The Ritz Spa Experience

I've been to a lot of spa places here and out of Metro Manila, but most of those visits if not that satisfying were disappointing

One reason why I visit spas is to have a body massage. I like getting a full body massage. I like it hard but not hurtful. And though full of doubt about this spa place here in Manila if they can provide a better body massage, I braved myself in trying one of their services, the one that I found would relaxed my really, really  tired body.

Let me tell you my Hot Stone Massage experience here in The Ritz Spa.

Basically catering to foreign visitors of Manila, The Ritz Spa offers a list of services that any guest would enjoy. They have packages for those who wanna throw a sparty (spa party) with their pals, but I think if you wanna have a sparty that should just be an all-girls or an all-boys sparty because the place is divided into two parts, the men's area and the ladies' area and I think they wouldn't allow men getting in to ladies' locker area. Hehehe.

Loving Mary Kay's TimeWise Moisture Renewing Gel Mask!

Who says vanity is just for women? Who say taking good care of skin is just a woman thing? With Mary Kay's Timewise Moisture Renewing Gel Mask, to hell with that! Hahaha!

Earth Day at Ayala Triangle Garden

As the whole country took its little share in saving the Planet Earth last Saturday's Earth Hour by switching their lights and appliances off, I was invited to witness how the people in Makati City celebrate this momentous event the different way.

 Yes, you read it right, the different way - they celebrated it with LIGHTS ON!

The Middle Child and All About Scrapbooking

I have a very sad story about scrapbook. It's a very sad story that every time I saw one, I look anywhere just not to see one... It hurts to see something that reminds you of someone, but I guess that's why they invented or created such thing - to be remembered of the pass that you had.

And that's what I experience last Sunday when I attended the All About Scrapbooking Blogger's Day - a whirl wind experienced that ended with a bang.

When I entered the Filstar Building in Pasig City, I was welcomed by a quite hallway, little do I know, when I reached the end of the hall, a room of full of bloggers who were so excited for the party to begin. After registering my name, I was handed by this girlish name tag. Cute, right?

The moment I received it, I knew that this will a day of creative juices.

A Celebration of Talent at Avida Centera’s 3D Street Painting Festival

I think this is one of the most fun events that I’ve been to this year. With all the creativity  - colors, ideas, concepts and executions, needless to say the cute artists doing these art pieces, Avida Centera’s idea of showcasing our artists’ talents through a 3D street painting competition is one fucking awesome! ^_^

I usually see these kinds of paintings on the Internet and they are really amazing! Admit it, you’ve been wowed once or twice by these kinds of art pieces, right? But did you know that when you see how these amazing paintings starting to have a life right under your noses, they are more amazing!

And that’s what I saw last Friday!

My Zsazsa Zaturnnah Ze Muzikal Experience!

I've read the book for almost 4 or 5 years ago, I think, and I'd still say that despite of being a non-comic book fan that I am, if there's one comic book that I've read and truly enjoyed it from cover to cover, that'll be Carlo Vergara's book. And even though I'm not as proud as anybody else for being gay, I will say that by the power of Geisha vested upon me by this book, I am gay and I love Zsazsa Zaturnnah!!!

Let me say thank first to my friend and officemate Danica Josephine for tagging me along and to Mama Jo for always giving us free tickets. I really, really appreciate that you support our love for theater despite of our shortcomings. ^_^

So, here, when I got a chance to see Zsazsa Zaturnnah Ze Muzikal just a while ago at the Tanghalang Batute of Cultural Center of the Philippines, I really had a fantabulous night!

Paradizoo's AgriFestival - Power of Three

Last Saturday, I headed south with my 6-year-old niece Nickaella to check out the last day of Paradizoo's 1st Agrifestival. From the words "agrarian" or "agriculture", they made up a festival that will showcase the three wonderful collections that this paradise in Mendez, Cavite have.

Dubbed as "Power of Three," they showcased livestock, floral and vegetable exhibit to farm and animal enthusiasts and lovers.

It was my second time to visit this lovely place and first for Nickaella, so I was kinda excited for her to see these creatures because since we are living in Manila and we barely see stuff like this, I know that she'll see learn a lot from this trip.

2nd International Pyromusical Competition - Australia and Philippines

"Save the best for last."

This seems to be the motto of International Pyromusical Competition from the moment that the organizers put up this show because just like last year, this year's competition ended with a big bang!

Last Saturday night, the sky of Manila Bay was once again filled with astonishing bright and cheerful lights from the wowing fireworks display from Australia and host country, Philippines.

I can't say anything about Australia's show because I just saw a glimpse of their presentation, but if you ask me about the Philippines' show... WOW!

Reach Your G-O-A-L with Avida!

"By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beatuiful treasures." Proverbs 24:3-4

Last week, I felt so stupid, felt so dumb...

I dunno what's with me, maybe the mid-life crisis thing, that's why when I went to the church that Sunday, I asked God, please brighten my mind and tell me what to do... WHAT IS MY GOAL?

And I think God just loves me, He answered my prayer through a whooping fun blogging event.

 

Ever since I was a child, being a middle child, I've been dreaming of having my own space... MY OWN PLACE. That's why when I received an invitation to join a group of bloggers and media to take a trip at Cavite to see how this historic place is being transformed into an astonishing place for Filipino families... I guess, this is the answer to my query to God.
