A Month of Sundays via Instagam

Unbelievable. Nine days to go before we bid September goodbye and  I only have one post for this month. 

I want to blame our super not trusty and rusty wifi connection at home (ANO BAYAN?) because everytime I start composing my thoughts, it always says "An error occurred while trying to save or publish your post. Please try again." I can't help not to ignore the warning. It's too discouraging. Next thing I know, I already closed the window and move on with my life. 

AND IT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. 

I'm so trying my best not to click the upper red x of my browser as I continue typing this message of dismay...

Never mind. Let's get moving. I just want to make up and share what kept me busy during the days I missed blogging. Thank heavens for Instagram, I'm still capable of supporting my stories with photos of wonder moments and nonsenses. 

Monthly Period, September 2012 :)

Lunch out with cousins during the Grandparents' Day.

I have countless lunch-dinner dates with Monica lately. Here we are dining in at Bai Yok, an "authentic" Thai cuisine. 

We went to Century Park Hotel last week for a gown-fitting with the family. With me were my ever so supportive sisters!

Minna might curse me for reposting this but I don't care. I hate to say this but I guess this will be our last (complete) group shot for now. </3

Monica and I Freyja-d once again. We love Freyja! Story behind this photo soon. :)

That's all for now. It breaks my heart to see only a couple of entries this September.. I promise to try my best to at least make it five. If you have any suggestions or requests (hahaha feel ko lang) on what you want me to write, just tweet, email or send me a message anywhere. You may also leave a comment below.

Have a happy weekend!

Pampering Day at Freyja Day

"A girl is gentle only if she just had her nails done." 

RIGHT.

Monica and I pampered once again at our favorite place, Freyja Day and Nail Spa. It's only a few minutes away from our Broadway office so on a regular weekday, we spoiled ourselves a bit--we deserved a little R&R. Plus, it was a pay day.

We also looked forward to be seeing Ms. Shirley Roganda, managing director of Freyja, again after their participation in one of our TV5 events. We built a good kind of friendship with her since we met her and we promised to support Freyja forever. I don't think this vow will never be broken... we love Freyja's services, its staff and the entire place!  

Who wouldn't love this scene?

I personally love the blue-brown motif of Freyja. It is so relaxing to look at.

I look fat. Sigh.

Monica and I were pleasantly accommodated by the staff. They immediately prepared the flower-shaped basin--Monica's favorite, where we had our feet soaked in a warm, bubbly water! 

Two ladies started working their magics on us. :)

We got the Celestial Manicure and Pedicure, Php 360. The price is very reasonable because of its complimentary hand and leg-foot massage and they only use...

ORLY :)

It was so hard to pick colors from this lacquer tray because all the shades are pretty. I told Monica that ten fingers aren't enough for us. :D 

Eeny meenie miney moe..

I go-ed for the gold while Monica opted for the HRH-ish inspiration.

My Mom told me to always use the same shade for my hands and feet when I get them polished but I think gold would only look nice on my hands so I chose a lighter, and almost colorless, shade for my feet--a pinkish one, French manicure!

French manicure + square nails. <3

De-stressed! :)

Thank you, Freyja!

Monica and I enjoyed our short pampering time together. :) Looking forward to our next session there, we really want to try the body massage and the body scrub!

Freyja Day and Nail Spa is located on the second floor of Sekai Center. It's along Ortigas Avenue corner Madison Street, that's right across Starbucks Ash Creek. Like them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter, @FreyjaDaySpa.
