Wonderful Discovery: NUAT THAI Traditional Thai Massage

If you ask me what's the most abused part of my body, I'll be very quick to say: MY FEET! Needless to say, our feet endure the most pressure from our weight. I'm not very light, and my activities, though not sporty, are very active. I commute to work once a week, I like walking around, using fire exit stairs instead of elevators (I'm devoted to saving energy), doing marketing and groceries for the business, and if my schedule permits, I run some laps and play badminton. And though I'm so into flats lately, my first love is and will always be high heeled shoes. Back in my the days, when my energy level was unbelievable, you'll never catch me wearing shoes less than 3 inches high. I still remember how mad I was when one of my friend played a bad joke and faked her death/accident. We, being very good friends, cut our class, and run to the hospital. We literally RUN only to find out it's all a hoax, which is fine with me, except that, I WAS WEARING MY NEW, 3.5...

Product Review: Reb'l Fleur by Rihanna

Aren't we always falling for classy, beautiful things? Oftentimes, fatal attraction starts with the packaging. When my friend Andrea from Prestige (hello, Andi!) asked me to try out Reb'l Fleur (Rebel Flower) by Rihanna , my first thought was "They (celebrities) launch prefumes left and right." But upon receiving the testers, I was magically drawn to its unique, fierce design which was i nspired by the shape of a stiletto heel. If you haven't noticed, I'm a shoe gaga that I'll go naked so long as I have nice shoes and that yes, it's not good to picture it. LOL. Though I have to admit that the bottle, no matter how pretty, is a bit unfriendly with my clumsy hands. From the makers of Reb'l Fleur: "Daring, sexy and truly memorable, Reb’l Fleur is as much in tune with Barbados-born Rihanna’s roots as it is with the glamour of her present life in New York City. Created by internationally renowned perfumers, Caroline Sabas and Maryp...

Food Review: The famous Digman Halo-Halo

If you're from the South, I'm sure you've heard of Digman, a humble baranggay in Bacoor Cavite made famous by Halo-Halo. Halo-Halo means "mix-mix" because you literally have to mix a dozen of different ingredients with milk and shaved ice topped with leche flan, ube halaya and ice cream. When I was young, my family often troops to Digman when we crave for indulgent desserts and Pinoy merienda. So visiting Digman again takes me back to my happy childhood. It's sweet nostalgia! There are several stores in Digman but I've only been to the two more famous refreshment parlors, which incidentally, also claims to be the original. The Original Digman Halo-Halo and Home Made Siopao (which boasts of a patent ha!) and the Talk of Town Original Famous Digman Halo-Halo Special. Don't expect too mucn from these places though, because they are simple old houses turned to stores and still have that laid back, canteen feel. I guess that's part of the novelt...
