In a relationship with The BIG GUY

I should be writing this blog the next coming days but I just can't stop myself coming infront of my laptop. It's like there's a force pulling me near and a voice telling me, "Come on, write, share and bless others." So here I am, I found myself, writing something worth reading for, I'm sure.

In my last blog, I wrote about "the need of something worth remembering  first purchase for the new year", and you know what, I bought not just worth remembering but the best ever book existing in a man's world. I love reading books especially the inspirational ones or something that is with regards about our Creator.

 Last year, I bought Pastor Ru dela Torre's Roadtrip and Back on Track which changed  my perception about relationships. I didn't know about this two books until one of my friends in Twitter and also a classmate of mine in the med school started to read it, and then, he shared the words by posting the quotable quotes which really caught my attention. I went the next day to the bookstore but it was out of stock so I need to wait for a few weeks and finally got them in Manila. After I finished reading, my friends borrowed them and last Christmas, I gave it as a present to a friend of mine. I don't have a picture of the two books but I give the credits to the one who owns this which I got it from the internet.

Back on Track and Roadtrip

Another book that I have read last year was Joshua Harris's I Kissed Dating Goodbye. It's obviously about dating, how to wait patiently and the importance of singleness. It's suited to single ladies and bachelors out there.

I Kissed Dating Goodbye

This year, I am so keen in building a closer relationship with Him. I decided to buy something that will remind me that I am loved and favored in everything I do as long as it is based on the best ever written book by the most powerful author named God. I lost my youth bible two years ago and since then, I used the internet to read for the Words. It's convenient but there are times that connection isn't good so I have to buy a bible, where I can bring and read anywhere I go, with or without an internet connection. 

I was surprised when I was in the bookstore because I planned to get NIV, black in color, soft bound bible as a typical one looked like....But charannnn....Girly, fashionable, colorful ones came in my way! I was so excited and I had a hard time choosing what color should I get. From tangerines to purple, tell it, they have it! 

Isn't it nice?


I super love this!

I bought this purple/green shades combination because I really like it and it looks so chic! Actually, the cover isn't important, but it adds color for enjoyable reading to the Words.

While on the queue for payment, I also saw this one and got it for daily readings.



I am so excited to know more about Him. I guess this is worth buying for and I am so much sure I made the best purchase this year! Happy reading! :)

Get The Ball Rollin' 2013

I wanna greet each and everyone a Happy New Year! Yuhooo! A new year to face and enjoy the abundance of life! So it's a fact, 12/21/12 "end of the world" gossips aren't true! Can everybody shout,
W-E-L-C-O-M-E  2-0-1-3!!!

Well, first and foremost, I really don't know how to start my new year. I want something memorable or something worth remembering, so, it's kinda hard to decide what to do or what to buy as my firsts this year. Because I am a home buddy nowadays ( seriously! ), I cannot plan anything interesting aside from my wild imaginations. LOL! Oh yes!..you read it right, wild imaginations!I need environmental stimulations, I guess. But don't get me wrong I am talking about something far from what you are thinking right now. Peace ya'll!

A month ago,  promoters came to our university for some offers about a newly opened spa within the vicinity (I study in Vigan City). Me and my classmates signed up for a membership worth 400Php with a lot of freebies and coupons which I think was a good deal since we always go to spa for relaxations after stressful days at the uni. We girls deserve something like this, and it's far better than shopping! I sound like being defensive at this point... :)

I went to Bare and Bloom Spa after my class today to finally enjoy my privileges and reward myself for all my achievements last year. The place is located in Casa Maria,just  the corner of Gen Luna and Gen Reyes St. Honestly, I had a hard time looking for the place because of the enchanting one way streets of the city. Well, if you like walking, it's just a few yards nearby to the more famous Red Dot Boutique. 

Reception 

I wasn't able to avail my freebies because I didn't not book for an appointment. Yes, you need to book an appointment before going there because they got only 3 therapists, instead I had a foot spa. I waited for about 20 minutes for them to prepare their stuffs. The waiting area is just infront the reception.

Inside the Spa

I always have a hard time when I go for foot spa, I still have this tickling effect and it's so funny that I need to stop myself from being violent. I don't want to hurt the therapist though. It's like, if I'm going to die laughing, I should go to a spa and let it done. Hahaha! Well, overall, the service is quick but not as like as the other spas, they don't have the relaxing ambiance which I always love. To make it short, it's budget friendly.

Happy Feet

So, this is my first treat to myself this year, and I'll be posting on my next blog the first ever purchase I had. Always remember, relax and have fun! Have a break, have a spa date :)
