The heat just keeps getting better this summer. It's always been scorching hot outside! I find that a lot of us tweet about how sweltering hot it is, myself included, but i'd rather have this kind of weather than the rainy season. Sun and heat have been part of my life for too long, hence, i always look forward to it. Unlike with rainy season, I don't prepare for it and I have never wished for it as well. Clearly, I love summer!!!
Truth be told, however, I haven't enjoyed any beach yet... Weekly intake of the popular halo-halo and mango shake are the only things that brings back summer vibe in me. I do hope that I get my doze of beach happenings this year though.
Anyways, I'll be sharing with you some of our pictures from our Tagaytay staycation way back when we still had cool breeze in the air. We stayed at T House Bed & Breakfast. 'Coz we found a great deal at Deal Grocer! Yes, i'm a fan of deal grocer and it's the best group buying site that I have ever encountered plus their offerings are thought out with sophistication and class! Most of the things that they offer aren't those you would normally be enticed to get on a regular basis. Go, try browsing through their site.
T House Bed & Breakfast is like a boutique accommodation that imbibes zen-inspired style. It's structured in a modern minimalist too, which makes it good whilst the limited space that they have. The cool weather also helped make the place a great way to escape the heat and bustling Metro Manila. You can easily find yourself cozy under the sheets and it'll still be an amazing hibernation worth every penny. Haha. But of course I did not just do that... Food is also a great concern on my end. They have their chefs who work in an enclosed clear glass which makes anyone see how they work their magic on our food. It's a cool sight to see, I just feel that its awkward for the chefs. Their food can be rated from being so-so to being great. My companion said that their wagyu steak is delicious and melts in the mouth! I had a few bites from it and I agree that it is amazing. Oh and their french onion soup! Omyyyy. I first tried it here, and it's a great comfort food that you can eat from their menu. It tasted so delicious!!! The rest of the food are okay. =)
Maybe, you'd be able to spot a great deal from Deal Grocer soon 'coz they would normally bring back some of the hit package that they had before. So just watch out for it. I recommend this place if you want to have a cozy staycation in one place. And maybe you can roam around Tagaytay since it's near Picnic Grove and other spots.

With regards with their pool. We braved the cold water. I plunged myself in the pool to have an instantaneous acquaintance with it. Brrr. Too cold!!! Not much of a good idea really. Then maybe the keeper saw that I was freezing, he turned on the heater of the section of the pool which is made for a jacuzzi-like experience. Good job kuya, 'coz I definitely needed it. I was in the pool for a good hour. Oh and by the way, we were the only ones swimming, so we owned the pool! I felt like it was my own even for just an hour. *Dreaming*

