Friday Letters

Dear Friday, Done already? I haven’t enjoy my rest day yet. This is not a long weekend for me. I have work tomorrow. (sigh....) Dear Daughter, I am struggling with my recollection letter for you. I have a lot of things to say but I don’t know how to start. Aside from that, I will miss you so. You will be gone for three days for your school’s retreat. I hope you’ll learn a lot from this. Things that will help you with your daily decisions in life. And I wish you and your group a safe journey. Dear Husband, Thank you. Thank you for taking it slow with me. We still have a long way to go, but I think we are getting there. I just hope that by this time we’ll do things right. I already gave up and this is the last chance I will give to us. If this won’t work, I guess it’s the end.  Dear Someone, Thank you and goodbye.

Red Wood Spa : A Not So Good Experience

Last Saturday, me and my friend, Gie,  avail the voucher we purchased from dealspotPH. It was a body scrub + foot spa + facial package for only P 299.00. We are very excited because the location is very convenient to us. However, when we find the place it was a spa and dental clinic rolled into one. The staff were not wearing uniform. I thought some of them were clients too. The place was a mess. The music playing on the radio was too loud. But we are still all smiles because we came there to relax. Than a guy told us that we are going to start with our foot spa. Wow! In less than ten minutes our foot spa is done. They just soaked our feet for 5 minutes then scrub it for another 5 minutes...done!

Afterwards, they ask us to go into a makeshift room. They told us to remove our clothes. We expect to find a robe or a towel or a sarong to cover ourselves but nothing is there. Just a piece of cloth slightly bigger than my handkerchief. Well, maybe it's for the face (hmmp!). When we lie down the scrubbing begins. Or should I say the 'coating' begins. Yes, coating! No scrubbing. They just covered us with coffee smelling goo. They didn't even bother applying it to our underarms. just the back, legs, arms and shoulders. after 5 minutes of application they told us to take a shower. That is when they handed our robes, finally.

Well, I don't want to describe the shower room. It's disgusting. The walls and the floors are not tiled. I can't barely move because it's too small. The drain keep on clogging. And they just gave me a bar soap to wash myself. I told you I don't want to describe it eh!

And then, we proceed to another room for the facial. This is the only part I enjoyed. The girl who did my face was good. They also include diamond peel to our facial. Basta, my face felt very clean and moisturize.

my face after the facial...so clean. wala na nga akong kilay oh (i don't have eyebrows anymore)

Well, all in all I don't like the experience. We don't even bother to give a tip. After we're done we just walk right out of there. Well, they don't even bother thanking us also. Haaayyy...

Music Monday #013: Zoren-Carmina Wedding

My entry for this week's MM is inspired by the wedding of my childhood idol. Carmina Villaroel is an actress here in the Philippines and ever since I saw her I decided that she is the most beautiful and the most classy girl among the actress at her age. I copied her hair, clothes and her gestures. I like what she likes and I hate what she hates. She marries young and got annulled because her husband turned out to be gay. Then she met a guy of her dreams. They had a twin. And after 12 years of being together the guy decided to marry her....without the bride knowing it! Yes, the groom did everything the bride should be doing in a wedding. All the details. And everything was a secret to the bride. I cannot fully describe the details of the wedding. All I can say is that it is the sweetest wedding I watched. And I am happy for my idol that she finally found a man that will love her unconditionally.

Here a re some of the songs in the wedding:

"Grow Old With You" by Adam Sandler is what the groom sang before he proposes to his bride under a made-up cherry blossom tree. The bride went to Japan once just to see the cherry blossom trees.

After the proposal their kids enter singing and dancing their own version of Bruno Mars' "Marry You". This is how they are telling their mom that she is going to get married that night.

And this is the song for the bridal walk, her most favorite song of all time. She was greeted with all her friends and family as she walk. Her knees are shaking but still she gracefully walks as she keeps on telling herself that the wedding is indeed happening.

I know I can't explain fully how it felt to watch what's happening at the event (even though I am just watching it from our television). Until now, as I write this, i can still feel the kilig. I am just happy for them and wish them a blessed family life.

Here is the bride and the groom...
