Lulur Scrub at Oils and Scrubs Spa

So last Friday I finally experienced full body scrub at my favorite spa in Makati City, Oils and Scrubs Spa. I'm a junkie for massages and pampering as long as they are really dirty cheap. The package I availed myself of yesterday was Lulur Whitening Scrub with 1-Hour Massage for P499. If it weren't for their promo (lasting until January 31, 2012), I wouldn't jump all the way from The Fort to Amorsolo and celebrate my <3 monthsary there. Without the promo, a 1-Hour Massage costs P400 and the Lulur scrub alone is I think around P499.



I already imagined it would be great, and indeed it was. Before the scrubbing session started, "Ate" asked me to undress and wear the disposable underwear they provided. Then, she asked me to pick which among the Asian Secrets scrubs I want her to use by smelling them. Holy cow I forgot to asked the difference of the three aside from the fragrance! But anyhow, I didn't smell it much since I was facing downwards. Then it started. My back experienced a scrub like never before! Well, of course I scrub myself at home--duh--but "Ate" managed to wrestle with my dead skin cells in my very-hard-to-reach areas in heavy, circular motion. Felt like she was rebelliously painting at my back.

Once finished, she left me in the cubicle for about 5 to 10 minutes to let the scrub kind of sink in to my skin and then she asked me to shower. The shower room, btw, is fine but was sooo slippery. The rubber tsinelas barely helped. And then of course, I came back to the cubicle dry and had the 1-hour Swedish massage.

After all the pampering, I was given a free Asian Secret Olive Oil Soap. :)

Bottom line: I would love to go back, but I'd rather try their other scrub options like oatmeal, black sugar, etc. I could just buy the same Asian Secrets scrub tub in Watsons for P130 anyway ;)

And be realistic: Don't expect "Ate" to scrub all of your "singits", especially the private parts. Should be thankful there are people who are willing to do it for you :P It's our body anyway.

TonTon Massage at The Fort

After much recommendation from le boyfriend, we finally got to try TonTon Authentic Thai Massage together at The Fort. It's a very short walk from my office in BGC. Despite its high end location, the price is surprisingly affordable. The 1-hr whole body massage is at P350 and you could choose to have back or foot massage only for the same duration and price. That's usually the discounted price for those not-so-popular massage havens in online coupon sites already, and yet it's just TonTon's original rate. Photos from their official FB   (The entire area was so dark that it would make no sense to take photos from my phone) Just like in another Thai massage parlor in Makati called Nuat Thai (P250 per hour), the intro of the whole session was a couple of minutes spent in soaking feet in warm water. Sabi ni boyfriend it might contain something else aside from water since iba yung dulas na pakiramdam once dried na ang feet. Anyway, after that, the massage starts. ...

Casa Roces Restaurant

Ode to Quezon How does dining like a president sound to you? When I first learned that I’m about to experience such a unique food trip, it seemed that my taste buds couldn’t wait a day more.  Forget the continental breakfast.  I’m about to have a presidential breakfast. It all started with a simple online search that led me to the Facebook page of the MalacaƱang Food and Heritage Tours.   As the name suggests, the tour package consists of a guided tour inside the walls of the Philippines’ presidential residence as well as a gastronomic delight where one would be served the favorite breakfast meals of some of the past and current presidents of the country.  The package offers a one-of-a-kind dining experience at the posh Casa Roces Restaurant that stands just across the former MalacaƱang Press Office Building at the corner of JP Laurel and Aguado Streets. One can choose from the following breakfast sets:  Ilocandia Flair, Ilustrado Comfort...

Toastbox, my happiness in a box!

I've been eyeing this uber-cute resto ever since I started working in The Fort, Taguig. Reason was the interior including the comfort room looks like my dream bedroom and the photos of the foodah on the menu look so deliciously sinful. But given the interiors, I knew that that resto would require me to either withdraw a handsome amount of money at my ATM or wash the dishes in exchange for payment. I was wrong. Photo from their official Facebook Fan Page One fateful day, my officemates and I finally acknowledged the fact that we'll be forever craving about this Toastbox unless we give our curiosities a chance to taste it. Sweldo day ata yun kaya malalakas ang loob. O sya, upon entrance, we went directly to the cashier where the pictures of the foodah are placed on a poster above. I saw their noodles ranging from P180-P200++ so I immediately disregarded ordering one. Besides, I'm there for the TOAST. I asked "ate" in the counter about their bestseller toast b...