You know how hard it is to think about your legs the day before you would need to don on some skirt, dress or shorts? To the lucky ones, I know it's easy breezy. However, it's difficult on my end since i've got hairy legs. It's pretty annoying. There would be days when I wanted to trade my legs with other girls' legs that aren't hairy.
What I do to remove them before? Waxing. It was my main method in removing hair, and there is also some plucking whenever some stubborn ones grow faster than the others. This procedure is okay but with inconvenience on the side. Besides the fact that I have to undergo pain during waxing, after a week or so of being hair-free, I end up feeling uneasy for numerous reasons. It gives black pigmentation on skin when they're about to grow, the skin feels unpleasantly bumpy when it's growing out of the skin; ugh, I can still remember the excruciating itchy feeling whenever it's at that stage of growing. There are several more but those are the main reasons. It sucks! I want to show my legs with full confidence that they won't be able to see any flaws on my legs. I guess this is every girl's dream anyway.
So, an action has been taken on my part, when i've got my windfall... I ditched the thought of waxing!!! I finally decided to go under PAINLESS DIODE LASER HAIR REMOVAL at Skin Station, about two weeks ago.
This is not a decision I made overnight... I have thought of this for about four months or so. This has not been in my option before since it's an expensive alternative. However, when I got the chance to finally get into it. I did, but still needing the convincing power of my dear sister who have gone this treatment way back since we both got my mother's hairy gene. She really talked me over this matter and I gave in 'coz I realized that this is an investment that I have to take to be able to freely dress-up on any day since working in a banking industry means I need to amp it up a bit. Plus the fact that summer pertains to showing legs at some days doesn't it? So, I have considered this a smart option.
For details...
I have considered Skin Station since they give competent price on their treatments. I bought their promo package which is Php 16,000.00 for 16 months. It is expensive at first sight, but I have to tell you that this is actually very competitive price to give on their part. 'Coz doing this treatment at others would mean more moolah to shell out or if its way cheaper than that, I think safety would be at risk... Also, my sister have experienced their service before so, she was able to tell me good feedbacks regarding their service.
You have to have hair on your legs when you go in their clinic. Then, the therapist will shave it off your legs. Afterwards, it'll be covered with cold jelly which will act as a lubricant and protection of some sort to your skin when the laser gun will be kneaded on your legs. The experience itself isn't 100% pleasant 'coz it's my first time and the laser light can still bite harder on my hair! It's still ouchy but tolerable. My sis told me that it'll feel less painful on my future sessions.
After the fifth day of my treatment, my hair starts growing already, but most of the re-growth have less resistance so they can be removed using both thumb and index finger only! Amazing! And don't pluck those hair with resistance 'coz it's what said on their pamphlet that they gave me. Haha.
Now, I feel much better than before, although they're still growing... So, I still have to undergo more sessions to vanish them!!! Lol.
Below, is the picture taken during my first session.

Please no judging of legs here or else!.. Just kidding, but seriously please... Lol. :D
I would totally recommend you to go to Skin Station and avail their ongoing promos since they seem to have tons of them. =)
Here is the link of their promo page: http://www.skinstation.ph/promos/
Anyways, tell me your annoying stories regarding stubborn hairy legs and i'll be all giddy reading them.
Maybe we can share some thoughts on this matter. :D
Finally! I have tried this super hyped Resto right around BGC... I have attempted a lot of times to eat in here but I always end up intimidated by the looooooong queues that it would normally have during weekends. So, I always get disappointed when I plan to eat here. *Sigh* 'Coz I won't normally want to wait that long. You know... Frankly I don't think that I should wait for that freaking long line just so to be served and be filled. I'm not up to that challenge 'coz the baby worms inside my tummy might transform into a dragon if I do that. Haha. Exagg... Well, anyway, I was able to eat here on a Monday morning, that was on April Fool's. Yeyy!
I dragged my parents with me since we were all hungry from our trip back to Manila. This means they would pay for our meal! An extra yeyy for me! Because, it's quite obvious that their breakfast meals are pricey enough for my pocket. They're meals are normally ranging from Php 180.00 - 300.00++++ which is not that shocking since they are the INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF PANCAKES. And true enough, their meals are tasty and flavorful at some extent. An occasional visit here is fine, specially during breakfast! You'll truly feel an American-vibe kind of breakfast. State-side! Though you wouldn't find me here on a daily basis.

The thing that I liked most about their food is their-- BACON! Ironic isn't it? Their bacons are meaty, crispy, and delicious! I'd definitely want an extra of those when I get back to IHOP. How about their pancakes you might ask??? Hmm, it's good but not good enough for its price?... I feel like their pancakes are soggy. However, I'll suggest you order their waffle since its bigger in size plus it's better in texture. =) Moreover, I like their different flavors of syrup. They've got four flavors which are all delish but I love their butter pecan the most. :D
Maybe, I shall try their omelettes next time. Tell me your thoughts about their omelettes...

This will be a memorable breakfast for me, well mainly because this would be the moments that I can cherish after my parents leave the country. Their ambience that day made us have some fruitful conversation and we were able to rest for a bit before we go on window shopping!
Toodles.
