Ice Scramble

I used to buy this back in my elementary days. That was like ten years ago. Now, you see people eating/sipping it but not in that small pink cup anymore.

I first tasted the mall version in Farmers Cubao one Saturday. The taste is almost the same as the one I used to buy but this time, apart from the chocolate syrup, there is an option to add candy sprinkles, marshmallows, rice crispies and others. It attracted me.


Last week, hubby found its recipe and made some at home. I super enjoyed that asked him to make it again. The whole family liked it, specially Ayex. Maybe this could be a start of another business for us in the future.

For Sale: Giant Carrier Playpen/Crib

We originally bought this crib for Ayex. The thing is, my little girl likes the mattress more than this crib because we co-sleep. After a few usage, we returned it to its box. We check it once in a while to see its condition but we never use it. We reopened the box when Maxyn came and tried to make her use it. But I am breastfeeding and it is way easier to do that when co-sleeping so we boxed this crib again.

Even if we have another baby in 3 years-time, I know we’ll never make the baby use a crib. That is why we are selling this. I have posted more pictures in my Facebook account. I don’t have the dimensions yet though. You can be the next owner of this playpen/crib by paying only PhP700. You will have to pick it up in our place at Project 8, Quezon City.

New Found Hobby

Nope, not for me. At least for now. I’m talking of the hubby who has a found a new hobby. Oh it rhymes!

Going back. My hubby plays air-soft on weekends when we do not go anywhere. However, gun-ban is being enforced now in the country due to the upcoming barangay elections. This paved way for him to discover a new hobby which is biking.

Biking is a great cardio exercise and I’m glad hubby is into it to keep him in shape. He canvassed for the most affordable yet reliable parts and eventually personally assembled his bike. He even bought a graber outback bike rack so we take the bike with us when we go to Las Pinas on weekends.

The first time we brought the bike with us, it proved to be very tricky. Hubby didn’t drive fast because he’s afraid his bike and car might get scratches. Backing up the car was one of the trickiest part that it made us research about auto backup camera.

Now, hubby bikes with his friends on weekends. I’m actually tempted to ask him to buy me a bike too so I can get back my pre-pregnancy shape. I’m not yet fully solved to it yet though so I haven’t told him so.
