Board Game Night
Last Sunday, I brought my new Shadows Over Camelot board game and got to play with with some Plurkers. Now I’m in love with the game and we decided to get together once a month to play board games. Jovan brought her Carcassonne game. It’s ok by me but I prefer Shadows Over Camelot.
Our dinner for that night. Tom’s sinful Crispy Pata.

Crispy Pata?! Pata means thigh in Filipinino. I guess Tom's deep fries the whole pig

Medical Tourism and Cosmetic Surgery
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.
Read MoreMy first zipline experience
I wasn’t afraid of the height, I was more worried if the contraption will support my weight. Well it did and I was able to zipline at ZipCity during the Davao Food Appreciation Tour (DFAT) early this year. It only cost me P250 for the adrenaline rush.

I’m inviting everyone to come to Brown Bag Vintage and Crafts Market on December 9, 2011 at the Filipinas Heritage Library. I will have a booth there to sell my Aromacology products and probably some vintage items. Entrance is completely free and there will be lots of activities for arts and crafts lovers!!! I wish I still have time to do tatting so I can sell them in the bazaar but besides it being time-consuming, the art gives me carpal tunnel.

Read MoreKnow more about the Philippine Volcanoes
I do not know much about rugby. It looks a lot like American football but more physical. When I see it on the telly while channel-surfing, I change the channel at once because I find the sport so violent. The infamous Philippine Volcanoes billboards which has now been removed (Thanks for nothing, Mayor Sherwin Gatchalian!) made me aware that we have our own team. Those guys are H-O-T! When I was invited to a Philippine Volcanoes event care of Globe, I just had to be there.
