Playing Under The Sun with SUNPLAY at BOSO BOSO Highlands RESORT

Everyone in the family is so excited when the month of April came not only because my sister-in-law had arrived last April 7, 2012 but also because it also means the whole family will be going out for a whole day of bumming and swim fun.

Everyone in the family loves to swim .And we cannot pass up on everything that includes water and swimming. So after a week that sissy-in-law has already settled and jet-lag officially out of her system, one Saturday we went to BOSO-BOSO HIGHLANDS RESORT.

 

Hair Shaft Podium: Your Next-To-Being-a-Star Salon!

Ever since, I've been telling you guys here in my blog that I'm not really after those things that will make me beautiful, but as time passes, I realized it's not really about giving a damn about what the others might say about you. But what really matters is what really makes you feel or look good.

Honestly I'm kind of a late-bloomer when it come to those to going to skin clinics, hair salons and spas. it has just been now that I was able to accept the fact that I also need to reward myself the pampering it needs.

Most of the people I know always says that  they go to the spa to reward or pamper themselves. My opinion about that (before) is why spend lots of money going to a spa or salon when you can relax at the comforts of your home. My thinking is always like that because husband is the only one that has a job in the family and it kind of makes me guilty when I ever the thought of spending his hard-earned money to those kind of stuff.

But lately,been feeling a little or maybe its just about my hormones getting on me, I feel "awfully" ugly. I know..I know you could say that I am again my 'overly-reacting self". To the point that I'm actually browsing some of the group-buying sites online for the cheapest deal there is about "Hair-Rebonding".

You might ask why Hair-Rebonding ? Why not a deal about Skin whitening (since I have dark-skin)? Well for those who are not that close to me; I already have straight hair since birth (and until now...) but its ends always flies away. And one thing more, I love my long hair. Though it wasn't the shiniest but I give a damn about it. Believe it or not but I am vain when it comes to my precious mane. Like my hair has the biggest consumption of our shampoo supply.

So to cut it short from there. I want my hair to look more straighter but the problem again is I can't seem to trust the deals I've seen online. And I don't want to waste the money I've save up. Good thing is a friend suggested that I try this Hair Salon. She has tried this salon already since it's very evident with her new hair color. She suggested that I check HairShaft Podium.

Uhmm..HairShaft Podium? Just hearing the salon's name helped grew the excitement in me. So after my friend referred it, wasted no time and went there the next day.

HairShaft Podium is locate at the 3rd level of The Podium in Ortigas, Pasig City.

The place is very spacious and the staff are very courteous.

Although there's "tiny-bit" of apprehension, I still manged to walk inside effortlessly. And honestly I'm impressed because their stylists are able to "walk-the-talk". Their Their stylist are even fashionable; even sending me the impression that I'm in good hands, ooopss , My hair, that is :) .

I find this salon fabulous to the extent that even I have not tried their treatments during that time, the impression is "I'll walk out of this place looking more fab!" (that's the spirit, right!?).

This was my photo when I was seated to start the treatments. First, they ask me what I want. I told them that I want a "Hair Rebond" treatment but instead they suggested that I try their new treatment, the Permanent Blow-Dry.

Permanent Blow-Dry is a new technology that will soon replace the Hair Rebonding system. Actually I was a bit surprise because it only took us and hour and a half based on estimation. I thought it will takes us hours because the usual rebonding procedure will take almost 5 hours or so, depends on how thick your hair is.

After the "Permanent Blow-Dry" treatment, next step is Hair Color. I had to re-touch my hair color again because the white hair are showing again. So I chose "light brown" to "touch-up" the white hair that are beginning to show. Unfortunately it is in our genes that white hair starts to grow in our early 30's. My mom  has this stage too when she was my age. So the solution if you don't want your white hair showing-up, go to a salon and seek professional advice.

A collage I made for the whole procedure that I have undergone. One thing that I've learned is that when one decides to visit a salon, one must take the whole day off (if you are working) to enjoy fully the experience. I really felt pampered that night (I visited it on a Monday afternoon and finished almost 10pm). It was really all worth it.

