I had a massage yesterday and the massage therapist really gave me a very hard massage. As a testament to that, my body’s aching up to now. But at least it lessened the back pain that I was feeling the past few days.
They say it’s not right when you’re starting to feel pain during the massage but I guess that’s just how it is when you requested for a hard massage. And I certainly got what I asked. It was effective because immediately after the session, my back pain’s gone and I was feeling better all over my body. It was truly relaxing. Although it was after a day when I finally felt the effects of having a hard massage.
I am tempted to take a pain killer but my mom warned me from using them as it can damage the kidney. If ever that’s true, I guess it’s only when you are taking those painkillers in a regular basis, which I don’t. Anyway, just to follow my mom’s advice, I opted not to take any and just try to get through the pain.
I drove from Makati to Libis today and just out of a whim, I turned off my car’s radio. I haven’t done that for a very long time now and I just realized what a relaxing thing it was to do.
Why? Let me count the ways…
1. I no longer hear about stuff related to Manny Pacquiao. Don’t get me wrong. I admire the Pacman, but to hear him on the radio, see him on TV and billboards almost 24/7 is just too much. I got so fed up with his exposure that I even stopped buying Head and Shoulders shampoo.
2. I was not able to hear a Tagalized American song.
3. No more DJ banters. I hate DJs who talk more often when they shold be playing music.
Those are just a few of the things that I was able to save myself from. I’m planning not to turn on the radio from now on, for as long as I can. Of course that’s a different story when my girlfriend’s with me. She can’t stand a trip without any sounds.
I was standing in front of Megamall a few hours ago when a white pickup truck stopped. The driver lowered his window and shouted my name. It took me a few seconds before I realized who the guy was. It was Edwin, a former co-employee of mine. He was wearing this big smile as he moved his vehicle closer to where I was standing.
The last time we saw each other was about three years ago. He was the first one to resign from the company we were working for at that time. He was a good basketball player and because he is a bit tall at almost 6 feet, he was our center during the company’s sportsfests. As for myself, I only joined the team because of the free jersey.
Kidding aside about the jersey, it was really nice to see old co-workers and friends again. Memories, good ones at that, will always put a smile on our face.
A blog about anything. I know, it's the worst niche idea, ever! :)
