I found love in a hopeless place.

I just can't stop dancing with Rihanna's We Found Love. She's really my favorite ever since! Her songs are too hot to handle. :)

Well, this lovely song is currently my favorite. An awesome party song, indeed! Just sharing so you can sing and dance along too. Have fun! 

The AppleSeed Experience

Another first time with my significant other! :) For the first time in our lives, Jigs and I had a full body massage service at AppleSeed Skin and Nail Spa, SM San Lazaro branch. It was nice enough after all the body pains I accumulated from a week-long stress because of an event.

AppleSeed according to their description is a " first original Neo-Tokyo Anime Themed Skin and Nail services specialist in the Philippines". Actually, we never knew it until we read their description hanging on their wall. We didn't really feel that Anime vibe except for the attendants in Japanese schoolgirl outfits and some photos of famous anime series posted on their walls. They also said that they use Japanese techniques and technology! Oh well, if that's what Japanese people do, it's pretty relaxing. 

I loved the hand and foot massage, maybe because these are the most abused parts of my body these past weeks. I super enjoyed the stretching parts also, it felt like I'm doing Yoga. :) But the exceptional one was the head massage. Like, I could actually sleep right then and there. After it, I keep on telling Jigs that I want a 30-minute head massage! But for him, he enjoyed the back massage which I felt was too hard for me. 

After all, it was a great experience! For an affordable price, we got to pamper ourselves for a while and had a little piece of heaven in our hands. It's so nice to get to share these kind of moments with the person I love.  <3

Dramatista Presents Screen Name: Francesca

Last August 2011, the new face of UP Manila Dramatista was launched. And to give the people a little glimpse of what this NEW and IMPROVED university- based theater group has to offer, the organization,  after the successful Dramarathon (a series of mini plays) last August, planned to stage a musical play.

Two months of hard work, two nights of awesomeness.

Featuring original compositions from its members, UP Manila Dramatista (with the help of Mr. Leo Fernandez Cruda as the director) undeniably gave an extraordinary interpretation of Marcelino Agana Jr.'s New Yorker in Tondo that captured the hearts of the Iskolars ng Bayan. (I know)

Surely, Screen Name: Francesca was a big success. Thanks to the Public Relations Student Society of the Philippines of UP Manila (PSSSP-UP Manila), Alpha Sigma Fraternity, and The Elbert Pardiñas Show for making the event possible. Thank you also to those who watched the show!

Till next time, you darling, darling, people! :)

*will blog more about this soon. I'm just waiting for the photos. :)
