LG Announces Call for Entries for LG Ambassador Challenge

Following the success of the Philippine pilot the past year, LG renews the call for entries for the Ambassador Challenge until March 24. The global initiative, spearheaded by Korea Friends of Hope International (KFHI), reiterates LG’s commitment to play an active role in local communities and help drive sustainable growth.

The LG Ambassador Challenge was first founded in 2017 in Bangladesh with other South Asian countries staging their own a few years after. The initiative’s main goal is for individuals and local organizations to submit plans that foster positive change for the local community. The best proposals are awarded grants to help fulfill their initiatives. For the Philippines’ first LG Ambassador Challenge, ‘Ride for Hope’ by Bahay Aruga and ‘Roof for Siargao’ by Red Charity Gala were selected as the two winners.

LG PH Managing Director Sungjae Kim looks forward to see new proposals for the second run of the program. “The LG Ambassador Program for the Philippines is a categorical success. Ever since, we’ve always wanted to play an active role in lending a helping hand to the community. But the beauty of the Ambassador Program is that it gives us a more focused, targeted, and grassroots approach to community building and betterment. It gives us fresh perspectives and new ways to help.”

Under an overarching vision that sees various aspects of society working together to achieve a better life for all, the program is open to all groups that strive to bring about positive change for their community, solve social problems and alleviate poverty through LG products and technologies. It is a unique opportunity for individuals, groups, and organizations to make a difference.

Relaxation is not that too distant

we are all under pressure in our everyday lives and it's not just caused by the summer heat. the stress caused by the demanding work load in the office makes my tiny body sore and might almost drop if i don't get the time to rest. getting in and out of the office they also say is very dangerous so i take vitamins to stop getting flu caused by the changing temperature.

as i've talked about BlueWater Day Spa before, i am lucky enough to experience their spa theater with other fellow bloggers. now, they want us to experience again their services at the Capitol Hills branch. and from the green and relaxing view of Capitol Hills, a good massage will be a great addition.

a nice whole body massage would be able to take off those back stresses and improve my blood circulation and definitely would take me to a good sleep. i already can manage my tickles and enjoy a good massage. BlueWater Day Spa has made me experience the service and i want to go back.

the Capitol Hills branch is not that distant from where i live. just a ride from Katipunan avenue can drop me at the nearest BlueWater Day Spa. it wouldn't be so hard for me to get the massage i want.

(knock knock Francis! hehe)

Francis is already standing by the foot spa entrance waiting for the guests to come. he's tall and of course very welcoming. you're the man, Francis, for putting up a business venture like this and this is BIG TIME!

then i met joy, we had conversations about the blogging thing and everything and she too was very excited about the treat that BlueWater Day Spa had for us that night. the food is already served and we really got to see firsthand the huge lazy boy chairs, the water-like illusion carpet and the theater-like foot massage room which is uniquely intended for your social gatherings. good thing that we arrived early, we are able to take some shots of the place, get the best seats and take the first bites of the food served. very healthy and light fruit trimmings and sandwiches with bottomless orange juice or nestea on the side. first step to heaven.

then the other bloggers arrived. since this is an exclusive event, the spa theater only accommodates 28 people for the chairs. too bad that not all 28 are able to come but at least we enjoyed the whole event. we were introduced to the Spa Theater and i observed the smile on the people's faces get upto the back of their necks. lol

first, Francis took us on a tour inside the whole spa area. but prior too that, i needed to take a pee for i've been drinking juice ever since i started to eat. and i was in awe of seeing a very clean and neatly organized men's locker room. very minimal design and very comforting.

we were almost like in a Star Trek ala Star Wars hallway with the BlueWater Spa's hallway. as Francis have said, even at the hallway you will already feel relaxed. then we entered the different rooms and most of us are ready to lie on the beds and wait for the therapists to come and give us the treatment we've been waiting for.

the Sauna Room, Private Group Room, Diamond Room for couples

when we returned to the theater, not long enough that the therapists entered with a grandiose entrance as if we are expecting a production number from them. then the lights were turned off and Kung Fu Panda started to play while the therapists did their work on our feet. words are not enough to describe the feeling for i almost felt asleep with the very relaxing treatment.

the review: 5 stars, A+, GUJAB, love it!

before i forget, the access to the BlueWater Spa is very easy. here's how.

so if you are planning to have your relatives and friends or anyone you want to be with and enjoy the perks i had, you can check their website at http://www.BlueWaterDaySpa.com or check the price list here.

