An invitation

By
I got into spa-ing (if there is such a verb) back in 2000 when the concept of wellness was slowly getting popular and people were becoming conscious of their health while utilizing natural means or natural ways of therapy.

 I remember visiting Manang Luz, a blind masseuse, regularly back then because I would feel muscle pains at my back and left part of my body and often engage her in a conversation just to pass time while she magically reduces my body pain with each stroke of her finger.

 To this day, I still visit Manang Luz. She, and her other blind companions would give massage services to people living within the UP Diliman area. It's been a strong 8 years.Because of the passion I have for massages and spas, I have decided to share my journey into the exciting world of spas by opening a new blog entitled: A Spa-cial Life, please come and visit at your pleasure.
I hold a lot of dogmas regarding kindness, positive thinking, and affirming oneself and others in order to rake in good karma and get what you want. Life is short, get rid of all negativities.

Ms. Jamaica, Kaci Fennel, Wows the World

She probably is not the typical beauty pageant contestant with her short-cropped hair, but boy she can carry herself regally.  Tall and shapely, Kaci hails from that nation where the music "reggae" originated.    A real dark horse, Ms. Jamaica was not even in most of the predicted top finalists, but her classy appearance, in the tradition of Hollywood beauties Audrey Hepburn and  Halle Berry,  wowed and impressed the judges.  Her modeling background did play a big role in her disposition.  Camera lenses just love her, they can't get enough of her.

Tea is considered a healthy beverage.  According to studies there are many benefits that tea gives our body.  Among the benefits we get are:  better dental health, healthier circulatory system, lower cholesterol, anti-cancer qualities, it's an antioxidant and an antiviral agent, and a host of other disease preventing characteristics.   Studies have shown that it is best to drink tea before dinner in order for the stomach to get filled up partially and also before going to bed to feel relaxed and mentally destressed.   I am a tea-lover and I like to put lemon and honey in my tea for two reasons:  to add zest to my drink and also to reduce the bitterness.   Lately, the market has been infused with this new beverage called 'milk tea.'  All of a sudden, there is a milk tea branch in every corner of the city.   Milk tea is a beverage that is part of the culture of people from Hong Kong.   It is black tea mixed with milk, usually...

Hello Caitlyn Jenner, Goodbye Bruce

By

Vanity Fair ushered the arrival of Caitlyn Jenner and people have mixed emotions about it.  Some people still could not believe that someone so popular and world-famous was willing to give up fame to give way to his, now, her, happiness.  Caitlyn Jenner is the dream-come-true of Bruce Jenner, a facially-transformed male, therefore he is Bruce Jenner no more.   Although Caitlyn often makes slips like using he, instead of she, in her mind, she was always a woman/girl.   So she wasted no time, after getting a facial transformation, and started hosting 'girls night' with her girl friends so that they can all discuss about girl stuff (whatever those are , considering she is over 60 already). How does she look now after that operation? She seemed to get the best features of Jessica Lange and Kate Winslet rolled in one, a neat package that is cover-girl worthy.  Kate Winslet's lower facial  features and Jessica Lange's sharp upper features make a grea...
