It’s been five months since we opened our small [snackhouse](https://ecency.com/hive-188409/@jane1289/opening-my-small-snackhouse-les-teanbites) right in front of our house. It used to be our grocery store back in 2013, but it was closed and left unused during the pandemic until I decided to open it just last May. The once old and rotting building was finally [renovated](https://ecency.com/hive-188409/@jane1289/negosyo-update-revamping-store-and-unboxing-orders) and turned into a snackhouse, something that benefits not only my family but also our neighbors who love snacks. Now, they don’t have to go all the way to the town proper just to buy some.


In this short video, I’m introducing our six best-selling milk tea flavors: dark chocolate, cookies and cream, ube, matcha, cheesy mango, and avocado. I used to offer more flavors, but I decided to keep the ones our customers love the most.


*(I finally have a Canva pro, so I tried to make this kind of video using it :). This was just a trial.)*

For our ingredients, I use the [Top Creamery](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fs.shopee.ph%2F3qEmjgPm5G%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExQ1NSYnJoRmZmcElzdUtUawEeK6usPGGNBvluHb_LmilJYqRTPibgyIcQJTD0FhG98BGuZ06TSgG-AO3TJvI_aem_-CvsvGpZtwxS3U8t1T9e9A&h=AT2PXtrMm9xxfMQu6meerafHIX4jj951XEAlowQ7MWoegCZLML3DsOxI9KlSdAFlh-iH60GwnoXESyis96QyAR9jrmYYIMN2YTRU4-y-hdeiQu-ZWp0Rg41OK2jdqVEPZJ9PpA) brand because it’s both high-quality and budget-friendly. I once thought about franchising a popular milk tea brand, but then I realized I could just make my own version for a lot less. Plus, it’s easier now since most ingredients are available online.


Our milk teas are also more affordable compared to other shops in town. The profit isn’t huge, just enough to restock supplies and pay a few bills. So I can honestly say this business won’t make me rich, lol. My main goal was really to bring life back to the abandoned building. In the future, if this snackhouse doesn’t work out anymore, we can always try a new business in the same space instead of letting it go to waste again.

What’s your favorite milk tea flavor? Have you tried any of these yet? I know milk tea started in Asia, but it’s nice to see how the trend has spread to other countries, too.

That’s all for today. Have a nice day!

*Thanks for your time.*

Yesterday, Sunday on our end, was a lazy rainy day. I honestly wasn’t even excited to open the shop. Weather like this just makes me want to curl up in bed, hug my pillows, and stay under the blanket. After all, it was Sunday. Still, we managed to open the shop around noon.

Rainy days like this are also perfect for enjoying hot dishes. In the Philippines, we usually cook warm delicacies during the rainy season.

We were happy when Mom prepared something special for our siesta. She made *totong*, a rice porridge cooked in coconut milk with red beans.

While Mom was busy with the *totong*, I experimented with a snack using the [8-in-1 sandwich maker](https://ecency.com/hive-120586/@jane1289/sweet-delights-and-my-new-collection) I recently bought. I don’t even know what to call it. I just used the cookie-shaped plate of the sandwich maker.

I mixed coconut flakes, pancake flour, water, and sugar. For the filling, I added chocolate and cheese. The result was amazing. It tasted like soft cookies with a taste of *puto* or rice cake. I even thought about adding it to our shop’s menu, maybe with different fillings.



When everything was ready, I made a cup of hot chocolate using unsweetened cocoa powder. The taste was so comforting, and it paired perfectly with the *totong* and my newly discovered snack.


I made a short video of the process. I hope you enjoy it!

Happy Hive Power Up day.

Don't forget to power up!

*Thanks for your time.*

13 October 2024

It's been a few months since our #FamilyVacation in Hong Kong, but I have yet to finish sharing our complete journey here. I thought I needed to finish the Disneyland series now because I still have a batch of stories to share about our Macau trip.

After our [magical ride](https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@jane1289/wpsblumw) at [Arendelle, the World of Frozen](https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@jane1289/exploring-arendelle-the-world-of), we proceeded in front of the **Castle of Magical Dreams** to watch the night event. I was aware that the show would start at eight in the evening but we positioned ourselves beforehand to get a better spot. It's better to be early than not to watch the show well behind the crowd. Our little Breiana fell asleep that time so we took the chance to take some souvenir shots in front of the pretty castle. Nothing has changed with the castle's color even after adding the Frozen Arendelle in the park. However, it now has a multi-sensory effect which is the main attraction during the night event.


