Throwback Thursday: Ice Scramble Memories

I craved for chicken wings after watching a travel vlog. I randomly saw that the shop was also selling ice scramble. It's been decades since I last had ice scramble, so I added it to the order. Got busy while waiting for delivery and forgot I got it. Only remembered when I saw it on the fridge and Miggy said it was on the receipt, haha. Then I remembered what it was. 

I was surprised when I saw it had a lot of add ons. It had tiny marshmallows, chocolate chips, cream cheese, chocolate syrup and pearls. I used to buy ice scramble often from the street vendor outside the school gate. I think it was just one peso or two pesos back then. It was just pink juice with crushed ice. Manang usually added a teaspoon of powdered milk. 

I would normally put my bag in the school bus and then go down again to buy snacks. Ice scramble is a refreshing snack. I drank it while waiting for my busmates to arrive. Just saw many recipes on how to make ice scramble, maybe I'll try making some one of these days. I'll probably just make the drink and won't put the add ons. 

It was nice to try ice scramble again. I split the order with Sweetie and Miggy so they could try. Sweetie said he used to buy it with his classmates. Miggy can't remember if they had it in their school. Ice scramble brings back warm, fuzzy memories of hot afternoons waiting in the school bus. 

Did you have the same drink in your school? 

P.S. I stopped buying it from the vendor when I saw a coin drop in the styro box. She continued selling! Eeeeep! Well, I never had food poisoning from anything I bought from the street vendors, so I guess it was okay hehe.

The Initiation

Wore Daddy's clothes haha.

I finally got around to scanning photos from my high school scrapbook. I brought it to Singapore two years ago, but got so busy. It was a good thing I didn't because the Google photo scan app eventually became available and had a lot of improvements. It's a better alternative than using my printer. I created my scrapbook by hand and had it book bound. The printer would've wrecked my scrapbook. 

Anyway, I posted some of the photos yesterday. My high school classmates were so surprised with my "ultimate #throwbackthursday". It was some random everyday classroom photos. I don't even remember why I brought a camera to school that day. I had very few photos when I was in high school and Sweetie noticed I wasn't even in any of the photos I posted. 

I did find one funny photo of me trying out an outfit for our initiation week. This was the week where you are partnered up with a senior. During lunch hours you're their slave and have to follow whatever they want you to do. My senior was very nice to me and didn't have me do weird stuff. 

I got away just having to wear odd clothes. I also had to go to school using a pail as my schoolbag. Ran late for class and Mrs. Salazar banged on the CR doors while we were changing to our uniform. That was scarier than what I went through with my senior. Initiation week was supposed to be a fun way to welcome froshies to high school. We dreaded it though. 

I don't remember what I did with my froshie when my time came. I don't think I gave her a hard time since my senior was nice to me. Pay it forward ika nga. I think the most we did was have them dress up as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles using batyas. Haha. That's the only fuzzy memory I have of it. 

It would have been nice if I had more photos from that time. Well, it's also a good thing that the devices we have now wasn't around back then. At least we don't have much evidence of our crazy high school days. Hahaha!