And I like to commend my their staff and most especially my Stylist who was very patient with all the questions I asked him and me being so talkative during the whole treatment. I could not thank him more than enough most especially the owner who was very kind and humble himself.

This is me with my stylist for that night, MIGUEL. I hope you guys try to check out HAIR SHAFT Salon Podium branch. Before I actually went to the salon that day, of course I want to know the work and portfolio of those who are working at HAIR SHAFT. And even the stylists are so fashionable and good at their respective crafts other from being in the salon business. I will update this post once I got a heads-up from one of their stylists if I can post about it here on my blog.

Another "must-know" about HairShaft Podium is ....This is also where Rez Toledo, Vicki Belo and among others gets their Hair fix. OMG, as in Oh My God! That was my reaction when I was told it.

Is your child ready to take on the challenge and the change in our country’s educational landscape? How can you support your child as he faces the bigger world? 

Aiming to help every parent support their child in achieving their full potential to triumph in any test of life, Kumon Philippines, Inc. is all set to once again deliver values and insights for the parents and educators of today through their annual Kumon Philippines Education and Parenting Seminar (KPEPS) to be held on May 19, Saturday, 2:00-4:30pm at Cinema 4 of SM North EDSA, The Block in Quezon City.

To be joined by industry professionals, KPEPS will provide helpful insights for parents in guiding their children as they face the challenges of today and the future.

Mr. Henry Tenedero, an Education Reform Advocate who is the Board Director of the Executive Council of the International Learning Styles Network (ILSN) and President of the Center for Learning and Teaching Styles Philippines (CLTS, Phils.), will articulate the different challenges that children currently face and the possible changes in our education system such as the introduction of the K to 12 program in the local education setting. 

In the next module, “Kumon: Every Child, an Achiever,” Ms. Susie Tsoi, a Kumon Instructor for more than 10 years, will give parents helpful tips on how they can effectively guide their children in facing the current challenges in the educational system and the changes prompted to come in its progression.

HEALTH and WELLNESS: New York Theraspine Hits the Right Spot

Being the mom who’s in charge with the housework in the house, we all experience various aches here and there. What are we gonna do with that, most probably I will go to a massage or spa to help me alleviate my body’s sore spots. But one thing we don’t know if it really helps if we resort for a massage.

When I got the chance to visit NEW YORK THERASPINE CHIROPRACTIC and MULTISPECIALTY  CLINIC, I learned through its owner MichelleNatividad, “That it is dangerous to have your bones and back be touched just by anybody. You need professionals to do that”

NY THERASPINE offers only personalized and best treatments for the most common neck and back pains, to posture problems, and for stroke rehabilitation. NY THERASPINE CLINIC employs the methods of CHIROPRACTIC ,a form of alternative medical treatment that focuses on manual therapy and manipulation of the spine, joints, and soft tissues. When done correctly, Chiropractic not only treats existing conditions but can also prevent potential injuries and illnesses from happening, also preventing surgeries.

I would recommend NY THERASPINE CLINIC to my dad, who suffered from a stroke years ago because NY THERASPINE CLINIC also offers PHYSICAL THERAPY REHABILITATION, which involves the use of heat treatment, ultrasound, electric stimulation, therapeutic exercise, and therapeutic massage with the aim of restoring each patient’s maximum functional independence.

NY THERASPINE CLINIC is not just for those who need rehabilitation, it is also can help athletes or people who are into sports and active lifestyles through their SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY and CONDITIONING. This service aims to rehabilitate muscles and treat injuries of both professional and amateur athletes as soon as possible, so that they may continue playing their sport without having to take a long break for treatment.

Another one of its kind treatment that NY THERASPINE CLINIC is known for its MYOFASCIAL  RELEASE APPROACH. This can be a relief for those people who continuously experiencing headaches, pain, and restricted motion as result of the tightening of the fascia. The people who often complain of these problems are the ones who suffered from trauma- a fall, whiplash or side effects from surgery.