The castle looks even more spectacular at night. People gradually poured in front of it, and we were lucky to get a better spot before the borderline. Meanwhile, those with special access occupied the space before us, so when the show started, the tall ones blocked our view, lol. We were supposed to lie on the ground while watching, but when the show started, some people stood up, and everyone followed. What a nice setting! I mean, the opposite, lol.


I set up my tripod and camera to capture the event. I was expecting a group of performers on the front stage *(just like before)* performing Frozen-themed performances, but to my surprise, it was a different one. Later I learned that it'll be all about **Momentous,** a spectacular night show filled with music, light effects, fireworks, and magical experiences.


Since I was using my camera to record a video, the following photos were taken from the video recording. Because of the loud music and cheers of the crowd, my little niece woke up. It was even better because I wanted her to watch the transformation of the castle's multi-sensory effects, and listen to different Disney music. It was truly spectacular and people couldn't help but sing along with the music and be amazed by the effects and fireworks.

This 20-minute nighttime event is musical storytelling featuring several Disney moments along with hundreds of Disney and Pixar characters. We were amazed by its world-class multi-media effects, magical lighting, 3D projections, water fountains that synchronized with music, and spectacular fireworks that illuminated the sky. In some parts, we couldn't help but groove with the music and my little niece truly loved it, especially the transition of the 3D projections, dancing fountain, colourful light effects, and fireworks. This show makes one recall different childhood Disney movies and old special moments when watching them.

Different original Disney soundtrack and Disney moments were played that brought the Castle of Magical Dreams to life with its main anthem, ***"Love The Memory".*** As if it encourages every viewer, especially the group of families watching the show, to live each day beautifully and cherish the wonderful moments with loved ones. And to everyone watching this video, I do hope that you would do the same in the outside world. Let's ***create and cherish meaningful memories with loved ones and love those memories forever***. You should watch the video to know what I am talking about :)

The nighttime event ended with spectacular fireworks that put everyone in awe and left wonderful memories in our minds. Our magical experience with Momentous was truly unforgettable and worth watching. It's a must-watch event in Disneyland Hong Kong. In case you want to visit Disneyland in the future, don't forget to wait for the night and watch this spectacular Momentous magical event.

Everyone looked tired already, especially my mom because we only stood on the ground until the end of the show. It was tiring, especially since we were carrying a quite heavy kid, but was worth it and she enjoyed it so much.


We strolled along [Main Street](https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@jane1289/main-street-usa-disney-and) after. It was brought to life as well with the lights and effects that illuminated the street. As if people didn't want to leave the place, it was still crowded even after the final event. We took several souvenir shots because as I told my family, there might be no chance again in the future, so seize the opportunity.



This experience left us with mixed emotions, pure joy, awe, and fulfilment. Those memories linger in our minds, and I hope to the kid as well, so that someday when she grows up, she will recall that once in her childhood life, she's been to the happiest place on earth, the Disneyland.

|https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jane1289/23vsSoZB9QNNjyuaytPu3zNccTggysdSWcbRUPqEp1SAb3QdN9LfnigLEny3W5Ni1Nkgj.jpg|https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jane1289/23tvgX2cUMnLFnhBcVmPgZAPHgFyk5xZ3k99JrUZLuHyYtc4cZUA4UJHgZfxisgoJk8Xa.jpg|

|-|-|

There was a sense of euphoria and fulfilment when I left the place. At the same time, a sense of sadness because I'll be leaving the country soon and still uncertain as to when will I be back again. Nonetheless, the feeling after this night was something that would stay long, and as if we carried a bit of magic back home with us.

Have you read about [Arendelle at the World of Frozen](https://ecency.com/hive-163772/@jane1289/exploring-arendelle-the-world-of)? If not, navigate this link and immerse yourself in this fantastic Frozen wonderland. After exploring Arendelle and riding the sliding sleigh at Wandering Oakens, we visited the Arendelle Tower. I asked my mom to come with me to check out the place and see what exciting things we could do there.


