Fried Ice Cream!

No craft for today. I just wanna share you these photos taken I think 2 months ago. Yikes... I'm really craving for Fried Ice Cream today but unfortunately, we can't find any stall near our area so in order to have this dessert, i have to travel 2 hours away from home just to reach the stall which is located inside a mall. Anyway, this Miguelito's Fried Ice Cream is really intriguing to me. Who would have thought that Ice cream can be fried right?

Here's a quick trivia about this Miguelito's Fried Ice Cream. Miguelito’s Fried Ice Cream is a product of Miguelitos International Corporation, one of the elite franchising company known for their quality products and serve as one of the best for after sales support in this industry. Miguelitos International Corporation was owned and managed by husband and wife tandem of Marlon and Michelle Aman which was started in 2002. The company provide the highest quality of foodcart products to consumers and help interested parties establish a 100% Filipino business that is profitable and gives away 98% customers satisfaction. Information taken from their Site. Oh and they are also the people behind the latest craze, Iskrambol.

Here, i grab the opportunity to take some photos on how this Fried cream is done. Unlike the traditional way where in the ice cream is being rolled to cookie crumbs, this one has a ready make cream and they fry it using this big flat pan.

I don't know if the cream is being heated or being cooled but after a few minutes..

They started to take them off using a spatula...I guess the cream is fried because the color of it changes. Well after that, they put the fried roll ice cream to a plastic bowl and then they will let you choose whatever toppings you like.

This was Mirasol's cup. She chose Strawberry syrup and topped it with 2 strawberry heart-shaped gummies. Mine was topped with Choco syrup and sprinkled by choco crumbs. Okay now i am super duper craving to have this Fried Ice Cream Again waaah!!!

Tee Bag

Remember when i mentioned about the upcoming whole month theme for Mirasol where in she will showcase her crafts to us? I am so proud to share you guys, one of her lovely crafts. You all know that we love recycling things and this is one of her finished project! It is a Shoulder bag made from used T-shirt and scarf.

So lovely isn't?
My sister is into this new hobby now. She's doing a lot of embroidering, sewing and cross-stitching lately and she is grabbing this opportunity to share her projects to us while spending her Summer vacation. It seems that she is enjoying it a lot. Anyway, Mirasol did a lot of bag crafts but this one is my personal favorite. I think what she did here is that, she cut this Sailor suit inspired shirt into half. Then she took the upper portion of it and start sewing it to form a bag. She used the black and white checkered scarf as the bag strap. Since the shirt is very colorful already, she didn't add any details to it except that two wooden buttons.
So cute right? Actually she did something like this before but instead of T shirt, she make use of old faded pants.

This hobby will showcase your creativity and can also be a source of extra income. This is a great idea for full time moms who wants to extra earn money at home. However, if you plan to take it seriously, then use high quality materials to it. And to add more value, add some details like Swarovski beads for the outer designs. Just like this photo that we grabbed from the web.
So lovely isn't? Swarovski crystal beads are highly in demand today and has been widely used in so many kinds of accessories and jewelries. Placing this kind of beads on your bag will add more beauty and elegance. But if you think, adding Swarovski into a used shirt is such a waste, then why don't you try something else out of it.
I have a cousin who make Swarovski Jeweleries all by herself. From Earings to bracelets! Name It! She can do it all using her tools. She used to buy Swarovski crystals on a trusted dealer and then she simply use of her creativity and imagination to come up with different styles and designs. She used her finished products for personal and business purposes. How creative of my cousin right? In fact, she is encouraging my mom to try making Swarovski jewels too especially now that Swarovski beads can now be purchased online which is more convenient and less time consuming however, mom really don't have that interest in craft making so she refused haha.
Anyway, hope you like our featured project today. I will buzz more about Mirasol's upcoming Theme soon. We are just gathering all the photos that we need.
Have a great day guys and happy blogging.

Clay Arts

We just bought this clay last week. I'm not so sure about the brand but one thing i can assure you... the quality of this clay is extremely low. I guess it is kinda advisable for a one-time use only. The clay gets hard so fast.

Errr... These clay molders are included inside the clay bucket.

So cute and colorful right? But do not be deceived by their appearance.

Anyway, Milzon and Mirasol did these cute Clay Butterflies and flower.

A Clay mushroom

A 2D style Flower.
Have a great day guys. We have more projects to share soon.

Importance of Taxes

Some of you might be wondering why almost all of us are required to pay taxes. What are these taxes for? Why are we responsible for paying them? What are the benefits that we can get from it? I'm sure you also asked yourself about these questions before. Many people complain about the need to pay taxes but they don't realize the services and the benefits that they get in return for paying such taxes.
Keep in mind that without these taxes, our Government will be useless. The fund that they get from these taxes are being used by the Government for them to function effectively. Without these taxes, they will never get enough fund for their infrastructure projects. Without those infrastructures, you will never experience the enjoyment in driving. Same thing goes with other building projects including the construction of bridges, dam, public schools , hospitals and more. These taxes are also being used by our Government to pay government officials and employees which includes public teachers, doctors, and more. They are also being used to improve other services and other charitable programs.
See? Taxes are very important and as a citizen of your country, you are responsible for paying your taxes. Although these taxes have exemptions. It depends upon your income too. The higher your income is, the higher the tax you pay.
Filing taxes is very important because if you failed to file your tax and pay them in time, then you might be subjected to civil penalties. In my case, i am lucky because it is my employer who file and pay the taxes for me. They used to deduct it on my salary which is very hassle-free in my part. The only thing that i do is to check if they are paying it on time. But of course, not all companies are doing the same thing. Some require you to pay and file your own taxes. Good thing we can now do this transactions online. In fact, there are some
free tax filing services offered in some reliable sites like ESmartTax.com. This is definitely the most convenient and faster way to pay your tax.
Well, let say you can't pay your income taxes due? What are you going to do? This is where Tax Extension comes in. You can actually request for file tax extension to give you additional time to file and pay your tax.
So for those who keeps on complaining about their taxes, please see things as a whole and know where these taxes are being used and how much you can benefit from it as the citizen of your country.
