Disclaimer : I don't like the idea of discrediting one establishment so as to perk up another. I am not into that. What I do though is that I try to talk about my experiences. And if a place or service sucks, sorry but I have to say it. This is one classic example of that. Note…
Space, it's one important element that many business establishments fail to look closely at specially among spas and massage centers. It is essential because space translates to comfort --both physical and psychological. In a spa for example, ample space means more room to breath. T…
Spice up your next summer out of town by bringing a portable buletooth speaker as we did during our Anawangin-Nagsasa-Capones weekend getaway two weeks ago. Bringing my newest toy --the YELL BTS710 Portable Bluetooth Speaker ---was the life of the night. Overnight camping in Nagsas…
I finally got a dslr upgrade. Well, my Nikon d3000 finally gave up on me (at least the battery) after three long years of being my travel buddy. Instead of buying a new battery which costs more than 2,000 pesos, I thought it would be better to upgrade to higher, better body. Nikon d700…
"Your head is too big and the earphones are too small" , such were the remarks of my wife referring to my new Urbanears #Humlan Headphone. But this is one music companion I would love to bring in my trips and whenever I go out. It's compact so it doesn't take too much s…
It's one massage experience that would certainly land in my #2 list when it comes to the massage treatment itself. My #1 would still be Aum Spa in Crimson Mactan. Ahavia Spa would have to move to #3 and Luljettas Hanging Garden Spa to #4 although I would still rank Luljettas 2nd whe…
Being a woman, you don’t want someone to see you being unhygienic when it comes to your nails. That’s why I make sure that I go to my favorite salon at least 2-3 times a month. Hearing the name “St.Nails” made me think of the word “prestigious”, and that thought made me excited. I was …
This is one brand that I would like to see having many branches across the Metro --- AHAVIA SPA LOUNGE ----and my prayers seem to be heard as they have opened their 2nd branch, this time in a more accessible area in Quezon City.Yes, Ahavia Spa Timog is now open to those who value rewardi…
By the time this is posted,I might be somewhere in Bangkok having "authentic" Thai massage. I wanna experience what real Thai massage is like and see if their masseurs are really good. Having said that,I remember the massage I had along Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur last year.…
I guess this is what they mean with "A Slice of Manila's Hidden Places". AHAVIA SPA LOUNGE is no secret but one which is literally hidden (being located inside a residential area in the middle of San Juan rather than on a main road where most business establishments are.…
Although many guests already look for it,many hotels still shy away from opening a Spa wing.The reason is because it is easy to establish but difficult to sustain.Point is,it is difficult to maintain the quality of spa services offered.Other than keeping the facility clean and functional…
I would like to specifically make a separate post on our Spa Experience at CalloSpa Antipolo as it is worth another entry.It was actually a Sauna-Jacuzzi-Massage combination as part of the Affordable Escape with Overnight package we had the other week week. CalloSpa is a small scale Spa…
One of the most popular posts on my blog this week is about a Spa brand with branches in Pasay and Antipolo.I published a few months ago but it has shown resurgence getting more than 2,000hits.This only shows that a lot of people are searching for places where they can relax after the …
I think I am making massage and spa houses in Manila rich. I am a regular at some of them, even twice a month at times.But if there's one Spa worth your money, it would be Wensha Spa. Wensha Spa is my standard when it comes to massage.I go here not as a blogger but as a regular cust…
I know I badly need a massage again.My back muscles are so stiff it hurts.Damn, hobby ko na ata magpa-massage! But I guess I am not the only one.Along with progress comes the changing nature of work for most of us.You know how often I complain about staying long hours in front of the com…
Been to so many spa and massage shops this past few months.I have been dying to write about each unique experience but haven't done so. This decision therefore to write about AUM SPA sets the bar high for my future Spa/Massage reviews. But it can't be helped.The deep tissue mass…
"I think we should do this more often. remarks my wife, I think I should alot a particular amount of my monthly pay on my skin care, obvious na ang mga signs of ageing" I nodded and nodded and nodded.It's true.Especially with a series of travels in the last few months, incr…
Yes, POSH NAILS Marikina now moved to a new location in Gil Fernando Ave near Sta.Lucia East Grand Mall and were there during the soft opening on May 5,2012.My wife has never tried Posh Nails so it was a perfect time to introduce the brand to her.In my feature post before, I talked ab…
