It may have happened to you once or twice when you don't bother opening interesting articles just because opening browsers kills the momentum. Who loves going back to the news feed only to start AGAIN from the beginning. Annoying! Luckily though, I found a new app for that!
Flynx is a free web browser for Android that let's you load web pages in the background while you continue browsing your Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest feeds and more. When you tap on a link from Facebook, instead of switching to your Chrome app, or much worse, opening the Facebook built-in browser, Flynx open up as a floating browser which minimises as a bubble on top of your current app.I have mentioned in my previous article (APP PICKS: THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT! COPY-PASTE MANAGER AND MORE) how I loved Link Bubble which works pretty much the same way, besides the fact that it will cost you. Only a little, actually, but nothing beats free, let's face it.
More so, I would argue that Flynx offers a lot of features that are very nice to have. It lets you between full and "readable" mode. Readable mode gets declutter your browser and saves mobile data at the same time, too.

I am going to a place far away from home, and I needed Ian's help to get there safe, or get there at all.

I am going to
One Saturday afternoon we went out to Rockwell for lunch. I haven't been there in a long time, and nothing much has changed, apart from these people walking around holding this interesting cone of I'm-not-sure-but-it-looks-cool!
I've seen a LOT of people holding it, with a huge L and A on the cardboard. I'm too shy to ask what it was, and isn't that rude and annoying? Anyway, so I search the entire mall (not a problem), feeling like a detective tracing where the wave of people is coming from--and then finally...
Ground floor, right beside Zaifu--
Churreria La Lola!
It's very interesting that their tables have holes in them to fit your cone in if you are sitting down. But because I'm a very busy gal, I just went for a 12-pc Churros (PHP 195) with a Belgian chocolate dip (medium - PHP 60) on the side to-go.
(Just kidding, the seats are all taken)
Fresh off the pan, it tasted GLORIOUS. Light and crispy on the outsideThere isn't much to compare it with but there's no denying, that's good stuff right there.
The Belgian chocolate dip, as you can see dripping from the rim, has a thick consistency, which I loved. You don't have any other choices for the dip, but they do offer churros with filling that comes in different flavours.
I haven't gotten an upclose shot of the churros, but if you can look closer, they are sprinkled with a little bit of sugar (is it?)
Churros, in its nature of being deep-fried can be a little oily--but bearable.
The perfect sweet and salty + chocolatey combination in every piece leaves a good taste in the mouth.Half-way through, I felt the umay kicking in.
Lesson learned: 6-pcs will cut it if you are eating alone*.
Here's the rest of the menu.

There isn't a lot of places to get Churros here in Manila. I dare say, it's underrated in the country.
Apart from Churros City whose(?) stalls are far too inconvenient for me to visit, and Dulcinea whose Churros I am not exactly a fan of, their isn't much out there to run to a for a Churros fix.
