First ever body massage

2009-01-12T10:13:00.003+08:00

To lessen my stress, I decided to help my mom shop for groceries. So yesterday, we went to SM, Clarkfield Pampanga to shop. But I remembered, I was also given a gift card by my manager for a free accommodation in one of the spa and body massage salons there. I actually gave that to my mom as a birthday present last December since I was not able to buy a gift for her because of a busy schedule. So before we went to the market, we decided to undergo body massage. She used the card but I added Php200 (4.23USD) more so she can avail combination of Swedish and Shiatsu massage which lasted for 75 mins, then I tried Swedish for Php500 (10.57USD) which lasted for 1hr. (Kinda expensive eh! :-/)

I was so excited, thinking that after the treatment I will feel more comfortable and stress free. But I think I made the wrong decision of choosing the Swedish style. I should have mentioned that I want just a light pressure. After the procedure, I felt back pain. :( I am just glad that the pain has subsided. Not a good experience though. But I will surely check other shops in the future. I'll rest my pocket for a while before it gets empty. :D

Happy New Year ! :)

2008-12-31T23:52:00.040+08:00

Seven minutes before 2008 ends and we just got home from attending a mass. I'm sure all are busy preparing for their media noche (midnight meal) and others are busy lighting their fireworks. Gee! I'm afraid of fireworks and so my mom. :D Just awhile ago when she yelled someone, to stop the person from lighting a firework (which is I think a five star?!) while we were passing by. :D And of course, I was busy fixing my hair 'coz I was not able to do it at home since it's already 9 o'clock and the part that I hate most was when we were on a jeepney (public utility vehicle), I accidentally run the comb through my earrings. I tried searching for the missing part but I did not see it, so I have to remove the other one. When we got home, guess what, I found the missing part on my.. hmmm,, inside my blouse?! wahahah! :X

Anyways, this is not a goodbye for the year 2008 but this is just my way of saying hello to 2009 and leaving bad things from 2008. Hope y'all enjoyed memories from 2008 and prepare for the new year! Happy New Year to all! :)

Disco dancing santa

After more than 3 hours of clicking and browsing, I found something that made me smile. A cute little santa is dancing on my screen. Check it out! Hope he can make you smile too..

Have a wonderful Christmas! ^_^

White Christmas

2008-12-25T18:33:00.001+08:00

I don't have much on my head right now but I noticed that it has been a while since I posted an entry about myself. What kept me busy was work, tolerating stress by sleeping, window shopping, eating and browsing the net and work again. But this week is different (a busy week, that I even slept for only 4 hours yesterday). I have to check a friend who's in the hospital. Well, I'd rather be stressed because of work than to see someone close to me crying in pain (it'll be much-more-than stressful whenever I see someone who suffers). I just hope that he will be fine.

White christmas not because of the snowflakes (I wish there is.. hehehe!). But because of the stress I am feeling right now. I had to go to work at Christmas eve, leaving my mom home alone. Then by tomorrow, I have to work, leaving my mom again.. alone on her birthday. I wonder until when can I tolerate this. I hope that your Christmas is colorful and not as white as mine. (Sigh!) Hope that next year's Christmas will never be like this again.

I am sorry...

2008-12-23T11:35:00.000+08:00

Hey guys! I am sorry I will not be able to visit your blogs because I have to attend to a friend who's in the hospital due to a sickness. I promise I will get back to you once the condition is back to normal. See yah! ^_^

A non-sense post

2008-12-14T21:27:00.000+08:00

I was about to create a new entry but my brain is not functioning well. Maybe I'm just tired or not in the mood to create a new post so I just clicked on any link that is on my blog. I found this plurk thing where I can add my own messages. I was excited to get one 'coz it says that registration only takes 30 seconds. So I registered. After registering, I edited my profile and immediately searched for the widget link so I can add it on my blog. I edited the color and the size and clicked on add widget. I typed some words but to my disappointment, it is not showing on my plurk box. (sigh!) Hmm, how do you fix this plurk thingamajig? Maybe tomorrow I'll try to fix it but for now, I think I must go to sleep. :( Goodnight everyone.

Feliz Navidad

2008-12-07T08:05:00.000+08:00

Oh my! It's so cold. As I type a message to one of my friends, I felt my hands freezing. It's nearly Christmas. I wonder how cold it is in places outside the country.

Last night, I found time to decorate the Christmas tree. As I was doing the chore, I was thinking when to buy clothes for me and for my mom. We usually go to malls to buy clothes and new shoes. Aside from attending mass, this is one of our rituals (hehe!) every year before Christmas. I really love being with my mom. Also, seeing happy people together with their relatives and loved ones every Christmas. In addition to gift giving, gatherings such as Christmas parties and reunions are the most awaited part during Christmas. I love to see christmas decorations and hear children singing christmas carols. I also love preparing food for christmas eve and eating together with the family.

Christmas brings happiness and love to each and every one indeed.

But after thinking of those happy moments, it just came to my thought that not all people are celebrating Christmas this way. There are the unfortunate ones who are still striving for food and don't have anything new to wear every Christmas. I just hope that someday their lives will be better like the others.

How about you, how do you celebrate your Christmas?

