It's called Lasema jimjilbang spa and is located in Makati!!! wooo! it's near our friggin school! not that near though but i just happen to pass by the street where it's located!

Introducing Lasema spa!

Three very unique honey bee comb shaped dome structures which are actually hot saunas provide a misen-scene backdrop of a traditional Korean village. These charming dome structures are sanctuaries of wellness that utilize thermal therapy, an age old tradition being practiced in Korea, Japan and many European countries. The 3 dry saunas are made of dome clay a healing mud from volcanoes that stimulates blood circulation and increases metabolism, salt and charcoal sauna made of salt crystals and Hwangto know for its detoxifying properties. Think of how we usually place charcoal in our refrigerators to remove toxins and odors, the charcoal cleanses the body of such toxins and impurities. The oak and clay sauna made of oakwood and hwangto have been proven to intensify the body’s curing process. My favorite room is the one with a temperature of -11 degrees where real snow abounds. Enter here for that cooling down, or frozen delight experience where you are tired muscles and tissues recover from fatigue and stress. In this ice room, stare at the ceiling peppered with real amethyst, topaz, sapphires and other valuable stones.

Traditional korean dishes like chapchae, bulgogi and hearty soups are served at very affordable prices.

HELL WEEK!



i didn't realize up to now that we have a lot of projects lined up and the most stressing project of all is our IT137 (Mulimedia)

Why do i have to do Flash Animation!! urgh! i only know how to do the basics for pete's sake and the deadline is next week!(i thought i have more time to procastinate) I'm not much of a Multimed student I didn't sign up for this -.-

We also have a project on our C++ programming but for some reasons i'm not really that worried since my professional groupmates will handle all the work BWAHA *okay just kidding*



- Watched My Girlfriend is a Gumiho ! finished watching the episode 8 and now patiently waiting for the release of episode 9 english subtitles! I also watched "Playful kiss" which is a korean remake of "It started with a kiss". It was nice :) kinda reminds me of Princess Hours and doesn't Jung So Min (aka Oh Ha Ni) resembles Yoon Eun Hye especially the lip part!

The Faceshop Haul


Skincare stuff!! promised myself that from this day onwards i'm gonna take care of my skin...

Also, my Etude house cleaser ran out 2 months ago so had to bought another one.

Okay, 2 months ago, i kinda switch from my Etude cleaser to the Garnier pure cleanser thinking it would be much more nicer than Etude since i saw this advertisment and it looks promising.

Garnier pure pore unblock foam claims that it would make your skin smooth, skin be able to breath, purifies skin, elimitates impurites and makes your skin FAIRER.

FAIRER MY ASS!!!

Honest review of the Garnier pure pore unblock foam.

Pros:
  • inexpensive

Cons:
  • Made my skin DARKER
  • Made my pores bigger
  • Made my skin dry
  • Made my skin have this little red bumps
  • Packaging looks shitty and matches well with the price

Verdict:
My skin got worse and got like little red bumps and this thing attracts acne like a magnet.

This stuff doesn't work FOR ME but it might work for you ,who knows.

Would i buy this again?
HELL NO! I throw it in the trashcan where it belongs

Story:
I got scared when i got acne on my forehead although it's only mild but it's so unlike me to get acne :( and i haven't expericed my acne stayed that long in my forehead and it's MULTIPLYING!! for over a week already it's just that usually whenever i get acne/pimples it stayed only for 3-4 days and then it's gone without leaving a mark i know it sounds crazy but that's just how my skin works.

So i just thought that i have to act now than feel sorry later.


Back on the Faceshop haul.


Dewy Flower Toner, Brightening Rice Water Cleanser, Pads (for the toner). I bought 2 cuz 1 box contains 20 pads plus it's inexpensive.



"  Rice water foam cleanser smoothes skin to improve the look of makeup"

Formulated with traditional rice water once used by women of Korean Royal Court, this whipped cream deep cleansing foam clarifies and brightens skin without dehyration

omg. I'm shocked! Just what it said on the box, It really did brightens my skin not only that it made my skin somewhat glow! this is why i love Korean skincare products so much!!


Dewy Flower Moisturizing Toner

 In real life, the bottle looks so A-DORABLE! and Yes, it's made out of glass



Help your skin regain it's inherent radiance with THEFACESHOP's line of Dewy Flower skin care products, Exclusively formulated with extracts from seven various white flowers and other botanical extracts to help moisturize and protect skin.




