Sunday indulgences....

For two reasons, I decided to take a walk for almost an hour from my residence to the marketplace. That's free exercise and fare-free as well. After buying some fish and my favorite "dahon sa sili," I headed back home to show our new househelp how to cook "tinola." After cooking the simple dish, I moved on to the next task of giving my dogs a bath. That done, I hit the bathroom for a quick shower, ate a quick lunch, and tryked to Marirose Beauty Salon for my weekly manicure, pedicure, & facial.

Villa Eden Resort, 20 minutes to paradise

A short 20-minute trip to another island will bring you to a place called Liloan, Santander, Cebu where a quiet resort called Villa Eden beckons with its awesome facilities enough to make any visitor gasp "heaven." An eternity pool that seems to meet the blue sea, a tennis court, bar,good food, a function room, cozy rooms overlooking the sea that lashes with its cool clean breeze, and a panorama of hills, rocks,and flowers to feast your eyes with. It is a place perfect for honeymooners or any sort of get-together. To go there from Dumaguete City, one needs to only take the fast craft in Sibulan and voila, after 20 minutes, you're in paradise.

Ten Favortie things...

If Oprah has her top ten favorite things list, every other human being also has, and definitely, I too have my own. Here they go:

1.Having my weekly manicure, pedicure, and foot scrub is so relaxing.

2.Full body massage---Swedish combined with Shiatsu, please.

3.Rambutan---a kilo of it I say, definitely completes my day.

4. Playing with my three playful pet dogs---makes me feel like a child again.

5. Reading. Anything that comes in handy on any given day.

6. Dressing up. I love doing this once a week for my TV show.

7. Dancing. (sighs) I really miss doing this for a long time.

8. Simply being with my family---that's heaven for me.

9. Driving. I love driving! Miss this too.

10. Being in control of my time by having my own business. Nothing beats this---when you're the boss and you call the shots.

Simple stuff really. It doesn't take much to please a human like me. LOL

internet cafe as new nanny..

Years back, when the internet still was unknown, busy parents would just turn on the television set and leave their children to watch shows all day long while they do their chores. Today however, with the emergence of internet cafes in our country, parents find it more convenient to just put their kids who are old enough to use the computer, in safe internet cafes where they can play their favorite computer games while they do their shopping and other tasks minus the hassle of bringing along the kids. All they have to do is to inform the net cafe attendant that the kids will be picked up at a certain time. Times have changed.

What is it to "party?"

Great. I was at this party and all I did there was sit and eat. The food was good, the venue was a delight, and the people were fascinating but at the end of the evening, I felt like I hadn't exactly partied. Why? I didn't get to dance because the people who I know there weren't up to dancing while my feet were itching to hit the dance floor and exercise myself to death to the beat of the latest songs being played. Sigh. What's to party, anyway? It is to enjoy and have fun and one doesn't get that sitting down nor is eating my idea of fun. What a bore. The people who I asked to dance were way younger than me in years but they seem to be suffering from a case of early old age.

I have observed several times in many parties that when the time comes for everybody to dance, people would start going home, leaving only a handful who want to keep the party alive but are unable to do so since everybody has already deserted the affair.

Do we only attend parties in order to sit and eat? Come on....
