painful experience
okay, i'm done whining about my love life. no more complaining...i have so much to be thankful for. (*crosses fingers behind back*wink*)
the painful experience i'm referring to is what i went through today. i figured the best cure for a hangover (party last night + VIP badge + free booze = HANGOVER) would be to pamper myself. i walked over to the mall and decided to get a facial, manicure and pedicure. how nice and relaxing, right? WRONGOVIA!!! a mani/pedi i've done before, but i've never had a facial. she started out by massaging my face and i thought, "this is sooooo nice, i need to do this more often. no wonder so many people do this." just when i hit the peak of my relaxedness, the insanity began. first, she had hot air blown on my face for a good 15-30 min. i guess it was to open my pores and it kind of felt like i was in a sauna, but i started to freak out cuz i didn't feel like i was breathing air. i can't explain it...when i breathed, it didn't feel like i was taking in enough air, so i started breathing faster, almost to the point where i was hyperventilating. i turned my head, and i felt cool air coming in one nostril, so that calmed me down. but that probably meant the pores on that side of my face were still going to be closed. oh well. after i survived that, i really have no idea what she did next, but i can tell you what it felt like. it felt like she took a knitting needle and jammed it into one side of my face then dragged it slowly across my face to the other side. it was painful beyond belief. but of course, i had to pretend like i knew exactly what she was doing...i didn't want to let on that it was my first time! at the same time, the other lady was doing my manicure, so i tried to concentrate on that. i really liked it when she massaged my hands. that was nice. :) finally, when the lady stopped knitting my face, it was over. whew! no more facials for me. then it was time for my pedicure. i was so tired, i laid down and took a nap. it was the afternoon, and it was time for my nap anyway. 1 hour later i woke up and she was still filing my feet. sheesh! i must say, though, my feet are smoother than any other pedi i've ever had. the whole experience lasted about 3 1/2 hours. what an ordeal. i had to smile when i walked out...i saw many other girls (and some guys) getting a facial with probably the same look i had on my face...utter pain and discomfort. (sigh), what we put our poor bodies through...
i realized today that the only parts i enjoyed was the massages. i've never had a massage. maybe i better look into it...i sure am experiencing a lot of new things on this trip!!!
