Sheng Wants Fossil Ladies Watch. Be Mine!
It's been a while since I last posted in this blog. But what got me blogging this time is not a product, place, service or anything that I'd like to rave/rant about. It is for a chance to win one of these two beautiful Fossil Ladies Watches or this chic Kate Spade pouch:
Aren't they so pretty?
The contest holder/blogger is so generous for giving away these prizes:
1st prize - Fossil Ladies Watch
2nd prize - Fossil Ladies Watch
3rd prize -Kate Spade kikay kit (orange)
And I'm hoping to be one of the lucky winners. (Please Random.org, hehehe)
The contest started last Oct 12, 2010 and will run until Dec 18, 2010. What a wonderful Christmas gift it will be. So what are you waiting for, you still have 5 more days to join.

Service: Earth Organics Spa at SM Sta. Rosa
Last week, I experienced some twitching on my right shoulder that went up to my neck and down my back. I tried massaging myself and also asked my husband to massage me using liniment oil, hoping these would relieve me of the muscle aches. But three days after, the pain worsened and I couldn't raise my right arm, sit up straight or use the computer anymore. So I decided to have a massage.
We live south of the metro (San Pedro, Laguna), where there aren't very many spas and wellness centers to choose from. I was thinking of trying those spas that line up the national highway, but husband suggested we go to SM Sta Rosa instead because he saw one there (and because he wanted to take advantage of the free WiFi while I'm having a massage).
The spa that he was referring to is Earth Organics Spa, located at the second floor of SM Sta. Rosa. When we went there, an attendant immediately gave us a flyer (pricelist of the services they offered) and ushered us inside. I chose their Signature massage, a combination of different massage techniques including Shiatsu, Swedish and the traditional hilot. It costs P399 for 1 hour, which includes the use of the shower room. But because I still have my period that day, I chose to skip the shower and just had my feet washed instead.

Product: Shulammite Carrot Soap
If you've read my 2 other soap reviews, then you are aware that I am on a mission--a mission to find a soap that can effectively control my long-time and on-going pimple problem, and give me a beautiful, glowing skin. After trying out Cyleina Organic Soaps, I found another one that looks promising, based on other sises' feedback on GirlTalk: Shulammite Carrot Soap.
I was delighted that the soap is available at most Watson's branches and I won't have to find a reseller to purchase the product from. I've nothing against reseller, but because I live outside of Manila, finding a reseller that can arrange a meet-up near my area can be frustrating sometimes.
So on my next trip to SM Muntinlupa (I think there's a Watson's drugstore in every SM malls), I bought 1 bar to try. Shulammite Carrot Soap comes in an orange packaging and costs P94. Some were able to buy this soap at a cheaper price at local Chinese drugstores in Tutuban Mall and Quiapo. I find it nice that it has an expiration date on the box, so you'll know if you're buying a fresh soap or an old stock.

Event: Tanduay Rhum Rockfest IV
This is not really a review, but a narration of my experience at the recently concluded Tanduay Rhum Rockfest IV held at SM Mall of Asia Open Grounds. This is my first ever rock concert, and I'm not really a rocker. I am your average mellow/acoustic/light-rock/easy-listening music listener. But I happen to be married to one who loves rock music, the band Wolfgang especially. And when he learned that they will be playing at the 4th Tanduay Rockfest installment, he bought us two VIP tickets (bought 6 bottles of participating liquor products to secure 2 VIP tickets actually).
And that is how I found myself lining up at the entrance of MOA's concert grounds at 4 pm yesterday, October 15. To be honest, I was a bit scared and unsure of what to expect, being a first time rock concert attendee. I know rock concerts are identified with mosh pits and body slams, and all sorts of those rowdy behaviors that can lead to accidents or to somebody getting hurt. But my husband was there with me, so I felt a little safer.
Still, when we were just outside the concert venue, waiting to get inside, and I saw the type of crowd that we'll be rocking with, I couldn't help but be fearful again. They are you're black-clad, sporting Chuck Taylor sneakers, I-don't-care-if-I-hurt-you-as-long-as-I'm-having-fun-looking, smoking, ready to trash and bash and mash and squash type of rockers.My only relief was that I was wearing black myself, so I sort of felt I was "in" with the crowd, with the wardrobe at least. But other than that, I was afraid I don't have enough 'rock' in me to get through the night's big event. But I didn't want to spoil my husband excitement so I had to brazen up.
