Magazines

Because my friends and other people I know cannot stand my haircut anymore, I decided to visit a salon near our place and have my new haircut. The place is fine. There's a home-y feeling, the people are friendly and its services are way way cheaper compared to mainstream salons.

Before

After

I used to patronize Bench's Fix Salon services but it turned out to be not good. It's just a hype! You don't get the service that you deserve even if it's costly than most other salons. I find it difficult to patronize a salon where people are just too tired to give you a good service or even a friendly smile. If not for the magazines, i'd rather have my hair be cut by my mom. Not serious.

This salon that I visited serves fast. As if it's a food. And you will not be bored because of the television set. But even if they're fast, I still have to wait for my mom because girls loves to overdo it. You know how girls manages to overdo everything (from cooking up to dressing up). I tried not to be bored. Magazines rescued me from the boring trip.

After reading two magazines, I realized that i'm not reading magazines recently. I used to read magazines. I used to buy magazines. I used to borrow magazines. I forgot why I chose not to read magazines anymore. Maybe it's because of the lack of time or it's costly.

Not interested in Wine and Martha though

So, this year, I think I should start reading magazines again. The articles are entertaining and sometimes, helpful too. You just have to pick the right magazine for you. Match it with your interests, hobbies or even with your frustrations. Find a magazine that you can relate to and can be helpful in the things that you do.

I've been reading Bluprint last year. It's an architecture and interior design resource by a Philippine media company. It's refreshing to see well-designed houses and sometimes inspiring too. But sometimes the thin line between inspiring and intimidating suddenly cease to exist. It's available for just one hundred and fifty bucks.

Bluprint Spread

Can you recommend a good magazine for me? I'll be checking the magazine stand and start reading again. Online magazines are welcome.

The List

No Gravatar

I know Santa is not real, but I know my friends and relatives are altruistic enough at this time of the year to buy me  a gift. Yes, this is the right day to post a Holiday (that includes Christmas and New Year/ My Awesome Birthday) Wishlist. Tomorrow will be my barkada's pseudo-party, or maybe it will happen today. Yes, we're all like that. And Christmas is so near, i think my aunts and uncles are reading my blog, hey guys! :D Friends and relatives, here are my wants.

Green Christmas!

Don't worry guys. These are just simple things. I know we're all in a tight budget this year because of the Global financial crisis done by the ever failing United States of America kaya the things here are all simple and, ahm, cheap.

BOOK/s. Something that is about politics, history, religion, or, ahm, well, something cheesy will also do. You guys know what I mean by religion. Please, don't give me a Meyer.

MEDIUM GREEN SHIRT/s. Green is my favorite color! I want a closet full of cool green shirts. Any brand will do! :D

PERFUME. Need I say more? I like Hugo Boss and BVLGARI but they're expensive. So, any perfume will do.

CD FOR A GLEEK. Yes, i'm a gleek. A CD. Not downloaded songs stocked in a flash drive or anything. A CD. All you need is effort.

PENSHOPPE's Stand UP For Rights Shirt. Because it looks like a UP shirt and it's speaking about standing up for our rights. But if you can find a SERVE the PEOPLE shirt that would also be fine.

LASALLE/UP Shirt. Yes, a fan of both universities. DILIMAN REPUBLIC is awesome.

CHRISTMAS CARD. Green Christmas card, FTW! :D

BLUPRINT MAGAZINE. You know it too guys. I'm an architect (?). Old issues will do. Will love them if it's new!

That's all for this year's holiday season. I hope my wants will all be given as gifts by my friends and relatives! But if you think that it's really the thought that counts, don't bother to give anything, just say, hi, you look awesome! That will be fine. At least you're not affected by the consumerism virus. :D

Enjoy the vacation! Happy Holidays!
