Equanimity Spa Has Moved

I thought it had closed down. I was close by to where I knew it was located and was utterly disappointed to see a "For Rent" sign on the door. Its sign was gone and the front looked like a abandoned building. I texted the owner to wonder what happened. Where did my favorite masseur go? He replied and said, "we will never close."

They've moved to Kamias Street, closer to EDSA, and in front of a BPI Family Bank. They're quite close to Mr. Earth Spa, which is walking distance from EDSA. Their website is not fully updated but the address is stated as 100A Kamuning Rd, QC (in front of BPI Family Savings Bank and Ten Four Cassava Cake near Edsa). Have a good one!

Freelance Masseurs

Numerous freelance masseurs advertise their services on the net, in e-groups and in blogs. There are two blogs you can check out, The Inner Circle and Spaquarium. Both have pics and contact numbers of the freelance masseur of your choice. The former has a listing of various massage parlors in Metro Manila. Just be careful of meeting up with a masseur not connected with any spa or massage clinic. Some of them could be hustlers or could cheat you out of an agreement. In both websites, they seem to have the same listing of masseurs (even the same series of pics) so it seems that both sites might be run by the same individual. I notices though that the masseurs featured are those that have been advertising their service for quite sometime. It might be safe to assume that these masseurs are, uhm, safe. No guarantee on their looks and service quality. Web pics can be deceiving and service ratings are subjective. Proof is that most masseurs get mixed reviews.

Spa Mondialle

A new spa has arrived. Well, at least it's new to me. This is the first I have heard of it and their website doesn't say much. I called them for directions and they said that they are Scout Reyes Street near the corner of Quezon Avenue. Unfamiliar with the Scout area of streets in Quezon City, I asked further and they said that the main landmark is the Mercury Drug store in the Delta intersection, which means they are around the intersection of Quezon Avenue, Timog Avenue and West Avenue, which used to be called the Delta Circle. Anyway, I have not seen or tried the place so you are on your own here.
