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.

Meet Up with Mary Ann

Carmina found out she'll be moving back to another home after her seven days quaratine has ended. Carmina had scheduled her weekly massage from Mary Ann. Even though Carmina was out of town she still kept in touch with Mary Ann. Mary Ann has shared what has been going on with her life. Mary Ann doesn't completely follow Carmina in her blog. She is one of the friends who don't like reading articles, but prefer to just send you a link to see the pictures or video. Mary Ann took our photo together after dropping her off to her next destination. Carmina was able to give Mary Ann a bag that she always wanted from her California trip.
