    Trixia Salonga

    Hi! I'm Trixia and welcome to my slice of life. I'm not your average blogger, I'm a hybrid of multi-dimensional shoujo, a rare breed of legal loli and a unique original producer of ideas and inspiration. My path goes on the other side of the road which is less traveled, where thrill and excitement rests. This blog holds my inner thoughts, experiences, opinions and out-of-the-ordinary theories which I keep as a journal of my life's highlights. Contact me at reshadollyprincess@gmail.com for collaboration



    One Sunday We decided to take a long walk from the Church, while walking it started raining and we looked for a place to eat. I was  famished after the mass and just a blessing when we saw a bright light coming from a Cafe located beside a car wash. We did not bring a car with us since we decided to walk. 

    Right then the place was new to me despite that the cafe was only 5-10 minutes walk from our place. We had to try it out I said to my Partner. 

    So we went in and got cozy on their humble cafe and was handed out their menu. 

    They were very courteous and friendly, we were honest to them that it is our first time and that we do not know what to order yet.

    I was looking for something heavy to eat even though its dinner haha, don't try it , it's not healthy.

    So we ordered these:


    Coffee topped with Chocolate cream and Pretzel sticks




    This drink is by far my most favorite of all, it's sweet and light!

    They also gave me a free cupcake and discussed the cakes that they do deliver and sell:

    Their facebook page are full of creative cakes and they also can help get a cake for any occasions!



    We thought the servings would only be a normal plating, but when this order came out we got so surprised since it was oversized! 


    Nacho Salad at C&F cafe
    The cafe lives by its theme as I almost froze from the cold room temperature, so I dare you to try hahaha!


    This one is my personal order, the chicken and fries are juicy and pasta has heavenly flavor, it is simple order but surprisingly large serving!




    The serving was plenty enough that I even bought home some of the pieces that I was not able to consume because I was already full. Now thats what I call satisfied!

    They also have free super fast wifi!


    Right after we arrived at home, I had posted a good review on their page. I was so happy and satisfied.


    Then we called them up since they do deliver at home, it's so convenient!


    You can visit their facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pg/IGLOOCAFE2013/photos/

    disclaimer: 

    This is not a collaboration post, I am sharing to you my own experience without any incentives, this is my very own cafe review of the place.

    15th-floor Octagon Building, Ortigas.
    2pm

    Invitation

    It was a thrilling secret about the company, when I was informed of a blogging gig at Ortigas Center regarding awareness for skin care, the name has not been disclosed yet until such time of arrival at the place.

    I was invited by Mr. Miguel Hung, it took me a month to reply as my blogging account is separate from my work account which I always log in to. It was surprising that they still do accept the approval for the invitation last May. 

    Arrival
    I am surprised when they asked if I knew Nu Skin, it is very NEW to my knowledge especially when they asked me the products I used for my face. They said that they are going to conduct skin tests before a facial session.

    Symposium
    They have let us join a symposium for the introduction of the company which I was not able to finish as my current condition ~ gastritis has been bugging me again because we haven't had lunch since it takes 2-4 hours ride from our place to Ortigas, we missed the lunchtime.

    On that conference, we have met doctors and Directors that gave us vital information of their visions for the company.

    They encourage people to have the chance to have income by their membership for direct selling. 

    Tests were done:

    Before conducting the tests, my photographer Mr. Jonathan recognized the place where he had been before when we were at high school that he was invited by our high school teacher to join in, unfortunately as a high schooler he said that he does not have any income yet at that time, so he was not able to invest but he was incredibly interested in the development of the company especially that it stood the time since his last visit last 2007.

    So moving on the first test is the 
    1. FACIAL RECOGNITION SYSTEM:

    Mr. Miguel Hung on thumbs up to start the procedure.
    I was asked to place my chin on the scanning machine and close the eyes, I felt no pain, I only heard shutters from a camera and a somewhat different colored light flashing emitting from machine described by Photographer.

    It only took at least 1 min for the scan and I already have my results in their database.
    As you can see here on the picture, the machine thoroughly analyzed my skin condition, from then on Mr. Miguel was able to find out the best recommendation on how to address my dry skin and pimple breakouts. 

     My photographer was also tested out for the Weight analysis and from then was also able to recommend the best possible solutions.
    According to them, they recommend to Mr. Jonathan These set:


    AGELOC® TR90™ WEIGHT MANAGEMENT AND BODY SHAPING SYSTEM - VANILLA

    This will help him get to his ideal body weight. Currently, he admits that he has gone way up his BMR and he was looking to find ways to slim down, he also admits that his everyday living had been quite sedentary that why he does not seem to be losing weight.



