More flights to Manila to boost Chinese arrivals

The country is expecting more Chinese tourists, with additional flights opening between mainland China and Taiwan to Cebu and Kalibo. The Department of Tourism (DOT) said that the new flights are in anticipation of the tourist influx in the said destinations, which will last until this year’s latter part to the early months of next year.

“Direct flights to their chosen destinations are a growing demand from the Chinese market which continues to be a stable source despite the crisis,” Tourism Secretary Ace Durano stressed.

Time for another blogging break: Time to go to Ricky Reyes Salon!

This is just an interruption from the regular travel blog posts. Just recently, I met mother Ricky Reyes in a day of pampering at her Ricky Reyes Salon near Tiendesitas in Pasig City.

And just before the other bloggers arrived, I already my manicure and my nails polished. squeaky clean!

Then one by one, the other bloggers arrived, each has his/her baon of chismis for the day. Just before lunch time, I had my hair colored to brown. Woot! I love it! really.

And just before we got to start the next round of hair coloring spree, Mother Ricky hinted that we’d better get our lunch first. As she’d jokingly say “Maganda ka nga, mamamatay ka naman sa gutom” Di ba?!

So off we went to the dining table and the kare kare is just so brilliant! Sarap!

After the hearty lunch, my now-brown colored hair has to get a second layer of color. This time a lighter tinge highlight.

The end result is just fantastic. I love my new hair color! But the day of pampering didn’t end there.

I ended my day with a facial spa. Wow when was the last time I had a facial treat. That was many many moons ago. Tears were flowing from my eyes as dirt were carefully removed from my face. Yup, its a bit painful but it’s worth it.

I feel and look better now! ahaha Many many thanks to mother Ricky for the treatments! Know more about the many services offered at the Ricky Reyes Salons,

BYAHILO at the Malacañang Palace Museum!

This is not the first time that I have been inside the Malacañang Palace. But this is probably one of the best and most memorable trips I have to the Palace.
