Dive into a seafood spectacle — see the lobster up close and celebrate James & Carmina’s birthdays at Fresh International, Solaire Resort.

While traveling around the world, the family visited the Philippines and decided to combine a double birthday dinner with James. In our chat group, we discussed which restaurants we’d like to dine at, and Mom Violy has been eager to try the all-you-can-eat lobster her best friend recommended at Solaire. Carmina took charge of making the reservation through Solaire's Resort  website and asked the family which seating time they preferred, choosing between two options with different time frames. Carmina registered it under Mom Violy's name and phone number. She received an email for our confirmation, and a week beforehand, a reminder was sent to Mom Violy's mobile to confirm if we were going ahead or not. Carmina replied to the SMS since Mom Violy wasn’t sure how to do it. We were told to arrive fifteen minutes before our scheduled entry time, which was 5:30 p.m. on February 12, 2026. When we arrived, we were informed we couldn’t enter the dining area until exactly 5:30 p.m...

Carmina's Experience from CZERA Hilot Massage in 999 Shopping Mall

Last year, Carmina went to Divisoria with Mom Violy, and during that time, Sonny mentioned to me that he had a hilot. The lady who massages him is really skilled, and her services are reasonably priced.

Carmina decided to give it a try. Sonny brought me to the second floor of 999 shopping mall in Binondo, Manila, Philippines.

Sonny teased the lady, saying Carmina only spoke English. The lady responded to me in English, but I kept telling her I understood Tagalog and could speak it as well.

The lady informed me not to drink anything cold for the meantime, saying I had cold air in my body from the air conditioning.

Carmina was thrilled when Mom Violy told her she wanted to visit 999 shopping mall. I let her know I planned to get another hilot.

The person who did the hilot last time wasn’t there, but it was fine since all the employees knew how to massage.

The boss was there, listening to our conversation. Unfortunately, they don’t offer home service, only at their facility.

I got to interview them and asked how long they’d been at 999 shopping malls. They said they had been located in Tutuban in the food court a long time ago, but when someone opened a similar business, they moved to 999 shopping malls.

The person who massaged me said the room was still full. She asked me to sit down and remove any jewelry from my hands and arms. While waiting for a vacant room, she started massaging my hands and arms outside.

There were other people getting massages as well.

Before sitting on the chair, they sterilized it and then asked me to remove my shirt. My massage was only for the upper body since I wanted to focus on that area. She asked me to put my head in the hole, and I kept my face mask on the entire time.

The person massaging me checked how I was feeling to make sure the pressure wasn’t too hard.

Later, she applied hot suction cups all over my shoulders and back. I’m not sure how many there were, but it seemed like a lot to help remove the cold air from my body.

It wasn’t painful, just a bit surprising to hear the suction on my back and to have so many in place at once.
