Making desserts on TV



Being interviewed on TV happened to me numerous times, primarily about digital media and social media stuff. But this is my first time to do a live demo making desserts on TV.

It feels a bit scary. Bringing my brand on live television and making it myself. I made a local version of an Asian dessert called Cendol. Its a green bean based dessert which resembles halo-halo in our country. Its mostly composed of sweetened fruits in season on a bowl of crushed ice with milk and a little sugar.

The interviewer was a friend, broadcaster Alfie Tulagan of GMA TV 10, and his ever- talented cameraman.

The ingredients were :

1. Cendol
2. Sweet Potato
3. Langka/ Jackfruit
4. Red beans
5. Crushed ice
6. Fresh milk
7. Sugar (optional)

Will upload the video on my Youtube Channel.

Internet Addiction and How to Stop It

Today was indeed not a normal day for me. I don’t usually wake up early for a discussion. Especially if its at 5:00 o’clock in the morning. But because Melanie Heng of ABS-CBN ( a tv network in the Philippines) asked for an interview in their morning show Bagong Umaga, bagong Balita, I did go to the studio. The discussion was about online addiction, internet addiction, addiction to social media sites, online games and other forms of digital distractions that id borne about by the internet. There are instances when kids and the youth are so into social media sites and online games that their behaviour dramatically change over time.

They become overly obsessed with their online personas and think that the universe revolves around...

Decoding the myth of Taal through Club Balai Isabel

The Taal Volcano is believed to be the smallest volcano in the world. Its also located in the Philippines. The best way to go to the volcano island and personally see its crater is through Club Balai Isabel in Talisay Batangas. Club Balai Isabel Batangas should be your next destination. It has all the great things needed for a complete summer getaway. Nestled along the coast of Lake Taal, this first-class resort offers a wide range of exciting activities for the family, for the barkada, for the team and for organizations big or small. My daughter and I, together with fellow bloggers stayed in a villa a few steps near everything. From the restaurant to the pool, to the lake, it was perfect for a group of 10 or more. We were  warmly welcomed by the staff and crew. Gave us refreshing welcome drinks after we toured  the club premises. Just looking at the pool beside the restaurant relaxes the senses and we stayed there until lunch time. Club Balai Isabel serve...
