It’s been a year since the launch of Korea’s premiere aesthetic center here in the Philippines – Oracle Aesthetic Clinic. In line with that their state of the art technology enhancing beauty and also less painful making it already accessible to the Filipino Market. Cheers to 1 year Oracle Aesthetic Clinic!
From my previous post from last year, I’ve tried the Korean Facial and I swear, usually when you have facials you feel swollen after right? After that service my face was bright, glowing and radiant, its like I haven’t undergone any extractions.
When it comes to the price range, you have to consult first and visit their clinic at 2/F Republic Glass Building 196 Salcedo St. Corner Soria St. Legaspi, Makati Village because prices vary according to the condition and kind of services needed for your skin. Get also your skin assessed too, with their SENSOR machine- it can trace your skin’s moisture, elasticity, skin tone & temperature.
The staff, technicians and nurse esthetician are so friendly and highly trained – they get the work done and everything is STERILE – means clean!
This time I’ve tried the 3-LIPOMAX, it is for fat & cellulite reduction) what it does with the use of MAXIMUS powered by TRI-LIPO, it triggers the muscles to contract making it to burn more calories, even when your sitting down and doing activities in the same time you are burning. It is advised that this treatment be done weekly, along with diet and regular exercise.
Starts off by applying a gel at the target area so the machine can roll through it. The feeling? Its prickly-like but tolerable you could really feel the heat but its NOT PAINFUL. I wanted to target my tummy and arms, It takes around 20 minutes for the entire front tummy & 15 minutes per arm. Getting the treatment maximum of 2 target areas or depending as advised by the doctor. Can’t wait to blog my journey about this and other treatments I’ll be getting.
There is an ONGOING PROMO for this month UNLIMITED 3-LIPOMAX!!
3-months unlimited body contouring P25, 000
6 months unlimited PLUS 2 sessions NIR Face skin tightening P50, 000
9 months unlimited plus 4 sessions NIR face skin tightening P75, 000
12 months unlimited plus 6 sessions NIR face skin tightening P120, 000
Whipped Sugar Waxing Salon doesn’t only offer “sugar waxing services” but also “scrubbing” services – known as their “CARAMEL SCRUBBIN ” (Combination of Scrubbing & Waxing)
Whipped’s Caramel Scrubbin starts off by cleansing the area and application of their all natural caramel scrub not only it has smoothening properties, it also has Vitamin C which lightens the dark spots and all-out skin. Then after, they start with the “waxing” with their all natural sugar wax.
This is a must treatment I get for my underams every month, I’ve done more than 3 sessions already and results shown it has lightened somehow. I’ll be posting an “after picture” once I’ve gotten the desired result. (Seen from my previous post – you’ll see the process of caramel scrubbin’ ). Sugar waxing and Caramel scrubbin’ paired together makes my skin looking youthful, radiant and soft. I’ve been receiving complements from friends saying – “GIRL! Effective”. Now my next target are my legs since I have gained lot of scars growing up wished I took care of my legs sooner. Well its never too late.
Caramel Scrubbin’ Services:(Rates differ according to FEMALE & MALE)
My recent trip has got me thinking and yeah maybe to write something while I’m off for 4 days- something to keep me busy. Going back, my recent trip to La Union, I’ve received lots of question where to eat and places to go- expected since I am a blogger.
Well I’ve visited La Union twice already (the first was on May, early this year and this month of November), still same old sizzling La Union atleast this time I know what things to bring.
Surf spots?: For as long there is a beach, there is a guaranteed surf school nearby, may cost you around P350-P400 (1 hour surfing and lessons with the instructor). The best place to surf? It depends usually on the waves and the time.
Note: When you hit the beach especially the SAND, Literally SAND-BURN (That’s why this time I brought shoes, just make sure you don’t step/soak in a puddle of wet sand) and Don’t forget SUNBLOCK too! and a helpful tip I learned from my best pal Aimee, applying aloe vera gel after exposing yourself under the heat of the sun, it not just soothes the skin but it lessens the inflammation.
La la la to the Beach bum life ⛱ Stay #sunproofed with @belosunexpert (So cool! #belosunexpert is also available at @flotsamandjetsamhostel ☀️) 📷: @leiyeaah
TAGPUAN & MAD MONKEY
Manila North Rd., Urbiztondo Beach, San Juan, La Union
Just across Sea bay resort, if you guys are on a budget and for yummy rice bowl meals, this is the place to eat. A meal wouldn’t go beyond P100 and masarap din!
