random thoughts

I am yet to do another round of Pantene 3-minute miracle and home-made skin-glower thingy later this morning. What do I have in my fridge this time? haha!

P.S. I hope I'll be in the mood to get a photo of my hair after the wash and brush (with other steps in between) routine with 3-min miracle Pantene. Every line seems to be in rhyme (including this!?). lol!

Keni Po: Taga Itay's best stopver abode

You might ask, what or where or who is Taga Itay??!? Ok, just applying what I've learned during my last night's drive to Tagaytay. The name was dubbed to be coming from a boy who was frightened to see a foreigner in the area and shouted, "Taga itay!". Amusing. :)

We actually reserved a room in Anyway, Keni Po gave me temporary place of solitude in the cold city of Tagaytay. It is a place where you won't let your pocket drop a tear since it will only cost you Php 1200 a night. Yes, a cool 1200 bucks! An no, the very affordable price does not mean a sacrifice on the other side of the business - the service and the place itself. The price gives you a standard room with a queen sized, comfy foam, aircon (you won't need it anyway), a clean bathroom, a tv, a personal ref, a dresser, and even a hair dryer! The lights also give a homey feeling with your option to either wear it brighter, dimmer, or you may let it rest for the night. Now, how cool is that?

One downside though, Keni's beddings during that time give an odd smell of something that is not been completely dried up. Awwww, but maybe it was because of the silly weather. You can always ask them for another set. :)

The place is not that hard to find as it is on your way going to Picnic Grove. Upon seeing big letters that spells Econo Inn, turn to left then drive in slowly for you not to miss it.

Food? If you are in the mode of stretching the papers tucked in your wallet, they got a reasonably priced meals starting at 75 php! I have not tried it though as I opted to explore other spots for my stomach's needs. :)

Oh, this Php 1200 is a weekday rate, so add up 300 if you are lying your bad on their beds on a weekend. Not that much, right? :D

Definitely recommended for other Tagaytay lovers out there!

There is such Thing as 3-min Miracle!

I never thought that these hefty commercials that's been repeatedly rolling on the famous box with remote control can actually pull out true information and benefits.

I never believed in such until i got a free tube of Pantene 3-minute miracle when I bought the brand's conditioner. It was actually the decision maker for me, that tie-up with a label "free" and priced at Php 125. Good bargain for me and with actually no expectation from that 3-minute miracle thing.

There was no clear instructions whether to shampoo and condition first before using it, or shampoo alone then apply the product. I chose the latter. As I am not in the bottleneck of getting through my schedule that day, I let the conditioner-like liquid rest on my hair longer than the 3-minute instruction.

Never did I expect that my straightened hair would turn out to be that shiny, straight, and would not need an iron (as i usually do)! It was so different from the results of the conditioners or those hot oil/ hair spa products. My hair got the volume that I wanted, not too voluminous and not too flat. My proof? I harvested at least 5 positive remarks from people at the office. It indeed caught their attention with them saying like, "nagparebond ka?" and "kaya pala late kasi nagpablower pa!". Too bad I did not get a picture of myslef that day.

Ok, if you'd ask me, the effect did not last like a month or so. But it was decent enough to revive the glow of my hair. Priced at 100 php per small tube, I am very much willing to treat my hair from time to time. Not to mention the time it can save me undergoing my hair into the mercy of flat iron. :)

Recommending this product to all those picky girls like me!
