Skyline Luge Sentosa




ABBEY:
This is what I like the most of the rides I tried in Sentosa so far. It has 2 routes; the easy one and the one they called Dragon route, which has a lot of curves. You must take caution not only for yourself but for the other drivers as well. A tutorial will be given to you as you enter the gate. Put all loose things in your bag or pocket so it will not fall along the way. Make sure to pull the stirring wheel for brakes, else you'll crash to the barrier.



WILL: I am not a thrill seeker as VA is, but I love to try new things. This luge is not just a ordinary ride, machine that needs no oil, just plain gravity. :) 
Now the dragon trail is open and we tried it. Astonished, just two of us only took this trail on our batch. 
The road is longer, more curves and more exciting! But this time, i hesitated to run the luge as fast as i took the old trail. I am afraid i'll fall to its cliff. Hehe. :) 
      Ticket how much? Free lah! A free gift when we attend the opening of Sentosa Boardwalk :)

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).
