my charcoal-grilled dinner on a saturday night.

it's a good thing that Mamma Maria's Pizzeria near Sychar Hotel now serves Gino's Burgers.

it's much accessible and comfortable as compared to the main branch which also closes really early.

Bare It All

in my eagerness to introduce B-waxing to one of my barkadas, i paid my waxing salon a visit again. i wanted her to experience something new and not so ordinary before she turns a year older in a few days. she was i should say, hesitant but eventually i managed to finally convince her.

having a brazilian wax for the first time is a bit scary. it's just normal to be apprehensive when you don't know what will happen during the whole procedure. truth is, waxing hurts. i had my fair share of the pain too but it was tolerable. and i have to thank my very high threshold to pain for that. 

when you decide to go bare down there, you really have to be physically and emotionally ready. the first session is usually the most painful one. but trust me, it's going to be fine the next time. that's if you decide to go back the next time. lol.

so what is BRAZILIAN WAXING?

Brazilian waxing is the removal of all hair in the pelvic area, front and back, while sometimes leaving a thin strip of hair on the pubis.[2](p139)[7][8][9][10] It can be used by those who wear thong bikinis.[11] It is a form of bikini waxing, and involves the complete removal of hair from the buttocks and adjacent to the anus, perineum and vulva (labia majora and mons pubis).[12][13] If a thin vertical strip of hair is left, it may be called a landing strip. Brazilian waxing is also known as a full Brazilian wax, full Bikini wax, Hollywood wax or the Sphinx.[2](p139)[8][9] The Sphinx variety involves the complete removal of all hair in the pelvic region. The name is derived from that of a naked breed of cat from Canada. The smooth-skinned, hairless Sphynx cat was a genetic oddity discovered in Toronto in 1966. Some salons refer to the Sphynx as the Hollywood.

here are some of the the things "waxing virgins" should remember before going bare down there.

• prepare yourself. as i have said, waxing hurts.and you have to get yourself ready for that. there's always a first time.
• let your hair grow. hair should be at least 1/4 of an inch to give ease to waxing.
• no period please. for obvious reasons, one should not go for a wax when the red flag is up. experts say that one should avoid doing it three days prior to and following your period because it is when your hormone level changes which make you more sensitive to pain.
• kill the pain. you can take ibuprofen, paracetamol or mefanamic acid at least 30 minutes prior to your appointment to lessen the pain.
• keep clean. wash up before the procedure to avoid infection. it is also advised to lightly exfoliate days before so as to keep the skin healthy and ingrown hair.
• choose a trusted waxing salon. do some research if you don't have some friends to back you up. better be sure than sorry.

there have been arguments on whether having a brazilian wax is safe or not. fact is, pubic hair is there basically for protection and getting a wax literally strips away that layer. waxing creates inflammation which can possibly cause infection. that's why you have to be extra careful in choosing the facility and be extra vigilant on keeping an eye on hygiene. again, do some research. go for the trusted ones.

i want my friends and everybody else to try it. it's a different experience but i should say it's worth a try. it's not that complicated and scary. (well, at least it's not to me.lol) besides, i believe that it's all in the mind. some people will like it, some people will not. that's just how it goes. 

you only live once. 

so why not try something different..

something scary.. something adventurous?

if you think the experience is not for you, then don't do it again.

but at least try it once.. 

that way, you will take pride of doing something you didn't imagine yourself doing..

adventure begins outside your comfort zone. so go out and bare it all!

Paraw Sailing in Boracay

Why do i love BORACAY?

Paraw Sailing is a must try when you go to Boracay. 

It's best to do while watching the famous Boracay Sunset.

The wind.. the waves.. Such an amazing experience. 

Truly Thrilling and Exciting...

The word paraw also parao is related to proa and may be used to denote a boat. However, the term for boats (with or without outriggers) in the Philippine islands without sails or layag are typically called vanca or bangka.

The paraw has three major elements that make it a paraw and not another type of boat. These elements are the bangka, the katig and the layag. Motorized versions of bangkas (with outriggers) are commonly known as Pump Boat and are used for inter-island travel.

Paraws are known to sail between 11 to 17 knots (20~31 km/h) or approximate the speed of the wind. The outriggers (ama) or katig, made of wood or more commonly, bamboo, may be straight or curve upward much like skis and provide stability.
