My top ten best chocolates of all time








For the love of chocolate, I've always been a chocolate addict since i was a kid, and i just can't stop eating those precious little dark sweets that melts in your mouth. Oh my. But as i grow up i tried not to eat too much of these sweets because i became health conscious. I think i love fruit smoothies now more than chocolates. But whenever i still have the chance to eat chocolates i still do but of course with limitations. For those who are still obsessed with these brown wonders. Here are My Top Ten best chocolates of all time. I didn't include high-end chocolates. I will try to make another list for those.


# 10 Kitkat- This is just one of the chocolates that I've loved since i was 6th grade. It wasn't popular then but my classmate insisted that it was good. The very first time i tasted it, It was good. but now i can taste a big difference, i don't know if it's me or the taste changed.

# 9 Curly tops- for those who haven't heard of it, it's beacuse it's only in the Philippines. well, I don't know if they export it. This chocolate is not super delicious but there is something about this chocolate that i like. If you haven't seen one,you can check it on: http://gitaasuncion.blogspot.com/2007/12/curly-tops.html

#8 Meiji black - This dark chocolate from Meiji is one of the chocolates that lasts in my fridge. because i don't need to eat it in just one sitting. A small piece is enough for a day.

#7 Snickers - one of my high school favorites, i used to tell myself that too much of this is too much... fat. but this old school favorite is # 7 on my list.

#6 Nestle Crunch- I just love this chocolate not to mention the ridges of the candy bar. A combination of just crisped rice and milk chocolate is already a pleasure.

# 5 Hershey's Cookies and cream - this is already a classic to me, whenever i feel like eating white chocolate with a twist of cookie i just grab this candy and off i go.

#4 Cadbury Time out- yes the kitkat version of Cadbury. But there is a big difference of course... its the wafer.

#3 Hershey's Kisses extra creamy with almonds- this is just the right size to share to everybody and the smooth chocolate is just pure pleasure.

#2 Ferrero Rocher- i love the hazel nut and the smoothness of the chocolate and don't forget the wafer.. again wafers in chocolates are such a hit on me.

#1 M & M's - This is just one of the chocolates that i just can't stop eating.. Once you started you just keep going and going but now that I'm more on conscious about my health and body. I miss this colorful candy.

Breast feeding: The benefits that won't hurt


For all the moms who are afraid to start breast feeding, read this:

I used to be one of those moms who are afraid to breastfeed. Not only that i heard it'll hurt but i'm also afraid that my breasts will sag. So in my first baby, I tried it for two weeks and i easily give up just like that. Because nobody is pushing me to breastfeed( only my doctor. She tried her best to encourage me but she never succeeded.) I was 22 then, and i was planning not to breast feed my first born so i didn't research or even ask my relatives what are the benefits of breast feeding.

Now, i regret it. my daughter who is now 5 years old is always a target of colds, cough, fever etc. She is smart and cute but she can easily get sick and i mean easily get sick. In her first 2 years she is always in bed crying. I often gave her vitamins and or medicines, but only after a month or two she is sick again. She has been hospitalized twice in her first 3 years. She developed fear of doctors because of this. And it's all my fault. Although she is now getting better every year i still thought that i should've breastfed her.

So when my second baby arrived. I initially breastfed him from the day he came. I was worried that he might be like her elder sister. So i never had second thoughts. It was painful at first. Specially my first few weeks. And i usually had a fever whenever it's swollen. But now I'm used to it and i feel no pain.I only feel happiness and everything is all worth it. Here are the latest evidence that breast feeding is the best!

  • Aside from helping our child's immune system to make it stronger, it also
  • Prevents babies from getting infected to some diseases, because there are compounds in breast milk that prevents infections that can't be found in cow's milk.
  • a stronger parent-child bond.
  • children who are breast-fed seem to cope with stress and anxiety more effectively when they reach school age.

These benefits are not only physically, mentally but also emotionally. I should've done my homework in my first pregnancy. Oh well, At least i'm happy now and I'm sharing i with you

The mummy 2008 reviews


I just saw the movie " the mummy" last week. I've always wanted to see this movie because i like the first two mummy movies. and it was really funny. Bu i don't think it was hell of a ride this time. This is just my opinion.

Honestly speaking, I was kind of disappointed, Maybe because i expected too much. Well i just like the first two ones that's all. First, it wasn't Rachel Weisz who play Mrs. Evie O'connel anymore. Although Maria Bello's acting was OK for me. I just thought that Ms. Weisz would've played the character better, The special effects is still spectacular but the story is just too light for me, i was looking for something else like i always do in other mummy movies, but i didn't find it this time. It seems like the movie started nicely but ended up with a lot of questions in my mind.

But there still one thing that made me like this movie after all. Its the Humor and Jonathan is still funny although i still think they should add more funny lines or parts to balance adventure comedy. I thought the movie still has story to tell but it ended so fast. The characters needed more connection. I dunno maybe it's just me.