You’ll love its hipster outdoor motif- so chill and right beside is Mad Monkey who serve affordable burgers and fries.
02. EL UNION COFEE
Kilometre 274 MacArthur Highway, Urbiztondo, San Juan, La Union
Waling distance and in between TAGPUAN and FLOTSAM & JETSAM, the place opens as early as 7AM on weekends till 10 PM then on weekdays 9AM-9PM. Since we came on a weekend, this was the first place we had to have breakfast after our 6-hour drive from Manila.
I definitely recommend their coffee selection (Try the DIRTY HORCHATA) and the desserts like the Cookie Skillet P240 and the Indoor S’mores, P160 (small- good for 2 persons), P300 (large for 3-4 persons).
For a light breakfast go for the fluffy pancakes (3 pieces) and Grilled cheese both P160. They only considered main course in the menu. The place is definitely the best place to get coffee and chill – Hope the place would accommodate more. The place really has that cool hipster vibe plus they have YOGA CLASSES too.
03. FLOTSAM & JETSAM
Flotsam and Jetsam Hostel, 2514 San Juan, La Union
The place looks cool and the food is great too! You can definitely chill by the beach side and lay down on the carpets and bean bags while playing board games also chilling with your best pals.
Tip: Come as early like 7-8 PM, by 10 PM the place is fully booked and hard to find a place to chill.
Cheers on their great selection of drinks- SEX ON THE BEACH, MOJITO & PINA COLADA. Then their signature pizzas, TRUFFLE FRIES and ONION RINGS which is good for sharing. For health junkees out there try out the MAKAI BOWLS. TIP: If you guys are checking in (hostel) they may give you discount coupons for the Makai bowls. Best seller: Passion fruit and the Chocolate one.
TIP: As early as possible, book right away – slots are selling like pancakes especially on the weekends. Apparently my friend was able to book us the regular – its a kubo with bunk beds and cabinets with locks. House rules: No food allowed and wash hands before going inside. Each bunk bed has an electric fan and outlet, most likely with the regular you “MAY GET THE CHANCE” to share with others (like a dorm). The bathrooms, so clean!
Transportation tip: If you plan to get the bus back to San Fernando since the bus station is there, a tricycle ride would cost about P100 for 1 person. There is a line of tricycle in front of Flotsam & Jetsam and Tagpuan. Another tip, if you plan to leave at a certain time be there an hour before and the last bus is at 8PM.
04. KAHUNA
Just beside SEABAY Resort and across TAGPUAN, If you opt a place to eat with the most breathtaking view of La Union, visit KAHUNA.
Food are hefty big servings, more of western food that’s why.
05. BONITOS & ALOHA
(Walking distance from TAGPUAN, other side of the road)
Another chill & hipster place to check out, we didn’t had the time to dine in but we’ve seen their menu, another place that is affordable to dine & chill. Bonitos is has this Mexican vibe and Aloha, the name speaks for itself, I think we were suppose to get ice cream here but we didn’t have the time anymore.
There are a lot of place to eat actually in San Juan, if you have any tips feel free to comment so the next time I visit, surely gonna check it out 🙂

I personally use these products- and I guarantee to you the results from my personal experience. I’ll be sharing to you the pros and cons of using all organic products.
Organic Shampoo : Lush Sea Salt Shampoo
Pros: No chemicals, Makes hair look healthy and vibrant, and after a few hours the hair doesn’t oil or get greasy (which I personally love)
Cons: It doesn’t give you that smooth and silky feeling like commercial shampoos do. Not student budget friendly.
Organic Conditioner: Lush Veganese Conditioner
Pros: No chemicals, Makes hair look healthy and vibrant, and after a few hours the hair doesn’t oil or get greasy (which I personally love)
Cons: It doesn’t give you that smooth and silky feeling like commercial conditioners do. Not student budget friendly.
Organic Soaps: BODY RECIPE by HBC (Follow @myhbcph)
Pros: Affordable got the body recipe soaps worth P90, No chemicals, My “backne” seems to disappear or lessen, smooth on the skin and smells good (long-lasting). Helps relieve dryness and restore silky softness to skin. Washes away dirt and refreshes skin. Improve skin tone and healthier appearance.
Cons: Melts easily, the duration would take atleast 2 weeks.
Nutrawell is the latest innovation and only available at GENERIKA PHARMACY – the most affordable collagen drink in the market for P99 each and buying the entire pack of 17 (7g) sachet cost around P 1400.
