Malaysia Truly Asia

I know I am mababaw (shallow) but I really like this ad! I love the song; its so calming. I enjoy catching this ad on TV. I like singing the song in my spare time, also, and I wish I could download the full version of this ad so I can watch it whenever I feel like woolgathering.

I am not entirely impressed by Malaysia as a tourist spot. Of course, this is a biased view, because I am a Filipino and I think that the Philippines is still a better looking country (and cheaper!). Maybe if I get to visit Malaysia someday, I will have a point of comparison. From the commercials, though, which showcase Malaysia's tourism wonders, I can name spots in the Philippines which can compete, if not surpass, Malaysian tourist spots. But I am very impressed at the way the Malaysian government promotes tourism in their country. Case in point: this ad. They really make an effort for potential tourists from other parts of the world visit Malaysia. Even I, who already live in a beautiful tropical country, feel encouraged at the thought of visiting Malaysia, because of this ad. 

Club Manila East

The oppressive heat has finally driven us out of the house - but only for a day - and into the water! We packed our bags and headed to Club Manila East, a heavily advertised resort somewhere near Metro Manila. We were only happy to get a room we wanted, that comes with a private wading pool, but we didn't anticipate the heavy Sunday crowd! We still had lots of fun, though. This tiny pool is what we were really after:

Anvaya Cove Weekend, Ocean Park Date, Lonesome Spa/Shopping Day

 Taken by C at the Ocean Park.

I'm sitting at home alone while Carlo is spending time with his friends. He left about 2pm today and will be home tomorrow. I tried occupying myself by going to the mall this afternoon, and ended up having a mani / pedi, a facial and foot spa, buying two pairs of shorts, a pair of shoes and a tee shirt. (News: spa girl said I have normal skin -yey!- unlike the last time I went when I was told to have dry skin. Had two cups of Hot Banana Buzz from Mondo Juice, I am addicted!) .When I went home I tried watching the movie my boss lent me (Any Given Sunday) but I can't keep up with the plot. So now I ended up blogging, and I'd like to write about some stuff which made me happy these past few weeks.
