Dairy Queen Delight

I love ice cream and I would never say no to a DQ treat! After a sumptuous lunch at Dampa sa Libis, the family went to Eastwood before heading home. It was pretty hot last Sunday and what better way to beat the heat than a cup of Dairy Queen Blizzard goodness! Yummy!

Dampa sa Libis - A Family Time

Sunday is family time. This is very common to most Filipinos including my family. Last Sunday, we went to Dampa sa Libis for a tummy-licious bonding time.

Dampa sa Libis is a restaurant that has a wet market and a dining area (air-conditioned and covered area with electric fan) and different stalls that will cook your food. Here, you get to buy your ingredients fresh!! There is a variety of seafood to choose from - fish, clams, mussels, crab, prawns, oysters etc., marinated meat and fruits. You will decide how you want them cooked and the staff will do it for you. The place offers good food with a friendly ambiance and a big parking space too. It is perfect for families and any celebrations.

I would suggest going an hour or so before lunch or dinner because you will have to wait for 30 minutes to an hour for your food to be cooked and for you to be able to get seats in the air-conditioned area  especially during summer time because it is too hot outside (depending how packed the place is).

Dampa sa Libis is highly recommended by our family! Experience it yourselves and you will know why we keep coming back.

Have a good week!!!

Help!

So I took a shower a couple of hours ago and water accidentally got into my left ear. I have been trying to remove it but failed miserably. The feeling of having something in your ear and hearing differently in one ear as compared to the other is just plain annoying and uncomfortable. Water can sometimes be stubborn!

The so called chocolate

Chocolates! One of those foods that I simply can't resist. I like it plain or with nuts, milk chocolate or dark. It's certainly one of my comfort foods.

Awhile back, my dad tried making tablea (chocolate tablets). We have a cacao tree in the front yard and he wanted to see if he can make tablea out of the cacao beans since the tree was bearing lots of it. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Tablea is traditionally used here in the Philippines to make hot chocolate and it is really good and I love it. Nothing compares to this old-fashioned chocolate drink!

There have been studies about chocolate actually being good for us, in moderation of course! Dark chocolate is said to contain antioxidants which can help the immune system, the cardiovascular system and the circulatory system. That's good news for chocolate lovers, right? It is also said to be an aphrodisiac! Personally, I eat it for pleasure. How can I resist such a sweet treat?

I got myself a purpose

I'm just sitting in my room being unproductive so why not do something that can change someone else's life?

This is my purpose: help a child - Bien Louis Fermin.

At four months old, Bien was diagnosed with biliary atresia - a disease of the liver that affects infants with an occurrence of 1 in 10,000 and is the most common reason for liver transplantation.

Every child should be given the chance to live and enjoy life to the fullest. I want to give Bien that chance by helping him raise funds for his liver transplantation. He needs your help too and this is one way of doing that - sharing his story and including him in your prayers.
