my BLUE BERRY FLOAT





During the past few weeks I had a craving for blueberry cake. Fortunately we still have a can of blueberry filling which my sister from abroad brought when she came home.  I surfed some internet sites to look for blueberry cake recipes. The cream cheese is quite expensive so I decided to make a cheaper way to make a blueberry dessert. Just like making a mango float.



So here's my recipe its easy and yummy :))

Ingredients:   Blueberry          
                    Grahams biscuit
                    All purpose cream          







1.  Crush the grahams . You can use a food processor or by beating it in mortar. ( also available in store precrushed grahams)


2.Place first the crushed biscuit  in the container ,followed by the cream then the blueberry




3. Repeat step 2 until you have reached the top of the container creating a layer.





4.After creating the layer chill it first before serving.


makes 5-6 servings :)

Below the KKK Monument


This is the K.K.K Monument  located in Metro Manila in honor of the Katipunan organization led by Andres Bonifacio (the one carrying the bolo). It was a secret revolutionary society to gain independence from the Spanish government. One can easily find this monument near the Manila City Hall and SM Manila .

When I first visited this monument I was astonished by the size and the wonderful sculpture. I was also able to appreciate my history class back then.

Little did I know that sometimes the monument also serves as a shelter for a homeless family. The vacant space below looks like a living quarters with bedroom and kitchen. Hammocks from rice sacks  serves as bed and just beside it are kitchen utensils .Seeing them not having their own house is heartbreaking. But they are destroying a beautiful  work of art and a historical monument.

Fortunately when I took this picture they were not around :))
