where the love is in a cup of frozen dairy sweets

If you should know, somewhere in this mess of a blog, I posted my love of KFC krushers. It was the caramel crunch variety that I loved first, but sad to say, it did not last long like the other flavors. Oh well.

Then last year, I was sent here to Pasig for training. It was then, that I was brought to a frozen delightful corner that introduced me to and I fell in love at first sip with Caramel Moolatte. Yes, it's Dairy Queen! It's creamy-sweet and sinful just the way I like it. And I enjoyed at least one cup every day for the next week after that. It was baaad! Ha Ha Ha.

Now, that love story was short-lived. :( I had to go back home to Cebu, where Dairy Queen has not conquered yet. I hope to see DQ in my hometown soon. And I've been missing my caramelly chilled love-joy ever since.

Two days ago, I came back to Manila and was of course excited to try Dairy Queen again. I heard they had some new flavors. I've been swamped with things to do that it was only today, I got the time to hunt for the nearest Dairy Queen station.

Happiness. In. A. Cup. sip sip sip... and I let the flavor play around my mouth. Oooh bliss!

As I was going back to my hotel, I dropped by Podium to stroll and window-shop. One stall caught my eye and I knew that I got to try it. I almost didn't believe that the tubs on the freezer contained ice cream. They looked like the stuff you use as toppings on a soft ice cream. Hmm interesting. The girl at the counter gave me a free taste and so tried different flavors. Wow, it really is a fun way to eat ice cream. I purchased and enjoyed the orange & coffee cheesecake combo in a regular cup. I also realized that orange flavored ice cream is promising. Yey! So I've found a new love. Oh, and by the way, did I saythat it's Dippin' Dots?

You should try it. And if you have, tell me if bubble gum taste good coz I'm planning to get another cup tomorrow. ;-)

It's summer and it's really warmer than usual. But I can beat the sun's heat as long as I can enjoy my cup of frozen dairy sweets. So should you.

My new love

I love coffee. I enjoy coffee. But to be clear I’m not really a coffee person like my boyfriend who used to drink about 4 or 5 cups or mugs a day, if you will, in the

office. One reason is caffeine makes me sleepy, which is unusual! But every time

I drink coffee, it never fails to make me fall asleep. Weird, I know...

So why do I love coffee? The bittersweet taste and the aroma can make anyone smile. Coffee can make me want to clap my hands like a little girl. NOTE: I always do this when I’m happy or excited.

My favorites are mocha frap at Starbucks and caramel ice-blended coffee at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. They really perk me up but only for a while before I start dozing off.

Then, of course, there’s ice cream. There are a lot of ice cream flavors and brands. I love Gelatissimo liquor chocolate but it won’t top my Cornetto coffee caramel. Anytime, I’d feel exhausted or just plain blah, I can go down to the nearest convenience store and eat Cornetto coffee caramel. Just bliss. Mmmm mm!

Now let me share with you my new love. It’s KFC krushers caramel crunch! A slash between coffee and ice cream, it made me fall in love all over again. Try it and you’ll taste a piece of heaven.

When I got back to the office from leave to Kuala Lumpur, they surprised me with cake (a team tradition) and my very own tarpauline.

Thank you so much Dispatch team! You’re 8 reasons I get up everyday to work nights. J
