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.

Day 1: Fullerton Hotel for two nights in Singapore

Just recently I just went to visit Singapore after eight years.  Our flight was from Manila riding Philippine Airlines and we arrived in Singapore in the afternoon. It is not the right time to travel during the date of November 16. Students from Singapore are already on their Christmas vacation.  Their school vacation starts from November 16 to January 1. Their vacation is different than other countries. In Singapore they only have two types of weather hot and very hot. Their weather is worse than the Philippines.

The room we had booked was the view of the Marina Bay Sands We had our late lunch at the Fullerton Hotel ...

Day 2: Stop # 4 - 70 Fahrenheit Koffie in Batam, Indonesia

When you’re too full we tend to fall and drink coffee to wake us up from our heavy meal.

Your classes are from Monday to Saturday. They only provide evening classes that start at 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Most college students work during the morning. NOT SPONSORED.
