[Spa Review] 4U SPA

Just last Sunday, my awesome bunsu-bunsuan and myself decided to look for a place to have our footspa. We roamed around the vicinity of Shaw Boulevard.

But instead of finding a footspa place, we came across a Spa called 4U Spa.

"Hi Good evening po," said the kind receptionist.

The place is kinda eerie and reminded me of the movie "Hostel" because of the dim lights and the mixing of dark orange and pale blue lighting.

I immediately looked at the service list and to my surprise, the price of 1 HR massage is only for P300. Great! I told myself. This is a lot cheaper than the usual spa so I will be availing an hour and a half.

"May CR ba kayo?" I asked the receptionist. He quickly pointed at the door straight where you will be passing through the array of curtain-covered cubicles. I also noticed that there are pictures of topless guys at the reception board - they are the masseurs. I didn't really pay attention to this and headed to the CR. 

Soon as I got out, there is a tall guy wearing black sando and jagger pants who escorted me to my massage cubicle. There was a big plastic box on top of the massage bed where I can safekeep my belongings. Wow!

While I was undressing, my masseur came inside the cubicle bringing a lukewarm footsoak and asked me to wash my feet. Again, this is another Wow! He left afterwards.

With only my underwear on, I laid down on the massage bed. I think I waited for 5 minutes before my masseur came in.

"Hard kayo sir?" he asked.

"Ha? Anong hard ako?" I reacted.

"Yung massage nyo po sir, soft, moderate o hard?" He continued.

"Ah! Hard sige. Masakit likod ko." I replied.

He started his routine. Because of the pictures I saw at the reception, I can't help but expect that there is something naughty that will happen in this massage. Or maybe I am mistaken? He completed my back massage without any hit of him trying to arouse me.

Then he asked my to turn about. At this point, I was curious to ask his name.

"Anung pangalan mo nga?" I asked.

"Jake po." He responded.

"Pang ilan nyo na po ito dito?" He continued.

'First time ko, nadaan lang kami dito. Naghahanap dapat kami ng pag footspa-han pero wala kaya nagpamassage na lang." I answered.

To my surprise, Jake went above me and he squeezed my chest rather tighter than usual. His strokes became somewhat sensual. After a few sensual strokes on my chest and abdomen, he went on to proceed with massaging my hands.

There were several negotiations after that if you know what I mean... All in all, the service deserved a tip of 700 pesos because I really enjoyed.

Over-all, the massage is good although it's mostly shiatsu, very minimal strokes but at that time, I need shiatsu more than swedish or thai so I was relieved after the massage.

On my way out, the receptionist gave me a VIP card that offers discounts each time I visit. My therapist, Jake, was also very polite to escort me outside and tell me to comeback.

Next time, I am trying Mark. :)

BAKIT NGA BA WALANG FOREVER SA BI/GAY COUPLE?

1. WE ARE IN A TECHNOLOGICAL AGE, where everything is instant. Instant noodles, instant coffee, instant boyfie, instant break-up. Sabi nga ng sulit: Hanap. Usap. Deal. Ganun kabilis magkajowa ngayon. Unless we go back to the basics, we are not destined to meet "Forever."

2. BLAME IT TO SOCIAL MEDIA because Social Media is the number 1 culprit on making everyone realize they have a wide social circle. Only in social media can you call someone "friend" without even meeting him, or probably "like" something without really experiencing it. Social Media tells us there are a lot of options and we won't run out... ayun, naniniwala naman tayo sa social media.

3. TOO MUCH WATCHING OF TELESERYE often leads us to believe that there is an ideal love story. Then we tend to compare our love story to the one in TV. Pag narealize natin na di siya pareho, magdedemand tayo sa partner natin ng kagaya ng nakikita natin. Patay! Si partner, di kaya yun. Then you break up. Ayun wala na naman si "Forever."

4. WE TAKE THE HEAT from peer pressure. Guilty? Hinde? Weh? When your peers tell you you deserve someone better, at first dedepensahan mo pa pero habang tumatagal, you subscribe to the "alam mo pare tama ka" group. Our peers can be demanding and degrading but always remember, ikaw ang nakikipagrelasyon, di sila.

5. LGBT PEOPLE ARE NOT BOUND BY SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES to get married and raise a reputable family. Unlike heterosexual couples where society would disgust a married for having an affair with another woman or when a couple splits up at walang kinilalang ama or ina ang mga anak. Sa case natin, walang ganung social responsibility and pressure. So ayos lang magka affair sa iba or maghiwalay... Society does not treat it as immoral.

