Carmina says Bebang’s halo-halo is summer in a spoon — but is it the real deal or just pretty colors in a cup?

Since last year, Mom Violy and Carmina had been wanting to try the much-talked-about  Bebang's Halo-Halo , but even when we passed by, the timing was never right. Mom Violy kept saying she’d wait until a branch opened closer to us. Then Becky told Carmina there was one along her commute route to work. The best part was that the Tomas Morato branch in Quezon City had just opened. When we arrived at CTTM Square , we found plenty of restaurants on the second floor. While checking the menu, we let the customers behind us order first. Mom Violy asked them for recommendations, and they suggested the Presidential for first timers. Unlike other places, Bebang’s Halo-Halo doesn’t have size options—everything comes in a standard size, making ordering easier. Seniors and PWDs get a discount per order, and you’re given something that lights up when your halo-halo is ready for pickup. Service was quick, so the wait wasn’t long at all.

The New Generation for Our Children

Enough just so they can pass their grades. There are some parent's who push their children to the extreme by getting them a tutor after school.

Dating

The year of my mom's generation my mom told me when someone was kissing in the movie theater that was consider a big "no no". At that time she thought when you kiss someone you would get pregnant from it. During our adolescence we are clueless how dating really is when your parents never explained what it feels when a man and a woman likes you.  How do you find about dating? Some people are told by their friends and they tend to copy each other. Others learn from the education given by school from the birds and the bee's. Or we just follow what we see on the television show. I started dating in the year 1990's my parents we're very strict with me. They loved it when my first boyfriend was a long distance relationship. I only saw him once a month; He would fly between his school and work just to visit me during the weekend. Our relationship didn't last since he was looking for someone to get married. I wasn't ready for marriage that ti...
