A Big Saving
I was watching in our cable when I saw Zenni Optical on TV!!! Well I can just imagine that they will make it somehow on television ads since they are making waves in the States for their $ 8 Rx eyeglasses which is the most affordable in the market.
Having this kind of offer is a big saving especially for students who doesn't have a job and yet they can enjoy the benefits of having a good quality eyeglass in an affordable price. After all, normally a pair of eyeglasses here in Manila starts at $42. Imagine the saving of $38 if in case Zenni Optical eyeglasses become available here. That will go a long way and you can use the extra money for other expenses.
A big High Five to Zenni Optical!

My Ventosa Experience
For Thet who is waiting for my feedback, here it is ;)
Yesterday I was waiting for 6pm on our clock. I've schedule a home ventosa/massage service for myself since my aching back needs it badly.
Shirley whom I spoke to on the phone when I set an appointment happens to be the masseuse who will do the service! She was 5 minutes late but it's no biggie for me. After all, yesterday's weather was like hell and surprisingly she managed to locate our apartment without any problems.
We immediately start the massage. First she asked for a towel and then asked me to strip off my top. The she asked me to lie down where my back is exposed. She started off massaging my whole back and then I can feel that she's trying to "melt" the cold spots on my shoulder which really hurt. She told me that my cold spots became frozen muscles which are stubbornly stuck on my bones at the back. It's been too long that I have a massage and I will expect that's the case.
After the massage (which is good minus the cold spots pain), she pour a lot of oil on my back. I'm not sure if its the same oil or she put different ones. As long as I can remember, my whole back is slick wet. Then she started putting some patches (not sure if it's really patches or cotton) in different areas in my back. Then she put tea candles and then the glasses.
I can feel the first glass sucking my flesh then followed by another one until I couldn't remember how many they were in my back. It's a little painful but tolerable and this is what Shirley told me. Some of her clients preferred using the stone for relieving cold spot since it's painless compared to ventosa. The pain depends on the amount of cold spots stuck in your body.
Shirley asked my hubby to come over and looked the red marks on my back. She explained that the color depends on the cold spots and toxins in the body. While Shirley arranges the glass on my back, she is thoughtful to ask me how I feel. I told her that there are some areas that are painful but manageable. It took 15 minutes for the ventosa treatment to finish and I feel sore all over. There are instances when I feel that Shirley is trying to move the glass on a different spot on my back but she's having a hard time getting the glass to come off. Most of the glasses on the upper part are almost stuck on my skin, proof that I've been nursing a lot of cold spots and frozen muscles for who knows how long.
After the ventosa, she started massaging my legs then my sole. I can feel that there are a few cold spots on my legs but its not painful compared to my back. Next are my arms and my palms. Lastly is the head which feels so good. The oil she used has a nice scent but I can't tell what kind of scent is that (I'm not familiar with the aroma/scents that were used in the spa).
Overall the experience for me is new. With a little pain here and there but it's okay. The good thing is that all my cold spots and frozen muscles are gone!
The service for the ventosa treatment with body massage is Php 400 but since she did a good job and it was raining so hard yesterday, I gave Shirley Php 500.
Next time I will opt for the stones instead...ahahaha! After all the difference is only Php 50 Ü

Getting into Shape
After posting and sharing some of my Boracay pictures to my friend, she asked me how I managed to have a body like that. Well I told her that working out and lessening my food intake during dinner time is the key. But that kind of technique may not be feasible for others.
Then there's Shapely Secrets which you can try and considered to be a "motionless" exercise workout. It's a 7-minute a day program implementing Greer Childers' revolutionary techniques that firm and shape your body fast. These will probably the answer for all those who are tired working out for an hour or getting lazy to exercise even at homes.
I wonder how the 7-minute program works in keeping you in shape and thin. It's really a secret indeed.

Home Massage
I was searching for a good home massage service a few minutes ago and found the Blue Mountain Home Spa located in San Juan Metro Manila.
I called their number and asked if they offer a Ventosa treatment and thankfully they do! I needed it so badly due to my cold spots on the back. Shirley is the lady I spoke to when I called their number and she told me that if we are near San Juan, the charge will be Php 350 but since we are in Makati they will charge us Php 400 instead.
That's fine with me since I will get to stay at home. I've scheduled the home service on Thursday. Will let you know the feedback on Friday. I just hope that they are good because I really need to ease my aching muscles.
