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. Each order comes in its own green plastic bag with a table...

The best way to catch mice trying to steal your bread from you is placing a sticky mouse board made of paper and cut it in the middle to make two pieces than having to use only one.

In my picture you can see the mice was trying to escape from the sticky paper and landed on my rug a way to grab the mice to transfer back to the sticky paper is holding the rug slowly and making a way the mice lands back in place to the sticky board just take some common sense. Have a plastic bag ready to place the sticky board and mice inside by folding it this way the mice doesn't run away or goes to you. You start to experience having mice in your home you begin to be an expert how to catch them make sure th...

Thai Mango in the Philippines

Treating yourself once in a while is a great way to reward yourself, especially on days when you feel you’ve earned it. Sometimes, we just need a break from home-cooked meals. There’s no need to feel guilty about what you eat—just enjoy and be satisfied with your choice. This time, I decided to treat myself to some Thai food.  I had been craving noodles and spent some time deciding where to order through Grab Food. I made the right choice by ordering from Thai Mango in Kamuning. I got their set menu, which included Pad Thai, Thai Fried Chicken, Mango Sticky Rice, and Tamarind Iced Tea. It was the perfect indulgence for me! The container is cool and reusable, perfect for using again after washing, and it comes with a lid. The Pad Thai is mildly spicy with the tangy tamarind flavor shining through the sauce on the noodles, paired with tofu and all the classic ingredients. It tastes delicious and completely satisfied my cravings. The Thai Fried Chicken is served with a vinegar and chi...
