Jason Magbanua

Can I just share? I found this video a couple of months back and I can't help but get goosebumps when I watch it. It's so so sweet and the effects and the music just made it even more breath taking.

Watch James and Tania's wedding video here.

I am officially a Jason Magbanua fan. I actually inquired about his rates. He's definitely out of my reach. But his work speaks strongly about his reputation, his name, his brand. :)

To soon-to-weds, you might wanna check out his packages!

Happy Wealthy Spa

I am quite giddy. Last week was good. Attended a party in the morning, ate some goody cupcakes, went to SSJ in GH, and finally went and got my pinakaaasam-asam massage! So I think it's time to share my experience with the world... or at least to my readers.

One of my favorites when it comes to affordability and really good massages is Happy Wealthy Spa. Talk about convenience, it's quite near our place in Ortigas, so double points for that. The services are reasonably priced. 1 hour foot and back for P350, 1 hour and 20 minutes for P400 (which I usually get), 2 hours for P600 (which I'm dying to get!)

I got the 1 hour and 20 minutes package. So as I wait for my place, they always serve hot tea while waiting. They have cubicles and not rooms, which some might not like, since you get to hear the chopping sound of the therapist right next to your cubicle. Or you might hear some customers talking while you're trying to sleep. They have 2 private rooms though, one is a couple's room, meaning there are 2 lazy boys. And the other, good for families, 3 to 4. I've tried their private rooms before when I went there to get my massage with O. I've also tried the cubicles.

This time, I was assisted to a cubicle and asked me to change to shorts. You see, this is the only down side for me. They do dry massage on your back. If you've been reading my entries about my massages, I love love love love oil massages and really dislike dry ones. I just find it eeky and it hurts because the clothes rub on my skin.

The massage starts with the foot spa and head massage. It wasn't hard and it wasn't soft, which is just perfect. The stress was instantly starting to decrease, thanks to Lorna's (the therapist) technique. Afterwards, she moves to the arms. This was the part when I dozed off. Haha! I know... it was premature dozing off. It just showed how stressed and tired I was. Later, was my favorite favorite part! Foot massage!!!!! It was Thai massage which I really like. I think I've only told Lorna to make the pressure harder just once, and she got it perfectly. The foot massage was terrific, I slept for the most part. Next was my back massage. Liked it? Not so much, because it was dry. :( Boo! I asked my therapist to go back to my head since my head was spinning and I really needed more massage. And she did.

I slept right after and I think took a nap for about 20-30 minutes. Haha! :) That was how good it was!!! After that, I left Happy Wealthy feeling relaxed and well... happy! :)

Cupcakes by Sonja

What better way to celebrate a good news and a holiday but be with your loved one and have a good yummy snack!

Yesterday was a holiday, I had so many chores to do, but since I was with O, I still had a great time. (We ended up sleeping around 1:30 in the morning the next day!) We stopped by Serendra to go to Backstage and eat lunch. Before heading back, O and I went to Cupcakes by Sonja to grab some tasty goodies.

Giddy giddy while opening the box!

Here's my cupcake. I ordered Peppermint Patty.

It was mmm-yummy! The cake was dark chocolate, but I didn't even taste the bitterness of it. I liked the icing because it wasn't too hard unlike the other cupcakes. And as usual, it had the signature Sonja's sweetness in every bite!

For O, he ordered Mint Condition.

It was also really good. This was the second time we ordered this cupcake. What I didn't like about it this time though was the chocolate chips on top was a little bit hard (so I assume that the chips were a little bit old. o_0)

We ended up sharing our cupcakes with each other. (Aawww sweet!) Him feeding me and me feeding him when it's my turn (since he was already driving when we were about to eat Peppermint Patty.)

We love eating! :D Overall, the cupcakes were really good. But I think what makes them so-tempting is the icing! Really really sweet, really really yummy! I don't know if elder people would enjoy this treat as much as we do. Maybe a "less sugar" version would do for them. :)
