27 Oct 2008 Halloween Parade in Marikina

I’ve got a big task tonight. I have promised my son I would be looking for a really nice and scary Halloween costume for him. He wanted to join Marikina City’s Halloween parade this Friday, October 31. We have always watched the annual parade in Marikina which were all very entertaining.

This year, my son wanted to join the parade himself, maybe he already outgrew some of his fears because he used to be very afraid of ghosts and other horrific creatures. I wonder what I should be buying for myself too. I watched a morning show in GMA 7 which discussed the in-costumes for Halloween which made me changed my mind about buying a witch costume for me. This year, the show revealed that the in-thing are gothic themes. I suddenly remember about my favorite film The Craft, maybe I should watch it again to give me an idea of “my look.” :)

The pill craze in the Philippines is yet to subside. TV commercials are dominated by pill products that promotes health and wellness. Most popular pills are vitamin supplements, whitening products and dietary supplements. In our country, the most popular diet pill is xenical. In other countries, the counterpart of this pill is alli, also a non-prescription drug.

We are getting into the era where people wanted changes drastically and effortlessly. Exercising and dieting takes a lot longer time before you lose some pounds as well as applying whitening lotions to get a whiter complexion.

Whatever you choose, always make sure that you have taken careful considerations of the repercussions especially considering health concerns.

13 Oct 2008 A Taste of Razon’s Legendary Halo-Halo

Most pinoys love halo-halo. This is a truly Filipino dessert treat. In our place in Marikina, there are two restaurants serving super delicious halo-halo — Boyong’s at San Roque for only P25.00; and 3 E’s and Moms at SSS Village, more expensive at P60.00 per serving.

Sometime ago, I noticed that the infamous Razon’s Halo-Halo has branched out in Araneta, Cubao. Since then, I’ve promised myself its-a-must that I try it. When my friend Rizza asked me to accompany her to Gateway in Cubao, we had our dinner at Razon’s. We ordered Sizzling Steak Bulalo (beacause it looked so good in their poster, puto and dinuguan, and of course, their mouth-watering halo-halo.