What makes this powder drink different? Lets start with the basic, collagen is abundant in babies that’s why the have soft and smooth skin. For nutrawell it is composed of 5000 mg collagen and it is ORGANIC. This is the first collagen drink with ASTAXANTHIN & HYALURONIC ACID. ASTAXANTHIN – slows down the aging process and HYALURONIC ACID serves as a moisturizer (hydrates the skin). In about 14 days, you will see visible results. Collagen is advisable to drink for those in those starting 26 years old since I am 23 years old and I want to maintain my skin inside and out I would recommend this product except for those who are pregnant ,breast-feeding and on medical treatment. This advisable to be taken once a day at night – it may cause you to be a bit sleepy and so our body can absorb it. And my personal hack since I’ve tried other collagen drinks its better if you could melt with warm water if you plan on drinking it with cold drinks. I prefer mixing it with another drink instead of diluted form in water. NUTRAWELL is made of fish collagen (like the salmon, the reason why they are pinkish because of PHEOMELANIN), serves also a sunblock – still use topical sunblock for additional protection (It has also GLUTATHIONE btw).
Simple Tips for Age Management
Taking care of your health and beauty go hand-in-hand. In fact, the foundation of nurturing and maintaining your youthful vibrancy relies on adopting daily health habits. To help you get started on living a better life while ageing with grace, here are simple health and beauty tips that will keep you radiant.
#1 Eat Healthy Food
Enjoying plenty of fruits and vegetables everyday goes a long way in maintaining your youthful glow. Coupled with whole grains and lean proteins, a diet rich in these natural goodies can help the skin maintain its healthy complexion. Including organic sources of omega-3 fatty acids in your diet also contributes to keeping the skin strong and elastic. On the other hand, eating food rich in anti-oxidants bolsters the body’s ability to combat the effects of sun damage and pollution on the skin. As an added bonus, anti-oxidants also fight free radicals that lead to wrinkles and other signs of aging.
#2 Maintain an Exercise Routine
While the benefit of exercise on keeping your desired weight has long been known, it also has a direct effect on keeping skin beautiful. Exercise increases blood flow, ensuring enough nutrients and oxygen reaches your skin. The blood flow also helps skin cells flush away toxins and waste products, helping the body in its natural detoxification process through the liver. Regular exercise also tones your muscles, helping boost your overall look. Just remember to avoid excess tension when you exercise, especially on your neck and chest area. Prolonged tension will pull-down your facial muscles, making you look less youthful.
#3 Keep Everything Clean
It is absolutely important to keep yourself clean. Regular cleansing washes away dead skin cells and any toxic build-up on the skin that could lead to blemishes and poor complexion. But you must remember to be gentle! Use mild soaps and cleansers with warm water, this way you don’t strip away essential oils from your skin. After cleansing, remember to use a moisturizer to keep your skin supple. Most importantly, your bed has to be clean too. If you don’t change your sheets often, any dirt or bacteria on your bed can cause unexpected breakouts.
#4 Manage Your Stress
Stress causes wrinkles, fine lines, acne breakouts and other skin blemishes. In some cases, stress even leads to eye bags, dry skin, grey hair, and hair loss – especially when it is uncontrolled and left unchecked. While the most immediate way to be rid of stress would be through regular massages, there are more practical methods to alleviate stress that can be done in your own time without any additional cost. Daily stretching and meditation sessions do a great deal in reducing stress levels. Spend at least 20 minutes a day calming yourself while breathing deeply to keep stress at bay. It will help you look more refreshed and beautiful.
#5 Avoid What Damages Your Skin
Other than processed food, refined sugars, alcohol, and cigarette smoke – the sun is among the leading sources of skin damage. Even when you’re indoors, the sun’s harmful UV rays can still take a toll. That is why it is incredibly important to always use sunscreen. At the bare minimum, use sunscreen with SPF 15 – and they must be reapplied every two hours. When it’s especially sunny outside, it’s best to use protective clothing that can block ultraviolet rays. Another important tip is to always drink water, to offset any moisture and hydration lost from heat exposure. Constant hydration also helps the body cleanse itself while keeping the skin supple.
A great way to support your daily routine would be to boost it with all-natural food supplements, giving your body all the nutrients it needs to strengthen itself and maintain its youthful vibrancy. While the choice of food supplement is best decided between you and your Physician, there’s one readily available, over-the-counter product tailor made to manage the ageing process. Generika Drugstore’s Nutrawell Collagen with Astaxanthin and Hyaluronic Acid helps the body repair and protect the skin, keeping you beautiful as you age. Certified as organic under the Japanese Agricultural Standard (JAS), it contains key components that nurture the skin from within.
