Chasing a Dream:Choosing Happiness:Chance Offered...grab all

Please welcome me back...

I just got back my wifi modem after downgrading my unlimited plan 899 to limited 450. Holidays and holydays are approaching and I'd be spending most of these times on a place where I cannot get the most of the unlimited wifi connection,so went the downgrade to save more Php (for gifts?) :D

I'm sort of chasing a dream (not the kind you get by sleeping but the kind where you stay up and study), and that requires passing all exams(which will be next week)...and my plan was to go home earlier,eat earlier so I can study earlier but Centrio Garden is at buzz for this is where Mercato de Oro is situated so maybe I can stall awhile and just wake earlier tomorrow so that I can study earlier. 
There are food stalls (from full meals to snacks to cakes and cupcakes). There are also trinkets for sale,tables where you can eat comfortably and live music. My plan was to just sort of scan the area just to know what it has to offer and come back later with some moolah and friends. It's useless when you talk yourself into not spending and you end up giving in to spending. Though I have to admit, it's a good find and will be useful too.

the bag that gives a chance to help...
Just what I needed: A bigger bag to accommodate more books and a constant reminder why I'm in this hullabaloo kind of life. (just kidding on the hullabaloo part)

PagBAG-o Project (Change Project) is a creative livelihood collaboration between housewives in Xavier Ecoville who produce the bags and Xavier University students & alumni who make the designs.

Xavier Ecoville is a resettlement community for Topical Storm Sendong survivors located in Brgy. Lumbia, Cagayan de Oro City. Supporting their pagBAG-o project by purchasing these bags will keep the livelihood alive thus will continue to support families in the community. This project is also currently supporting typhoon Yolanda survivors in Visayas.



Go buy one for yourself and more for your friends and family. :D

They have a spot on Mercato de Oro's bazaar ;you may also contact them at pagbagoproject@gmail.com or find them on facebook pagbag-o project or thru 0935-370-9448

MASAS Mexican Cantina mobile: 0917-314-4612

landscaped...errrr...hairscaped I mean :D (My hairscape experience)

I cannot erase the thought of having a haircut might turn out as horrorcut after..(to think November is just outside our doors), but I'd like to have a newer look before I go home in the mountains for the holidays.

All I wanted was to have some bangs swept on the sides (sideswept bangs it is) and tadah! I ended with a full haircur and a fuller ego*. 

'Twas my first time to try Hairscape.Ph in Centrio-Ayala Mall and I was on my usual solo flight modes (that means there's no one to tell me whether I'm off to a good place or a doom place) but I'm glad I went in anyway..

Hairscape.Ph gave me a sense of comfort (as if trying to tell me "relax,your head/hair will be in good hands":D). Their haircut service came with a relaxing shampoo massage (I could've  stayed lying there and enjoy more of the massage). I was offered drinks (tea ? water?) of my choice and it's free. What I love more was the initiative that I was given a magazine in case I wanted to browse one (That's being sensitive of what type of customer they are having and I'd like to assume that they sensed my shyness ).

Mae was my stylist,and thank heavens (at last!),someone told me that bangs might be not so for me since I have a low forehead. She recommended a bob and some treatments that my hair would be very happy to have (I guess,bob's my forever and pixie will just remain in my dreams). She definitely gave me a haircut that sent my inner self grinning widely from ear to ear evily (I told you, my ego's full).

It was also my first time to have two people (mae & marisol) working simultaneously in blowdrying my hair (the fuss did made the experience worthwhile---add three more people to work on the manis, pedis and make up, and I'd feel like I'm some make believe celebrity ).

I just didn't had a haircut, I had myself Hairscaped...and Oh,they finished it off with a spray of TIGI Bedhead product ( If I'm not mistaken that was the HeadRush).


One haircut can turn your world around.
People may see the difference but there is more to that....YOU (with the new haircut) can feel that difference.

I don't want to post pictures of myself in shiminisheng but moi/ego is full so I'm posting it anyway :D

There I go, after the overflowing of close and open parenthesis I just want to tell you that my experience was definitely worth having.

Have your own experience, Hairscape.ph is located at 3rd floor Centrio-Ayala Mall. Find them on Facebook hairscape.ph



P.S. It seems that my Sundays are becoming FIC (Fruits in Ice Cream) days...I had a scoop of Choco Mint variant.
