Onajin Massage Relaxation Zone

I have always been frugal. Before I purchase a thing, I look at the price tag first. If it is way over my budget, I just cry myself at night. Letting go's are never easy as they say. Letting go of something I really want, say shoes, which I know would be unreasonable to get hurts as much as letting go of a company you've served for so long. Ok, the company thing maybe harder but hey, the shoes. I mean, c'mmon ladies! I need people on my side. You know what I am talking about. :)

Well, there are also days when I spend for something unplanned but I am now over impulsive buying. I am not yet very money-smart but I am miles better than I was in my early twenties. I guess that's the beauty of getting wiser each year. You know your priorities and you know how to allocate your hard-earned moolah. It is nice to have some splurges once in a while especially if it promotes the well-being of oneself.

One thing I have learned to love is having a massage. It is great to be pampered after a hard day at work and I deeply believe that this kind of treat is something I owe to myself.

I was heading to a spa along Aparente Street, Gensan when I came across Onajin Massage Relaxation Zone along the way. Since I liked trying out something new, I got in. And was immediately surprised by a 20% discount for my first visit. I loved discounts! :) They wanted me to try their signature massage originally worth P350. I just paid the discounted price of P280. How's that for an hour and a half of delightful experience?

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. And my masseuse was excellent! It was the first time that I allowed a massage for my feet because my nerves could not stand the tickles. I did not know how she did it but I enjoyed the foot massage. The best part of the Onajin Massage was the long repetition on my lower back. That was my favorite part. 

Solemn ambiance. Your choice of oil. I chose lavander. Plus a hot cup of tea at the end of the session. This is one spa I recommend to my friends.

Treats For A Royalty: The Horizon Spa

Every last Friday of the month is a "Pamper Me Day" for Laiza and I. This month, we agreed to go to a spa! Ahuh! It's the best treat ever!

I heard and read many great things about The Horizon Spa so it must really be something. We gladly hopped up and looked for the area. And to our amazement, it really was something! :) Just by merely looking at the entrance, I knew I could expect excellence! That's how first impressions work!

This is where it all happened. The hhmmm, the oohhh, the heehee, and the zzzzzzz.

The masseuses asked how our massages be done- hard or soft. Laiza said, "Hard!" I answered after a short pause, "Softest!" :) I don't like heavy hands. I like everything to be soft and easy. The masseuse was obedient enough to grant my request that's why I fell half-asleep. I couldn't help it! The massage was so good!

Got so sleepy after the massage

I almost forgot to take pictures. Then after I remembered, the receptionist was kind enough to take us to a little tour to capture the other rooms of the spa.

I'm so impressed! They lived up to their promise: "For people in General Santos City who are very particular about the kind of spa they want to visit, preferring an establishment that should be special enough to transport them into nirvana-like state and offering services beyond the usual massage and foot rub, then they do not have to look far and wide anymore. The Horizon Spa and Fitness Studio has just opened to cater to their every whim and caprices and treat them like royalty."

I felt like a royalty being served and pampered to my satisfaction!

Confession: I was supposed to make a post on this last night but when I arrived, I found myself longing for my bed. No, not because I was tired but because my body was ready to rest and I had 9 straight hours of sleep. Talk about spa benefits! Love that!
