SEVENTEEN = SEVEN!!! A big day for me... or so I thought!
Usually, in days like this, I write things about the heart & whatnot has anything to do with mush & cheese...
Instead, it's a celebration!!! I celebrate!


Spotted at Cafe Lidia Marikina :)
A quaint restaurant in the hearts of Marikina.

Another first time... nomnomnom
We ordered Grilled porkchop, grilled tuna, chicken kiev, buffalo wings, fish & chips, salisbury steak, chicken parmesan, banana split & blueberry cheesecake. Around 150 per meal budget is enough to enjoy the good tasting food in this restaurant.

Looks like we'll be frequenting this quaint resto. Everything we ordered were really good & scrumptuous! It's just a bit hard to get a parking space but this place is a must-go-to restaurant. I believe their best seller here are their pizzas & pastas.

Til we meet again cafe Lidia! I know it'll just be in a few days. hehe.


HAPPY SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY!!! PITONG TAONG KAHIBANGAN! :)

God made another worth-appreciating day to make me say "This is what I call living the life!!!" :)



I've always heard of Wensha spa as the place to be. Conversations about getting a massage would always include Wensha & other spas. My friends often talk about it and every time Wensha Spa comes into the conversation, their eyes would always glisten. They've been to Wensha Timog, Pasay & Sumulong already but I just can't understand why I'm always out of the picture. Oh yeah! It's because my friends who are in couples treat themselves there and I don't have a partner who loves going to spa so I just opt for the home-service massage. Don't get me wrong though. Wensha Spa separates females from males.

We've planned of going to Wensha as a barkada before but it never happened. ALAS! Just last week, I saw a photo on FB of 2 couple-friends who went to Wensha & why was I not there again?!

FINALLY! Wensha Spa Sumulong!!! I got to go with them on Sat. Hanna, JR, Dadoi, Ching, Glai, Glen & of course me. Wee! FUN! & Oh yeah! It's my first time!

We got the whole body massage package for 680 only. This package includes

6 hours use of amenities

Eat-all-you-can buffet + shabu-shabu

1 hour whole body massage.

At the lobby, as soon as package is paid, you'll be given your magnetic locker-key bracelet, & pair of slippers. After changing into flip-flops, we went straight to the buffet. They have an array of food but of all those, I only enjoyed the Shabu-shabu. They have Rice, Lumpia, Pancit, Dimsums, Chicken Curry, Breaded Pork, Mamon, Siopao & Shabu-shabu ingredients & Ice cream. You also get unlimited orange juice or iced tea or water. Take note! No leftovers allowed! So if you go there, take only what you can eat or else, pay for the leftovers.

After the hearty-meal, we headed to the locker rooms. Boys go to the male area & girls go to the female area. Inside the locker room, friendly attendants will give you fresh towel, robe & shorts. Check the bracelet number to know where your locker is & use the magnet to unlock the locker. When changing, take everything off & just use the towel before going into the Jacuzzi room. Inside the jacuzzi, everyone's naked. You have an option to avail of the 20PhP disposable undies. Here's what we did.

Took a shower. (The shower is complete with body wash and shampoo with light conditioner)
Went to dry Sauna. *request ice & face towel from the attendants
Went to the cold jacuzzi *brrr
Went to the hot jacuzzi *this one's really relaxing
Went to steam bath *I really had a hard time breathing inside the steam sauna so after a few minutes, I already went out.
Went back to dry Sauna.
Then took a shower.

They say that this helps in blood circulation. If you have a heart disease or hypertension, there's a note on before going into the Sauna to not to stay for more than 15 minutes in the sauna & jacuzzi. It may cause nausea & dizziness. I personally felt headache & palpitation. I dunno why but I'm suspecting I've highb-lood. or maybe we did it the wrong way. I think we should've gone to the hot jacuzzi first then cold. LOL
Note: Don't forget to ask for ice when going into the Sauna.
Note: Always re-hydrate & drink water. Water is readily available.

I love the fact that the amenities there are complete. Everything you need is there. There's toothbrush if you want to brush your teeth. They've lotion, tissue, hair-gel, powder, etc. :)

Next stop. 1-hour full body massage. I really love it! I like the stretching portion a lot. In the massage, you'll be given an option to choose which oil you prefer. The plain mineral oil or the mentholated ginger oil. I had the ginger oil. <3
After the massage, your therapist will ask you to sign a slip & you can write whatever amount you like as tip. You can also stay there & sleep some more if you like.

After all the relaxing, we went back to the buffet & had more shabushabu.

Days like this is heaven! Oh yes! This is the day that the Lord had made! I'm definitely gonna do this again. :)

Happy 2012!!!

It just dawned to me that I have been updating my blog at least once a year only. :(
Time has passed. A lot has happened. Looking back at everything I've posted before, I regret not blogging for several years. I don't care who gets to read it. I don't care if no one reads it. I just feel so glad I wrote all the fun stuff I did way back...
Reading my past blogs reminded me how fun I was. So as a vow this 2012, aside from vowing to travel more & more, be vain & in love, I'm befriending my lj again.

To start of this entry....

Have you heard of the latest craze on facebook? It's....
TETRIS!!!

