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 Race Begins


I have a story to share that I had encountered with my mom two weeks ago. I had post something on my Facebook wall it was our picture together with my mom when I had visited her for the first time. Our picture had reached to 81 likes from our family and friends. My mom was happy but she didn't inform me after I had deleted my post after one week it was there.

My mom than again called me up asking what happened to the picture that had reached 81 likes I had informed her I had deleted it because one of my friend claimed it didn't look like me. It made think to see if what my friend comment was true.

When someone had judge you how you looked and they haven't seen you for a long time you start to look at your picture over and over again.

I had realized the hard way after I had deleted the post that no one should put you down the way you looked and you have a right what you post on your social media.

After being told by my mom and my other friends they told me I shouldn't have deleted my picture if one person had asked me a questioned and why should I have been so worried in the first place.

My mom had asked me to post the same picture on her Facebook but she wanted the countdown of the like to start to 81 but that is impossible even though I had explained to her she still couldn’t understand it.

In order to prove what I was explaining to her I had post our picture together and it started from the beginning. My mom had three likes for a short time I had posted the picture for her.

My mom complained to take it down and delete the picture.

This time around I had post the same picture on both of my Facebook and my mom's now my mom feels like we're having a race to see who will like our comment our picture together.

To me it doesn't matter how many had liked my picture or comment the only reason I had post our pictures so that my family and friends would see our picture together to let me know even if we are lockdown I was able to visit my mom once in awhile after every two weeks.

It is hard to explain to someone who doesn't understand the concept of having a Facebook and how it doesn't matter how many like and comment your picture. 

You have family and friends who doesn't go online that often but they have an account but it doesn't mean you have to unfriend them because they didn't like you're picture.

This is what my mom does if you don't like her post you will automatic be on the unfriend list.

In my life I have a race with my mom from how many will like your picture and comment but how can you explain you have more friends from her list and if her friends are limited not many will like your picture.
