I haven’t written a blog post about my PhP312 YSA Diamond Peel voucher which I bought through Ensogo. Ensogo is one of the many online discount voucher sellers. YSA is a chain of dermatological services clinics in Metro Manila.

My YSA Diamond Peel experience was good since I didn’t feel the service was short-changed because we only paid for a third of the original price.

I learned a few things when I claimed this service:

• Don’t wait till the last day to go. I did and there were already a lot of people who are lined up before me. I was the fifth client.
• Be early. I was early, around 10am but four others were earlier.
• Be prepared to get bored. I brought along a netbook and went online while I waited for an hour and a half for my turn.
• Be courteous. There was one client who came in around 11:30am and ranted on and on because she and her 4 other companions will have their turn around 4pm. They can’t go anywhere because they have to wait there. Turned out they had packed lunch in their car. LOL.
• Be prepared to feel a little pain, especially from the pricking. I don’t use blackhead remover so I guess the staff had a hard time removing those dirt on my big nose.

I ask if I have wrinkles and the staff who serviced me said no, I don’t have wrinkles yet. Yey! But wait! I do have some itty bitty warts starting to make themselves be seen, ugh!

I can’t find my Mini Maglite, one that has been with me for almost nine years. This flashlight has been to the places where I went and has proved to be useful in several occasions.

I remember removing it from my handbag and putting it in the luggage we checked in at the airport last week. Among other things people don’t put in their hand-carry bags are things like these plus big containers of alcohol, perfume, mouth wash, and even don tomas. Not sure about the last one though.

The Mini Maglite has a little chip because dropped it one too many times. I’m going to get a new one soon but this is not going to be as special as the one I lost because it came from my hubby.

Why hello there blog, we meet again. I’ve been extremely busy these days with so many offline stuff work.

I promise I will be more attentive to you and your need to have new posts that aim to cheer up the few who stumble here, teehee.

We’ve been quite busy here, tests left and right. There’s also a bit of repair done on the roof, under the sinks and in the backyard which brought me a bit of despair because two pairs of slippers and a ginsu knife were lost. Don’t need to go figure who got these, hmph.

Just as I thought tests are done. here comes two more students having their fourth quarter tests till next week. Gaaah!

I remember vividly what happened during the big quake back in the 90s. At the dorm where I was staying, we had to stay on the ground floor so each of us brought down our mattress and bedding. We prayed like never prayed before and didn’t sleep until we were extremely exhausted.We were ready to get out of the building, just in case.

I was so worried about my family who I just saw a few days before the big quake. We had to wait till the phone lines were restored before we were able to call our parents because mobile phones were still non-existent during this time and so do Social Media and the internet.

Re Japan earthquake yesterday, a lot of agencies have started mobilizing their resources on how to help Japan. A few minutes after the quake struck, people all over the world bore witness to the devastation. And a few minutes after the tragedy, people started to find ways on how they could help through online connections.

Wow, technology sure does work wonders in times like this. I just hope some scrupulous people won’t take advantage of this situation and create scams where they will benefit.

It happens, sad though it may be.

Pixie’s Bangus is one dish we get if we are running a bit late in going home from somewhere and there’s no time to cook. That or we always have it during family dinners with the in-laws.

The smell of Pixie’s Bangus is good enough to whet the appetite. The kids love it too.

Lately though it seems that I might need a table lamp to see the veggies inside the fish OR see the fish underneath a pile of tomatoes. Nah, I’m kidding but I have to admit,  something’s different with this food: less of these tomatoes and onions now compared to 3 years ago and the bangus are smaller and the prices are a bit higher.
