In the Form of a Milkshake

Although I visited Sebastian’s during the holiday season, it was noticeable there were so few restaurants and shops open at the mall, almost outnumbered by the seemingly unoccupied spaces. I did get lost because the mall is comprised of two buildings connected by floors that serve as bridges; I entered the one that did not have Sebastian’s, so I had to look for it. I did not see any concierge and the guards were always either on the side of the floor opposite me or at the far end.

The Last Flavor I Wanted

Because I wanted to try as much as I could, I asked if they still offered the half scoops, a promo I knew they offered at one of their former branches. The staff said yes. But they couldn’t say how much it would be because it depended on what flavors the customer would choose; they did say a customer could choose up to four half scoops of any flavor they want.

Unthinkable and Unexpected

Despite the joy and relief after the resignation, I knew that there would be an underlying drag. I knew I would fall into a rut. Jake knew how to get me out of it.

Making Mud Pie Milkshake at Sebastian’s

Sunday at BGC | Wolf and Fox Gastropub | Farmacy

Have you ever been to Bonifacio Global City (BGC) on a Sunday? Unless I am wrong, I haven’t—until last Sunday.

Just Ice Cream for Company | Sebastian’s Ice Cream

“Just ask nicely.” I didn’t get why I had to remind myself that. I’ve asked for free tastes at Sebastian’s Ice Cream shop many times before. Then again, before, I was never alone. Before, I had friends with me. Before, I had someone with me. Now it’s just me. Guess it’s one for the books:…

Leche Flan Ice Cream Sandwich | Daily Prompt: You, the Sandwich

If a restaurant were to name something after you, what would it be? Describe it. (Bonus points if you give us a recipe!) “Mati” would be an ice cream sandwich. But not just any old ice cream sandwich, mind you! First off, with the star of the show: leche flan ice cream. Yes, there is…

Summer Wars | Daily Prompt: Singin’ in the Rain

Safe inside, toasty warm, while water pitter-patters on the roof… describe your perfect, rainy afternoon. The kettle whistles. I go to turn off the stove. With a kitchen mitt, I pick up the hot kettle and pour the water into my mug. I stir in the hot chocolate and milk with a dash of cinnamon…

Things That Pill Could Never Supply You With | Daily Prompt: Red Pill, Blue Pill

If you could get all the nutrition you needed in a day with a pill — no worrying about what to eat, no food preparation — would you do it? I would try it for only a week, long enough to experience and short enough to quit while ahead. No, I do not want to…
