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.

iPhone at first sight: it’s aaaahmazing!
Me with the iPhone. Liveblogging here at the Manila Bulletin Technews office and I still can't get over laying my dainty hands on the much-heralded 8GB (!) Apple iPhone . Everyone who's held it is right, you hold the iPhone and it immediately elicits a "wow!" not to mention irrepressible "ooh's" and "aahs." As I remain in a state of awe, let me just give a quick rundown of my memorable first impressions with the Apple iPhone: 1. Form factor is super sleek, it's in fact a better looker than the iPod. It's thin in size and if you're looking for a ... Continue Reading...
