A Day Of "For Girls Only"

Amongst the couples that compose our circle of friends, four couples somehow have got more time on gimmicks and get-togethers. These couples have established an extra ordinary rapport.  There was almost no special occasion that we haven’t celebrated together.  Be it a birthday, a valentine, the yuletide or the lenten.  We have many memorable moments together which were inevitable of recalling every time we were together. And on times of reminiscing those moments, there would be the usual uproar of laughter that sometimes ends in tears to some, stomach aches and farts to others due to relentless laughter.     

Yesterday, it was a day of “For Girls Only.”  Susan treated us to a Health Spa.  We met with her at the Holiday Spa in D. Tuason, Quezon City since she had yet to come from her office in Ortigas while  Ely and me, were fetched by Lyn in her car. The three of us arrived at the appointed place earlier so we had a little halo-halo and turon while waiting. It wasn’t too long till Susan arrived and we proceeded to the Spa.  I was a little worried what to expect for it was my first time on such place.  Inside, we were each given a key to a locker, a pair of slippers, a loose shorts and robe, a soap and a towel.  The place was so clean and cozy.  A calming music was being played.  We slipped in our bathing attire,  took a hot shower and then submerged ourselves in the very comfortable warm pressured water of the Jacuzzi.  We stayed there for almost an hour without noticing the time due to endless topics of conversation. Sauna was the next cubicle we lounged.  I decided not to stay there long, since I have heard before that Sauna is meant for those who want to lose weight, and I, absolutely can not afford to shed a bit more from 128 lbs., 5’7” body built of mine. I dipped in the Jacuzzi instead once again and had a hot shower once more.  After which on to the main event of whole body Swedish Massage.  It was so comfortably relaxing. It was probably the ultimate soothig relaxation  my body has ever had.

Looked like there was no end to treats.  A sumptuous dinner followed courtesy of Ely. Unfortunately, Susan wasn’t able to join us on the extended gimmick.  We met wirh our  husbands who were earlier waiting for us in a restaurant we earlier requested them to meet us. There was a lohger time of hanging out and updating existing camaraderie.

By simply being together, another unforgettable bonding experience happened equally worthy of reminiscing.

It was indeed an exhilirating day of "For the Girls Only" and a  night of "Triple Dates". 

Thanks to Susan, for the Spa treat, thanks to Ely for the early  and late  dinner and thanks to Lyn for allowing herself to be our exclusive driver until we were with  our very own husband drivers. (Don’t worry girls, it will be my turn next time.)
