Finding an Outlet

Another weekend. Still no prospects what to do to make the next two days fun and productive. At least none that does not include some cash outlay.

Equating happiness and productiveness with money is sad and shallow. But honestly, with my limited imagination, that is how I can enjoy.

Consider my plans...

1. Water Spa Resort. Lucky me I got the address and contact numbers of this water spa extravaganza in Quezon City. It boasts of therapeutic jet spurts or something that resembles a massage --- cool and invigorating, or so it says in the article. Cost: Not less that P750. I hope the rate is not an hourly thing!



2. Good old massage at the Danielli Day Spa. At P350, it is guaranteed to melt my stiff muscles and satisfy my craving for touch therapy. I have no bad reviews about this place, except for 2 things: that the shower room is a bit skanky --- try brightening and sprucing the facilities a bit; and that one time I wanted to relax and doze off in the common massage room but was told to move my brown butt (please) as they had another set of customers waiting in line. I have forgiven them that one time, but do not intend to forget.

3. Thai Massage at TonTon. Another find for me. I didn't like dry poking (ooohhh, that just sounds dirty) until I tried the Thai massage. At P300 for an hour, not bad.

4. Facial at the derma. About P550. It's about time for the bimonthly purging of skin impurities and it might cost me more if I decide to get rid of those pesky warts -- as the aethetician told me.

5. Listening to Isha at the Black Soup tonight. The damage is around P350 for specially prepared food and entertainment. Although I wonder, if in my state of mind, I can make it tonight. I have been so lethargic lately... lethargic and fat. No wonder people mistake me for being pregnant.

6. Watch the fashion show at the Baywalk on Saturday. I was invited by my sisters to watch a fashion show which includes products of the store withnoname. The fashion show is free but knowing these outings with the family --- I am bound to spring for dinner and coffee. I have 5 sisters. Do the math.

7. Watch D'Lucky Ones. Heard the movie's funny and would like to be entertained for 2 hours. P150 for a cinema ticket + snacks (about P200). total P350.



As you can see, everything has a price. Last night, just a chat with my mother cost me P3,000. Sigh. My mom had 2 house construction projects and she needed some cash. Pathetic to loan my mother only P3,000. Well, she needed cash right away and that was my available cash.
