Halo-halo is a favorite dessert for many Filipinos. We enjoy this mixture of ube halaya, red beans, a scoop of leche flan, nata de coco, milk in shaved ice sometimes topped with ice cream. It's a perfect snack especially during the summer. Another favorite snack is palabok. Every time I crave for halo-halo and palabok, I would just go to Mang Inasal. You can still enjoy the winning combination of the Meatynamnam Palabok and Dabest sa Creaminess Pinoy Halo-Halo as Mang Inasal extends its promo until end of June 2019. Order the combo daily, from 2 pm until store closing -- enjoying them either in the store or bringing them home as pasalubong. Mang Inasal recently made its Palabok meatier and its price even more affordable. Combined with Pinoy Halo-Halo, the resulting combo has become one truly delicious meal – or as its tag would describe, “Masarap Twogether!” Since the promo was launched a month ago, customers have been raving about the delicious duo of Palabok and Pinoy H...

My auntie who just arrived abroad was talking about stem cell and how it could possibly help in treating of some genetic diseases. I learned about cord blood for leukemia  years ago when I was invited by Cordlife Philippines . I realized how amazingly an umbilical cord blood could save lives. Read my previous article here  to find out the benefits of cord blood banking .  Cordlife Philippines is the country's first and only DOH-registered cord blood bank and part of the largest stem cell blood banking in Asia.

What is your fondest memories related to theme parks ? Kids and I would always love to visit theme parks specially during Christmas. One of the most memorable theme park ride that my daughter and I was able to ride and try was the Super Viking at Sky Ranch Tagaytay. Her first time to try this kind of ride, it swings forward and backward and   "para kang tinatapon" and we consider it as one of the scariest but fun theme park ride experience. It was her first time ( that's why she can never forget😁😁), and every time we mention about "theme parks" , she would always remember that challenging and fun experience.
