Hi leyn musta musta?

nakikita kita sa YM na online pero madaling araw. ndi na kita minemessage dahil parang nananaginip pa rin ako nun tuwing ioopen ko ang YM sa cellphone ko. ANW, natawa ako dun sa new entry mo tungkol sa mga masahista. parang nakakatakot naman yung mga picture. naalala ko nang mabasa ko to sayo na magtatanong pala ako ng mga magaganda at affordable na SPA na pedeng puntahan.

Hindi para sa akin, para sa parents ko. Naisip ko since malapi tna ang 24th year anniversary nila this December, bakit hindi na lang yun ang iregalo ko sa kanila sa anniv at sa pasko na rin. hahaha (kuripot mode).

San ba yung mga affordable pero hindi naman tulad ng nifeature mo sa blog mo ha na mga spa. kahit simpleng massage lang siguro.

Maraming Salamats,
Popoy I.

Dear Popoy I.,

Aloha! Maraming salamat sa pagiging isa sa mga suki ng Inbox ko. Na-appreciate ko at kay Sosyalera ka nagtanong knowing na napaka-undetailed ko sumagot. Haha. Anyway, hindi ako magmamagaling dahil hindi ko naman alam ang lahat ng spa sa buong Pilipinas.

For the benefit of all, I’ll be mentioning 3 Spas to represent low-priced, reasonable and luxurious way of pampering. If you are on a tight budget, why not try the Big Apple Express Spa. You get to have a whole body massage for only 299 pesos.

Pros: Inexpensive and easily located. The franchises are usually inside the malls. I know one branch operating in Gateway Cubao near the LRT 2 station. You won’t get intimidated coming in since the place is just like a commercial facial center.

Cons: Since it’s called, the “Express” spa, don’t expect royalty treatment. Everyone pays the same price as yours. Once you get the short therapy then your hour is over. Also, the room is not that private because you’ll have the massage together with other customers.

For weekend people who really intend for a wellness experience, they can visit the Wensha Spa in Manila CCP area. Their foot and body spa package rates 800 pesos only – including food, drinks and access to their pools, sauna and shower room.

Pros: Aside from the consumable spa package, customers will be given assigned lockers during the time of their stay. The ambiance is relaxing and fair enough for the few bucks paid.

Cons: I’m not sure if couples are allowed to be at the same room while the treatment is on-going. Rooms are separate for males and females. Also, if you live somewhere in the east side, then you’ll have a long way to travel just to get there. I heard Wensha also have a branch in Timog QC but not as good as what they have in Manila.

Privileged and spa addicts of course prefer to spoil their bodies in sumptuous places. If you’re one of them, prepare at least 6,500 pesos for a Chinese inspired therapy at the Chi Spa in EDSA Shangrila Ortigas.

Pros: The types of scrubs and oils that will be used are examined first depending on the customer’s preferences. They cater quality and imported products plus spacious and calm exclusive room for privacy. You will not just experience simple massage but cleansing, bathing and detoxifying procedures. Given that you paid for a high-priced spa, you won’t feel rushed at all.

Cons: Expensive.

Enough of that, I’m not even paid. In case you’re planning to treat your parents elsewhere, siguraduhin mo lang na wholesome ang spa na ‘yon. Nakakahiya naman kung mga mala-Maskuladong Masahista ang sasalubong sa inyo. But you know what, you have a brilliant idea in treating your parents para naman something new ang iyong gift. You still have time to research though. Advanced Happy 24th Anniversary kina Tito at Tita! ;P

Love Lots,

Leyn
