Marry Me at Marriot Hotel A Grand Wedding Fair

This is long way over due but I am posting it anyway along with the many great experiences I and my family had.

Getting married is one of the best things in life. It is simply a magical affair. An affair which everyone's gets so excited. The twinkling eyes of the bride and the widening grin smile of the groom. The teary eyed mother and the proud father. The cheerful smile and laughter of the kids. These are the usual scenes during the wedding day.

The bride seems to be the most beautiful girl in her wedding dress.

The Hotel

This was my second time to enter to this grand hotel. If someone would give me a chance to choose which hotel to stay for just one day I would definitely recommend Marriott Hotel. Customer service is superb. They treat their customer so well that I myself would be ashamed and will not be demanding too much from them (hehe).

So if you are planning to spend a very special occasion or visiting Manila/Philippines go to Marriott Hotel!

The Event:

Of course I my friend/manager/colleague Kessa invited me to join the said wedding fair event. As I love attending such gathering I agreed.

I had fun with the talks. The tips are really so interesting, its learning with a fun. The booths are fantastically amazing and inviting. The people on the booth are so friendly and wanted to talk to every guest to identify their needs during their wedding.

The following day, I went with my cousin Heather, my mom and my sister Elaine. I wanted them to experience what I am experiencing.

When we went their the fashion show is about to start so we decided to watch it.

The wine was serve. I so love those red wine.

Cosplay: Into the new Fashion World

Cosplaying is really in for today’s generation. A growing number of cosplayers are really putting too much of their effort, time and money into their outfit/costume.

What is cosplaying?

According to Wikipedia, Cosplay came from the root word Costume Play. It is a type of performance where people/performer dress up on their desired costume. The performers are called Cosplayers and they interact with each other creating a subculture centered on a play.

In the Philippines, Malls and parks are the usual avenue for cosplayers to meet and greet. Fashion shows are organized to showcase the best costumes and designers. According to my colleague cosplayers favorite sources of their costumes came from Manga and anime, comic books, video games and films. It is basically any entity from the real or virtual world that could inspire them to come up with a dramatic interpretation can be taken as a subject of their cosplay costumes.

Many became really famous by cosplaying not only in Philippine Arena but rather all across Asia. One of them is Alodia Goshien…..

Myrtle Sarrosa also is a cosplayer who recently won the Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition.

Both represent a subset of cosplay culture centered around sex appeal. According to wekipedia, this subset of cosplayers specifically chooses their characters that are known for their attractiveness and/or revealing (even explicit) costumes.

There are also other types or kinds of cosplayers, “the dollers”, wherein they represent a different type of niche. According to Wikipedia these type of group is called kigurumi in Japan which means “mascot”- style role players. They are basically covered from head to foot or they hide their real image to the public by wearing a head dress or head gears. They could be robots, space alien, or even animal. A doller could be a female representing a male character or vice versa.

Street foods in the Philippines

Every time a foreigner ask me about a famous street foods in the Philippines the first one that pop up in my mind is Balut. Balut is one of our exotic food in the Philippines. It is an egg that wasn't fully developed into a check. Normally, Balut is an egg of a duck (itik).

Another famous Filipino food is this delicious BIBINGKA a kind of rice cake that captivates every Filipino's taste buds. This famous rice cake is really popular during December (Simbang Gabi)

Another street food is really famous to every Filipino most specially people from Manila. You can find this food almost everywhere. You can find it in every MRT and LRT stations. Personally I like this food when I am drinking liquor.

My Hilot Experience

I have been complaining about back ache and also shoulder and shoulder blades that are so painful. It sounded like my muscle are screaming at me telling me that they need some relaxation. I felt exhausted and tired. Sometimes this pain is also the reason why I cant sleep.

So a friend of mine (Glenda) told me that she could do a traditional way of relaxation and or massage. So then I agreed and gave her a synthetic coconut oil. She said it would be best if we could just use either a natural coconut oil or an oil that is Herbal.

Since we are in the city it is kinda hard to find some of this herbal oils. She then suggested to use an alternative oil which is the efficascent oil. She then started massaging me. She focuses on the nodules at my back for almost an hour. After her hilot I felt far better however she said she would like to do it again on Wednesday before she will fly to Dubai.

Her action to adhere to someone else's needs. To be compassionate and kindhearted and totally accommodating is another example of Filipino Culture I am truly proud of. 

What is the difference between HILOT and MASSAGE?

Both would mean the same thing to massage or to make the person relaxed. However, a Hilot is coined in managing and treating musculoskeletal pain, joint pains, sometimes dislocated joints or joint dysfunction while massage is merely for relaxation. While both has the capacity to remove nodules.

Also a manghihilot don,t receive any monetary form of payment. They believed that when they accept a monetary form of payment the illness wont be healed. What people normally do is they would either leave the oil that they brought with them or they would bring sugar, coffee or snack. While Massage Therapist accept payment as they are doing this for a living.

Another difference is when you go to a massage therapist they normally massage you from head to foot while hilot would only focus on a certain part where it is painful or where there is joint dysfunction.
