Survivor - Redemption Island

ABBEY: 
I was surprised by seeing former Survivors who played the game more than once to be be given another chance. Maybe thats why its called Redemption. Proving themselves of what they can do. A week after it started, Zapatera tribe made their greatest game; to vote out Rusell - the ultimate villain in Survivor history. Its good they voted him out. Yes, he can put spice in the game and make it to the final three. But I assure you, he can't win the million. That's because of his attitude of the game. Even Grant, the right hand of Rob Mariano, was pissed off when he watched the game. He was betrayed first in the immunity idol by his own "boss" then he was blindsided during the tribal council. There's also Matt the Newbie, who spent most of his time in Redemption Island. All in all, the season is great. Challenges and rewards are exciting. Congratulation to Rob and to all the Survivors.

WILL: I saw redemption island first at Survivor Philippines. So I am not surprised to it. What I am astonished with is to see the villains of Survivors and it made me more excited and actually I rooted for them.
      But Russell was shut out to the island. So Rob is the one who kept my heart pumping. Why? Anytime his tribe can vote him out. But Rob outwit them all. He became heartless but that is part of the game. It is how the people who voted out how will handle that case. Some were very bitter when they were blind sided. But is if they were in Rob's place, eh di ba nila gagawin yun? hmmmm..
      Very witty Rob, very good game! Looking forward for next survivor season.

Irene Verdida - Make up Artist

ABBEY: Wilma is looking for hair and make-up package for the wedding since last year. I think she has asked several artists for their quotations. She chose Ms. Irene Verdida. Asking for her wedding package the second time, she told us that she will retain the prices of 2010 since we inquired during that year.

She and her staff were very early for the call time and started their work as soon as they arrived. The products are great as well as the services. The make-up last the entire wedding or should I say hours after we tied the knot. Thanks Ms. Irene. You made my wife more beautiful.

WILL: I search and search, ask for their wedding packages, then I choose whoever my heart feels to be my make-up artist. So we chose Ms. Irene Verdida. Her wedding package was not the cheapest but when I talked to her over the phone, I felt the sincerity in her work. I haggled on her package but she told me that she increased prices for 2011 but since she saw my inquiry last year pa, she gave me the 2010 deals and it worth us Php11,000++ for Airbrush Make-up (bride) plus four traditional make-ups. 

What unusual to this dealings, we never saw each other before our big day. Just email, sms messages and phone calls lng tlga. I don't even hesitate to send our down payment sa account nya, as if na isa sya sa mga nababasa ko na bogus suppliers in the net. 

Very accommodating, nasa hotel na sya pero kami, still on our slumber. Ang usapan 530AM pero I think mas maaga pa sya dun. Ha! 

She uses MAC products, the product I only trusted for make-ups. Why? Di talaga sya natutunaw, sus sa dami na naman na events na pinag-abayan and napunthan ko. I usually asked for MAC tlga!

Well recommended. Four thumbs up (kasama thumbs ni Abbey). 

Singapore Arts Festival 2011

ABBEY: 

Another festival to celebrate here at SG. They encourage visitors by providing a ride in a FunVee bus. Once we stepped in we made our way up to the upper deck. That was our first time to ride in an open top bus. From Suntec City, it fetched people also in Marina Bay Sands, then went through the Festival Village. Temporary halls were installed for the exhibitors to showcase their arts. We headed to the food junction as we're hungry. We tried their chicken shawarma and german sausage all for 11sgd. What a great bite :) We roved around and see the exhibits. Lastly, we redeemed our freebies as prize to the first 2000 who joined the festival.

WILL: When I am on my way to Suntec para manundo ng asawa, I heard a group of people singing at esplanade exchange. 
Actually i don't understand their songs but I am happy to see them singing, a relieved after a stressful week of work.
They hand me a brochure and its a Singapore arts festival. :)
So I asked Abbey if we can get there on Sunday afternoon. And yes we went there, 15th of May.
      From Suntec Bus stop, we found their free shuttle to the festival village. Hopped out, we hurriedly go for the food stalls, ordered Singapore's famous chicken shawarma and sausage. Food around the festival village costs from $5-$10.
Goodie Bag for early birds :). We have the bag just answering some trivia questions.
      The arts festival stretches up to esplanade, so we were there to see some musicians.This event is up to June 5, hoping to have time to come back.