Nutrawell Collagen is a powder mix that can either be taken on its own or mixed in your favourite drink or food. It has 5000mg of marine Collagen that rejuvenates skin firmness and radiance. Its 60mg of Hyaluronic Acid helps prevent osteoarthritis, cataracts, infections, and skin dryness. The 70ug of Astaxanthin helps protect the skin from UV damage. It is a powerful carotenoid anti-oxidant that helps promote eye health while also aids in preventing cancer. Research also suggest that Astaxanthin is a potential aid in cardiovascular health by possibly lowering down triglycerides, raising good cholesterol and improving blood flow.
Nutrawell Collagen also contains Elastin which helps the skin remain elastic, Biotin which boosts skin, nails and hair health plus it also helps to ease eczema and dermatitis and L-Cystein which can lighten one’s complexion. Of the powder mix’s components, Vitamin C is among the most critical as it is an anti-oxidant that helps the body strengthen its tissues, keeps the heart healthy, and boosts the body’s ability to produce and repair collagen.
Healthy habits paired with the right food supplements can help you keep fit and age with grace. Through these healthy tips and Generika Drugstore’s latest age-management innovation, you can enjoy more out of life while retaining your youthful vigor.

GOLDEN PASSSILVER PASS
My plan with my recent trip to KL, was unexpected some friends just asked if I want to tag along, and days after I was able to book a plane ride via MALAYSIA AIRLINES courtesy of my dad who works for an airline (company benefits). I came like 2 days after my friends arrived at KL. For the past several years, KL has been my layover when there wasn’t a straight flight going to Oman from Manila that’s why KLIA has been a familiar place for me. BTW, Malaysia gives 30 days free visa for tourist. Recent travel articles I read, Malaysia has beaten the other Asian countries as the most visited this year and I agree. Everything in Malaysia is so hassle free and accessible especially for a tourist like me- all I did was commute and I enjoyed it. I traveled solo on the first and third day, on the second day I traveled alone before meeting up with my friends.
DAY 1: STILL FIGURING THINGS OUT
The first you do when you land at Malaysia, is ask for a MAP, It will be your bestfriend & guide to go around – You can ask at any counter or go to the Malaysia Tourism office, You can get different maps and guides for free. You can be updated with any upcoming events and promos (vouchers for discounts).
KTM COMMUTER (ktmb.com.my) 5:40 AM- 10:30 PM – Going to Batu Caves
KELANA JAYA (PUTRA) LINE (rapidkl.com.my) 6 AM- 11:30 PM – Going KLCC/WANGSU MAJU
AMPANG LINE (rapidkl.com.my) 6 AM- 11:15 PM
KL MONORAIL (monorail.com.my) 6 AM – 11:30 PM – Going to Bukit Bintang
KLIA EXPRESS (kliaekspres.com) 5AM – MIDNIGHT – Going to airport
TIP: If you plan to exchange money from dollars to ringgit, better at the airport. Higher rate/ exchange if you have dollars.
HOTEL GEO
I’m glad my uncles booked me a hotel at JALAN HANG KASTURI, “HOTEL GEO” via www.booking.com- It is so convenient because it is in front of central market, beside Little India and China Town (Petaling). Also, just at the back of the hotel the TRAIN STATIONS and a nearby BUS STATION. – Highly recommended when it comes to the accessibility and the front desk people are so helpful and they give you good advice on how to get to places plus near by money exchange in case and a 24 hour Texas food chain down stairs.
TIP: Bring a universal charger (Malaysia has the 3- socket outlet/ 220-240) but some of my friends were able to use their charger that they used here in the Philippines, better to be prepared 🙂
Upon my arrival at the airport, I took the airport taxi from KLIA to my hotel which cost around 150 ringgit. If I just understood how to take the KLIA Express to my hotel I would have done it. The thing is you need to know the places that are accessible with each station.
TIP: If you plan to ride taxis make sure they have a metro. If you plan to save take the RED OR YELLOW Taxi. The BLUE ones have a higher rate.
At the train station, you get your blue chip or pass via a machine. It’s very easy to manipulate you just need to be aware and ask around what kind of train are you riding. The first thing that pops out is the 4 different category of trains and then once you chose your destination comes the specific amount. The place where you get your chip is where your change will be dispense.
