It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas! With cheers and jeers from our peers just as the holidays are about to commence on again I could not help but be thankful for the year that was 2017 where a lot of changes, challenges, learnings and memories have changed my life 🙂
Just last week I was able to finally walk up the stage of the Henry Lee Erwin Theatre to get my Master’s in Business Administration Diploma as I shook the hand of Fr. Villarin, the President of the Ateneo Loyola Schools. 🙂 It was a surreal feeling since it finally dawned on me that after 3 years of going to night class and taking a leave from work to focus on my thesis, I now have more time to focus on my other pressing priorities and can already move on to greater things since I have more control of my time 🙂


I guess everything really works out well in God’s perfect time. You just have to keep your focus and just keep on swimming in this journey called life.
So before I digress again in another litany, let me first indulge myself in a relaxing whole body massage which is my favorite stress buster after a long and winding week. Anyone who knows me can testify on my love for massages as I am always on the lookout for the newest trends and hottest places where I can get my massage fix.

In line with this, it is quite good to know that Blue Water Day Spa is currently celebrating its 12th year in the Wellness Industry. ICYDK, Blue Water Day Spa has long been known as the “spa of choice” of some of the most celebrated personalities in the local entertainment and social scene.

In an event held a couple of days back at the Novotel Hotel in Quezon City. Model, Actor and Host Fabio Ide served as the master of ceremonies during the media launch wherein he introduced 6 of his fellow BWDS celebrity wellness ambassadors to an audience of various media practitioners from top notch digital publications.

The ambassadors included Ervic Vijandre, Benjamin Alves, Blanca Mercado, David Licauco, Mustafa Galal Elezali and Kim Chiu.

Each one of them testified to their top picks in the various treatments offered by BWDS. Some of their favorite services were the Traditional Filipino Hilot which incorporates tender healing massage strokes with a 15-minute Ventosa (Chinese Cupping) technique that uses indigenous herbs to soothe tense muscles and clear nodules at the back area.
They also had other crowd favorites like the Athlete’s Massage which is a 90-minute deluxe therapeutic massage designed for athletes and active people. It comes with a 10-minute hot moist pack to heal joint pain and improve mobility. (This for me would be one of the best treatments since I am such a sucker for hot packs which soothes my tired muscles).
Kim Chui, being one of the brand’s long time runnnig ambassador also graced the luncheon draped in an all white ensemble. She vouched for her favorite treatment which was the MLD massage.
This is a therapeutic massage prescribed for detoxifying and slimming. This toxin targetting massage technique recharges the immune system, reduces water retention and boosts sluggish circulation. This type of massage is best for people with:
- Edemas
