Last Friday night was rather a sad moment for us. Can’t help but miss our brother. Kuya and the girlfriend went to the rescue since everybody seemed to be down and low in spirits. So, off we went to Body and Sole for a full body massage but we were not accommodated because it was full. We then transferred to Touch and Heal and to some spa parlor near Pearlmont but it was also full. But of course we did not easily give up so we went to some streets in Divisoria or wherever in green earth it was located and found ourselves in a Thai massage parlor. Since we were already tired and all, we settled for it and got ourselves a full body massage which I really don’t like at all. Kuya and the girlfriend went blocks away to find another one since only three persons were accommodated in the TMP and eventually they ended up in a Blind Massage parlor.
I really don’t like the ambience in that Thai massage parlor. It was not what I expected it to be. Even my masseuse was not that good, she was kneading my full back like a hard rock object or a hardened dough and she kept on talking with the other masseuse about her full day’s work and salary without even asking me if the pressure is bearable or what. . Arggh!! Puhleaasee I need some relaxation here!
I mean I know traditional Thai massage is really that painful, there’s a lot of stretching and spine cracking(hehehe) but I reckon what they did in that parlor was not the proper way. Or perhaps they had it modified?!? I really don’t know. And for the love of ghost, they’re very noisy!
What I know is that traditional Thai massage centers on the pressure points; there will be lot of stretching and yes it could be that painful but you’ll get used to it after awhile. If that masseuse was properly trained in a traditional Thai massage, she would have checked the pressure first in my femoral arteries both sides for roughly 20-30 seconds and if it’s done in a proper way, I should have felt my arteries pumping against the masseuse’s wrist. It should start from the legs, then the arms and the last and most pleasurable part of the massage will be on the back and neck.
I am not really sure. Maybe they had it modified. Whatever. But the massage on the arms and legs felt really good though.
Saturday class? Oh well, t’was good. I especially learned a lot from Rey’s report re: Transactional Analysis. And my classmate brought the Princess Dubai diet snacks and everyone tried it. Did I mention before about the Abu Dhabi diet recipe? Hrmmm…. Ma’am Darlene, my classmate and owner of Saint Paul’s learning center is inviting us to her place on Monday for the Self-Exploration Process(SEP) but I am not sure if I’ll attend the session.
And yeah, I wasn’t able to report. Too bad! I just want it to be over and done with.