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE techniques aids the use of movement therapy to help restore the patient’s range of motion, alleviate pain, and eventually help them return to living an active, free life.

Aside from the ones I’ve earlier mentioned, the clinic also offers Gym use, Zumba classes, Body Scrubs and even WEIGHT MANAGEMENT  AND FITNESS and CONDITIONING as well.

The doctors and therapists here always ready to assess and evaluate your physical condition. All you need is to just go to their clinic located at 73-G SCT.LAZCANO cor. SCT.TUASON, BRGY.LAHING HANDA, Q.C or call their clinic at tel.nos. 375-1035/ 921-9831.

AYOS DITO launched JOHN LLOYD CRUZ with their New Campaigns To help Online Sellers and Buyers

I love doing everything online because it saves me time and transportation costs. I even read news through the internet. I won't claim that I'm that "techy" but with the fast-paced life we're in I'm sure we definitely have a purpose for that. Trying new things is good especially when it benefits and helps the user.

I'm not the kind of person who's not afraid to try new things. So to cut the long story short months ago I was able to have my first online transaction through Ayos Dito. Me and hubby had the idea of buying a car during that time, so we followed the suggestions of friends who had the experience to browse online, Ayos Dito was the first Buy and Sell Website I've visited.

We had a breeze looking at the  ads that sells cars and I can say it really saved me time and effort. And looking over the ads, I also took the chance to surf for other stuff that are on sale.It's like hitting two birds with one stone plus  with out leaving the comforts of your home. Online Selling and Buying takes us to another level where in Buyers and Sellers meet and do their respective businesses online.

Ayos Dito was very easy to use in terms of website navigation. Any user who's not that very techy (just like me) will agree how easy it is to use AYOS DITO.

Just How Hassle-Free it is to use Ayos Dito?

For Buyers:

• If you need to buy anything from shoes, clothes, toys, a new house or even services. Just go to site by typing at your browser www.ayosdito.ph.

• On their website, SELECT your region and the CATEGORY of the item or service you are looking for .

• Next get the contact details (like email or contact number)  of the SELLER .

• Last is you have to CHECK the ITEM/SERVICE and close the deal.

 

For the SELLERS:

•  First CLICK the POST a FREE AD button .

• Complete AD Details, Description and Attach photos.

• And last is CHECK email for the status of your AD.

 

And to make it more easy for the other people to know more about AYOS DITO and how it can be a useful tool on your personal and business needs, they recently launched its informational campaign through its television commercial featuring multi-awarded actor John Lloyd Cruz.  

 

Jon Santico,  General Manager  of  AyosDito.ph  says that with John Lloyd Cruz’s popularity, it will spark more interest for Filipinos to indulge in this new online experience, that is hassle-free and allows you to build relationships with other Filipinos.

 

EVENTS: 4 Da Best -The Repeat!

Another upcoming event's gonna happen on May 4 and 11, 2012. And get ready for a fun-filled night of laughter and "4 da best" performances of 4 anticipated comedians; Pokwang, Pooh. Chokoleit and K Brosas.

Before this they have already performed for two successful nights with the same concert bill at Music Museum and because the concert was a success thus a repeat is yet yet to stage on May 4 and 11, 2012.

I am so excited to see K Brosas in person because aside from being a comedienne and singer, she also has her own blog.During the presscon, K Brosas and Chokoleit were the ones present.

In my observation the reason why their concerts were a success is because the were long-time colleagues already. Rapport between them is what that helps the deliver the best show they can ever give to their audience.

And I quote Chokoleit as saying" Iisiping ng iba na ginawa na namin lahat sa unang concert. well, that's not true. marami pa'ng sorpresa kayong makikita sa repeat namin. mahirap ikwento, e, basta;"

With teh K Brosas!

"4 da best The Repeat" is produce by AMINE ENTERTAINMENT and directed by the veteran comedy concert director Andrew de Real.

And this group of friends will surely enjoy the concert,,So where are the tickets....?
