My YSA Diamond Peel Ensogo Voucher Experience
Mar 29th 2011greenbucksAround the Metro & Money Watch & Philippines & Skin Care
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!

Summer Visit

I can’t wait to go to hubby’s family home down South to visit my MIL, hubby’s grandma and aunt.
When the kids had their month-long summer vacation there, they loved spending time in the garden and rooftop room where the air is cool.
Their house is a bit new, with wooden cabin furniture and white walls. The windows are always open to let the cool breeze in the house, something we don’t do here where we live. Here’s why.
Philippines Highest Power Rates
Feb 23rd 2011greenbucksFor Information & Me & Money Watch & Philippines
Reading about the Philippines having the highest charges for electricity gives me immense headache (like I don’t already have one yet since I’m sick).
Here we are, doing ways to save on electricity among other expenses, never mind if moms like me who handle the budget have acne breakouts losing sleep on how to make ends meet.
Then we read this kind of news. It is very, very disappointing, disheartening, horrible.
Sigh.
