Mirror, mirror on the wall . . .

How lucky can you get? Bahia Spa is the prize!

Bahia Spa and Wellness, package worth a thousand and three - free - gift from your successful daughter - How lucky Malaybalayan could get. . .

Remember the place, Metrolifestyle Fitness Center and SPA, F. Torres Street Corner, Jacinto Extension,Davao City or www.metro-lifestyle.com.

It began with a shower, followed by one-hour jacuzzi experience.
Then the trip to the sauna steam room. Somebody should tell many that one could get used to it.
After twenty minutes, a knock on the door: thirty-minute tub soaking bath treatment with orchids everywhere and candles for its soft lighting effect.

Another knock, ready for Kape Barako body scrub. Twenty or so minutes for the coffee to do its job. Then it was time to be washed off the coffee scent. Wow! abundant supply of fast shower through your body from head to toe.

Then out for foot spa. Twenty or so minutes, out again for body massage. A blissful feeling would come over you. After almost an hour, the package has done its full service.

What or better still whom did I see on the mirror? Malaybalayan, pinkish cheeks, very clean feeling from head to toe and sleepy. My daughter, my sponsor looking healthy and dandy herself.

To Leony and Freda, thanks for the splendid, "out-of-this world" escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Till another generous benefactor comes along.

While it seems untimely to spend much for something luxurious, it might be just what Malaybalayan and you need at this time of discouragement and depression.

Wow!!!Janette Toral, "You made my day!"

Call it "th" but if a comment comes from a great blogger like Janette Toral, you will always have a blog space just for you. So, Malaybalayan means it, JT, you made my day! Please do this more often. Now, as the fifth stage describes it: Life is great or maybe fourth stage: We're great.

By the way JT, because of the 3rd Mindanao Bloggers Summit, Malaybalayan has given "birth" to another blogspot: Teacher's teacher. blogspot.com. M would be honored to interview you as one of the great mentors of bloggers. How about it?

This scenario is what genuine bloggers should imbibe, not the "Am great but you aren't" tendency which by the way, JT hit on the nail with a specific case M was privy to. No offense meant to anybody, just the girl scout and teacher-sides of Malaybalayan.

Malaybalayan learns from Mindanao Bloggers

It is not passe to admit that indeed "Learning is a never ending experience." Malaybalayan agrees so last weekend, particularly October 24, Saturday, whole day, blogging was Malaybalayan's focus.
Thanks to Asterisk Events & Communication, Malaybalayan was given an id and the folder. M literally sat through all the topics and won a Smart laptop bag for being the oldest blogger!

Some learning insights inspired by the 3rd Mindanao Bloggers Summit speakers:
1) Malaybalayan may have more blogs; one for girl scouts for M is a girl scout-Vice-President for field in Bukidnon Council and chairperson of the Communications Com. and perhaps another for teachers - yes, M is a teacher for more than 30 years. . . Expect the announcements soon!

2) Malaybalayan now accepts that she cannot just blog away but has to link, link, link. . . so expect M to become more link-oriented. Anyone to volunteer?

3) There are 5 stages I can measure up to according to Janette Toral (wow! she will blow your mind and challenge you to be a better blogger: Stage one: Life sucks; Stage two: My life sucks; Stage three: I' m great; Stage 4: We're great and Stage 5: Life is great.

Certainly stage five is the best attitude we can adapt but with life, stages are the way to wisdom. So if you're in stage one, go through it and before long, you will graduate to stage 2 then 3 and gets stuck for who does not like to be great. Still, with constant tugging from your conscience you'll get over it and comes stage 4 and again stays there for the two of you, can organize a mutual admiration society. With God's Providence who can stop Him from making you His agent of change and make life great for all of God's humanity?

Thanks CDO Bloggers for the great day. Someday, Malaybalayan might make make it to the Philippine Blog Awards. Dream on Malaybalayan.
