We were walking along one of the Shoppesville hallways when we came upon this kiddie costume. Want to dress your kid up as Spongebob? Sure thing! As long as you don’t mind that Spongebob went a little bit heavy on mascara. ;)

I was going around Star City with my daughter and other relatives a few weeks back when I saw this sign. I couldn’t help but smile. If you suddenly got short of money for your perks but badly needs a quick massage, you might want to try this one for only twenty bucks, roughly .42 cents (using the US dollar conversion rate as of this time). Massage for less, why not. :D

Give me a J? Spotted near Shaw Blvd.

Spotted along Boni Ave.

Spotted this jeep in traffic. While it does look like it’s rooting for Gringo, I think they forgot to plaster one part of the jeepney with posters. Intentional or not? I don’t really know, but it was amusing to see anyway!

It’s the season for sacrifice. How about losing some weight, gaining some height, balancing the mind and body, and finding peace in the process? You can try yoga. Better yet – you can try Bikram Yoga.

Say what?

Bikram Yoga entails a series of 26 yoga postures in a heated room – more heated than whatever has come of Manila upon the advent of summer. In this class, you see, room temperatures are kept at 38°C, with an average humidity of 60 percent. You don’t need the numbers to understand that even without moving around too much, Bikram Yoga will have you sweat those extra pounds away. Moreover, it helps manage stress, remove tension headaches, increase energy and prevent sports injuries.

Several of my colleagues have signed up for the classes already, in much the same excitement as for a trip to the beach, even waiting for…nay, persuading me to join (but I can’t get any skinnier!). In any event, it’s never self-indulgent to keep your body fit and your mind focused. It’s only a worthy sacrifice.

For more information on Bikram Yoga Manila, visit the official website or call 376-4632 (Quezon City studio) and 889-1011 (Makati studio).

Makati will be able to keep Mayor Binay for now as Malacañang’s suspension order for him has been declared null and void by the Court of Appeals. If you can recall, Malacañang ordered a 60 day preventive suspension order against Binay Otober last year for allegations on ghost employees that the Makati City has employed.

I think several opposition mayors (Pasay and Paranaque?) were also under the same heat from Malacanang, this is good news for those Binay supporters.

Since there won’t be MRT service in the upcoming holidays, MMDA has suspened coding on Thursday and Friday this week and Monday next week.

The 2007 Philippine Blog Awards was celebrated last night at the RCBC Theater in Makati. Cocktails kicked off the evening, with the judges, finalists and guests chitchatting and posing for the cameras. While the awarding ceremony started an hour late, the guests used the extra time to mingle some more and meet other bloggers. While we were in our semi-formal, it did seem like one big EB. ;) Smiles and laughter were all around, including lines like “I thought you would be taller!” Without further ado, here are the winners of the 2007 Philippine Blog Awards.