Essential Mask Sheet - Pearl for clearer skin.
Honestly, this thing refreshens your skin but it's just soooooo STICKY!

Verdict: 
Absolutely does nothing.



that's all for today :)

Mistaken again...

ANOTHER RANDOM ENTRY

Have you ever mistaken for another ethnicity?

I have, i think it's already a part of my life that i have to answer professors and classmates who keep asking me If i can understand tagalog or asking me if i am half this and that.

I don't really know if i'm a halfer, i remember my sister said that we have chinese blood and she wrote it in her blog like 1/4 chinese something like that. I never get to ask my dad about this blood thing since we are so far away and when i was in highschool it never occured to me about all this other blood thing.

anyways,


So today i got mistaken again, you see i was rushing to go to my Math subject and was stopped by a dude which was my classmate from English Class. He was asking me about my class and if i was willing to take the time to fill out some survey and since he is speaking in english and i figured that he speaks that way since he's half french i unknowingly replied him in english too (and i sound forced) -.-

The survery, i think was meant for other nationality like koreans, japanese, chinese, indians, americans, pakistans etc. So I think he mistook me for a Korean -.-

the questions were like...

Do you have a lot of Filipino friends? [fck yea. all of them are filipinos]
letting me choose somewhat between the ratio of 1-5 considering 1 is the lowest and 5 is the highest.

Can you cope with professors speaking in Filipino? Are you comfortable being around Filipinos?

and a lot more.. their were like 10-15 questions.

It was mainly a survey focused on other nationality who are staying in Philippines and studying in the University and if they were able to cope with filipino students/professors.

But i filled out the form anyways HAHAHA :)) i don't have the courage to speak in english and tell him he got the wrong student to answer this but i think he'll know anyway i answered on the blank beside the Nationality that i'm a filipino.


:)

Mcdo delivery = awesome

Being the lazy girl that i am, i don't like going outside the condo waiting for the elevator and passing by a wall that smells like PISS, a mountain of trash around the area and smokes coming out of the vehicles and the LRT!

over all.. i fcking hate the POLLUTION here in Manila!!! i cannot wait to get out of here and move to another condominium!

and speaking of piss!!!! It bugs the hell out of me seeing men urinating on the walls here and there as if it's a damn portable toilet for them especially those "tambays" [tagalog slang word meaning: a person who does nothing at all or a jobless person]

i feel like my face cannot breath by all these pollution in the air!

MANILA IS AIR POLLUTED BEYOND ACCEPTABLE!!!

i mean isn't Manila supposed to be the capital of the Philippines! then why don't they hire lots of street sweepers, fix the damn road and sewage and put up garbage cans!

Note:
Makati - business center of the ph, lots of high-rise buildings and POLLUTION-FREE!
Manila - capital of the ph and 90% POLLUTED!


/end or rant

So yeah, i ordered online for a home delivery, i rather do that than go down and get my face covered with toxins and shit!

I just washed my face so fcuk no under any circumstances am i going to go down.

so here's what i ordered online :)

Gumiho Funny Moment!



So made an image slideshow thing slash animation or something like that -.- cause i'm lazy to edit a very long comic strip..

I haven't been able too sleep properly since that time i did our brochure for our MMA (Multimedia Subject) we have that subject even though i'm an IT student which doesn't make sense at all but it's okay.

I've been cracking my brain for ideas that night its really tiring especially since we weren't allowed to use images in the internet or stock photos so i had to painstakingly vector it. urgh!

Right now, i can't think of anything my head hurts so bad that i didn't go and had to turn down watching "Despicable Me" with friends & batchmates.

Anyways, this is what i made, A tri-fold brochure, it isn't that great though i tried my best -.-

I have actually 2 versions of it. One is the vectored cover and other is the image cover.... because last night around 2am, when i was about to sleep one of my friends told me that we weren't supposed to use images from the internet. -__- so you could just imagine my face.. had to vector and think of new ideas.



First page (cover)


Second page (inside)

p/s: i had a bad day on the printing stuff too!!! not only my first print at "Pindutan" turned out to be shitty... i was drenched in the rain too. gahh! so had to reprint it somewhere else and it's cheaper and looks great no faded colors or anything.

ohhh kayz. 'night readers :)
