R&R

So it's been a busy past couple of weeks. Not so much with work, but with errands and such. Luckily, I've gotten a chance to really relax during the weekends. The other weekend, Gina, Vuong and I hit Burke Williams. We got in early and sat in the jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. Vuong got a long ass facial whereas Gina and I got deep tissue massages... or as Gina calls it, "one of the most painful massages of my life." To me, it's supposed to hurt because they're supposed to work on the knots and such. I've had the swedish/shiatsu massage before. Now THAT hurts. At one point, I remember thinking... is that her knee in my back? Anyhow, after that we went over to Petros for dinner, then all headed home. All that relaxing can be tiring.

Then this past Sunday, we went to a Korean spa where they rub you down and exfoliate your whole entire body. That's right. They smack it up, flip it, rub it down... First you have to soak in a jacuzzi for about a half hour. Afterwards, they lay you face down on what is essentially a gurney, butt nekkid and take a scobie to your body. You know what a scobie is... they're dishwashing sponges. Once they're done scrubbing your entire backside, they smack you and tell you to turn over and they repeat with the front and then the sides. It was an interesting experience - and cheap too! Afterwards, we went for Korean BBQ - which was a highlight for me. It's been so long since I've had it. I was going to head down to Laguna afterwards but of course it was pouring rain, so I decided to just head home, where I promptly fell asleep.

Anyhow, this is all the calm before the storm. Work will soon be super busy and I'll be travelling for most of February.
