I Wanna Be An Ice Cream Connoisseur



I know. There's nothing like our very own Sorbetes, or what others might call "Mang Untoy's Dirty Ice Cream" ("Mura na, marumi pa!"), but i just happen to lurve and live ice cream!!! And in this my lousy confession, i wouldn't mind being betrayed by my expensive drooling over a Rolls Royce ice cream - Haagen Dazs.

Whenever i pass by a Haagen Dazs parlor, i always get a single scoop of Belgian Chocolate on a cone, but early this year, when they came out with the Dark Chocolate Orange flavor, i thought maybe this might get me a decent dose of Resveratrol and save me half of my guilt so i went ahead and tried it. It wasn't bad. Actually, it was hella good. So one time, after seeing Twilight with my sister, we went to Haagen Dazs on our way out. I was lazy so I just asked my sister to get me the Dark Chocolate Orange. But they ran out so i decided not to get anymore. But she insisted. I considered it again and read the name plates from the outside to check the flavors. The Rum Raisin actually sounded good. So i got it. Man, it was soooooooo goooooood! While devouring the ice cream and unconsciously racing with my sister, i stopped and thought, "how can these people come up with intelligent flavors like this?" Man, i wanted to become an ice cream connoisseur right there and then. Which made me think again, oh no, i still can't get myself to eat the green tea ice cream. Oh, never mind. I went back to devouring my Rum Raisin. This, being the ice cream devourer, would better suit me.
