November found my schedule spinning a bit out of control with the early Christmas shopping (not to mention haggling at the local bazaars), parties (yup, really…I even had to beg off sometimes because I’m not so much into it), cleaning chores, helping my sister with her ham business, wedding preparation (not mine, but that of my friends’), backlogs (blog posts that will be publish) and really to celebrate Yuletide. Long hours of standing at the MRT, heavy shopping bags and backpacks plus loads of meals from fast foods all resulted in less energy and a rather achy body. At some point, I felt on the verge of near collapse because of too much stress accompanied by late nights out and all I could think of was how to make up to my super stressed mind and body. I certainly do not want to abuse my health. I need to rejuvenate and relax even just for a while. A massage seemed to be on my plan so it was just serendipity that I received a message from Sarah Cabanlig to try Royal Oasis. Without further ado, I immediately said yes.

I have nothing against home massages. I just feel going into a massage spa allows one to “disconnect” from the daily grind of your life. Getting to Royal Oasis is a bit tricky. But once you’re able to see their huge sign just across Elyong’s, it is synonymous to heaven. Located in Commonwealth Extension, Royal Oasis will definitely make you utter ooohs and ahhhs, as an expression of satisfaction. Royal Oasis is a haven for those tired bodies that needs pampering. Specializing in Thai and Swedish massage, Royal Oasis upholds these ancient and traditional methods to de-stress the mind and body, giving one a heightened sense of peace and well being.

Upon entering Royal Oasis, I felt instantly at home. The ambiance was cozy and the staff gave such a warm welcome. The treatment of choice, Royal Tranquility Swedish body massage. It was really invigorating—perfect for me since it was still mid-day and I still had evening obligations to attend to. My one-hour escape had a massage with lavender oil. Upon my arrival, I was treated like royalty with a cup of their signature hot ginger tea. I was surprised for I never liked “salabat” or anything with ginger but this time I really enjoyed its sweet and mildly tangy taste. The treatment started with the relaxing foot soak before the actual massage.

When the treatment started, I silently hoped that time would stop and let me enjoy this serenity for as long as possible. The massage was done in a strong circulatory manner that initially kneaded out the tightened muscles or those lactic acids (better known in vernacular as “lamig”) especially on my overworked calves and lower back. Warm oil was further rubbed into my skin to help aid in blood circulation. My shoulders and neck were also treated with massages and hot pads. I could feel the familiar “pop” of muscles loosening and even if I didn’t fall asleep I knew my body was getting the recharge it needed and deserved because of the intensity of the massage.

When I was done, I couldn’t help but feel a different kind of zest within me! I got the boost I needed and the relaxing pampering I so desired. Whether it is to soothe and sleep, getting a massage is a definite way of saying “love yourself”—and I highly recommend that you get it from Royal Oasis.

The place is great. But the problem here is how the massage is done. The massage bed is too low lying in a wooden floor. So there are squeaks and thuds when a massage is done. Also, the most important thing, there's no hole in the massage bed for your face to relax down. You need to go side to side, which is not relaxing.