It took us about thirty minutes to get through the long line. I got more excited as we stayed longer in line to see what was at the end of it. Additionally, it was already afternoon, and I still had other places I wanted to see.


I thought the group of Frozen characters would put on a show. But at the end of the line, there was a waterway with floating boats. That meant there was another fun ride.


The new adventure and storytelling began as we hopped into the boat!

*Once upon a time, on a lovely afternoon, a mother and her daughter excitedly ventured into the winter wonderland on a gliding boat. Gently, they glided to the countryside, and on their way, they encountered an adorable snowman with his deer friend. A familiar music echoed in the place. While listening to the music and amused by the snow creature, they felt like they also wanna build a snowman.*


*They continued their journey and reached the end of the winter forest. It was the valley of the Living Rock where the leader was telling stories to the troll. The cute trolls were listening intently to the beautiful story about the lovely sisters.*

|https://images.ecency.com/DQmUm1i9ELv8Dg6Eirm4HVYNKWRcodEPywNq3U8qDrMqrZB/img_20240626_183206.jpg|https://images.ecency.com/DQmW6nuYF19149fLV5fqPdvUKcruMkDVRM3HaVVBJe6eedU/img_20240626_183210.jpg|

|-|-|

*Moving forward, they entered the gate of the icy castle. It looked magical and enchanting. They were greeted by the adorable snowman gliding cheerfully on the icy staircase while singing in an opera voice.



*'For the first time and forever' was stuck in their mind as the familiar song played continuously. A lovely couple was singing the song with their cute uke instrument. Meanwhile, they were amused by the funny look of the deer with his tongue stuck in the icy fence.



*They continued their journey and encountered a beautiful princess standing on her balcony and casting magic all over the place. She let go of her magic, synchronized with the familiar song, and created more visual and magical effects in the hall.*


*As the princess hit the best part of the song, the mother and daughter's boat plunged backward all of a sudden, which surprised them in an amusing way. They thought it was the magical thrilling part of their adventure.*


*After a while, their boat was twisted, turned, and plunged forward into the dark part of the wilderness, which made them scream in excitement. A giant snowman appeared with its soldiers. They are rather cute, not scary. The experience added more thrill to their adventure.*


*They were expecting more fun in their adventure, but sadly, it came to an end. They returned to the kingdom safely, just in time before the grand celebration started. The sky turned magical when snowflakes and fireworks were lit.*


*Before they leave the kingdom, they are serenaded with a joyful song by a happy family to express their gratitude, which also shows that harmony is finally restored in the whole kingdom.*


***Fin.***

It was an unforgettable musical ride with my mom. Our journey was filled with heartwarming storytelling, familiar magical music, and stunning visual effects.


Walking down the hall after our ride, we saw photos on digital frames. Those pictures were taken during the exciting part of the ride when Elsa let go of the chorus of *"Let It Go"* and we suddenly plunged backward. You can see my mom and me in the end-row seat. I was covered by the head before me, though.


It was a worthwhile ride, which lasted for about fifteen minutes and was way better than the sliding sleigh. I regretted not filming the whole journey because I wanted to take some photos, so the video wasn't continuous.

You can check it on 3Speak! I also added some scenes at the Arendelle and our sliding sleigh adventure ride. Although it was a short ride, it was still fun.

If you wish to see the whole magical boat ride, you can check this video I saw on YT. You can watch it [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lODFTpWbLHQ).

***With wide eyes and a heart full of cheer, Breiana's first river cruise adventure happened!***

After my family's first river cruise adventure, a warm, lingering joy carries the memory of glistening waters, the rhythm of the river's flow, the fun encounter with the wild, and the thrilling adventure while cruising. It was a mix of wonder, curiosity, and excitement for my little niece. She sure had fun on her first river cruise adventure.


We ventured into the jungle after watching the [Disney & Pixar Parade](https://ecency.com/hive-163772/@jane1289/main-street-usa-disney-and) at the Main Street USA - Disneyland Hong Kong. Fun and joy left the street as we embarked on a new, exciting adventure. I planned to visit the jungle because my little niece would love the river cruise. It's one of my favorite spots at Disneyland.



