Want to restore a 40-year-old decoration to its former glory? Try these simple, safe cleaning tricks that won’t damage the finish.

Have you ever seen a decoration your parents kept, carrying it with them from another country or a previous marriage? Carmina realized that parents often hold onto items they've purchased in the past. While browsing Greenhill's shopping center, she stepped into  Mystic Gems by Bensani and saw so many nostalgic items that reminded her of growing up.  I pointed out to Mom Violy that she had a similar crystal tree decoration at home. She said it was forty years old and already dirty. The saleslady explained it could be cleaned easily with soap and water. Carmina decided to take Mom Violy home and bring the crystal tree decoration with her. Mom Violy questioned why she was taking it, and I said I would clean it and return it.  I noticed Mom Violy had placed planting seeds inside the decoration, for reasons I didn’t understand. Before cleaning it, I checked online to see what was needed, knowing its value. I placed a towel underneath, prepared a plastic container with dishwas...

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.
