Guilty Pleasure: Häagen-Dazs


I hoard and joined the bandwagon. After hearing that Haagen Dazs and Pillsbury are going to pull out in the Philippine Market, I knew I have the instinctive responsibility to satisfy my palate again.

The 5-year-old, Bronx New York born ice cream brand served my fantasies for the past 21 years. I took a sabbatical from the wellness world and allowed myself to succumb into the heavy calories that will surely nest around my ever-persistent love handles. Anyway I'll be starting Bikram and Pilates in the next few days, I told myself. 

For a while, I felt like I was slipping along the clouds. The Belgian chocolate melts as it meets my tongue. Now I regained a positive view about having sweets as treat to self every once in a while. 

Excuse me for a little camwhoring. I'm having  a sort of fling with  Häagen-Dazs. I hope I don't get so adulterous with my fitness ambitions. Teehee!

Oh Belgian, My Belgian!

Besides being a wanderlust :D

It's so surreal!
I can't get enough
I don't look so into it, do I? :D
Off it goes
I'm such a self-confessed Dazsinator :P


I promised myself it's going to be a quick post. I still have to get ready for work. Saving lusciousness till later!

On Desserts: More than I Can Chew


I don’t want to take in more than the calories required of my body. Besides maintaining 43 to 45 kilograms of weight as my normal per ideal body mass index, I am more uptight in seeing that I am in good shape-- most of the time!

But more than just having flat tummies and body curves, I also reckon on the fact that eating desserts once in a while will help lighten stress.

Endorphins are natural hormones that block pain and create a sense of pleasure. For most, it’s what people call the “happy hormones”.  Desserts on this regard are one of the highest contributors of bodily chemicals that lead to the release of endorphins in the body giving us a feeling of euphoria.

Some of the sweet treats in my favorites-list include Jollibee’s Rocky Road Brownie and Iced Choco of Libro Atbp, a place for reading books of varied classifications at the same time for tasting pastries and cold drinks.