6. IT'S BECAUSE WE CHOOSE TO LOOK AT WHAT'S WRONG AND NOT WHAT'S RIGHT. Learning to say the words: "Nagkamali ako," "Sorry," and the like, mas gusto pa natin sinasabi na "E ikaw nagsimula di ba?" or "Kasi dapat ganito." The perfect and bossy type in all of us kicks in during the heat of the argument, patay! Lalo nating pinatay si "Forever."

7. BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP IS A LUCRATIVE BUSINESS. Totoo! May mga taong pinagkakakitaan ang pakikipagrelasyon. Imagine, find a rich guy that you dont love, as long as he has the greens, a house and a car, why would you need love when you have everything? Then when you find someone with more greens, two houses, three cars, move over to him and leave poor Mr. Number 1. Repeat until you get guilty and karma's payback time.

8. PEOPLE GET CONFUSED BETWEEN LONELINESS AND LOVE. So broken-hearted ka, then someone approached you, sabi sayo "eto panyo." Ikaw naman kinilig. Naging assuming ka. Kala mo in love ka na sa kanya but in reality, it's not love. It was just a fulfillment of your loneliness. Then pag narealize mong di love, hihiwalayan mo and the poor guy undergoes the same cycle that you just went through.

9. WE TEND TO SHORTEN TIME SO MUCH. May monthsary, may weeksary, may daysary pa nga eh. But think about this, the reason why these words did not exist in the dictionary is because we should not have celebrated them at all. Lets not count days, weeks, months. Let's count memories and keep building them.

10. LASTLY, IT IS ALWAYS HIS FAULT AND NEVER MY FAULT. Sad but true. Relationships nowadays lack humility. Wala ng gustong magpakumbaba. Palaging siya ang may kasalanan. It doesn't hurt to accept our mistakes and atone for them. It also helps kung paminsan minsan liligawan at pasasagutin natin ulit ang partner natin to help reset the romance in the relationship.

[Spa Review] BLUE ROOM SPA

 It's a day before my birthday so I decided to do something different and exciting. I stood up from my bed around 3pm headed for Blue Room Spa in Libertad, Pasay.

I've read several social media posts about this spa and I was eager to try it. I arrived at the venue around 5:30pm. There was no one at the reception so I decided to grab something to eat first. I returned around 6:08pm and there was this young lady at the reception.

"Hi Sir, anu pong services i-avail nyo?"

I hurriedly looked at the services list and pointed at the "For HIM Package."

"Eto, eto yung a-avail ko. Male therapist ah?" I Said.

"Sige, sir. Ayos lang bang maghintay kayo ng 20 minutes kasi dalawa lang ang male therapist namin today?" she said.

"Ayos lang sige. Can you replace the hair spa with footspa instead? Semi kalbo ako so walang point na magpa-hairspa di ba?" I exclaimed.

She politely agreed and went inside one of the cubicles. 

A few minutes later, a guy came down the stairs. He is wearing a black jersey shorts and a brown sando. On his shoulders is a body bag. He is about 5'5" in height, normal looks, moreno and an average body. He's probably around 25 years old. I was thinking he is one of the customers but Lo! and behold, he started asking me some questions.

"For Him Package Po Ba?"

"Oo sana."

"Sorry sir, wala po kaming Footspa, tsaka Face Mask."

"Ganun? Edi lugi ako nun?"

Then he grabbed the services list and placed it near me. He recommended that I try the "Pure Seduction Package."

I went a little curious and said, How about the Pure Temptation Package?

He then nodded and invited me to come with him at the 3rd floor. There were 2 cubicles at the 3rd floor. We used the further cubicle. As normal spa therapist would do, he asked me to take off my clothes. I would normally leave my underwear on or wear the prescribed boxer but in this case, I opted for the former since there is no available boxer brief.

"Sir, okay na?"

"Oo okay na," I said.

When inside, he took notice that I am wearing an underwear. He proactively said we need to remove it since he will have to scrub me and that he did not want my underwear to get messy. While I was hesitant, I finally agreed and took off my underwear. Now I am lying pure naked on the spa bed.

He started my body scrub. I could smell the good scent of green tea with the scrub solution he was using. It felt cold but he was scrubbing my back really good that I could feel my dead skin cells departing from my body. When he started scrubbing my legs, I noticed that he kept on hitting that part in between my legs. It felt awkward but it easily made me feel aroused. 

After some 15 minutes of scrubbing, he asked me to put on a towel and he escorted me to the shower room. The shower room is not that nice. It did not have any hot water nor clothes or towel hangers. I turned the shower on but to my surprise, he went inside and removed his shirt.

"Ako na po sir ang magbabanlaw sa inyo." He said.

