I know I'm supposed to be on vacation but when opportunity knocks, I have a hard time turning it down. Massage here in Philippines is really booming. There are spas popping up left and right. Unfortunately the level of skill here is not very good. Most of the massage here is either a light Swedish, shiatsu and reflexology. Deep tissue massages here is virtually non-existent. I haven't received any bodywork here yet but the people who I have worked on here have told me not to waste my time. I will get some later this week though just for curiosity. It's so cheap here that even if it's a bad massage, I won't lose any sleep (range from $10 to $25 including tip).
So this week alone I'm schedule to do 6 massages and counting. I blocked off this weekend because we are planning on going island hoping. But if it doesn't push through, I'm sure I'll get booked this weekend. I'm charging more than the local rates but my clients are not complaining. I might as well let my vacation pay for itself.
Last night, I had dinner with an old college friend. We hung out and drove around town. We had so much fun that we lost track of time. I got to be bed a little past 12AM. Which means I woke up at around 6AM. By the time I was ready for practice, I was just not in the mood for it any more. I skipped practice this morning which I'm not very happy about. I won't beat myself up for it though. I knew it was bound to happen. I hope to get back on track tomorrow.
