Ferrero Rocher
Bonjour!
Imagine a round-shaped chocolate, beneath
is a hazelnut coated with nutella and this chocolate is wrapped by a
golden wrapper. You're thinking of a Ferrero Rocher Hazelnut Chocolate,
right? Who wouldn't want this chocolaty and healthy bumpy chocolate
anyway? Nobody! Savvy?
Ferrero Rocher is high in fats.
In fact, it requires 66 minutes of doing housework to burn calories of
the chocolate (Caloriegallery.com). However, it could also bring
nutrients coming from its nuts and milk chocolate. Hazelnuts can help in
our fast metabolism. Fair enough for consumed fats when you eat Ferrero
Rocher. While in milk chocolate, it contains antioxidants to protect
your cells from the damaging (Parnes, 2011).
So guys, if you don't want to gain weight, take it easy. Aye!

Happy Valentines Day! Cello's Doughnuts
Hi ladies and gentlemen,
How's Valentines Day? Sorry for the late post. So here you go.
Last Monday, I thought of a gift for my love and that's a doughnut. I was not able to bake on my own so I just bought at Cello's Doughnuts near De La Salle University, Taft Avenue. The doughnuts were customized with letters and with different flavours like chocolate, cinnamon, honey-glazed, and strawberry. The letters were also baked with sizes.
Doughnuts are delicious. It provide high calories, cholesterol and joyful delight to the children to seniors. However, don't eat too much or else cavities will soon attack your teeth. And doughnuts have sugar that can raise your blood pressure (Johansson, 2011). So take it easy, take your time, enjoy the moment with your lovedone.
Anyways, with or without date, as long as you have God, family and friends you will never be forever alone. Although Valentines is all about giving love, it does not really mean lovers' love. It pertains also to friendship and family. So guys, don't feel down if you haven't one. She/He will find you by God's will. ;)

Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme
Anyeonghaseyo Chingus,
I am so tired. My family went to a trip to Pangasinan then Tarlac. It was not just tiresome, boredom and hunger almost killed me. So if this thing would happen again, I will surely bring this delightful confection, Hershey's cookies 'n' creme.
Hershey's cookies 'n' creme can be found at Mercury Drug stores or at any supermarket. Cookies n' creme was made out of white chocolate and orea bits. Since, it is white chocolate it does not contain any caffeine (Martucci, Cheryl, Jene, 2012). Although one of the effects of caffeine is keeping you awake, the chocolate is still good because oreo has calories that will give energy. This chocolate will fight tiresome and hunger of yours. It is not just, because this chocolate is delicious! Perfect combo right? The all time favorite of people in a chocolate, perfect!
