Froyo, For You.

I love Frozen Yogurts!

I had my first taste of this delectable dessert while I was in Vietnam with Tita Ana and Tita Ralph. We ordered our pick of these frozen delight at Yogen Fruz in Saigon. I was hesitant to order at first, but at the end, I gave in. I ordered for a melon blended froyo with almond toppings. It was heaven! I instantly fell in love with it.
I then continued my quest for my froyo cravings back home. I heard about Lulu Belle at Serendra and I tried it too. Since I am not that adventurous when it comes to the details of my froyo, I was stuck with the staple choices. Once, I ordered a mango froyo with almond toppings. It was super creamy and has the right tart taste to it.

When I brought my cousin at Lulu Belle, she enjoyed the plain froyo with mochi as her toppings. Apparently, she was also a huge fan of frozen yogurt in the states.


I brought her to Glorietta and chose Tutti Frutti to satisfy our cravings. Since the concept of the store was self-service, we enjoyed filling our cups with original tart froyo and the toppings to match it. I had sliced mangoes and almonds. The tart was quite sour than that of Lulu Belle's but it doesn't taste bad at all.

Just recently, The White Hat opened at Glorietta too. I was intrigued on how their froyos taste like that's why I tried it out. I ordered a plain yogurt with strawberry mochi and almond toppings. I super loved it right away! I couldn't get over it that I had another cup on my way home the next day. It was such a delight having these froyo stores! They instantly uplift my mood and turns a bad day into a good one.

I am so lucky that some of my friends are froyo lovers too! The only problem is, we don't have the time to actually meet up and gossip over our cups of frozen yogurt. But, I am still looking out for that moment. And this time, I'll be able to add a cup of Red Mango froyo in my gallery of pure froyo awesomeness!

AND YES, I DO HAVE A THING WITH ALMOND TOPPINGS!

Why do I love Glee?

Why do I love thee?
Let me count the ways..

Well, enough of the diplomacy. I guess that's one of the major contributions of US hit TV series, Glee, in the world of broadcast media. For me, it was a breath of fresh air among the countless TV shows focusing on crime (I still love CSI), science, fiction and even fallacies. The charm that Gossip Girl has sent us is slowly drifting away and the comedy of 30 Rock ages along with its actors (I still love Tina Fey though).

Glee is a musical TV show that's been hitting the waves all over the world. Being a music lover as I am, I was really thrilled that such show was born. Think High School Musical without the "tweetums" moments and a huge production on song numbers that are beyond compare. From its first 13 episodes, I personally liked their performance on " Somebody to Love" and the solo performances of Finn ("Can't Fight this Feeling") and Puck ("Sweet Caroline").

Glee is about a group of high school misfits who are trying to regain their "loser" disposition by singing their lungs and hearts out. My favorite characters would have to be Rachel Berry and Cheerios coach Sue Sylvester. The exaggeration of their roles is what makes the show a laugh-out-loud fest. You don't need to be a music lover to love the show because the characters and the storyline were very well thought of.

Still, not everyone digs this. Some people finds the show "OA" and corny, and that's cool. Because the members of the William McKinley Highschool's Glee Club has really been regarded as such.

So, why do I love Glee?
