Photo-0586 One good thing about Facebook: I can ask my friends all sorts of questions and they will happily answer. Here's my query this weekend: "what do you love to do when it's cold and raining?" (it's not what you think :P) Nina: burrowing under the covers and sleeping in. Then getting up and eating hot and very sour bowl of sinigang and tuyo Vicky: i just love watching the raindrops fall on my porch, observing the surroundings get moist and damp and watching the water flow into the drain.... Tess: Cuddle up with someone special :-) Awww...but I ... Continue Reading...

A session with a stylist
Photo-0613e I've always envied girls born with long straight hair. God didn't give me such an asset ..mine has natural curls which require the magic of some ironing tool or blow-drying in order to look flawless. In my previous previous office, some guy who must have been Blackwell in his past life needlessly asked me "is it windy outside???" Yes, that must have been me - the distressed girl with the shoddy hair in the shampoo commercial - if you get my drift. Thankfully, I was able to find a good hairstylist in David's Salon this year until my friend James ... Continue Reading...
Have massage, eat buffet at Wensha Spa (for $13?!)
Wensha lobby A spa with a free eat-all-you-can buffet is a novel concept in this crazy city. A weekly massage is the refuge of the vain and the figure-conscious .. throw in a munchfest and the concept is changed altogether. My friends have mentioned Wensha Spa when it had its lone branch in Timog, Quezon City before. I couldn't wait to try its offerings when it opened a sprawling complex in Macapagal Blvd. nearer me, beside the Legend Hong Kong Seafood Restaurant and Star City. It boasts of an Asian-inspired facade and a ball-shaped fountain at the ... Continue Reading...
In the mood for a little splurging? Try the Diamond Hotel Indulgence Card
Not too long ago, some sweet-talking hotel salesperson convinced me to get a couple of hotel membership cards. Thankfully it was something I don't regret putting my money on. Am a hedonist and believe there's nothing wrong in treating my family to some luxury every now and then. Recently, one of my favorite five-star digs in Manila Bay launched their VIP card and am putting out this press release because I've tried the place and it's highly-recommended: For a fee of P4,999 ( a little more than $100 annually), one can get the Diamond Hotel's privilege card called the ...

Weekend food round-up: Sakura surprise, Manila’s cheapest breakfast buffet & T-bone steak etc.
Sakura food By now, readers of this blog should have noticed that my food philosophy really is not to spend my hard-earned peso on places that are too pretentious and fancy when I can get the same in other restos for so much less. Especially since I've seen how delectable food is much more affordable in other places in Asia, or out-of-town like Angeles City.. Good cuisine shouldn't make one feel like there is some sort of highway robbery going on, even if some poor guy or publicist is footing the bill. Some restos in Manila are hyped so much when we should ... Continue Reading...
