Chase Your Passion

You already met Blair, our new iPad2. (if in case you missed it, please read it here... Along Came Blair)

And now, we would like you to meet Chase.

So why Chase??? First let us define Chase.

chase (Definition)
- To follow rapidly in order to catch or overtake; pursue;
(Source: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/chase)

Chase, as my wife suggested, would certainly fit the description of this iPod touch 4th gen that we waited for several months before we could actually hold on to. Chase is a free gift from EastWest Bank's Balance Transfer promo for first time credit card holder. But it took almost three (3) months for us to receive the voucher. Hence the name Chase. We were able to redeem our voucher from iStudio Shangri-La branch.

Chase is also one of the doctors in US tv series "House" that we love to watch.

But seriously speaking, Chase is the name that we reserved if ever we will be given a Baby Boy in the future. Such a handsome name for our new toy.

Until next time.

Ciao.

Along Came Blair

It's been a week since I first told my wife about the promo of HSBC and SW!TCH, one of the authorize re-seller of Apple products here in the Philippines. They are offering iPad2 for 24 months at 0% for HSBC cardholders in all their stores until end of October.

It's been a week since the time that I felt I really wanted to have the iPad2.

It's been a week... And now I am currently downloading IOS5 for 'Blair', our new toy.

I already spent many hours playing Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots HD and also purchased several applications. Most of them are for my little angel.

And I think this is the start of many sleepless night.

Ciao.

Time to Relax at Shui Hilot Healing Spa

Last Friday, we were able to use our much awaited hilot-spa courtesy of discount voucher that we bought earlier this year.

After coming off from work at 4PM, I hurriedly left the office to fetch my wife and drove to Libis. I really wanted to leave the car at home because I'm not familiar with the place but my wife insisted that we can make it on time. We had scheduled hilot-spa at 5PM by the way. I prayed that we could get on time because the traffic was really bad from my office to St. Paul Pasig. I was really tempted to get off the jeepney and just run towards Shaw Blvd, thankfully I did not. I arrived at my wife's office around 4:30PM. Still enough travel time left, or so I thought.

After we left, we encountered another traffic near Shaw Blvd going to C5. MY wife was still very relaxed while I was starting to get frustrated because of all the traffic that I already encountered in the span of one hour.

After we passed a stop light it was a breeze all the way to Libis. We arrived at Shui Hilot Healing Spa (pronounced as Shway) around 5PM barely making it to our schedule.

After we checked our reservation, we were led inside a small room, (small as compared to other big named spa that we already tried). The staffs then cleaned first our feet (some sort of foot wash) before we proceeded to a "spa bed" then ask us to stripped down to our undergarments. We were not given a bath robe, maybe another difference between a regular spa and a spa with a traditional hilot.

After a few minutes of waiting, therapists went inside our room and started with the session. At the beginning, they have placed glasses at our back aka ventusa therapy which was new experience to us. This is an alternative medicine therapy that relaxes your muscles and removes certain toxins from your body. I wanted to take a moment off first and take a snap shot of how it was done, but I was already enjoying the comfort of the spa. Maybe next time.

When they were massaging our feet, it seems they were using some piece of bamboo stick and poked us at different points in our feet. The hilot-spa session lasted for about an hour and a half.

After several months of physical and emotional ups and downs, It was nice to have this kind of quality time for relaxation.

Hope you enjoyed this relaxing session with us.

Ciao.
