Being a spa and massage addict, I’m constantly on the lookout for great spa filters – one with a huge and accurate database of spas and the services they offer, including the pricing and schedule.

Although there are existing databases of spas, at the moment, I haven’t found one that meets my requirements. There seems to be some important details missing every now and then. And most of the time, the reviews in those sites are not that good or looks like they were paid to do the reviews. I’m seriously considering putting up my own spa directory website with my personal review (perhaps have my fellow spa addicts friends do reviews as well). After all, who best to judge a spa than avid customers like me, right?

It’s my sister Ruth’s 18th birthday on the 31st! We’re planning to celebrate it at home to make the event more cozy and comfy. We’re deciding on having it at our rooftop or in our garage. Then again, I just remembered that our garage floor is still under renovation, so, it’s going to be an 18th birthday party under the stars!

It’s not going to be a big celebration. Just a few close friends and relatives, with beer, great food, and of course, videoke! I intend to turn the videoke sounds full blast on that night. Time to get my revenge on our inconsiderate neighbors who keeps singing, or rather croaking, in ungodly hours! Ahahaha!

Being in my mid-20’s, I’m quite concerned about my back acne. Generally, when you reach this stage, having acne should be a thing in the past. But for some hare-brained reason, this does not apply to me!

I know there are a lot of adult acne treatments available, but I’d rather not try them unless they’re highly recommended by a friend (should be tried and tested as well). I’m still thinking that this could very well be just due to stress. I hope I’m right. Until then, please feel free to recommend a great back acne treatment!

Guess what our office Christmas Party Theme was? It’s glam rock! Of course, it’s a given that there’s a price for the best-dressed male and female for the said event.

At times like these, I get to appreciate my sister Anne a little bit more than usual. Her sense of fashion has helped me gain a lot of admirable head-to-toe glances and even several introductions, I tell you. And that Christmas party was no exception. The price people are vying for is a significant cash price, which I want for myself. So I had Anne conceptualize my outfit for that night. She made me purchase a Michael Kors black leather studded zip gloves and 7 for All Mankind black leather ‘Orion’ tall harness boots to complete my glam rock outfit.

I didn’t win the best-dressed female, but I did get nominated in the top four. ^_^ I don’t mind not winning though because the only reason I didn’t get the first place was because they based it on the loudest hoot by the audience. My team in the office was small compared to others, so it was a given that the one with the bigger team will win – the clothes are just secondary. Anyway, everyone, even my boss and his wife acknowledged that I should have won. To me, that was enough. *curtsy*

Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

 

Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.

Yipes. It’s the season of parties and reunions. The time where we meet a lot of people and have the opportunity to flaunt ourselves in gay apparel. Then again, at the moment, I’m not pretty confident about the flaunting area. Aside from my loveable curls-that-looks-natural (I would like to thank Shine Girls for this), my love handles are just not cooperating!

Anyway, it’s not the end of the world for me. It’s not as if I’ve gained that much weight. After all, parties and reunions mean tons of free food! Imagine if you’re weight conscious during this time. Tsk tsk tsk… I’m pretty sure that those who are on diet mode will have nightmares of irresistible, mouthwatering food throughout this festive season.

To make sure though that I don’t get Santa’s belly after all the celebrations, I bought a fitness equipment to keep me in shape (if not tone down my belly). My friend Mark and I also signed up for Bikram Yoga next year. That way, we’ll definitely be gorgeous all throughout 2010.

It’s the holiday season, the season when new designs are released to the market, and the season when all department stores go on sale. It is also the time when we get to eat so much fat. From the Halloween party , to the thanksgiving dinner, then to the Christmas party, Reunions, and New year celebrations. We never stop partying during these times.

Last year, as I remember, I gained thirty pounds in just three months. I needed to take aerobics classes and fat burners just to trim down my waist. What’s worse is, right now I’m again craving for the turkey, and the ham, and the roast beef! I just can’t learn can I?

Anyhow, all ranting won’t do me any good but maybe some suggestions from you readers might help me do something about my cravings and my weight. I’ll be glad to hear your comments as long as they are not spam. Thanks a lot guys.

Pristine, my laptop who celebrated her 1st birthday last October 14, only has one gig of memory. My friend Mark advised that it’s high time we upgrade Pristine’s laptop memory into two gig. I have to agree though. There are a lot of great softwares in the market nowadays that I’m unable to utilize because of laptop memory problem.

According to Mark, it’s cheaper to buy it in cash than to use my credit card. So, I need to wait until next week, when my salary comes in. The good thing about that is, Mark’s willing to buy my current 1 gig memory. That means I’ll be able to save some for the upgrade! ^_^

I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but the Philippines is in a state of calamity right now due to Typhoon Ondoy (international name Ketsana) which hit the country last September 26, 2009. The country, according to reports, the amount of rainfall in nine hours last Saturday was more than the average monthly rainfall in Metro Manila.

According to more news, as of September 27, Sunday, at least 73 persons were killed and nearly 70,000 families were displaced by massive flooding after tropical storm Ondoy. Based from what I’ve seen in the news both online and offline, a lot of Filipinos have severely damaged houses due to the massive flooding. Some houses were only damaged in the first floors of their house and all they have to do is clean up their furniture, kitchen faucet and floor tiles. However, many houses there are bungalow type, making them now uninhabitable.

Two more typhoons are expected to hit the country within the week as well (Typhoon Parma over the weekend). Let us pray that everyone will be safe and will survive this calamity.

My older brother has been chubby since he went into the university and discovered the (according to him) wonderful world of drinking, thanks to his fraternity and organization. He did become thin at one point when he went on protein diet. But that was short lived.

It’s his 29th birthday on Thursday and he’ll be going to New York on Friday to stay there for three months. His birthday resolution is to come back home looking very fit and as handsome as he was in high school. He’s so determined about this that he contacted moving companies New York to include his expensive exercise machine together with his baggage and furniture.

We’re all excited to see the outcome of his resolution after three months and hopes he does succeed.

Last night was quite fun for me. I was with Leah, a friend of mine, and we met with a cute (understatement) guy she met from the net. Leah was drooling over this guy for a while already. She almost bought the best diet pills just to look good for this guy. I was not really into EB but I was worried as well for my friend so I tagged along. Anyhow, the guy was very interesting to talk with. He was not the intimidating and humorous type. He was subtle, straight to the point, and has a profound sense of humor, although he was of same age as we did.

We ended up talking about investments (yep, business). The supposed to be flirty night turned out as a business dinner. We learned a lot, especially about how to invest money wisely. In summary, I learned that settling your debts first is not always the right choice when it comes to spending money wisely. If you can invest the money with a very quick return of investment, might as well do that. Then use the profit to pay for debts.

All those chat about business made Leah even want the guy even more. The guy seems nice, and looks like he likes her too. But I bet they’ll break up in two weeks. Haha. I think my friend is way too immature for him.
