Local and foreign visitors love coming back to the Philippines due to the famous sceneries and the warm, hospitable Filipinos. This holds true during the summer. What if they come during the rainy season? There's nothing to worry about because there is still a lot to enjoy while staying in the Philippines.

Whether you are staying in the city or in the provinces, you will notice that there are shopping malls in the area. Nowadays, malls are like mushrooms - they keep coming out and their number is growing. It is one indication that Filipinos have grown fond of going to malls especially during the weekends. Shopping malls are often filled with people anytime, summer or rainy season. However, malls are even busier during the wet season because visitors prefer to go shopping than get wet through the rain.

Mall hopping is what most visitors love doing since they can choose from a wide range of boutiques, restaurants and movie houses. In Metro Manila, one gets fascinated by the huge malls with great offerings. While waiting for the heavy rain to stop, you can visit any of the spa centers and enjoy a body scrub or a full body massage. There are also fitness centers where you can let out your toxins through group exercises and weight lifting.

Hair Styles in the Philippines

-
by: JC Bulan In the Philippines, when it rains, it really pours.  Now if you want to keep on looking great with your hair firmly in tact then take note of the following tips. Filipinas like their hair to be classy but not too flashy.  An excellent style for the long-haired gals is the Gibson tuck.  You’ll need a hair tie and pins for this one.  Put your hair up in a ponytail.  Just above the hair tie, part your hair into roughly two equal parts using your finger.  Next, twist your ponytail and insert it into the gap and tuck it inside along with the hair tie.  Wrap your hair up tight and secure the top of the tuck with hair pins.  You might also want to use a hairspray for the finishing touches.  Also it would look more elegant by pulling a few strands of hair for each side of your face. You can do a lot with braids.  One simple style is the high braided bun.  You can create this by first tying your hair in a high pony tail, then section it into three parts.  Get the leftmost part and
