Thank you to Upworthy for sharing this on Facebook today:
Though I haven’t seen every single episode of Glee since Season 1, I am a Gleek (checkout my Glee posts) and I have grown to love the characters. I even cried at the season 3 finale, when they all graduated and bid farewell to Rachel at the train station. So yes I was saddened by the death of Cory Monteith. It is difficult to imagine Glee without him. His smile, his awkward dancing, his auto-tuned voice, even his drum beating.
We have months until the next season of Glee, which gives me time to watch reruns and pretend that Finn Hudson is still alive. But for those real hardcore fans, consider supporting the charity that Cory believed in. And give more kids a reason to not stop believing.
Most people who know me also know how much I love shopping – online and offline. Recently, perhaps because of my still recovering back and leg, I have taken to online shopping more. No need to walk so much and no waiting in lines. Sometimes I worry I’ll get off balance while trying on the clothes I wish there were always tubular handles I can hang on to everywhere. In June, I got this small box of happiness from my favorite local online shopping destination, ZaloraPH:
No, it wasn’t a surprise box, I ordered it after all. Alfred paid the delivery guy directly, we didn’t have to use a credit card nor rush to a bank or to 7/11 to make the purchase. I paid cash on delivery. So convenient!
What’s in the box? Happiness in the form of earrings!
These pieces are bound to stay in my jewelry box for awhile, to be taken out and worn over and over again. They add a nice boost of color to my outfits, and puts a smile on everyone who notices them. Lakas maka-sosyal kasi.
Since my first Zalora loot last year, all I have are positive experiences from this online retail store. Delivery only takes 2-3 days, and they make sure to contact you via SMS or thru a phone call for updates. Truly feels like there’s still a personal touch to the service.
If you have yet to sign up at Zalora.com.ph, let me give you a good reason too. Sign up now and enter your order. Use this coupon code to take 15% off your first purchase: ZBAPMzr. Easy peasy. Share the code with your family and friends too.
We are booked for a trip to Cagayan De Oro (and Camiguin!) in February next year. Thanks to Cebu Pacific’s Piso Fare promotion, everyJuan can fly!

The seat sale is still on going. Heard about it at work yesterday morning and I kept getting kicked out, server errors are common when so many people try to get cheap flights. I don’t always luck out with these things so I figured I’d try when everyone else had the pickings. 1AM apparently is a good time, and since flight dates are January to June 2014, there’s still plenty of available flights.
I had a nice time today at Ace Water Spa. Spent the afternoon with birthday girl Charisse, a dear friend from work.
Entrance to the water spa is PhP550.00 for adults and PhP250.00 for kids below four feet. It’s good for four full hours of fun. We probably lasted only three hours though. Next time, we intend to do a full hour at the lap pool. Today, I only did about four laps. I really feel like my body needs to do this regularly.
Going there without first having lunch was probably a bad idea. We were so hungry before our time ended. It also made for a big late lunch:
I had Salisbury Steak while Cha had the Ace Club Sandwich. Yummy, and fairly priced too.
Like I said, I feel like my body needs this regularly. As in two to three times a week. Haha! We’re officially on voucher watch, hoping CashCashPinoy or Metrodeal would have deals again soon, like this one. I’m also thinking of getting their Privilege Card, it costs PhP 999 and entitles the holder to a 10% discount to the spa and lounge (good for a year, and renewable without a fee!). It comes with 12 vouchers too that can be used until end of this year; there are buy 1 take 1 coupons, and buy 2 get 1 free as well. I think it’s a good deal and I just might get myself one. Today we used my buy one get one voucher from my Belle De Jour planner
Anyway, that’s how I spent the last precious hours of my weekend. In a few hours, I’m back to the grind. I did, however, have a very fun Fourth of July and a movie date on the 5th. More on that soon. How’s your weekend?
I have a confession to make. It isn’t just sleep, reading, and crocheting that’s taking up my spare time. Playing the free iOS game EPIC is too.
We went to see the movie last month (in 3D) and we enjoyed it so much I figured it wouldn’t hurt to try out the game. It is free after all.
The app icon sports Nod’s photo. I wish it was Ronin or MK instead, or even the slugs. Haha!
But he looks guwapo in his Leafman uniform, so okay na rin.
I like building my kingdom, training units, and doing battles. It’s a good thing I removed my CC info from my Apple ID or else I’d have bought a bucket of Aura already in exchange for more workers. So the game also teaches me to be patient, and to maximize the time of my workers so I could achieve what I want.
Battles could be Single- (against Boggans) or Mutli-Player (other users). I haven’t lost yet!
But I really hate the waiting part. I want more workers so I can continue to expand, upgrade, or harvest ingredients!
Here’s how my kingdom looks like right now:
I’m not an app/game reviewer so this post probably lacks the finer points of a review that would convince you to check it out for yourself. But I play games on my iPhone, and I definitely love this one.
