Buro is readily available in markets and supermarkets. But if you want a fix, and it isn’t available to you, fret not! Buro is actually very simple to make.
Here is my mom’s recipe. She learned how to make buro from her grandmother when she was just a little girl.
Here’s a little equation I learned a few years back when I got into baking and cake decorating:
Butter cream + Humidity = Disaster
Case in point:
I do have my doubts though, as I think I may have contributed something that made things go wrong. I may have used a little less shortening and more butter; or a little less sugar when I made the icing. Either way, I think it wasn’t stable enough. In the end, though, I don’t think any butter cream icing would have endured that heat.
Lesson learned? Stick it in the fridge until it’s needed.
2009 was a busy year for comic book enthusiasts and toy collectors. as events targeted towards them were spread throughout the past year. The 4th Annual Toys and Collectibles Christmas Fair was the last fair/convention of the past year that I went to.
The Annual Toys and Collectibles Christmas Fair, which marked it’s fourth year, was held last December at SM Megamall and ran from the 16th to the 22nd. I was happy to learn that the entrance fee was more inexpensive than the previous conventions– Php 30 pesos as opposed to Php 100 pesos.
I only went twice– first on the first day and then on the 20th, when they held a cosplay fashion show. I didn’t get to take photos of the cosplay fashion show because I had….technical difficulties… with my camera. I blame Mercury in retrograde. Rain and Jay though, my companions at the cosplay show, were able to take some snap shots.

I’ve often wondered how chocolate crinkles are made, so I searched online and found this recipe from www.joyofbaking.com. It seems fairly easy to do so I gave it a go. I tweaked it a bit by adding a bit of coffee to intensify the chocolate flavor.
It’s that time of the year again! With Christmas just around the corner, everyone is in a mad rush to get their holiday shopping done. If you are looking for that perfect present for a toy collector, or maybe just for yourself, then go check out the 4th Annual Toys and Collectibles Christmas Fair at SM Megatrade Hall in SM Mega Mall. There you’ll find the best bargains on toys, comics and other collectibles. I am so excited to go! Mostly, I’ll be going for the comics– these conventions have a lot of them down at bargain prices. But who knows? I might fnally find that Altaire figure on sale.
There will be a live toy auction, where one can bid for much sought items at prices way lower than their actual value. Another highlight is the cosplay runway show which will be held on the 20th at 4 p.m.
The 4th Annual Toys and Collectibles Christmas Fair is brought to us by Collectibles Unlimited in partnership with SM Megatrade Hall.