She was pretty tired but still on the go. She loves seeing boats, but she loves riding on them more, especially on her first river cruise.


The view of Tarzan Tree House. It looks different from the first time I saw it. The body part of the tree is now covered with a seemingly jungle net, and the house looks bigger compared to before. After the renovation, it looks even better. I wonder if tourists can explore the tree house. Otherwise, it's just an under-rated display along the river.



Despite the long queue, they remained as excited as I was during my first experience. I couldn't wait to show my little niece and family the wild friends waiting along the riverside. She can't wait to ride on the boat.


While on the cruise, I loved catching her cute expressions as she wandered her curious eyes around with her eyes and mouth wide open, amused by what she was seeing along the river.

The wild friends were waiting, surprising every guest on the boat, especially the little girl. Elephants, zebras, giraffes, rhinos, crocodiles, gorillas, monkeys, snakes, and other African Saffari wild animals in the jungle added a thrilling and exciting experience to the trip.

I learned one thing from this trip, which I got from the lady Skipper. "The male zebra is white with black stripes, while the female zebra is black with white stripes." After thinking about what she said, I realized that whatever the color of the male and female, they both look the same; they both have black and white stripes, lol. I then Googled it, and the result stated that "the male zebra is bigger in size and has a wider black stripe than the female." At least I understand it better than what the lady Skipper said.

It was a wonderful river cruise trip worth queueing, which is common in different Disneyland adventure spots. The enthusiastic lady Skipper added fun to the experience. At the end of the journey, visitors can explore the whole jungle, buy souvenirs at Professor Porter's Trading Port, or watch the Lion Show at the theater, which we should have done, but we were pretty late when we arrived there. If we want to watch the Lion Show, we must wait until five in the afternoon. Thus, we opted to visit other attractions instead. Our goal was to visit attractions as many as we can.

Back when you were a kid, have you also imagined clouds as fluffy cotton pillows floating through the sky? I remember watching a kid's show back in the day where the main young character hopped onto the clouds. I imagined the softness of it, and I wished I could touch the clouds too someday. When I watched a TV show where there were treasures at the end of the rainbow, I wished to climb the rainbow and slide down to the end to find the treasures too.

Admit it or not. That's how we think back in the day, making impossible things possible in our imaginations and believing those fantasy stories on television. Is there heaven above the sky? I guess you thought of that too when you were a kid.


When I was young, I wished to ride a plane to see the clouds and sky above. I wished to experience what it felt like to cross through a sea of clouds. I wanted to know why the sky was blue. Although it was explained in school, I was always curious. 

Believe it or not, It was only in 2013 when I first rode a plane. I was twenty-four years old. Although it was only a domestic flight, I felt like my wish about seeing clouds above the sky had come true. I felt like I was in a state of euphoria the whole course of my flight, but nervous at the same time. However, since I wasn't in the window seat, I failed to take photos of the clouds during my very first flight. 

My first flight was followed four years later, when I dreamed of traveling abroad. So each time I fly overseas, I always take the window seat to watch the clouds from above, hoping to spot a rainbow or catch the sunset. I was very happy on my recent flights to Manila, Tacloban, and back to Hong Kong as I witnessed the sunset and spotted a rainbow for the first time. 

Can you imagine this beauty? It was a magical golden hour. It was as if there was a surge of awe and happiness that awakened my soul. I couldn't keep myself from taking photos of it. On my next flight, I spotted a rainbow. Childhood memories flashed through my mind. It was the very first time I saw a rainbow after many years.  



In the middle of overwhelming emotions when crossing the sky, there is a sense of calmness and humility. That's another reason why I always take the window seat, and I don't really care if I pay an extra fee just to get one. 




Seeing the beautiful scenery above somehow helps dissipate the stress and whatever sad emotions I'm dealing with inside me. I feel like the world is so small that I could easily cross from one end to another. I cross vast oceans and mountains in just one sitting. How amazing it is, right? How much more if I  see the sunset and rainbow up close. It was a wonderful journey. 

You can watch the short video with some thoughts to ponder.

Thanks for your time.

Happy weekend hustlers! It was gloomy on my part of the world with intermittent rain showers. I'm starting to feel the real Autumn weather now since it was like summer in the past few weeks even though in the autumn period. The effect of Climate Change for sure.

