At Perxclub- Enjoy the Perks of Life!

The Decagon, Silver City

How many of us have loyalty cards that we bring with us each day? I firmly believe that a lot of us have three or more plastic cards stored in their purse or billfolds. I for one is a sucker for collecting assorted membership cards that I acquire from restaurants and different merchants. I actually have alloted a card wallet for these plastic and paper cards so as to keep them from cluttering my leather wallet. I first had a multi-card wallet with a double pocket change purse but later on decided to have a card wallet of my own.

Last September 17, I was invited to witness the unveiling of one of the Philippines mobile history's milestones, none other than the official launch of the Perxclub Mobile Application, introduced by Mobile optima Inc. Bloggers like me, press people and individuals from digital marketing society come together for this exclusive launch with lots of fun, freebies and surprises. So what is this Perxclub exactly? It is the Philippines' first and only digital rewards program that digitizes your loyalty cards and put them all in one place you won't forget, your phone! Ergo, gastronomists and shop-a-holics will find convenience once they've downloaded this app on their very phone ans mind you downloading the said app is free. Once done you are on your way to collect Perxstamps or digital stamps everytime your purchase from over 60 premier brands in the metro. And with that, you are lucky enough to receive free stuffs from partner merchants. Sound good, eh.

CHICKEN DELI is now in SM Santa Rosa

(L-R) Louie Rivera Jr., JB Mapa, David Abrenilla, RC Ciocon and friend.

Chicken Deli took the south by storm literally! Chicken Deli launched its latest branch last Sunday, September 16, 2012 at SM Santa Rosa, Laguna. The new branch was flooded by Inasal fans on this rainy day who wanted to get a feel of the Inasal craze and to grab a taste of that popular and delicious Chicken recipe from the festive City of Bacolod.

The simple and intimate store blessing was attended by close friends, family and Chicken Deli store owners that came all the way from Bacolod. As soon as the kitchen started grilling their famous original Inasal dishes, Sunday mall visitors started pouring in the restaurant from kids, teens, old timers, friends and family! Chicken Deli caters to all and offers everyone that enters its doors a satisfying smile on their faces and a reason to look forward to for their next visit.

SPAOAY Wellness Center in Timog Avenue, Quezon City

If you are residing in Quezon City and a frequent passerby along Timog Avenue, then you could have probably noticed this newly-opened wellness center that offers traditional Ilocano treatment for massage and facials which make use of herbs like tea tree, mint and coffee. The name Spaoay was coined from the words Spa and an Ilocos town, Paoay; owned and managed by a full-blooded Ilocano, chef Danny de la Cuesta and his four close friends and business partners. Yes they are the very owners of Comida Ilocandia, the neighboring restaurant and it was nice to know that their concerted dreams of having a venture like these finally came true even if they came from different discipline. 

I've tried assorted kinds of wellness spa here in Manila since I learned how to give importance to my well-being, and I bet this is one place that promises to have a regional thematic set-up. In Spaoay, they proudly offer time-honored therapies from the Ilocos region that has a strong belief of healing touch. In that case the owners only employ professionally trained and TESDA accredited staff to be able to  perform wellness therapies that have a distinguished past.

Mr. de la Cuesta toured us in his three-floor spa building that send out homey and ultra comfortable sensation. Facilities are  new and boast of being large and uniquely set up. In every corner you'll see some  hand-carved kamagong figurine and some classic displays from cloth to lighting fixtures.

 

Once inside make sure to indulge in wellness rituals like Spaoay Traditional Massage Therapies, which I experienced for 1 and a half hour; other choices or packages include Spaoay Body Wash Therapies, Spaoay Brazilian Way, Spaoay Deep Facial Cleansing Therapy, Spaoay Innovation Fusion Therapies, Spaoay Full Body Polish Treatment Package and Spaoay Body Bliss Therapy which is perfect for men and women.
