Relaxation at Mandara

Last April 7 I decided that after almost eight days straight of working since March 31st, I deserve a little break and the best break I know of is that of relaxing massage that I always like, But then I again I have no time to go to my favorite spa (Nature's Way located at 3rd Flr. of Robinson Galeria) as I still have work today, I thought to myself that why should I make it hard for me when in fact I can still enjoy the break I deserve without compromising and worrying that I maybe late for work as there was alot of spa around Global city that offer massage, So I've decided that I will make pass for now to my ever so favorite Spa and just go to the nearest one in the area . I have this spa that I been wanting to try ever since and that is  located right across the building where I work which is at The McKinley Residence's  Mandara Spa Relaxation.

Thre Mandara Spa who incidentally has the same name of the global spa management company MANDARA SPA that founded in Bali and now have 17 branches in different countries around the globe. Thre Mandara Spa on the other hand is according to the girl at the counter when I visit the place was a very much Filipino owned spa services. According to the companies website (http://themandaraspa.com/) MANDARA is derive from the two words Mana and Dara, which means mind and single line. According to a passage in a Hindu Mythology that serves the Gods by being the churning rod that mizes the ocean of milk, This mountain is not made of fragmented stones but a single connected structure. The meaning of the phrase was so deep and was hard to comprehend but as I did a little research the phrase "Churning of the ocean of milk" literal metamorphic meaning is a deep contemplation, churning of facts, analysis aimed at solution or conclusion. Somehow we can relate this to the relaxation that when our body is relaxed and well rested so is our mind, we tend to think clearly, contemplate about life and therefore makes a good decision.

The place is very cozy and the receptionist has assisted me is very friendly and accommodating  They offer ultimate pampering and relaxation with their own Mandara spa ritual style, Here are the services they offer.

Mandara Body Ritual - This rituals offers different style of massage such as Swedish, Shiatsu, Combination, their very own Mandara signature massage, Hot stone massage, four hands theraphy (This one will includes two therapists working together in rythmic tandem).

Mandara Face Rituals - This is services that centered with the face. The services includes Whitening Facial, Oil Control Facial, Non-Surgical Face Lift, Ageloc Galvanic Spa Facial,

As for me what I choose is their own Mandara Signature Massage that cost P800 for a 60 minutes full body massage that gives hard relaxing strokes all over your body and focus at your back where all the stress and colds are. Aside from that really relaxing massage one other thing I like about the place is you get to enjoy your very own privacy in a small rectangular wooden sliding room as oppose to other spa that only have a thick curtain partition also the shower room is good, though I wasn't able to ask if they have sauna room maybe next time when I come back but for now I get to enjoy the service and their hot tea after the massage that even gives you a much relaxing effects. It was indeed a relaxing experience with Mandara Spa and I like to go back to try their other services in the very near future.

Back Again....Fly High just like a Butterfly

I'm back on writing again and hopefully this something that I can do from "NOW" on with much consistency.... sigh!! It's been awhile since the last time I was able to update my blog and that is because I can't really find the right inspiration that will push my self and satisfied my appetite of putting my ideas, opinions, and experiences in writing. I have so many things that run through my mind and I feel that the so called "PAKIALAMERA" in ME has so many "SAY" about anything and everything under the scorching heat of the sun, So many things that cross my mind that I can write about but I just cant really pull myself together in writing it, But now while in the office and not doing anything (I hate being idle!!!) I just find myself composing this very same entry in my notepad while I'm just waiting for a call to come in and like a river that continuously free flowing I feel the gist suddenly to write (as it is still avail time!!!) 

I don't know but sometimes when you feel down and troubled that's where you find your inspiration to have everything set in motion, Just like now I feel emotionally drain and I need diversion that I can focus my mind on and thankfully writing is something that I turn to, Don't get me wrong though I have friends and I guess lots of friends who will wholeheartedly can spare there free time and not even there free time at all just to listen and be someone that I can lean on but then I choose to do otherwise, I guess most of us, needs a time alone to re-assist ourselves or just to simply have your own private space that you can spend your time with, a safe zone, Just like a butterfly's metamorphosis, before it became a beautiful and colorful butterfly it undergo cycle, the caterpillar need to keep its self inside the pupa and after like forever it emerge to become beautiful butterfly that spread its wings and see the world in a new whole level. We as individual may find a time to be alone for awhile, you emerge from our own private pupa space,  you fly and you will see life in a much clearer, meaningful level

                                              Spread your wings and prepare to fly
                                                  For you have become a butterfly
                                                  Oh, fly abondonely into the sun