Anyhow, today I'll share with you the recent animal show we watched at Manila Ocean Park. For an underwater experience at Oceanarium, you may watch the short video uploaded on 3Speak. Feel the scene of the aquatic world as if you were navigating in the water world. It's fascinating and magical under the deep ocean, and calming at the same time. 

Meanwhile, at the animal show, the birds were pretty smart! I was amazed by how a bird solved a mathematical problem. Others showed their amazing stunts and talents. The last show features another set of intelligent animals, sea lions. It was shameful to think of the fact that these sea lions are pretty more talented than me, lol. They would showcase their talents along with some stunts. They would groove to the music with their trainers. They would make a salute, clap their hands, play the ball, backflip in the water, and do something else. Such talented creatures are truly entertaining to spend time with. The trainers, of course, are commendable for putting effort into training animals. Their skills were unleashed because of them.

Enjoy the ThreeShort and happy weekend!

***"Happiness is making your loved ones smile and laugh genuinely."***

I must admit that in my entire life, I can't remember the last time I spent quality time with my mom. As I stepped out of college, my life focused more on making a living, while my mother's focused more on taking care of our family. We barely had time for each other. Not even for intimate mother-daughter talk. We live in the same family, but we seem to be in different worlds.  

During my vacation in the Philippines, we had more time to bond after my father's burial. Since we often go to the city, I took the chance to let her experience new things because most of her life had been isolated only in the four corners of our home, performing her duties as mother and wife. 


We went to **Ramen 99** one day when we were looking for a place to have our late lunch. The food shop serves Japanese ramen for as low as Php99 or less than $2. It was the most affordable ramen restaurant I ever encountered, so I didn't think twice about entering the place to let my mom taste Japanese food and hear her feedback on it.


This self-service restaurant has a minimalistic Japanese interior with comic walls. Reading the comic walls is somewhat entertaining, which is great while waiting for the orders to be served.

Here is the ramen of different flavors they serve in this restaurant.


Since I don't like flavored soup bases, I opted to order the ordinary one, Kyu Kyu Ramen, with a plate of gyoza or dumplings. The same order was made for my mother.

Before entering the restaurant with the thought of eating noodles, I knew it would be a struggle for my mom to eat using chopsticks. The funny thought of her doing so was already in my mind, and I intended to teach her. I looked for a fork in case she wouldn't get the proper way of using chopsticks, but to no avail. The way she held it was already wrong, lol.

My fat mama 🤣


I saw her picking up the noodles using chopsticks, so I initially thought she knew it. Upon seeing her fingers, she wasn't holding them properly, loo.


She thought she was clever enough, but look at her hand 🤣. Chopsticks areclosed,d as she just grasped them both tightly. I never thought it would be harder to teach someone how to use chopsticks than my first time usingthem.  Nobody taughtme;, I just learned through my initiative. Besides, I needed to learn badly since people in my workplace are using chopsticks. 


Then the chopstick lesson began. Following my instructions, she picked up the chopsticks, and I started teaching her the proper way of holding chopsticks and picking up food.


She would follow at first but still end up grasping the chopsticks tightly, as if afraid that the food would fall. In the video, you'll see how I tried to teach her, but her fingers seemed stiff and she couldn't properly hold chopsticks. 



Looking at her struggling to properly hold chopsticks and pick up the noodles, my tutorial ended up throwing laughter, especially seeing my mom's facial expressions. I couldn't keep myself from laughing at her, and we ended up laughing together. 



She managed to pick up noodles using chopsticks in her own way. She even learned how to pick the dumplings without my help, even though it wasn't proper, lol.

When everything seemed to end up in vain as she was hard to teach, I shared with her another way of eating noodles using a spoon along with chopsticks. Just scrape the noodles onto the spoon using chopsticks, and viola! It was easier. We both finished the big bowl of ramen, but I did it before her.



This chopstick tutorial became a source of laughter, as I kept laughing throughout the session. Hearing her laughter and seeing her funny face brought me happiness. We had never done such a thing before, so I felt genuinely happy.

