a little amusement

massage sessions had been effective, or so i thought. never in the world would i spend my precious money on such things, i used to say to myself. and do remember, that was years ago when i was still fit and dandy.

then, a few years later, i remembered ranting and saying how i wish i can chop off my legs because they were killing me. the pain was just excruciating. a bed is where you seek comfort and solace. but for me, it was discomfort and restlessness. when the next day came by, i thought i would have recovered. but no, the pain came back by the end of the day.

sigh. what a girl to do?

i signed on a package for foot massage. after a few sessions, the masseuse re-examined my situation and gave me a free body massage to find out the primary cause of why i have been feeling the discomfort. she was right on spot - my sacrum was causing it. i think my posture wasn't right & my blood circulation was bad. (i don't exercise regularly) so i signed up for a body massage package.

when i reflect my decision to sign up, i asked myself - was i tricked into getting a package? i never thought that i would spend like $300+ for these kind of things. i wouldn't bat an eyelid to say NO when I went for free massage sessions years ago. but now, i wouldn't bat an eyelid to spend that much for a package.

was it a psychological factor? - you know you're in pain, and with this massage, all your pain & worries disappeared. so it doesn't matter if the package will cost me a bomb, i will not hesitate to pay for it.

seriously, now, i feel so much better. i'm more aware of my pains and aches. i don't wear high heels anymore because that was the most initial cause to why my legs were killing me. i do still feel some pain sometimes and i will normally inform my masseuse about it.

her contract ends in august. hopefully, my sessions will be used up by then. she's a really nice masseuse.
