Bacolod and Negros Bloggers Meet Up

The Bloggers of Bacolod City and Negros Island will hold their very first Meet-Up on July 4, 2009 at the Lobby Lounge of the Casino Filipino Hotel, Bacolod City. All bloggers residing in Negros are invited to join.

Bloggers, or web loggers in Bacolod City had been around for several years already. However, this is the first time that an effort has been made to mobilize them and form a community. On Saturday, Manila’s blogging guru, Janette Toral, will hold a talk on how to monetize blogs. The event will hold the networking of bloggers not only in Negros but around the country as well. There will also be raffles and games.

All bloggers, whether personal or pro-bloggers, are welcome. Different platforms (e.g. blogspot, wordpress, livejournal, xanga, myspace, friendster, etc.) are welcome. The registration will start at 6:00PM and is absolutely free.

The Blade Spa Opens at Mambukal

The Blade Spa is now offering massage services in an Asian-inspired setting at the Mambukal Mountain Resort.

Their services include Swedish Massage, Foot Massage, Body Scrub, Facial, Manicure and Pedicure. They are conveniently located beside the Sulfuric Dipping Pool, so clients can first take a therapeutic bath before getting a massage.

Although The Blade Spa is housed in a native cottage surrounded by a bamboo fence and covered by cogon grass, the interior is by no means rustic. It has a dry area and wet area and a modern shower. It has a body scrub room equipped with a shower.

Visit The Blade Spa from 10am to 11pm. Cottage services also available.
