Aliah was certain that her heart belonged to men, but Princess Yanarym was causing her to question her preferences. In the four times she had encountered the first Princess, including this most recent interaction, Aliah found that the people whom she had once considered attractive had lost their charm. To her, they were now simply ordinary people with faces.
'Maybe I'm in paradise?' Aliah's admiration was exceeding normal reaction.
"Ali. Ali. Aliah."
"Yes? Yes? Your Highness? Yes, Your Highness!"
"If there's no food then I will be meditating for the rest of the day. I need to cleanse my mind and spirit. Don't disturb me unless I call for you."
Aliah was startled and she had to pinch her skin to awaken from daydreaming in front of Her Highness. "B-but Y-Your Highness, you haven't eaten anything yesterday and the day after that too."

Halo-halo is a popular dessert in the Philippines that literally means "mixed together". It's a refreshing treat made with a combination of various ingredients such as shaved ice, evaporated milk, sweet beans, fruits, jellies, and sometimes ice cream.
To make halo-halo, a tall glass is filled with shaved ice and then topped with different ingredients such as sweetened red mung beans, sweetened white beans, sweetened chickpeas, coconut sport, jackfruit, plantains, and nata de coco. It's then drizzled with evaporated milk and sometimes condensed milk. Some variations also include ube halaya (purple yam jam), leche flan (custard), and even corn flakes or rice crispies.
The ingredients are then mixed together using a long spoon and enjoyed immediately. Halo-halo is a popular dessert during hot summer days in the Philippines, and it's often sold in local restaurants and street vendors.
