Gazini Ganados Portraits for Sale, Half of Proceeds to Go to Luwalhati ng Maynila Home for the Aged

Wazzup Pilipinas!

In celebration of Grandparents Day on September 8, the Araneta Center has organized several activities happening simultaneously at its leading establishments in Cubao, Quezon City. Please refer to our previous story fot details of the activities.

Aside from that, a recent portrait activity held with an elderly group would soon sell portraits of  Gazini Ganados, the 2019 Miss Universe Philippines, who willingly posed to the senior citizens on the afternoon of September 6, after which a mini press conference was held with members of the media.

In an interview with Gazini, she prefers that the elderly spend the remainder of their lives with their families, so we assumed that helping out those in retirement homes is her way of lessening their sorrowful situation having to grow old without their loved ones.

An interview with one of the elderly artists who was already 77 year old revealed that he only paints as a hobby since these last years of his life is meant to take it easy.

No more big responsibilities unlike when he was still working, but he would still paint during his free time.

Painting Gazini was easy for him since she was admittedly beautiful, but he also shared that what some would consider ugly could also be an interesting subject for some artists like him.

Our grandparents have been significant in our lives as they were responsible in bringing up our parents, and also guided us as we went through our own lives. Cherish the moments with them while we still can.

It is so sad that old age would cause us pain of losing our loved ones, but life was meant to be temporary yet the legacy we leave should make us memorable to the ones we leave behind.

As I also approach my golden year, I hope I touched lives with some goodness, and them to pay it forward too to other folks.

Gazini will be having a send-off activity sometime October before her international competition.

The expo gathered together diverse brands exhibiting products and services from both local and international sources like diving gear brands, dive agencies, and diving resorts. Plus a few organizations protecting the environment and creatures specific to be found at the many bodies of waters.

The DRT Show is also an opportunity to listen to professional speakers at seminars or talks scheduled at certain times within the 3-day event. Plus a look at the photo exhibit, or at the candidates of Miss Scuba Philippines.

Whether you are an experienced diver or not, the DRT Show allows you to see the possibilities of both being in the action itself ir just a spectator but advocating water sports or conservation.

See you there this year, and on the coming years.

An Afternoon of Pampering at Al Amirah Moroccan Bath & Spa

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Spas have continued to be among the Health and Wellness options that is being actively promoted as an attraction to boost  our campaign on Philippine tourism.

Well, why not? The country has a lot of them all over the busy cities and municipalities, and are naturally needed by most of us, if not all, to revitalize our otherwise lavishly unhealthy lifestyle of eat-all-you-cans, unlirice, buffets, milk teas, junk and instant food, and our dependence on escalators, elevators, taxis, Grab rides, home deliveries, online shopping, etc.

We simply are getting fat and lazy with all these convenience that our bodies, and minds, have lost the motivation to exert some muscles and keep our brain cells alive and functioning respectively.

Thus my wife and I are grateful we were given an opportunity to enjoy an afternoon of pampering with a Moroccan Bath plus a full body massage at Al Amirah Moroccan Bath & Spa just located near Timog Avenue in Quezon City!

Our Moroccan Bath consisted of three procedures. First of which was  with therapists bathing us with water and Savon Noir (black soap with Olive oil and berries), then steamed for 15 minutes inside a steam room. After that was the full body scrub bit only usimg the same black soap and not the coffee, salt or other alternatives normally done in the usual body scrubs.

The experience was refreshing though slightly amusing since you are wearing nothing but shorts while the therapist work on your entire body. My wife was just wearing a very skimpy and see-through panty, and yes no bra, so I could see her breasts fully exposed. Yup, we were bathed together inside the steam room, but separated during the last procedure of the Moroccan Bath.

Obviously I won't be able to post photos here since we were both almost naked. Those images of our bulging bodies may ruin your day. Hehehe...Yet, eventhough I want to, I can't bring cameras or smartphones inside the steam or body scrub rooms since steam and water would just ruin my gadgets, and not clear photos too.

After the Moroccan Bath, we also got to try their soothing Swedish full body massage which is anothet 1-hour of relaxing procedure. You choose among soft, medium or hard madsage and the therapist will customize her efforts based on your requests.

This is not my first time to get a madsage so I could compare already, but the Moroccan Bath was also similar to another experience at a bigger spa. However, the modest Al Amirah already satisfied our needs to be pampered.

We saw ourselves a bit drowsy at the end since you will be tempted to sleep afterwards. The refreshing feeling makes you want to doze off to sleep the rest of the afternoon. You can see on my video interview with their staff that I was a bit sluggish since that was just minutes after the entire pampering process.

But I had to wake up because I'll be driving back home. Thanks to the house tea they offered at the end of the sessions that sort of brought us back to reality.
