Nuat Thai Tomas Morato: Make Your Own Spa Experiece Promo Package

I've been so busy with school and all my free time is spent on our eat outs.  But, sometimes its good to pamper a bit.  So one weekend, our group decided to pay Nuat Thai Tomas Morato a visit.  We usually go out for some eats but that day was special it was eats then pamper. =D

Nuat Thai Tomas Morato is located at the corner of Scout Limbaga and Tomas Morato just beside Congo Grille.  It was also opposite Cerchio Grill & Lounge.  Although the signage is located at the lower level, the spa occupies two floors to cater to their clients demands.

 

Since the first floor was full of clients, we were only able to view the second floor.  It looked clean, elegant and cozy like a luxurious spa.  We were told that celebrities frequent there too.  As we glanced on their price list, we found out that they had a wide range of services for an affordable price.

The boys were easy to please.  They wanted an aromatherapy massage and that's it.  But for us ladies, we wanted to avail a lot more.  Studying all day has made my back ache so I wanted to enjoy a full body massage.  I also want a body scrub.  I intended to get some natural scrub by the beach last summer but Kurt and I couldn't fit it on our schedule.  My girl friends also want to avail of a variety of services.  We were all having a hard time deciding when they told us that they have a "Make Your Own Spa Experience" promo package.

We were all delighted because for 700 php or 1,150 php, we could already avail of three different services.  We've been to other spas before and for an ambiance offered especially the partitioning of the rooms, it usually costs a thousand for a body massage alone.

To aid our decision, they had this little bottles were we could sample the smell of their scrubs.  After a few minutes, we told them our options.

I chose the following package: (1,150 php - That's 150 php savings!)

• Asian Espresso Detox Body Ritual (600 php)
• 1 Hour Swedish Massage (350 php)
• Asian Espresso Detoxifying Foot Paraffin (350 php)

On the other hand, Berylle availed of a somewhat similar package: (1,150 php - That's 190 php savings!)

• Royal Contour Body Ritual (650 php) 
• 1 Hour Swedish Massage (350 php)
• Orly Manicure and Pedicure (340 php)

My friend Sumi availed a different package:  (700 php - That's 80 php savings!)

• Pomegrate Dead Sea Salt Foot Ritual (300 php)
• 1 Hour Thai Foot Massage (250 php)
• Kleancolor Manicure and Pedicure (230 pp)

After a few minutes, we were individually escorted to our own rooms where our pampering session awaits us.  We entered into the stoney steps passing by several partitioned rooms.  

 

Some of the rooms have the flat bed for Thai massages which requires a lot of stretching.  While the other rooms have Swedish beds for the Swedish massage and body scrubs.  They also have rooms with salon chairs and lazy boy chairs for their hand, foot and nail services. 

Kurt was taken to a room with a flat bed for his Aroma Therapy Massage.  On the other hand, Berylle and I were taken to a room with plastic covered Swedish bed for our Body Scrub.

Aroma Therapy Massage (550 php)
The  Aroma Therapy Massage is a 1 hour and 30 min massagewith a mix of both Swedish Massage and Shiatsu. At the very end , a warm aromatic bean bag back massage was performed that soothed both the body as well as the mind. 

Asian Espresso Detox Body Ritual Kit

Asian Espresso Detox Body Ritual
My therapist named Siaska was very courteous.  She asked me if the temperature of the wet towel was okay with me and I affirmed.  Then, she applied some pressure and asked if that was also good with me and I likewise agreed.  As she proceeded, I found myself relaxed in a half nap as I floated away with the calming instrumental music resting my body over the soft bedding.  She first applied the cleanser gently and then the body scrub which was brushed all over my body.   Then, my entire body was moisturized and coated with a mask.  I was then wrapped and rolled for 20 mins.  Now I know what a sushi feels like... It was kind of comforting. =p

After my detox, I was led to the shower area where I washed the white mask off my skin and prepared for my Swedish massage.

1 Hour Swedish Massage
The same therapist performed my Swedish Massage.  This time, I found myself asleep except for the part where I felt some bone crunching.  After our massage, I was asked if I wanted some juice or tea and I chose the latter.

Asian Espresso Detoxifying Foot Paraffin 
After getting dressed, I was led to a room where the lazy boy chairs were for my foot paraffin.  This was my first time to try it.  My foot theraphist Len gently massaged my foot and dipped some part of it into a wet liquid to ask if the temperature was okay.  As I gave her the go signal, she continue to dip it into the clear  substance which I soon found out was the paraffin wax as my foot turned white with its coating.

