Princess Hazel Salon and Spa

Sunday, August 24, 2014



There should be no excuse for men when it comes to grooming. Cutting your nails and washing with soap and water just doesn't work anymore. Men have to do it regularly and with the right people to do it for you if it's available. Aside from that, this is a good activity to do with someone special, your friends or family. In the vicinity of Quezon Avenue and Examiner streets in Quezon City, we found just the right place to get pampered like a king. A lone quaint space in Pacific Century Tower's second floor (Room 203) called Princess Hazel Salon and Spa; it transports you to your own kingdom right in the heart of the metropolis.


The theme of course was fit for royalty. The chairs were ultra comfy and this was where I spent most of the time when I was there. Men don't need to squirm at the sight of fancy things nor do we have to shy away from getting the right treatment that could only benefit ourselves in the end. It's fancy but I didn't feel like an alien... we just need to do what's needed to be done but really felt special. So we sat down in the comfortable chair and got ready for foot and hand treatments that I deserve.


We got our hands cleaned, treated with Paraffin Wax so I felt my skin was soft. They didn't hold back on scrubbing either and used natural fruit based concoctions and it smelled quite nice. They also got my foot scrubbed and eliminated some really hard skin off my sole. They also massaged my hands and feet, cleaned it up again and put in chocolate almond masks that magically goes minty after a while. It smelled good and felt so luxurious after that. A short rinse, then dry, then another massage with moisturizers ended that bout. It was nice and relaxing plus the attendants stories in between would amuse you much quite like a jester in a court. They could probably accommodate 12 people in the place but it would be best if you set appointments if you plan to go there with a group. They also arrange small spa parties and whole day pampering because the place pretty much has it all. Color, cut, rebonding, facials, diamond peel, RF procedures for slimming and toning, waxing, massage, body scrubs, manicure and pedicure, it's easy for them. If you live around the area and think your existing salon or barber shop doesn't do a good job with hair and treatments, you might want to visit and try theirs too.

Western Digital Storage and Entertainment Solutions

Saturday, August 23, 2014



We visited the Western Digital store in SM North Edsa's Annex to take a look at their newest releases specifically the WD My Passport AV-TV and the WD TV Live! I'm no stranger to hardware like these because I configure them for a living a few years ago. There has been some really good improvements but it basically only does one thing (talking about the WD My Passport AV-TV), it's for recording TV broadcast and streams. Even at it's small built, the thing has 1TB capacity but also got a 500GB version of it.



It's also got accessories that can have the device attached to the back since some TV sets in homes are wall mounted. This small wonder can record your favorite shows so you can watch them whenever you want. Using the remote controls of your TV, you can pause, rewind, or fast forward any scene but you have to have the corresponding compatible TV with it. TV Models would be listed in Western Digital's website. Video output is superb and quality is crystal because the USB port is already 3.0, making transfer rate of data faster. Don't worry about messing up the bracket because you've got the Quick Install guide in the box too. Setting it up would be a cinch, else you can visit their knowledge base for detailed instructions.

I also saw something I'd want for my home on display.

Teddy's Bigger Burgers Now In The Philippines



Aloha! Manila's food scene is blowing up! In a good way that is. The number 1 burger joint from Hawaii is in town and they're ready to hit the Phillippines by storm and do one thing in mind , bring Teddy's Bigger Burgers to Filipino burger lovers in Manila!


They are opening their doors at the posh Greenbelt 3 and got us to take a look at their best sellers. Though before that, we got to meet the founders and their crew from the US and also the Philippines. They came from different states too and have gone miles just to train the people here.


They took a minute or two to explain the menu to us but it's very easy to understand. The burgers are 100% pure beef- and use ground chuck, set as 5 ounces per patty, use seasonings, their secret spice, sauces and 3 choices of buns (potato, wheat or lettuce wrap).

UniSilver Time Signs TV5 Timebassadors

Friday, August 22, 2014


Executives of UniSilver Time and TV5 Artist Management Division

In simple ceremonies at the Primero Casa Filipino restaurant in Quezon City, popular watch authority UnisilverTime in cooperation with TV5's Artist Management Division just recently announced the official lineup of Timebassadors from the network. Since 2005, UniSilver Group International Corporation and their watch company UniSilver Time has been making pieces that would reflect the Filipino need for fashion and functionality. Each designed watch has been carefully crafted to meet the demands of today's discriminating clientele and they have not disappointed when it comes to anything that comes out of their doors and the catch is, the price is phenomenally low!


Aside from that, UniSilver Time believes in catering to everyone and this is why they have got the best celebrity endorsers in the entertainment industry and steadfastly affirmed their leadership in the watch industry by believing in artists that could further represent them, their products and services to an even larger audience. TV5's stable of talents never run out of qualities that UniSilver Time looks for and they've signed them up one by one that afternoon.


Ritz Azul
TV5's prized actress and model Ritz Azul who hosts and acts in different programs for TV5 is one of them. She's an old soul and prefers a watch that would be a little over 20's-50's or 60's design and something simple like her that wouldn't easily go out of style. She doesn't like trendy ones and those that goes out of style easily. Good thing UniSilver Time has similar ones that she loves. She's ecstatic that she's representing a prestigious brand in the Philippines and thanks UniSilver Time for the opportunity.