Yum! yum! (part 1)

2008-12-04T11:06:00.000+08:00

After a long and tiring work, me and my friends went to Nepo mart in Angeles City, Pampanga to check a food stall (food cart) that one of my friends used to visit since childhood. We tried going to that stand before but was not able to eat 'coz the vendor was not around so we tried our luck this time and bingo! we were able to feed our starving stomachs. :D

*kikiam or quikiam *hotdog *pugo (boiled quail eggs deep

in orange colored batter)

These are some of the street food that Filipinos love to eat. My bad, I was not able to take a picture of "pusit" (I wonder how it looks like), "fishball", "kwek-kwek", "squid balls" and many more. Next time, I'll try to take a picture of other variants so I can post it. Hehe! :)

Tattoo

2008-11-27T14:17:00.000+08:00

Tattoo » from the polynesian word "tatao" which means to tap or "tatu" meaning to mark something. Tattoo is a form of body art and originally it symbolizes a ritual or tradition.
It's nice to have a tattoo - in my opinion anyway. I myself wanna have a tattoo. In fact, I got one last year but it's a henna. (lol!) It makes me feel cool and in trend. But what if your tattoo is like this...

Would you still dare to have a tattoo?

Is it a brain tumor?

2008-11-27T11:55:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, my mom told me a story about a woman who thought she had flu. The woman felt numbness on her left arm, felt tired and couldn't eat. She said, the woman consulted a doctor and they found out that she's suffering from BRAIN TUMOR. I wasn't really listening to her that time because I was busy blog hopping and I thought it was just a story she got from her friend but I was intrigue when she mentioned something about a *tapeworm. So, I asked her where did she get the story. Then she mentioned the website. And here is what I found out..

*Tapeworm is a parasitic organism that lives in hosts like pets, farm animals, and humans. Tapeworm is frequently picked up by swimming in a body of water, like a lake or river, and accidentally swallowing a small amount of water. However, one can also be infected by eating undercooked meat, such as beef, pork, or fish, or by getting bitten by a flea from an infected pet.

Dolls, dolls, dolls

2008-11-24T05:23:00.000+08:00

Are you fond of collecting dolls?

Last saturday, I went to SM Clark together with my mom to window shop. I found this botique in SM Clark, Pampanga that sells dolls with different costumes, sizes and different hairstyles. Don't know how much they are but they're cute ayt? :) The doll that made me smile is the mermaid doll. Check out the photos below.

JoyRide

2008-11-19T11:21:00.000+08:00

I'm actually "still" thinking of a new post but can't think of any until I've found some pictures on my PC. These pictures were taken during our road trip in Tagaytay, Bolinao and Zambales. Ah! Those were the days that we're trying to relax, relieve stress and make fun of our bloopers at work. I just can't help myself not to share these pictures with y'all. I hope you'll enjoy the JOYRIDE. :)

POTIPOT, ZAMBALES

Potipot Island, also referred to as "Putipot" or "Pulipo". Approximately 1km from Uacon, Candelaria, Zambales. Uacon is about 46km north of Iba, the capital of Zambales and 240+km from Manila by road.

People who live near the island are very friendly and accommodative. Visitors usually stay at the resorts on the mainland and the most popular resort is "Dawal". From the mainland, you can hire bancas (boats) at a rate of PhP 300 ($6 USD) for a roundtrip and the banca ride from Dawal to Potipot Island is around 5 minutes.

The Island is very peaceful and you would find very few people. Some are busy setting their tents up, finding a shady place to stay, and even sleeping using old newspapers or picnic cloth since there are no resorts in the island.

Yes, white sand, clear water and virgin forest. A very beautiful place to relax. Despite of it being away from civilization, the Island still maintain its composure of being owned by mother nature.

TAGAYTAY CITY

We're about to go to Enchanted Kingdom when we (together with my co-workers) decided to check out Tagaytay City.

BOLINAO, PANGASINAN

Bolinao, a quiet little town on the northwest tip of Pangasinan. It is beautifully surrounded by tropical nature and has fine white sand beaches. There are couple of beach resorts in Bolinao, Pangasinan but you'll have to drive in a rough road for 2-3 hours from Pangasinan (main) to reach those resorts. Although we were not able to check other scenery, it was a very pleasant experience to travel together with your friends, have fun and take pictures of those wonderful moments. :)

From sunrise to sunset...

A blog virgin

2008-11-17T11:04:00.000+08:00

It's 4 o'clock in the morning. She got up from bed, went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth. She checked for any food to eat and found a box of pizza in the dining room. She was hungry and helped herself with two slices of pizza and of course her favorite, a cup of coffee.
She likes coffee because it helps her become more awake and energetic especially in the kind of work she's doing. Yes, she works at night. Not as a dancer (hehe!) but a call center agent, one reason why she used to wake up in the middle of the night.

Her daily routine is to sleep, eat and work (err, kinda boring!?!). She also loves browsing the net and playing online games. After eating, she went back to her bedroom, plugged her computer and checked her clock. It's now 4:15 A.M. As she was clicking and scrolling her mini black (defective) optical mouse boringly, she was led to a website of her friend. She called it "website" because the page is very artistic, unique, superb, creative (urgh! running out of adjectives). As though it was created by a professional Web Designer. She found creativity, ideas, different walks of life, talk of the town "issues that are bugging the ear of humans" and camaraderie. She loves it!

A small deviruchi (small devil look-alike monster in one of the games she's playing) idea bursted out of her head. "You are not a writer."She's just a simple girl. She doesn't even know how to construct or where to get her ideas. She's totally a blog virgin. She don't know where to start and why she's creating her own website. But because she likes the idea of what she saw in that page, she was encouraged and started thinking.
And there, she arrived in an idea of writing her own name, because she now would like to introduce herself to the World and this is one of her ways of starting it.
Yes, her name is "Khae", a blog virgin. Let us join her in creating ideas, making friends and in this journey of a colorful world called "blogging".

(Ah, 6:30 A.M. She started polishing her very first blog. Now, she's starting to think of another post for tomorrow. Thinking, thinking, thinking..)