    Fave Products:


    One by one they had introduced the products to us, but by far these are my favorites:




    It is a Mist diffuser infused with essential oils depending on your desired aroma and mood, it blasted the peppermint to my face and my tired and weary condition suddenly felt brightened up! P.S I was literally experiencing gastritis and it felt like I was being calmed down from stresses. 


    This is like the HOLY GRAIL for the skin care products, they said that this device dispenses the correct amount of solution that best suit your needs!

    That means that you will get the correct percentage of your chosen products to apply on your skin. 


    FREE FACIAL ONSITE FACIAL PRODUCTS


    So, upon introduction of the products from Facial analyzation device, the products recommended are those moisturizing, hydrating. I was beside also a guest blogger who tested out the products. 

    This is just a tissue on my face with the combined products, bear in mind that they made us take off our makeup. So forgive me if I do look terrible here.
    Encircled are the products applied to my face.

    These procedures helped me tremendously in knowing how to address my skin issues and to know the best-recommended products for a dry skin and my usual skin issues which are pimple breakouts.

    I only underwent through a free one-day facial so the results are not yet clear, but from my point of view, repeated use of the products would result in a youthful clear skin.

    You can visit their website for their products.
    Thank you very much Nuskin for your invite and free facial!

    7 reasons why filipinos will change the world

    Have you noticed that Filipinos are now dominating the entire world? A bit exaggerated, right? This is entirely true actually. Even if you don’t admit it but Filipinos are the mightiest and powerful, they also possess unique capabilities that are inherent to them. Each Filipino has a DNA of each culture in the world and it is not surprising that they can do everything if they set their mind to it. Tracing back in history, when Magellan landed to Bohol, Filipinos can already stand on their own, established their kingdoms and communities and the land was rich in good resources including a strong bond to nature and supernatural, they need not of other help from anyone, they had the capability of sustaining their needs on their own. These days, Filipinos have gain dependency and had lost their confidence; often times would praise someone whose fair skin to the point of worshipping them as idols, not that it is wrong but most of the times, opportunities pass and the capabilities become hidden as they lose their confidence in striving to become the best.
    On a recent short read of a booklet, I encountered a handy list of interesting facts about Filipinos of how why they can become a strong influence on the whole world and be an influencer of change. This book has a strong label that it must be read in 30 minutes. Yes, the whole pocketbook must be read in 30 minutes and of course, it is doable with only a piece of 36 small pages, it has given me a boost of self-confidence. This booklet shows a list of their observations and inspirational facts about Filipinos, a good must read to help you get inspired. I read this book inside an exclusive café, I was sitting solo on their bench and had limited time to boost and energize myself from all the stresses of the entire week.  
    In my list including watching inspirational anime series, listening to Vocaloid songs that uplift my spirits and made me remember my dreams, this booklet completes all necessary ingredients on my de-stressing and bits of fuel for motivation. Why?

     1.     Short read in 30 minutes
    This book is a small amount of energy drink that doesn’t take so much of your time; most of us are in limited time with either work or business and extra activities. It wouldn't even take most of your time versus the time you spent scrolling down your social media feeds, reading a book can actually make a person fulfilled to be productive and a good brain food. 

    2.     Lightweight booklet
    I literally only bring a handheld clutch with me on my trips to our nearby café to eat, chill and energize and this booklet doesn’t even need a space at all! It is very thin and lightweight, so handy for a short read!

    3.  Inspirational booster


    Self-actualization is one on the pyramid of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, what better way to complete the whole pyramid is to get inspiration and motivation in order to complete the stages in reaching the ultimate needs, this is a must try read to complete the fully recharge your motivation bottle.


    4.  An eye-opener
    Although on the first reasons, most mentioned are noticeable to many Filipinos, there are great points in the book that even most Filipinos fail to notice that they have it. Sometimes we literally fail to see that there are even more traits that are inherent to us which is waiting to be discovered and harnessed for us to reach our goal and dreams. Dreams are often ignored too many people but this is actually the linked to the 'empty feeling' that one usually feels. Do not stop reading and continue until you get the last page then you will know what I’m talking about.