I couldn't agree more when they said that *"it's a privilege to live most of our lives in a province."* Even though provincial life is simple, you can still live a content and happy life. You'll get a chance to switch off from technology and pay attention to your surroundings. Additionally, it's a place to connect with nature while admiring its beauty.

The splendor of nature is around even when traveling to the city. It is a never-ending, completely free nature viewing. And just staring at them is relaxing.

View from inside the jeepney

There are a few ways to travel from our town to the main city. We can travel either by land or water. It may be a hassle trip, but the experience is great. However, it depends on how you perceive it, bad or good. Everything has bad sides anyway. It's far way different from Hong Kong transportation. I've been used to riding trains: convenient, fast, and comfy. I just wish that our country will be as developed as others, and mode of transportation will be improved.


When we wish to avoid congested roads, we choose to travel by water. Despite the improvements to the main roads, traffic is something that has not changed. By water, however, we must travel from our village via *habal-habal* or motorbike taxi to the port where we would board a small ferry to the city. Another trip will be taken inside the city. In other words, it typically requires up to three different rides to get us to our goal. Kind of hassle, isn't it? Being close to nature is a benefit of living in the province, but road congestion is a problem.



But instead of feeling stressed about transportation hassles, I just wander my eyes around beautiful creatures of nature.


We call our beautiful town, Basey, which is pronounced as *Basay*, and the people are called Basaynon or *Mabaysay* which means beautiful. This is our humble town which is one of the survivors of the strongest typhoon Yolanda in Philippine history.


Meanwhile, this is the entrance to our *Baranggay* or village. That white building from the distance is our former store which is now closed, and below it is our house.



Look at that greenery and mountainous backdrop. There are a lot of mountains in our province, but I don't dare to hike them. Aside from the fact that it isn't safe to hike without a guide, the trails aren't good which could make one lost in the woods.


Hopefully, someday, I will be able to hike some mountains in our town.

You probably know that I am an occasional trying-hard chef who likes experimenting recipes using the ingredients on hand. Sometimes successful, sometimes not. But it is still me who eats my food anyway 🤣.

I recently cooked red beans for my viand and I thought of using the leftovers to make mochi since I saw a video online. We also have tapioca flour in the pantry, so why not do another experiment? Mochi is usually made from glutinous rice flour. But since I have none, I used the available tapioca flour. It is sticky as well, so I thought it'd be good for making mochi too.

So in this recipe, I tried making economical mochi using ingredients on hand. I used matcha powder, banana, and leftover red beans for fillings.


This was my first time making mochi, so I was uncertain of the outcome. If you want to know how I made mochi, you can watch my video on ThreeShorts ☺️.


Making mochi is just easy. There are many tutorials on YouTube. But sometimes, expectations versus reality are truly different. Easier to watch than do the process, as they said.

So first, I mixed the tapioca flour, sugar, and water. Next, I transferred the mixture into a small pot and then boiled it on a low fire until it formed a paste. I had to cool it down first before kneading and filling the mochi.


The mixture is sticky so coat it with flour before kneading. I didn't really knead it. I just coated it with flour, made small balls, then filled them with fillings. That's how easy it was!

Yep! Too easy to imagine. Unfortunately, as you can see in the final output, the mochi doesn't seem appealing, lol. After making a few balls, I got pissed off and decided to make long and bigger mochi, and put more fillings in it, lol.


Was it successful?

Nope, it wasn't. I realized that tapioca flour isn't suitable for making mochi with fillings. Just look at the photo above, the mochis aren't well-shaped and some fillings came out. I also realized that, I should have not crashed the banana. It's watery making it ooze out from the mochi balls.

Tapioca flour is only good for making warabi mochi. It has no fillings, but rather coated with soybean flour just like in the photo below. It is easier to make than those with fillings. I should have done this instead. It was too late to realize my mistake, lol.

After chilling for long hours, it surprisingly tasted better. I even saved some for the next day.


And in that afternoon, I savored my unsuccessful tapioca mochi recipe, as if it wasn't a failure, lol. But honestly, I felt like I was eating a slime 🤣. Tapioca is so chewy. At least, I learned from my mistakes and I better do it properly next time.

Well, this looks better, I guess? 😅

So this is Chef Jane once again with my failed mochi experiment. See you in my next cooking time 🤪.

Thanks for stopping by.