Black – PASAR SENI Brown – KLCC
So from HOTEL GEO, literally at the back is the PASAR SENI STATION ( KELANA JAYA (PUTRA) LINE ), I was planning to go and see the Petronas Towers so my destination should be at KLCC, it’s like 3 stations away from PASAR SENI and it takes about like 5-10 minutes. Going back to the 4 different train categories, its the 2nd box from the left- color red and I remembered transit number 5. Just ask people around nicely and they are very accommodating and helpful incase you ain’t sure. From PASAR SENI to KLCC cost like 2.10 RM
Petronas Towers
From KLCC station, you will be arriving at the underground of AVENUE K MALL. Across Avenue K Mall is the Petronas towers and there is a mall beside it KLCC SURIA. Another thing for me to love about KLCC Avenue K MALL, since I have an International pass from fitness first (P200), I can go to the gym anytime and it is near my hotel. Fitness First Avenue K is located at the 4th or 5th floor opens from 6:40 AM – till 11 PM on weekdays and till 9 PM on weekends.
DAY 2: PANDA LOVE and CITY
Green- PASAR SENI Orange- DANG WAGI Red – WANGSA MAJU Yellow- BUKIT BINTANG
When my friend send me photos of panda statues at Genting, I wonder if there are pandas here in Malaysia. There was at ZOO NEGARA. I met up with my friends at ZOO Negara apparently its was close to their hotel. From PASAR SENI to WANGSA MAJU Station cost around 3.40 RM. As I arrived at the station, I took the metred taxi (color red) to Zoo Negara which cost around 7 RM. Entrance fee at Zoo Negara for Asians/Aseans cost 65 RM inclusive of the Panda Conservation visit – you could check Zoo Negara’s official website for the price rates. A map at Zoo Negara cost 1 RM but it will go to a good cause.
From WANSA MAJU, we decided to go to Bukit Bintang because my friends would like exchange money. They say “mataas ang palit” – or higher rate. We stopped at DANG WAGI (still on the KJ Line) because it is the nearest transfer (Interchange station) heading to Bukit Bintang. as we arrived at DANG WAGI we have to walk to BUKIT NEMAS station (KL MONORAIL ), to take the KL MONORAIL to Bukit Bintang. Bukit Bintang is like the greenhills version of the Philippines. From Wangsa Maju to Bukit Bintang cost us around 6 RM
From Bukit Bintang, we plan to head to China Town (Petaling) not China Town, Jalan Alor. Btw, JALAN means STREET. Be careful when you visit Chinatown, word has it is not safe lately so always have a companion with you. If you plan to visit JALAN ALOR, Chinatown – stalls open from 6 PM to 2 AM, I think.
We took a free shuttle bus, that has free wifi to China town (Petaling), we rode the purple bus- you can ask directions how to get the nearest station to avail this free bus ride. All I can remember it is across TOUS LES JOURS, Bukit Bintang.
SRI Mahamariamman temple
I was unable to go to China Town, Jalan Alor HUHU, I really wanted to eat Sting ray, Oh well maybe next time. But were able to spot a nice Chinese restaurant along Petaling and tried their noodles.
TIP: Malaysian food are kinda spicy.
Central Market
From China Town Petaling, a few minutes walk to CENTRAL MARKET which is beside the so called LITTLE INDIA- You can see the famous SRI Mahamariamman temple. Central market is the go to place to shop for affordable souvies and gifts “pasalubongs”. It is like the SOUK of KL. Glad we were able to meet some Filipino vendors working at the CENTRAL MARKET. (Visit G/F ADAM JewelsN Handcraft). Things I got were hand made batik, chocolate oats and my fave malysian milk tea “Teh Tarik”.
DAY 3: LAST MINUTE THINGS TO DO
Pink – KUALA LUMPUR Black- BATU CAVES
Across PASAR SENI is the KTM COMMUTER, KUALA LUMPUR STATION (Blue line)- just have to take the overpass. 6 stations away from Kuala Lumpur is the Batu Caves station. The ticket cost around 2.50 RM, I think. It would take about 20 minutes. As you arrived at the BATU CAVES station, there is it.
TIP: When you get to BATU CAVES, know the time of the arrival of trains- just head over the ticketing booth.
After my morning jog at Batu Caves, decided to head back to PASAR SENI and go to KLCC to workout and last minute shopping at Avenue K Mall. Got back to my hotel an hour before my check-out which is 12 nn.Then I requested a taxi from the front desk going to the airport. If I only had a few load on my luggage I would have taken the train to transfer to KLIA (Purple line)
TIP: Its cheaper if you ask your hotel to fix your service going to the airport if you plan taking a cab. In the Philippines its fixed rate or “kontrata”.
Hope this guide would help you and you’ll definitely enjoy Malaysia 🙂
