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.

Being the Subject of a Conversation



You come across a friend and they tell you not to tell anyone about themselves and one day you receive a phone call.

Your friend passes the phone to their friend and asked to talk to person and find out later your friend has told their co-worker who you are you become unsure why your friend tells you not to tell anyone to your friend who you just met.

You become curious and wonder why all a sudden you have become the subject from their friends and you are so curious what your friend has told their friends about you.

Sometime you encounter a friend who only says what they mean but it is not true when behind your back they are talking about you and you realize the friendship you have with them becomes unfair because you we’re told not to say anything to your common friends that you are talking to them.

You start to question the person and ask their friends what they have talked about because you we’re shocked you are the subject among their co-worker.

Sometimes friends don’t want other people to gossip about them but in reality they are doing the same thing behind your back.

As you we’re told not to let them be a subject in your conversation with your common friends you begin to question the person you are talking too.

You realize there are friends who don’t mean what they say and they cannot hold back because the person they meant seems unreal to them that they need to share the good news.
