It’s one those rare luxuries that I get to indulge in. The last time I went to a spa facility was about three years ago with Josef and Jovy somewhere in Quezon City.
They discovered this spa place while they were walking Oreo in our neighborhood. The rates are quite reasonable so off we went there after dinner. It’s just a few meters away from the house.
Whole body massage, just great. Loosening muscles and tendons that allow good blood circulation. An hour of this makes you sleepy considering the air-conditioned room and the soft music playing.And yes, I had a good sleep last night, waking up just in time to attend the 6 am mass.
We brought Oreo along and he played with the owner of the facility. He just kept quiet when he was able to kiss the cheeks of Ate. He gets to walk with the two every night when they come home from work. It is impractical to bring him outside during the day because of the so many cars and motorcycles that pass by our place.
There is this newly opened gym in the next street from ours and Josef said they are offering reduced rates for a start. Sometimes I wonder, it is hard enough for me to lift those dumbbells which Nissa left here when she got married. There is even this Orbitrek machine that we bought several years ago and is now relegated near our dirty kitchen, unused. I know, I know, we need to exercise. I guess gardening and doing those household chores are exercise enough. Don’t ask me, I am getting old. Sometimes even my left knee gives me a little pain and it is hard to walk.
Maybe one of these days, I’ll go back to the spa saloon just for a back massage which is cheaper.
Ahhh! A full body massage! I had one in Bali a few years ago. It was wonderful and very affordable. We paid about $3.00 per person. Here in the States you often pay more than that for a cup of coffee. How nice to have that place so close by!

It is a little expensive here Sabine. One hour is P250.00. But considering the cost of everything now, it is okay.

I have never had a massage, but people always say how relaxing it is. I can’t lift too heavy weights now I am older, so walking with Ollie is my exercise now.
Best wishes, Pete.

Try it Pete, you may like it too. You can tell them to go light on kneading your muscles or pressure points. And I agree, it is so relaxing.

Gardening is nature’s gym. Perhaps I should have understood the years ago

I do agree Derrick that is why even if I only have a small garden, I try to plant more and maintain it regularly.
