Spa day

Tuesday, May 9th, 2006

Today was heavenly! I did a couple of errands early afternoon then asked my cousin if he wanted to go to a spa since we were talking about it last night. He agreed since it’s been a long time since he’s been to one. He picked me up around 4 pm then we headed to The Spa in Libis. After buying massage gift certificates for our moms (it’s mother’s day this 14th), we opted for the Coffee Rub package. That includes ground coffee bean body scrub, Swedish massage, and use of the sauna, steam room, and the hot and cold lap pools. I think the whole thing lasted for 2.5 hours and eventhough it was quite pricey, it was worth it. And hey, my shrink even suggested that I treat myself to a spa so this is justified! It was my first time in the place and I really loved the wet area and the massage room. After pampering ourselves, we had dinner at Chili’s (or is it Chilis?) and my cousin’s friend Mike followed us there. We ate a lot but that’s not surprising.

Up to now I still smell like coffee. Smells good but a bit weird. Here are some pictures of The Spa which I took with my camera phone.

Greecian statue although the whole spa’s supposed to be Thai-inspired. Still looks nice though.
