LONG WEEKEND IN THE CITY...GARDEN HOTEL

I know, I know.

I haven't posted a new entry in exactly 16 days.  All I know is the fact that I got physically and mentally exhausted of all the activities that I've been doing and of all the chaos that surrounds me that I have to step back, breathe and clear my head.  Have you ever felt that?  Maybe it's because the world is spinning too fast for me to keep up and is just making me dizzy that I felt sick.

So please forgive me if I've been out of radar these past few weeks.  But hopefully, I am back now. *smile*

Anyway, I'm glad that there are such things as long weekends.  Helps the hardworking and mostly underpaid citizens of this country take a little break from their corporate life and spend more time with themselves, with their families and with their friends.

Speaking of long weekends, I had the chance to stay in one of Makati's business hotels, City Garden Hotel to defrag and recharge.  Inasmuch as I want to escape the city, I can't just yet.  So, I decided to make the heart of the city my home for a few days.

THE VOCA PEOPLE ON A SATURDAY

Was browsing You Tube when I came across this group.

"The Voca People is a new international vocal theater performance that combines amazing vocal sounds and an acapella singing with the art of modern beat-box which imitates the sounds of drums, trumpets, guitars and other instruments and musical effects without using any musical instrument on stage, performed in a humoristic way and with audience participation."

Watch and enjoy!

Amazing, isn't it?

Happy Saturday everyone!

BIRTHDAY EATS & TREATS, p.2

Since my birthday fell on a weekday, it is fitting that I extend the celebration until the weekend.  So, my part 2 happened yesterday.

I woke up early to welcome the sunny Saturday, got ready and was out the door in 2 hours.  Well, I know that 2 hours is a long time to prepare but it takes me about an hour to take a bath (with all my seremonyas).  I headed to Nail Tropics in Serendra, Fort Bonifacio.  I've been a regular client of Nail Tropics since October 2007, when they were still 2 months old in Serendra.  I go there twice a month for both my hand and foot spa.  That's another thing about me, I always have someone do my nails for me since I was in 4th year high school.  I have sensitive cuticles though so I stick to a good manicurista when I encounter one.

My visit was also a good timing because Nail Tropics celebrated their 2nd anniversary in their Serendra branch and they gave 20% off on all services.  They also offered 20% off on their gift certificates.  As soon as I came in, Amy, my trusted Nail Artisan, greeted me and led me to one of the private rooms.  While she's preparing, she let me have bubble bath for my feet and I clicked away.

 

BIRTHDAY EATS & TREATS, p.1

Last 2007, I had my Death by KaCheapan party. 

Last 2008, I had my Death by Kapistahan party.

This year, no DBK party for me.  Just a simple kaarawan for me.

My birthday month hasn't ended yet so I still might throw a party.  But right now, I just wanted a quiet and relaxing celebration.  On the day of my special day, I went to celebrate half the day all by myself.  It was sweet.

I watched The Proposal with a bucket of popcorn at my favorite movie house.  I was laughing my heart out because the film was tremendously fun and funny. My favorite part was when Sandra Bullock was chanting and grooving to "Get Low" by Little Jon and the East Side Boyz.  I was clapping despite by bucket of popcorn.  Yes, I clap while laughing whenever I encounter something funny.

After the movie, I went to church to hear mass.  I thanked the Mighty Being for all the blessings he has and has been continuously giving me.  I promised him that I will keep on appreciating life and love.

When the mass ended, I went to buy my latest favorite...

FRO-YO!

Comes in 2 sizes, regular and large.  Plain yogurt is priced at Php80.00 for regular and Php110.00 for large.  You only need to pay Php40.00 for 3 toppings.  Of course, I went for the large cup and got me 3 toppings- walnuts, fresh mango and new york cheesecake.  It was the best!

Lately, I've been craving for frozen yogurt almost every single day.
