Elite Nail Spa


Today, I conquer my fear of having a manicure! after years of struggling to whether or not try to have a manicure! :)

uncompromising high standards and surprisingly cheap service still do exist! high quality spa is hard to find now in a local city. salon and spa showed up like mushrooms here in pasig and many of them also have closed down.

my sis and mom always go here often and i wonder why, they have customers as late as 10pm daily. wow! that's really a manifestation of their quality service!. 

you may think I'm over rating this spa but honestly, all of their employees are very good and very accommodating. so far non had shown attitude. 

they offer a lot of services ranging from various  kinds of manicure, pedicure and nail art. from lightening spa pedicure, to dead sea mud pedicure, to the basic pedicure and manicure. the most expensive is the lightening spa pedicure which costs 380 pesos not bad! again, i would like to reiterate that quality of their service is really good. 

Note to the readers: they are best at manicure and pedicure, as for other spa treatment, its ok. it's not the place that you will go back every time but, price is reasonable and appropriate

they have facial services (no pricking, no laser, and no brush but i think they use good quality facial products)
they also have waxing services, bleaching services, body scrub, massage, ventosa massage, banana leaf massage, slimming massage, etc. (]they have a lot to offer!)

ambiance wise, and location,  = 8/10
room temperature = 7/10
comfort = 9.5/10 (i so like the coach - very very comfy)
service = 9.9/10



btw, they don't use local brand of nail polish they use orly and other stuff. i think they have 4 or 5 brands to choose from (from very colorful to just basic colors) well if i was a girl, i would go there every week to change my nail color. they have this big cabinet just to organize their nail polish.

check out my very clean nails! :)

(sorry for my hand! but it transformed into a normal hand!) such a shame that i did not take a picture of a before hand, but you may not want to see it! it's like a hand of a brontosauruz rex! 



Imagine, for a very basic manicure which is 70 pesos, you got a luxurious treatment at elite!. you get to sit in their very comfy chair, the room temperature makes you want to sleep, the delicate handling of your hand, it's a magical place! no wonder they don't ran out of customers. 

my sister's hands and feet are not touched by any other salons / spa, only elite touches our nails! hahaha 


if your in pasig, please do try elite! you wont regret their service! :)

Singapore!!


Hello Singapore!

It all started when dad ask me to check the promo of cebu pacific going to kuala lumpur (he loves to travel and fortunately he always brings us with him - Hurray for us!). it turns out, the tour promo package sucks. 3days  2nights, depart from naia at 11:50pm you only have like 2 days for travel. so i suggest to him to divert the tour to bangkok for thr 4 of us

next day. he came home with booking! hahaha so fast.

4days 3 nights via PAL and accommodation is in Indra Regent Hotel

FLOOD!!! just about 2 days before we depart the travel agent advice us there are massive floods in bangkok. luckily PAL divert the ticket for free to any country, and viola! Singapore!





All Set!



Singapore Skyline @ almost 7pm (approaching changi airport)


we arrive at changi airport T2.


Holiday Inn Orchard Road



Checked-in @ Holiday Inn Orchard Road.(we had 2 rooms with 2 double beds ea.) then we ate our dinner at Mcdonalds. The quantity of food is same but the condiments are unlimited. Then we roam around the orchard road for a while.




Buffet Breakfast. for this plate, i took ham, cheese, hash brown, chicken sausage (it tasted kinda weird but nonetheless tasty), fish fillet (tasty and flaky), bacon, and egg benedict.



Marina Bay


Mall in Marina Bay they have a Venetian type of attraction


Marina Bay at night.


A very innovative and different kind of show. i was so impressed. i think it was at least 30 min. and it's for free!


Singapore tour is not complete without shopping at H&M!! :)


local cuisine at Singapore

If you tasted pad thai, then it's just same. Singapore cuisine is a little bit different compared to thai and chinese cuisine. i think singapore cuisine is a fusion of chinese, thai, and indian. this particular cuisine, compromises of shrimp, mushroom , string beans, and the likes.



Merlion @ sentosa.



 PO!


 Betty Boop!



 The Mummy Booth



Universal Studios entrance




A Horrible experience.



 Shrek 4D! (Briefing area - not the show itself)

time to leave singapore. awww.

such a wonderful city country. beautiful, clean, disciplined, but expensive! we took the last flight back to manila 11:35pm. and at that time, most passengers are OFWs and it's a bit noisy inside the aircraft. well, not to blame them but i understand that they are so excited to go back to finally to be with their families.

will i go back to singapore?! YEAH!! :)