Total Relaxation (Spa and Movies: WHY NOT diba?)

with a lot of you've been doing, how can you still manage to go take a rest? people would say, RELAX, SEE A MOVIE. but isn't it also stressful going to the movie houses and you won't even be able to watch the movie as you wanted because of noises in the room? like when i watch Harry Potter and kids are making a lot of noises and keep asking their guardians why is it and why is that? i would say to myself, just watch the movie, you brats! now tell me, did i get a relaxing moment? no. and with all the work at the office, even while just sitting down is hard on the back. sometimes you get your eyes tired and your shoulders get pains. some stretches won't do if you got tons of load. in those times, i just wish that someone could give me a back rub or a little massage when i want to get the pain off.

but i want to get both perks at the same time. movies and back rubs combined! you think that's impossible? no, it exists! really! how? this is the new buzz. i came across this blog (http://techfilipino.com) about the new BlueWater Day Spa located in Ortigas and found out that they have developed a Spa Theater! a theater in a spa may have been off the track but the owners of this spa have made it possible for us. imagine, you are getting your muscles relaxed and your eyes satisfied with your favorite movie!

BlueWater Day Spa's Spa Theater has a 28-people capacity so you can have 27 of your friends and loved ones in one great party. i would like to have a game on this, i would ask 27 people who say they are "virgins" to touches, massage touch if i should specify on that. the ones with the funny bones or the komikeros and komikeras and we'll see who won't stand on a stroke on the foot, a little pressure within the waist area. hahaha i don't know if there's still people like that who are malakas ang kiliti. and then the funniest movie will be shown here:

what do you think? it's nice, right? but wouldn't you think that it's nice to have a movie party if you have Dolby Surround Sound 7.1 reception, a projection of about 160 inch-5 feet wide, while sitting on a Lazy Boy couch. whoa! ang sarap!

back on the game, everyone should give in to the pot money and stay focused and relaxed without laughing at a massage pressure. at mahahawa na ang lahat once may isang taong kakaiba ang hagikgik. the winner gets the pot money! of course, everybody will benefit from it too. katuwaan lang na walang tatawa sa masahe. (i think i'll lose this game in the middle. hehe)

what if, a date auction! hahaha.. never been to those kinds of events but i think it's fun. and then the bids will be used for charity para may good cause. a bundle of searchees will be paraded and the searcher with the highest bid will get the seachee for a date. sa private room pa ng spa. hahaha... may pumatol kaya sa gimik na to?

oh well, in case you want to know more about this new spa that people have been buzzing about, check out their website. and hope your imagination will overflow with ideas on how to spend your quality time there.

My Shopaholic Confession

hi i'm ohmski, and i'm a shopaholic.

i have this very impulsive instinct when it comes to shopping. usually when i get bored and i found that i have money in my wallet, i buy all stuff that i want. lately when i had received my christmas bonus, immediately i bought some shirts, shorts and my basic needs for my own pampering. of course, i needed to reserve some for stuff at home and this leads me to the shopping mecca of the philippines, divisoria!

usually every christmas season, me and my mom are going to divisoria and all is on me. we start by dropping off at reyne rejente's meisic mall and from there, i can already get best buys. then a little walk at 168 to divisoria mall even at the tutuban center. even while on the road i can stretch my money and getting the best items on sale. 

i love getting bargains and wholesale items as gifts for my godchildren and relatives. i still end up buying more stuff for me. no need to ask, it's my own money! but i still manage to get all nice stuffs for everyone on the list. i want to be like a Santa on christmas. but i consider factors for the items to give to my love ones. the quality is still number one. that's why i'm having my mom to shop with me because she can be my advisor if an item is good.

but still i end up tired going home because i have bags of clothes and gift items on both hands. even though my feet hurts, i still have another day and another day to sweep the next shopping destination... the mall.
