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.

Pranela Pajama

Helping Manang V with the Clothes Pins

Two days ago Manang V had asked if I had any clothes pins to hold on a garment that needed to be hung after being laundry. Manang V felt if she hung it the clothing would fall off hung outside in our backyard. I told Manang V I've already used up all the clothes pins. I decided to purchase some clothing clips in order for Manang V to feel she can use it when she does her laundry again. I was able to find a seller selling for one kilo worth of clothes pins sound great having a lot in handy for Manang V and I. Today the clothes pins had arrived. Manang V gave me her where she has a hanging hanger to hold on her items. I saw it was missing a lot of clothes pins no wonder Manang V was so worried hanging her garments outside. Manang V didn't know how too attach the clothes pins to the hanger she gave me. I had used a thick thread and knot it while I was adding the clothes pins to each area where it was missing. Manang V no longer has to worry hanging garments outside for those who w...
