de-stress day

went to my office mate-recommended touch and heal spa (v.a. rufino, legaspi village) for a massage after 4 tiring days of long walks (and queues... - details later when i get to download the pictures)...

got there at around 9:30 pm, this may seem late to most people but their pampering hours is actually 2pm to 1am everyday. ideal for after-office stress relievers.

its a small place with a very unassuming sign. right after entering the room, i felt relieved that it smelled great with a bit of citrus and lavender in the air. we were given comfy, rubber slippers before going into the foot spa area. the foot spa area as well as the massage beds are only separated by big, bulky, brown loin cloths. i didn't mind the limited room space as it really didn't feel cramped even if there were plenty of customers. of course, its always best to make an appointment: 893-7894.

i got the royalty package 1 which includes: foot scrub, foot massage and body massage for 2 hours and 30 minutes (Php 750). i dozed off somewhere between the foot scrub and foot massage and i had to be waken up so we can move to the massage area. they placed eucalyptus oil/menthol under the massage bed, which made me sleepier. on the overall, the experience was good and very relaxing, even the hot calamansi they serve after the massage was refreshing. now, the questions is, peppermint or lavender oil?

meat up!

a friend just got back from sg for a 2-week-ish vacation. met with her and our other friends over at brazil brazil, serendra (buffet 700++ per head) where we stuffed ourselves up with all the possible food one can roast... from beef, pork, cuttlefish (which we had to emphasize, is not fish...hahaha) to bananas and pineapples...


afterwards, we went over to center stage (jupiter st., makati) to sing our hearts out (by our i mean their as i am incapable of singing... hahaha) til morning, 5am to be exact.


thanks, te rian for the treat! see you again on january 2010.

spring awakening philippines


a friend invited me to watch the philippine version of the duncan sheik and steven sater's tony award-winning rock musical spring swakening. starred by kelly frances lati and miguel mendoza, it opens on september 25, 2009 at the rcbc theater.


we got our tickets by contacting atlantis productions. unfortunately, we didn't get discounts no matter how early we got the tickets (we got 10% early bird discount from the bachelor girl on last year's avenue q).