    "The Greatest enemy of the Filipino is the Filipino"

    That line had caught me right in the feels! This is real and true to most of us, emphasizing what is wrong and letting the crab-mentality take over our actions without even thinking of the consequence has a tremendous effect, but most Filipinos do not care until such time they experience this on his own. We let envy, pride and jealousy take over rather than be thankful for our own blessings, we tend to compare this with others which lead us to downfall.

    HISTORY

    After six months of being an employee, Mr. Timothy Davis F. Angara decided to open up a business of his own. About four years ago, during his birthday, his grandmother gave him a little capital to start with, but unfortunately, he had no idea as to the type of  business he’ll undertake. Mr. John Dexter Bautista, who’s a good friend of Mr. Angara,helped him come up with food business. with the capital of Mr. Angara and the knowledge on food of Mr. Bautista, they decided to make their own product, the pocket pie, and sold it near the third gate of St. Paul’s University Dumaguete  St. Paul’s branch, little by little, they enhanced their product and increased the price. They also created other flavors to entice more customers. Years after, they decided to distribute some of their products to Kiosks in Silliman University. Fortunately, their products became profitable and so they decided to extend their operations in a mall.
    In view of the fact that the business is getting bigger, they decided to obtain a loan from a credit company to make things formal and legal. They acquired the necessary permits and documentation and started their legit operations on September 2014 at Robinson’s Mall Dumaguete. Since it’s a "ber"  month, their sales had rocketed up to two to three times than expected. With the great amount of profit they have, they decided to open up a main store at Dr. 5. Locsin Street, Dumaguete city in February 2015. The store served as the main office and as an avenue for exhibiting their products.

    Invitation

    A surprising invitation to join at Isabelle de Hidalgo Building #986 FR HIDALGO ST, QUIAPO MANILA 1001 #986 FR HIDALGO ST, QUIAPO MANILA 1001 for the launching of Massive Munchies invited by Ms. Gracy Fernandez thru Facebook. It was then that the schedule was supposedly for 7pm at that moment I felt a sense of depression as it would conflict my schedules when suddenly, Ms. Gracy had informed that the time is moved to 11:30 to 12:00 pm, receiving this news made me overjoyed as I can now proceed on the location immediately after work with no worries on mind. It is then that I learned and researched of the Company's humble beginnings and success which had inspired me. It is such short notice but nothing shall stop me from witnessing such momentous event. As usual these new schedules are a big challenge for me as I had been on shifting schedules with my work, before and after hours meetings and business engagements, whew! That surely is one busy girl! but I never felt so fulfilled my entire life as I now am able to make all my dreams come true, my only problem is of course time, most of the time I would wish that I have super capabilities or like a vampire as described with Stephen Meyer, beautiful, with incredible powers, doesn't needs sleep but hell beautiful in the eyes of many. The social part is understandable, I am having hard time catching up with my friends from schools or social medias because of this lifestyle. Although, I would still keep in touch as I can when time allows. Moving on, so for this event, it will be like a Hunter Exam in Hunter X Hunter as I have to survive and make it on time.

    OUTFIT

    This is our OOTD. Elbow length white sleeves and straight minimalistic black skirt dress. Breezy and Comfortable. Makeup: Loreal Transportation Quiapo is about two rides from North Edsa to Carriedo station, then a few walks or a cab heading near Manuel L. Quezon University,  is needed to get to the venue. It is not very far away, the location is near churches, schools and establishments which makes it easy and convenient to find. Arrival: The event is scheduled to starts 11:30 – 12:00, admittedly I was late and arrived at the venue at 1:30. I truly apologize to Ms. Gracy for the late arrival, but as soon as we arrived the event started 5 mins after. EVENT First was a warm welcome and Mr. Ted Angara had given an opening speech,  later on the RIBBON  CUTTING was held and a very thankful successful opening cheered its audience! At the back of the store, we were invited to dine in and share the delectable new taste in metro of the pies! How I wish I can share some with you! My favorite is the Cheesy Pepperoni which caught my taste buds although upon interview of some people they loved beefy mushroom and tuna lasagna, different preferences, right? But how about  you? Next time you’ll get to pass thru their store at Manila try out this new taste, it’s worth the try! TIP from Mr. TED It’s easy to store the Massive Munchies, just place in the freezer and when you’d like to have a bite, just toss in the oven for 250c and its done! So easy and quick on the go, especially me who’s always on the go! All of us were given the Freebies including the Massive Munchies Tshirt, Thank you very much Massive Munchies and Ms. Grace! I sneaked peeked on their cute cook to see how they do their final preparation of the pies.