I may be just exaggerating but this game is so addictive, you wish you never started playing it. If mafia wars, farm ville, city ville, zynga poker made me so glued on my laptop way back in college, this familiar feeling is all coming back to me now... ♫♫♫there were moments of gold & there were flashes of light♫♫♫

I started playing Tetris a few days ago; maybe a week now and right after work, even if I've been really exhausted from everything I had to do during the day, I can't stop my self from playing Tetris. In just 2 days, I reached the Whiz status in this game and ever since, I always had that urge to battle someone.
The competitive person in me always wants to challenge someone or beat someone.

How did I know that I'm already addicted?
In moments when I lose because of slow connection, I come to a point of screaming or hitting something or slapping the keypads. In moments of victory, I dance on my seat, I sing with joy and laugh as if nobody's around. I began unleashing the crazy in me.

But just this afternoon, as I stare at the mirror and see those dark bags under my eyes, it alarmed me. Uh-oh I must now stop. As I look closer, OMG zits are starting to sprout. Mayday, mayday! We have a situation. I have been sleeping really late even on weekdays (which are workdays).
These are not good signs. I become really sleepy during work but I can't help myself to not play the game until around 2am.

Oh dear! Must have discipline! Must have self-control. Must take care of myself. Especially now that I should care more about catching the arrow Cupid has been shooting, I must prioritize my health, appearance & overall vitality.

For now, I'll stop playing... or not! I will play in moderation.
Everything in excess is poison so I must remind myself of self-discipline. :)
Besides, I'm not getting any younger. Must stay focused on better things in life.

If you're a Tetris Battle player, wouldn't you agree?

:) Fun times...

Life is touch & go. It's sink and swim. -

These are just a few lines from a song by Rupert Holmes. Lines that speak so much truth about life. This is the world that we're in. This is the so-called real world.

May 8 is indeed a day to celebrate! It's another perfect bonding time for the family.

To begin with, today is mothers day!.

Greet all the moms who went through labor just to get you out of this world. Without our moms, may she be the nicest or the wickedest person in your life, we will never experience this thing called life. No joy, no sadness, no everything, no nothing! We can never thank them enough for giving us this privilege to live as humans. Without your mom & my mom, we'll never be able to come across each other.
We owe all our successes to our moms. Our biological mothers were chosen by God for us for a reason. Moms are one of the things that are constant in this world. You and I are not entitled to choose who our moms should be. We are not entitled to decide wether to be born or not but our moms made that decision the day we were born. For all we know, mommy could've given-up the moment she felt pain.
Again, thank you so much! I'm taking this chance to say "I love you", which I rarely say. Even though my brother is in Canada, he sent my mom a bouquet of white & pink roses.

On another note, oh yes! Today is another big day! People all over the world, if not all, are glued on their tv sets, wide screens, pay per views, etc. for another historical fight. The Pacquiao-Mosley bout! Mosley, being an African-American was said to be one tough opponent for pacquiao. Though I've doubts on Mosley's capabilities, I enjoyed watching the fight live.
I never thought it'd be so much fun watching the bout with a lot of people. If you're looking for a place to watch the fight live & free, Fiesta casino is the place to be! Thunderbird resorts always offer free live feed of Pacman's fight. If you're feeling lucky, you might want to play a game or two while waiting.
I personally loved the rounds 3 & 11. In round 3, Pacman knocked out Mosley when he gave him a power left punch. Everyone in the cabana bar were jumping for joy. In round 10, manny was pushed by Mosley, causing Manny to stumble down and the referee considered this a knock out and was given 10 seconds. The funnest round followed through and Pacman was just unstoppable.
As usual, Pacman never fails to make us proud. He not only is proud to be a Filipino, but he always makes sure to bring us pride/ "karangalan". In his press conference, he dedicated this fight to all pinoys and wore yellow gloves as a campaign to alleviate poverty in our country. he's learned a lot as a politician.

All the cheering and excitement made us really hungry. To celebrate this fun-filled day, we went to our second kitchen, "Hapchan". Nothing beats having lunch with the whole family.

Thanks for making today a happy day with mommy, daddy, Jr, hanna, kb, Anna, aeon & Kuya (on FaceTime).

P.S. Lord God, I'll constantly pray for that thing. :)

Feb. 1-2, BICOL


BICOL HERE WE COME!!!

I got invited by a very dear friend to come visit Bicol. Being the travel-addict that I am, I immediately agreed & booked a flight to Legazpi.

Today marks the third day of my Rosary Novena. Yes. I'm a Christian Catholic & relearned the Holy Rosary.

It's been several months since the formal closure & it didn't quite sink-in. A photo made me realize that everything was just for plays. It's time to move on & let go. The signs were crystal; as vivid as it could get. But the cloud still keeps it grey. I pray for this cloud to go away. For this heart to heal & open the doors which were long time shut.

It was never a sin to appreciate. It was never a sin to love. It's just always better to do it in moderation.
You can never own anyone. Not because one gave you promises, doesn't mean it'll remain constant. The only thing permanent in this world is change; which explains the reason why people tend to forget and totally deny what was said and done.

What hurts are the lies & denials. I just can't believe that all these can happen to someone as simple as me. I just thought I never deserved to be hurt & played around. Noone deserves such but it's just too complicated for someone like me. I never thought I can be easily manipulated and all these emotions are giving me a hard time moving on. Lucky enough, I'm not yet at the point of taking medications for depression & anxiety.

In this 9 day devotion that I'm doing, I'm just preparing for the unexpected and hopes for the best.
I wish something new happens to me to break all these mediocrity.

"Respect Life"

Tonight marks my 3rd night here in the Antipolo Doctors. No! I wasn't the one admitted.
