Official Start of My Summer 2013

Since the latter part of February 2013, every time I'd log in at Facebook (my favorite social networking site), I'm greeted left and right with pictures of family, friends and work acquaintances' own version of Summer 2013.  They're pictures of beach outings, some are by the pool, while others are in an exclusive hotel with breathtaking view of the ocean or the skyline.

Of these pictures, sometimes I feel envious because up to this day, I haven't gone swimming yet.  But, I have a few in line these coming months.  One I'd do with the Chua Family, another with the Santos Clan and a last one with my workmates, my Condis Family.

But today, my Summer 2013 officially starts!!! with none other than a big bowl of home-made Halo Halo!!! Yum!!!

In my calorie-filled Halo Halo are: red nata de coco, green kaong, white beans, whiter macapuno strips, teaspoonfuls of ube halaya and leche flan bought from our friendly kanto dessert maker Clarence, a couple of scoops of ube and cheese Selecta 3-in-1 ice cream, lots of shaved ice and a generous splash of Carnation evaporated milk.

Since this is a big bowl, I got a stern reminder from my Hubby that I am on diet and that I should not waste my jogging efforts of shedding off pounds.  But since its really, really hot and sweaty (besides, I do have cheat days), I moved away from him and indulged!

And so, after my Halo Halo moment, I am now ready to don my bikini (wink) and welcome Summer with open arms!!!

Have a good one, guys!!!
