A sleepy hullo from Davao!
We just came from a nearby spa called Ayurveda (Mabini cor. Avancena Street) and I’m feeling totally relaxed. I finally got a hot stone massage–something I’ve been longing to try for ages–and it just set me back P225! Can you say “muy cheapo”? Everything was 25% off, but even at full price, it still would’ve come out much cheaper than a Manila massage. My other companions got regular full-body massages at less than P200, and another got one with two masseuses for just P260. Ooh, that’s something I’d like to try, two pairs of hands kneading all the knots away!

I’ve got this work-related trip next week, and while I was looking forward to it when it was first planned, I’m just feeling so stressed now! Since we’ll be gone for three whole days, we’ve had to cram a lot of work into the days before we leave, and a lot of other things had to be pushed to when we get back. Yesterday, I had a 12-hour day, and today was just filled with shoots, pullouts, finalizing reservations, encashing checks, and other non-fun stuff that comes with traveling.

Spoiler alert!
For a movie with so much promise, for one that was supposed to be an awe-inspiring adventure, 10,000 BC was, to be honest, kind of dragging. (I was tempted to name this post “10,000 B-Zzzz” but it wasn’t that bad.)

I am generally not one to complain about bad service, but I really can’t let this one go.
I wasted money and my lunch break to get a blowout (aka “blowdry”) at Visage Salon in Galleria. The dude asked me, “May body po?” to which I said yes. At the end of it, he grabbed a can of some shine mist and sprayed my hair with a flourish. When I stepped out of the salon, I began to feel that my hair was getting oilier by the minute. Instead of the bouncy, body-filled hair I was after, I got me a limp, oily mess. My bangs were hideous and stringy, with strands clumped together because of the shine mist.

Wheee! H got me the Asus Eee PC, and it’s the cutest thing ever! He threw in a router, and Mumsy has been marveling at the fact that both of our laptops could connect to the internet at once from anywhere in the house.
It’s so tiny and so light, and I’m thrilled that I can bring it with me when I travel for work–got a trip coming up in a couple of weeks, and I’m stoked that I can instantly spew out an article after a shoot. Yay! The best part about my new toy? It’s got built-in Sudoku! (Am I easy to please or what?)

Congratulations to the Ultimate Warriors’ Malakas team, which placed second in Pool B (and tenth overall)! Hey, at least the team is moving up the ranks! Hehe. I missed the games (held under a scorching sun, I hear—they were all red that night), but stole a few pics from Doc Jerome:

A friend and I were walking when we heard someone say, “OMG! Talaga?” We both just looked at each other and cringed; we didn’t say anything (not while we were within earshot anyway), but Friend couldn’t help rolling her eyes. It’s one thing to text “OMG” or to type it (you shave off a few milliseconds that way), but to say it out loud…Sigh. It makes me want to say, “WTF?”