Now this scenario looked familiar to me... Ever watched "Wanted" where Angelina Jolie would dip her whole body in the wax wherever she was wounded?  I never understood the reason for it until I researched using Nuat Thai Tomas Morato's FREE wifi about it while detoxifying. =D  It turns out that the paraffin treatment can help ease tense muscle and tissues making them heal faster and become softer.  It has been used since ancient Roman times too.

My feet was then plastic wrapped and clothed into a foot mitten.  And, it was left like so for about 20 minutes.

When Len came back, she removed the plastic and the paraffin wax from my foot as if it was a sock.  It was removed in one piece without any residue.

I couldn't believe how soft my feet was.  It felt like baby skin. It was so smooth and silky.  My feet also felt relieved free from all the walking and shoe pains.

As soon as I was finished, I checked out how my friend Berylle was doing and I suddenly envied her for her manicure.  It was beautifully done.

Movie Review: The Dark Knight Rises

There was a lot of expectation with the "The Dark Knight Rises" and it did not disappoint.  It is in-depth and lengthy with a brilliant plot.  Director Christoper Nolan has done a great job indeed.  

Christian Bale taking the leading role as Bruce Wayne as good as it has always been.  Every cast was spectacular in their role especially Anne Hathaway who played as Selina.  

The plot brings reference to the prior movies "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight".  Somehow it related more on the first movie though.  Nevertheless, I was on the edge of my sit as the story unfolds.

I'd say the story, casting and effects was superb in this one and it is certainly a must watch!  It also gave a hint on the next sequel.  =D

Watch The Dark Knight Rises!

Suplado Tips by Stanley Chi

Everyone has their own different interpretation of being sexy. As some people think that being nice, having a great body and looks, being smart could show off their sexiness but for this book this is certainly not the case. After carefully reading it, I was enlightened but in a different way.  

Though the book shouldn't be taken literally as some people might assume. Stanley Chi's Suplado Tips (How  to be a snob) is a good read and is quite humorous in its own way. The jokes are simple enough and some of them are applicable in real life plainly because it shows how some of our wise crack comments could be more hurtful rather than amusing. 

Personal understanding :
Most of us could translate the jokes in our own weird way but for me the jokes were more of a lesson. I actually saw what I used to do to my friends and how a joke I made could actually mean a different thing. Sometimes answering a stupid question could be quite irritating but answering it as a jerk doesn't help anyone. Sometimes the easiest questions could be answered in the simplest way and yet most of the time we try to complicate ourselves by answering it in the most unethical way possible.

Has America Got It Right With Private Healthcare?

With UK prescription costs rising, it's not surprising more and more people are questioning the value of a system that may lead people to ration or stop their medication altogether. In comparison to the UK's system of 'free' healthcare is the US system, in which medical care is private and paid for through private insurers.

The America Way

This approach to medical care has many possible advantages, with different companies providing a range of health facilities and health insurance. Competition between these companies drives fees down and gives a greater choice to those that may need different types of care.

The US spends a great deal on providing a range of programmes to ensure the public are looked after. The Medicaid program, for example, is state funded and was put in place for those that have little money and fewer opportunities to pay for their health care.

Of course, this type of government-led system is not for all and private health care is the most common option. If employers can't or choose not to offer health insurance as part of a contract, then it is down to the individual to ensure they are covered.

In some cases, an individual may choose to save money and not invest in reliable or fully comprehensive insurance. Or they may choose not to have health insurance at all. This leaves the nurses and doctors who treat such people with the inevitable problem of sorting out who pays the bills and if and when they should be treated.

So nursing jobs are not only concerned with the health and well-being of a patient, but the moral decisions involved in whether to withhold treatment. Those employed in the medical system, from doctors to those working in healthcare assistant jobs, are all affected, with the consequences of such decisions felt by the friends and relatives of those refused care.

The NHS

In the UK all citizens are entitled to free health care and hospital treatment. The NHS is there to ensure that no one is at a disadvantage, no matter how rich or poor or whatever age they are.

Of course, this promise of 'free' care is not always so clear cut. When the government pays for a system that provides medical care, the authorities make the choice about when people can see a doctor and when a procedure can be performed.

This system has now become over-stretched and there are too few professionals and not enough money to cope with the number of people requiring assistance. Waiting lists get steadily longer.

Those in the UK may be spared the denial of medical treatment from profit-focused private companies, but they are faced with overcrowded hospitals, waiting lists and a service that can't provide operations when they are often most required.

Those that wait in hope for the privatisation of the NHS may look to the US for guidance, thinking that it has got it right with its private-healthcare system. However, it is worth remembering that although America spends more on healthcare that any other nation, it still cannot find ways to provide everyone with the appropriate medical treatment.

The UK and US health-care systems may well have their failings, but to seek a solution based solely on one option or the other seems simplistic. Perhaps a better balance of public and private health care is really the only way forward.
