Capitol Hills Bluewater Day Spa

Posted on February 27, 2009 by greenbucks| 7 Comments

We were able to attend the opening/launching of the Capitol Hills (Quezon City) Bluewater Day Spa last Tuesday with bloggers friends Noemi, iMom, Wenchie and Cookie and more

One of the highlights of this event was meeting Piolo Pascual who is one of the endorsers of Bluewater Day Spa. The other endorser is Marian Rivera who was also present during the event. Piolo is charming and articulate, no doubt about it.


When we ambushed him for an interview in one of the rooms at the spa, he advised hardworking people to “love yourself more”. He also said that it is important to relax and rejuvenate especially if one has been working hard. He in fact has full body massage at least once a week, sometimes even he is in a set for shooting.

Calamansi Flower

Posted on February 26, 2009 by greenbucks| 26 Comments

Napakarami kong larawan ng mga magagandang bulaklak. I have many photos of beautiful flowers.

Pero napili kong ilagay ay bulaklak sa ibaba para sa aking Litratong Pinoy entry. But I chose the photo below as my Litratong Pinoy entry:

Calamansi flower

Simple, puti, maliit. SUbalit sa loob nito ay isang maliit na bunga na magiging source ng maasim at masustansiyang juice na hitik sa bitamina. Simple, white and small but inside is a small sour fruit that would be  a rich source of vitamin c.

Bakit nga ba ito ang pinili ko? Kasi na-excite ako sa mga maliliit na bulaklak ito sa aming maliit na hardin ng mga pu-puwedeng kainin o ilagay sa pagkain pagdating ng araw 😀

View From the Sidewalk

Posted on February 23, 2009 by greenbucks| 4 Comments

We went biking and walking Sunday morning at a nearby sprawling campus. It was a bit late when we started and I must say the weather is getting a bit warm these days.

The younger children and hubby rode on their bike and I walked.

I got interested in taking a photo of one of the colleges, the one near where we were staying under a shade.  I saw a man with a tripod who was taking photos of the building so I took a photo too 😀

KFC Kung Pao Chicken Pasta

Posted on February 20, 2009 by greenbucks| 4 Comments

Lunch today was KFC’s Famous Bowl Kung Pao Chicken Pasta. The dish is probably copied from a Chinese food called Kung Pao Chicken that came from the Szechuan Province in China, famous for its spicy food.

I am fond of spicy food and this one tickled my fancy. It tastes good enough though the sauce should have been “thicker” instead of being a bit watery. It could be better when served paired with garlic buttered toast or a slice of pizza.

Tipanan

Posted on February 19, 2009 by greenbucks| 26 Comments

Para sa mga magsing-irog, importante ang magkaroon ng lugar na tipanan na masasabi nilang espesyal at bahagi ng kanilang relasyon. Dito sa tipanang ito, saksi ang lugar sa mga pangarap, paglalambing o kaya alitan ng mga magsing-irog.

For couples, it is important to have a meeting place that they consider special to them and is a part of their relationship. This place bears witness to their dreams, sweetness and even their arguments.

Kung ako ang papipiliin, mas gusto kong tipanan ang nature, kumbaga at least dito, kahit kung minsan hindi mo maintindihan ang panahon, mas kaiga-igaya at nakaka-relaks.

If it were up to me, I would prefer the meeting place to be outdoors because it is more relaxing.
