Medical Tourism and Cosmetic Surgery

Posted by Karen Ang on Jan 19, 2012 in General, Lifestyle | 1 comment

Admit it. When you think of plastic surgery, you immediately think of Belo because of their very effective media blitz. But what about other clinics which have affiliations, better services, and more affordable? When I was shopping for a doctor to do my lapband surgery, I researched for a long time until I found the right one for me. The same should be done for plastic surgery because it’s a medical procedure which will have far reaching effects in your life.

I’m going to need plastic surgery when I lose more weight. I will need to get rid of excess skin because I’m beginning to look like a Shar Pei. I also want to get boobs because I lost mine when I lost fat. The face will remain untouched though. I find nothing wrong with a little nip and tuck. When you are feeling insecure about your body and you have the money for it, I say go for it.

I was sent a copy of The New You magazine with the Iza Calzado cover.

THE NEW YOU is a quarterly guide to aesthetic medical tourism in the Philippines. THE NEW YOU is conveniently divided into sections, presenting plastic and cosmetic surgery, non-invasive procedures, cosmetic dentistry, anti-aging products, vitamin and supplements and dermatological treatments. THE NEW YOU is the only publication fit to introduce doctors, clinics and hospitals who compose the cornerstone of medical tourism. THE NEW YOU actively promotes hotels, leisure, entertainment destinations, and entertainment packages which complements MEDICAL TOURISM.

When I got it, I was like “WTF?! Why would somebody send me such a magazine?” but after browsing through it, I found it informative. My favorite piece is about man boobs. I should probably give this magazine copy to Ade Magnaye.

I’ll be giving away a few copies of the magazine soon but if you can’t wait, you may contact (02) 7296198 or (02) 7295678 M-F 9am-6pm. Or email online_marketing@thenewyou.ph for orders.

The nightmare that is SuperSale

Posted by Karen Ang on Nov 17, 2011 in General | 0 comments

Last November 3, 2011, my iPhone 4 got stolen during the SuperSale bazaar. I’m still upset with how the organizers dealt with the situation. So many thefts happened in all 3 days of the event. When my phone got stolen, there were at least 4 others who were victimized. It’s really a surprise because there weren’t much people in the bazaar except for the last day. Security was horrible and what really got my goat is the fact that the organizers didn’t notify me when they caught someone in the act of theft on the third day. I mean, what if that person was the one who stole my phone? I still remember the faces of the thieves who victimized me and I could have testified, right? But no! Not only did they not inform me, they never bothered to get my contact details. I had to bug them about the status of the case then tell them to contact me in case there is any update. Sad to say SuperSale is the first bazaar I participated in and I had to experience this. I’ll never join an event organized by SuperSale.

So Apple a.k.a. Steve Jobs just announced the release of OS X Lion and new versions of MacBook Air and Mac Mini.

OS X Lion will retail for only $29.99 but it’s not advisable to upgrade from Snow Leopard. You will need a clean install so as not to mess up your system.

This is it! I can’t wait to watch the final installation of the Harry Potter movies. Here’s the newly-released trailer by Warner Brothers.

I’m sure I’ll be bawling my eyes out while watching the movie. I will surely miss the series. Harry Potter has become a part of my life and it ending will be like losing a friend.
