doctor fish

Undoubtedly, the Fish Spa experience that my friend Amaury and I had while we visited Manila Ocean Park is fun and to be considered worth the trip. It definitely gave us an amusing feeling at first when the fishes started to feed gently upon the loose skin, removing it in a not unpleasant ticklish manner. It was on a timed 20 minute session but it felt like it was forever when we have relaxed after the fishes started to nibble. Then after the whole therapy, we felt total exfoliation on the dead layers of the skin cells.What a way to relax! And as we left the area, we mumbled "one day we will come back for this!"


But wait, as I was about to post this I also thought about the downside of this therapy. Having the the fish clean off the dead skin of the legs and feet can be a relaxing experience, but there may be also be a risk of serious infection."A customer steps into the spa water and if, unfortunately, he or she happens to have an infectious wound, the infection can definitely spread to other people who step into that very same spa tank..It's both the fish and the water that could cause infection. Nevertheless, it was some kind of experience...

Relaxing Piano Music - My Dreams





Facebook

Just found this quite interesting and worth a ponder..


Give, but don't allow yourself to be used.
Love, but don't allow your heart to be abused.
Trust, but don't be naive.
Listen to others, but don't lose your own voice."

T'was on a warm Sunday on May 15 this year that we joined a friend to tread the roads to Lucban, Quezon to witness how the town celebrated "PAHIYAS FESTIVAL". It is the people of this town's way of celebrating thanksgiving to pay homage to their patron saint of harvest SAN ISIDRO LABRADOR.








And one way of the celebration is the house decoration contest that is held every year for almost the entire community. Then they can showcase what artistry and creativity can do for them by making use of the resources they got.
Here's some of the interesting fotos :



What really caught our attention though is the " KIPING". It is made out of rice paste and was shaped into leaves and was used as decorations.
It was so interesting to finally see the real one and even had the chance to taste it!
How ingenuity is always demonstrated as part of the Filipino culture.

to blog or not blog..

It's been sometime now since I made a blog..and perhaps it is time for me again to put into words the many things that has been happening ( be it good or not so good ;) and share with friends and to the rest of the people out there in this virtual world who has time to spare a little in reading ..my musings.
I guess from now on this will be my hideaway and, like it or not the rest of the world will get a glimpse of it all and their random exchange is most welcome.

So here we go..
