An invitation

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.

Jeane Napoles and Her Collapsing "PDAF" Tower

( Jeane Napoles enjoys hanging out with Hollywood's popular young actresses,  oh, well, the things money can do) Like the average Filipino, my knowledge of Jeanne Napoles is limited to what I would overhear over TV or radio. We all know that she is the pretty, socialite daughter of PDAF Queen, Janet Napoles, the PDAF Scammer.  The family activity would not even be \revealed to the public had Ben Hur Luy not exposed the modus operandi of Janet Napoles.  Now, the Filipinos, here and abroad, know almost everything about this family and what they did with the money that they allegedly scammed from the people with the help of our legislators namely:  Juan Ponce Enrile, Jinggoy Estrada and Ramon Bong Revilla, Jr.   I'm not really going to dwell on the dynamics of the deed, I leave that to the senate fact-finding committee and anyone who is curious about this MO can go to Mr. Google and that info is available anytime, anyplace,. I'm really more interested i...

I'd Rather go Walking

Walking is one of the best exercises because it does not require any fancy equipment and at the same time, does not require the use of some ample space unlike say, yoga or dancing where you need to perform the routines within a certain  area and swimming, where you need to be in the pool or go to the beach .  What is advisable though for walkers is a good pair of walking shoes in order to be comfortable in walking.  A good pair of walking shoes would be very light, airy and with a low supportive heel for easier rolling of the foot from the heel to the toes.   Walkers benefit from walking because it is believed to be effective in:  a) weight loss b) decrease of cancer and type 2 diabetes  c) Improving disposition d) Staying fit and healthy The ideal duration of time to walk for physical fitness and health is from 30-60 minutes daily.  But studies also have shown that 15 minutes can also have the same effect.   When done pr...

My Very Own Pumpkin Soup Recipe

            P umpkin is one of the underestimated vegetable, but it is one of the abundant ones in the Philippines.   Slowly however, pumpkin is gaining serious recognition as a very versatile vegetable.  I have seen it prepared in different ways.  The Japanese would grill it.  Koreans would make it into croquettes and sometimes healthy kinds of juices.  And there would be more in  the future. All one needs is a little creativity.        I discovered my own recipe when I tried to find a way to utilize a medium-sized pumpkin. What i did was I sliced the pumpkin into smaller slices for easier mashing.   And then I placed them in a kettle with water not more than the amount of pumpkin.  Just enough to soften the pumpkin and be mashed easily. Once it is soft and can be mashed, you can prepare the following: tofu - diced into small pieces ground meat (for the vegetarian, you can skip th...
