belo
Monday, April 27, 2009i just wanted to share my first encounter with belo medical clinic. haha. i have been contemplating on having laser hair removal for a long time. but being the chicken that i am and because of financial considerations, i always put in on hold. last week i finally mustered enough courage to inquire at belo medical clinic in trinoma.
the treatment’s regular price is 5,000PHP but guess what?! they are offering it at a discounted price of 3,920PHP per session. no need to buy a package unlike in other clinics. but to take advantage of the discount, you can pay in advance for future sessions. the recommended number of sessions is 5 to 8. it’s done one a month.
anyway, the procedure itself is in neither painless nor painful. the doctor said that the first session is usually the most painful but as the hair decreases, the pain also decreases. 
i was scared at first because the nurse handed me stress balls. i was like, it is that painful that i would need stress balls!?!
for those who are interested, this is how it goes. a doctor will first do a mini-interview then explain the procedure and the expected effect. then a nurse will escort you to the room where the procedure will be done. she’ll cover your eyes and put the laser gel on your underarms. anyway it’s a bit painful but the pain is tolerable. according to the doctor, everytime you feel the pain you just have to think of the hair that will go away. hahaha.

Tuesday, April 21, 2009i discovered a new blog that i am currently reading from beginning to end. well, this is what i do when i love a blog. i read it from cover to cover so to speak.
i love listening to the morning rush and when i found out that chico has a blog, i immediately looked for it. during my free time in the office or when i just want to take a break, i switch to his blog. i usually skip the top ten posts and read only those that are more personal. if you would like to get hooked as well, here’s the url: http://chicogarcia.wordpress.com. i’m now going through his march 2008 archive.
i like chico, i am impressed by his wit and charm. i wonder if delamar has her own blog.
just a thought…
