Treasured Award

Thanks so much for this award, Cee! I really appreciate this :) Now I'd like to pass on this award to the first 4 people I've followed or followed me since I've started blogging.

Twinkie, whom I've known since childhood. Marami na tayong napagdaanan with and without each other. Whatever life gives, hang on! Be strong! Your family and friends are always here for you. You are never far from my thoughts and prayers :)

Ninang Angie, your stories are always an inspiration. I've ever only had one person I've looked up to, admired and wanted to emulate as a doctor, that's my cousin Dr. de Vera. Now I have 2. :)

Beth and Chris, you've made my entry into the blogging world so easy and smooth. Thank you so much for the friendship! xoxo

#002 - A Time to Relax

A friend contacted me a few weeks ago. He said he was nearby and he had something to give me. Apparently, it was a long overdue wedding gift. A trio of common friends gave it to him to give to me since we saw each other often but he kept forgetting to bring it, and I didn't even know he had it. Good thing he did it because it was valid only until May 5! That's this Wednesday! And it was such a precious, precious gift. It was a gift certificate for an executive massage for 2 at any branch of The Spa! Huh!

Once I got a hold of the GCs, I immediately made reservations with The Spa. No guilty feelings for us in leaving JT behind since I timed it with his nap. So last Saturday, my hubby and I went off to their nearest branch. There were hardly any people since it was a weekday. The staff was very accommodating and courteous. The place itself was clean and the ambiance soothing. The hot ginger tea added to that relaxed feeling. There was a short waiting period, though, while they prepared the room. The massage was wonderful and we both drifted to sleep sometime in the middle. All in all, it was a great gift. I'd definitely consider giving it as a gift to a friend or treating ourselves to another session on our anniversary.

Our time together was cut short, though. Several minutes after getting out of The Spa, we were strolling inside the mall when a timely text from our Yaya said that JT is awake and would soon want to nurse. Oh well! We did have a great time.
