (aside from the funny one-liner of john malkovich a.k.a. marvin).

marvin (malkovich) tries to scare the vice president with a bomb! this scene is hilarious :)

the movie is jampacked with great stars such as willis (frank), malkovich (marvin), freeman (joe) and mirren (veronica). they used to be top CIA agents but the secrets they know made them the agency's top targets (thus the title retired and extremely dangerous :) how they worked together - their collective cunning, expertise and teamwork made the movie exciting. i love the humor that malkovich brought to the film. i also love the stunts espcially when mirren was behind the machine gun, scaring the vice presiedent in a BALL GOWN ;) cool!

RED is truly one of my favorite films this year. fans of the casts will not be disappointed. a must see movie.

It All Boils Down to Good Company

was so happy last saturday because i had dinner with my super friends salie, she and weng. we seldom see each other that's why moments like this are priceless. been friends since elementary. i'm really glad that up to now we are still friends :)

we ate at felix in greenbelt 5. one of the owners of felix is actor richard gomez plus the chef is the famous chef florabel. anyway, it was our first time here so we asked the server about their specialties.

we were given bread and butter while waiting for our order. the bread is good even without the spread :)

next on our order is the salad. forgot the name but it has lettucce, chicken, seared tuna, fruits like strawberrines, grapes and mango. the sauce is a bit tangy and sweet ~P395~

we also ordered spicy wings (jeje in their menu) - which by the way is not spicy at all...the chicken coating is sweet sort of caramelized. six pieces of wings plus greens. ~P295~

weng loves pasta so we ordered 2 different pasta dishes. ala ton is an all meat pasta with pesto sauce and sundried tomatoes - yum!!!! ~P425~

and ala bel which is sauteed crabs and prawns in white sauce...~P425~

the food were all good - nothing exceptional, just good. but if you have a big appetite, definitely not for sharing. we find the prices a little steep but i guess it's because it's in greenbelt 5 ;)

anyway, as i've said, get together with friends is not really about the food...what matters is the good company shared by people who love to laugh and have fun:)

oopps! by the way, i just have to say this...their iced tea is not bottomless (boo!) haha!