He then asked me to face back and he started cleaning the scrub solution in my body. It was purely professional. He did not attempt to offer anything on the borderline. He even cleaned my genitals with his own hands despite me volunteering to do it. 

"Ano nga pala pangalan mo," I asked.

"Nico po sir." He replied.

After washing, we went back to the cubicle. He started the usual massage. Knowing that this is a "Pure Temptation Massage," I was expecting that something naughty will happen. I was right, the whole time, he was trying his best to hit my "G-spots" (kahit wala) and checks from time to time if I am having an erection. After a handful of massage strokes, the placed a damp cloth on my back. He sprayed it with denatured alcohol and lit it.

"Anu yan?" I asked. 

"Hot wrap sir. Pantanggal ng mga lamig." He said.

I was curious and scared at the same time. Baka kasi mapaso ako at magkapeklat sa likod. The Hot Wrap did its job. It relieved me of some aching spots at my back. Afterwards, he grabbed some glasses and performed ventosa. It was a heavenly feeling. It was actually the first time that I tried actual ventosa with flames. The usual ones are the vacuum type ventosa. 

Now this is where the exciting part comes in...

"Sir, sensual na po tayo..." He whispered.

Then he took off his sando and his shorts. At this point, he was wearing a skimpy boxer shorts. Then the rest is history. All I know is I can feel his chin going through my entire body and his hands caressing me. The entire sensual session lasted for 30 minutes.

After the massage, he said, "Sir, ang mahal naman ng inavail nyo na package."

I replied, "Ah kasi birthday ko bukas so I need pampering."

"Nasarapan ka ba sa massage ko, sir?" He asked.

"Yes, Nico. You did a wonderful job!" 

Then I grabbed my bag and handed him a yellow tip. 

"Eto oh!" I said.

"Salamat, sir. Jan ka lang, kuha kita ng hot towel ha?" He exclaimed.

He returned with a hot towel and wiped away all the massage oil left in my body. Then I dressed up and he escorted me downstairs. He also politely opened the door and bid farewell saying, "Balik ka po sir."

SECRETS OF A HAPPY GAY/BI RELATIONSHIP

Over the years, I've been through a lot of failed relationships. There are a handful of lessons I've learned that I thought would be helpful in making every relationship happy.

1. SAY WORDS OF APPRECIATION. Not all couple do this anymore when your relationship progress. They seldom say "thank you," "I enjoyed it," "that was great," and the like. Kadalasan kasi, pag tumatagal ang relationship, nagiging "matic" na ang mga words na ito. We subconsciously think that it's our partner's responsibility to make us happy. Say these words often. Make him feel that you appreciate small deeds. Yung sinundo ka nya, hinawakan sya kamay mo, pinagdala ng food - those small acts deserve words of appreciation.

2. DON'T JUST HAVE SEX, MAKE LOVE. Most couple are driven by lustful desire towards their partner. The ending? They get laid, undress and have sex. Making love is different. Making love is all about a romantic foreplay, good conversations while doing it, saying you love him sincerely, avoiding curse-pleasure words, enjoying it both and not being in a hurry to clean up after making out.

3. DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY TOGETHER. There's always a first time for everything and what other better way to do first time stuff with the one you love? Not only that you build memories together, you build experience. Travel somewhere, try extreme activities, eat exotic food. But it's important to remind him all throughout that while the experience is good, it becomes better because you are doing it together.

4. YOU ARE YOU, HE IS HIM. Don't take away his "me time" and your "you time." most couples have the wrong notion na kelangan magkasama sila sa lahat ng lakad. That is wrong. You will just tighten the rope. Learn to trust and give him that benefit. Although of course, kelangan bawasan ang paglabas labas.

5. ARGUE. DISAGREE. BUT NEVER CHALLENGE THE RELATIONSHIP. Believe it or not, argument and disagreement is a part of a healthy relationship. What's not a part of it is you or your partner challenging the relationship to a point of nearly breaking up. Doing so makes your relationship brittle and brittle everytime.

6. REGARDLESS OF WHO IS TOP OR BOTTOM, MAKE HIM FEEL A WOMAN ONCE IN A WHILE. Let's face it, the reason why we are bisexuals and gays is because we have a feminine side. So even if your boyfriend is a Top, it doesn't hurt to bring him flowers, or cook breakfast and serve it in bed. He would love that.

7. LASTLY, COURT HIM FROM TIME TO TIME. Hindi porke kayo na, ititigil mo na ang panliligaw. You have to assure him that he's yours and you're his. Pop him that question every now and then... "Will you be my boyfriend?" "Will you be my partner?" "Will you be my happily ever after?" Take him out on a date. Go to places you've dated before and reminisce.
