HCC (Hilot Care Cilinc) Wellness Center & Spa

ABBEY: Wilma is a fan of massage therapy. So when we we're still in boyfriend-girlfriend stage, we made an appointment for a session of whole body massage on HCC Spa at West Avenue, Quezon City. 

I got relaxed and satisfied for most of the massage sessions we had there unlike Wilma who is complaining that the masseur didn't give much pressure on her muscles. 

A body massage costs Php350. They also have promos for each month. Just ask at the reception.

WILL: I am their loyal customer since their HumanEssence days. When you are dealing with the Bureau of Customs in Philippines, you can easily justify that you need a pampering every other week. Hehe! 

Everytime that hubby and I went to Manila I am making sure to make an appointement with them. The quality of the massage, the cleanliness and masseures kindness and skills never changed. They have a free tea or coffee for you to enjoy.

A tip: go there before 5pm to avail their early bird promo and for you to avoid the long waiting hour. 

Bornga (Original Korean Taste) at VivoCity

ABBEY: We have dined in at Bornga Korean restaurant at Vivo City for lunch after a book hunt at Logos Hope. Feeling that I won and got my prized books, I ordered Chadol Duenjang Jigae. It will be prepared to you by their chef at your table. Unfortunately, I said yes when he asked me if chilli should be added. I'm not that a fan of chilli as my tongue gets numb and I'm not able to taste the food. The chandol taste sour and spicy; maybe its because of the kimchi. 

We were also given small bowls of side dishes like soy sprouts and anchovies. It was a new experience to have dined in a Korean restaurant. Next time I'll try their bulgogi.

WILL: After our hunt for discounted price books of Left Behind Series at Logos Hope, we decided to splurge on our lunch. It was the 2nd day for 2014 Chinese New Year holiday and we understand that almost all of restaurants will be packed by hungry people.We set our foot at Bornga. Well, I have a craving for Korean cuisine for that day and Bornga will be perfect.

I asked for Dolsot Bibimbap. They poured in a complimentary bottmless hot tea and the side dishes starts settling on our table. I was so shocked that was really a lot! I jokingly told to the server that the side dish can fill my tummy and hope that I just ordered a steamed rice, haha. 

Dolsot bibimbap is very good specially partnered with kimchi. Oh, I love kimchi a lot. 

This is a very recommended place to dine. The place is very relaxing and the attendants are very accommodating. 

Thanks a lot Bornga Team, you made our holiday so great! 

Rejoice Container Services Pte Ltd at Bishan Park

ABBEY: We have visited a couple of parks here in Singapore including Bishan Park which we went to recently. As usual I'm the "uninvited" guest at Rejoice's gathering. 

Bishan Park is a huge place occupying about 62-hectares of land. Outdoor activities like picnic, jogging, skating (inline skates can be rented), and kite-flying are amongst you can do on the park. They even have dog playpen too. 

The most prominent feature is the old concrete canal that was transformed into a river with the purpose of encouraging the people to get closer to the waters. Stepping stones were set so people can crossover it and enjoy the sight of fish and water plants. But the public is being reminded that when the sirens went off during strong rain showers they should immediately get out of the water as it rises up to 3-meters high. A peak was also formed so visitors can get a good vantage point of the site. 

Visit the park day or night and you will be amazed, relaxed and refreshed.

WILL: Our Rejoice Family organized a mini-event, an outdoor fun at Bishan Park last Saturday, 15^th of March. Clap, clap, clap to Sherwin for arriving first. Haha!

As instructed, each will bring a meal from our own kitchen, Abbey and I really put an effort to cook that time. Why? We both thought that we can just order 4 boxes of pizza but Ma’am Ivy suddenly asked us to cook something. Well, hello to kwek-kwek!

All brought food and we sat there, listened to stories, eat so much and laugh a lot! We are so full that time and that makes us so sleepy! Kung pwede lang matulog dun talaga. Haha!

We bid goodbye around 9PM. The Bishan Park is so perfect for jogging, cycling, picnic and even watch the fish swim against the current. The cool breeze is so relaxing! Thanks Rejoice Team for introducing Bishan Park to me and Abbey :)
