Ice Cream!!!

While I was walking along Orchard Rd. with Stesh and Wayne, Stesha was telling me that I should not forget to try the dirty ice cream version of Singapore, but because we were already full that night, I wasn't able to do so. When Mama visited me over the weekend, it was a day of shopping and nonstop walking. While we were walking along Orchard Rd., we saw that people were lining up to buy some ice cream, of course we lined up too.


The ice cream was cut into "1 bar of butter" proportions. Then they'd ask you if you'd like to have it in a bun or sandwiched between wafers. Para maiba, we tried the wafer. They had a variety of flavors:


Mama had the Macadamia, I had the Tin Roof Brownie.


Yumyum! Another must-try for SG tourists. :)

CARPE DIEM!
I'm out.

I'm contacting you in regards to your blog and writing skills. I'll get the to point of my reason of contact. Basically I like your writing skills and I'm interested in learning more about you and your writing ability. We currently have a small book project (rewrite a book) and we're in the process of finding someone to complete it for us.

Please let me know if you're interested and we can chat further about it. It can lead to other projects in the near future as well.


I look forward to hearing back from you in a timely manner so we can proceed with this.

Ba-Bye Ate

Today was quite a sad day for our family. For a very close-knit family, goodbyes are really extra difficult to say . Especially if the one leaving will be miles and seas away. My Ate (with her husband) left this morning for the US. They'll be starting their new life there. She already has work so I don't need to worry about that anyway, and I'm sure that she'll definitely do well. My parents were really sad... maybe it's the thought of being "away" from her. Tipong you have to hop on a plane pa just to be able to get to her. The whole family has US visa naman , we can go there anytime (as long as we have the money I guess :p) Yes, I cried a lot as well... and I guess it's because of all the bilins I got from her. The one that stuck the most " Ikaw na bahala dito ha.. Alagaan mo sila Mama and Papa. Si Ivan ha... Wag mo silang pabayaan. " My nephew on the other hand was a different story... he was eager to go home already when we got to NAIA. ...

Commitmentphobe No More

Look... check out who finally commits. :) I've read about this in my friend's blog sometime last week. (Hi Carla ! Thanks for sharing). My initial reaction... "WHY VERONICA?!?" I was such a Betty fan. Oh well... So I've read more about the article just this morning and here's part of it.. “People who vote for Veronica-Archie are the idealists, the people who say, ‘I'm voting for the glitz, the glamour, the high energy, the sexiness, the ideal [and] they might not even care so much that it'll only last five years,'” says the Toronto-based registered family, marriage and sex therapist. Those who yearn to see Archie and Betty get hitched take a more realistic, traditional view, she says. They're more grounded, are thinking long term and have more of a sense of “for always and forever.” The way the girlfriends each relate to Archie sheds a lot of light on their character. Betty allows Archie to push her aside, a sign she'd make a submissive...

Suuuuuungka!

Who knows how to play Sungka? What's Sungka you may be thinking? Well, let's allow good old Wiki to define it for us... Congkak (pronounced [tʃoŋkaʔ] ) is a mancala game played in the island of Borneo , Singapore , and Peninsular Malaysia . Minor variants are known as Tchonka, Naranj, Dakon or Sungka and are played in Indonesia (mostly Java ), Sri Lanka , the Maldives , southern Thailand , the Philippines and the Marianas . In Indonesia, it is called "Congklak" meaning cowrie shells, which are often used as pieces. On the island of Java, it is called "Dakon" and little red seeds are used as pieces. In the Philippines it is called "Sungka" and shells are used as pieces. Congkak is believed to originate from the word ‘congak’ which in old Malay Language means count. When we were in Boracay last April, this game was played during our free time. I love playing it! Especially if my opponent's Arvic because I pretty much win all the time. Haha...
