  • Nuat Thai Masangkay (Review, massage rates) – Swedish body massage experience at a branch better than Ermita’s

    Nuat Thai Masangkay (Review, massage rates) – Swedish body massage experience at a branch better than Ermita’s

    Here’s a Nuat Thai massage rates / price list that I took from Nuat Thai Masangkay branch, retrieved in July 2015:
    Nuat thai masangkay price list, July 2015

    In the past few weeks, me and my mom, accompanied by my BF, go to a hospital near Masangkay Street, Manila every Saturday. We were surprised to find that there’s a Nuat Thai branch in there because it’s currently not in the list of branches in the Nuat Thai website.

    You will find this Nuat Thai branch at 1211, Ground floor of Diamond Tower, Masangkay St., Sta. Cruz, Manila. If you are coming from Plaza Lorenzo Ruiz or Binondo Church, Nuat Thai Masangkay branch is located past Masangkay Street’s intersection with Recto Avenue. There is a Jollibee branch a bit after Nuat Thai Masangkay, almost facing it.

    You may be able ro reach them by calling 230-9971.

    Today, my BF wanted a massage for his aching back (says it’s caused by playing an arcade game, maimai) and so we went to Nuat Thai in Masangkay, a branch not so far from home. 🙂

    We find that the Masangkay branch is better than Nuat Thai Ermita. The place has a relaxing smell of peppermint and the beds and room dividers are better. In terms of satisfaction in the massage itself, I liked the massage of the therapist in Nuat Thai Masangkay (Emma) as much as I liked the massage at Nuat Thai Ermita (Jenny).

    Like in Ermita branch, we were only charged 300 instead of 350 for Swedish body massage.

  • Nuat Thai, Ermita (Review) – Swedish massage experience with a good therapist

    Nuat Thai, Ermita (Review) – Swedish massage experience with a good therapist

    I had my best-so-far massage last Sunday at the Ermita branch of Nuat Thai.  😀 I don’t know if it’s Nuat Thai or the therapist I should give my praises to, but I was satisfied with the service. I call it my best-so-far massage because the pressure was just right in my thighs which my previous therapists hurt with their nails. ^_^

  • Chronic upper back pain and Mont Albo Massage Hut experience (Review)

    Chronic upper back pain and Mont Albo Massage Hut experience (Review)

    I have a chronic back pain, especially on the upper part. It’s been here for the past 3 years, beginning a few weeks before my graduation in May 2011. I have been trying to endure it, surviving mostly because of quick massages from my parents and my boyfriend.

    My first office work began in July 2013. The upper back pain, which is mostly around the shoulder blade muscles, persisted as expected. It even got worse last month in January 2014. I experienced severe pain in my right neck, down to my right shoulder, down to the shoulder blade muscles that have been painful for years. I found that standing up to walk is the only thing that helps me with this new kind of pain.

    I know I need to visit a doctor, maybe a specialist in orthopedics, but I haven’t found a female doc yet. I’m almost sure I need to take my top off during the examination, and I don’t want a male doctor to examine me without a shirt. So yeah, I’m… err, procrastinating about looking for a female ortho in an hospital or clinic that honors my health card. I decided I’ll just keep on taking breaks from sitting and getting massages to try to relieve myself of the pain.

    Today I visited Mont Albo in United Nations Avenue. My boyfriend and I went to the Padre Faura branch first, but it doesn’t exist in the building stated in their website. Outdated website info is so annoying, and we experience this a lot in movie scheds posted on websites.

    I’m not too pleased about Mont Albo in UN Avenue. But since we availed the Early Bird Promo, paying only 199 instead of 380, I’m not feeling so bad about it.

    Read on for a list of what I liked and didn’t like. I prefer writing lists over paragraphs because I kinda suck at the latter. ^_^

  • ReadyForRain.com Experience (Review of Ready for Rain’s Ordering and Delivery Process)

    In one sentence, if you ask me how I feel about my transaction with them, I’d say “I’m glad it’s over. Phew.”

    I felt that they don’t value their relationship with customers. Shipping was delayed (later than what’s written in Delivery Policy), wrong item was sent, and they made me wait at a JRS branch that’s a bit far from my house for nothing.

    Read the entire article for details.
