Halo-Halo: A Small Feast for the Heart

It was the day of my brother last week and I thought that I could go home to celebrate together with them of my brother's birthday but there were some problems that happened during that day.
While we are having our work with a normal routine in our company, we have some things to work on and there are some projects that we need to finished it but we haven't finished it yet during working hours and they need the data in on the next day. They decided to continue with the work on the next day (which is our no-work day).
I already planned my schedule for that day because I want to go home to my hometown to celebrate together but the company's news (of going to work on the next day) shattered my plans on going home.
After my work, I think again and again and again if I will go home or not but my mind tells me that I cannot go because of a pricy fare on going home and I decided on not going home and I'll just celebrate my brother's birthday on going to this place, which is the Mang Inasal.
While walking, I look around and saw this Mang Inasal store after I think thoroughly on going home buy my instinct tells me not to because of many reasons that I will wake up as early as 4 in the morning and travel back to work again and then then the pricy bus fare.
I went here to this place alone and I ordered one of their famous and the best seller dessert which is the halo-halo and yeah, at that time, I want to celebrate my brother's birthday by buying this halo-halo dessert. Although, it's not much of a preparation but I think it's okay than no celebration.
I only bought this halo-halo because I am almost full and I cannot waste and afford to buy another dinner because I cannot finish eating it and that's why I only ordered the halo-halo.
While I was waiting for my order, there were also other customers that also dined in the fast food store. There are some families that were eating in the store, friends, or even foreigners.
After a couple of minutes, my ordered has been serve and I went to get the halo-halo in their serving table. While going to the serving table, one of the crews asked me on my order and I said it was halo-halo and the crew just smiled at me and said that "enjoy the dessert".
This is their halo-halo with ube flavor of ice cream with other ingredients that they've put to make it more delicious, tasty, and refreshing. After taking photos, I mixed all the ingredients so that it will be bursts of flavor after I mixed it all.
I look around while eating the halo-halo and there were more new customers that dined in to the store, some were families and others. I was surprise to see that there were customers during that time, because I thought that there were only a few will came to the place since it's already night.
I went home, making myself happy and celebrating that halo-halo for my brother's birthday. How I wish I could go home at that time but my budget is tight and I will be waking up really early that I also hate.
