Christian Bautista finds relaxation amid exhilarating days
IT is no secret that the lives of celebrities are full of unexpected challenges, jam-packed schedules and everyday surprises. As an actor, musician and businessman, Christian Bautista lives vigorous yet exhilarating days — each one different from the other.Alarm clocks are essential, he said, illustrating the dynamic and bustling activities he has each day. Whether it would be to prepare for taping, have morning coffee before a meeting or pack up for an upcoming flight, Bautista always has to be on his feet.He is also busy with other activities for his social, physical and mental well-being such as working out, spending time with his loved ones by playing sports, going on a night out with friends, enjoying a computer game and livestreaming for his fans.During these hectic days, one of Bautista's cherished recreational and relaxation activities is to go to BlueWater Day Spa and avail of its massage services."It's really important to find time to relax because it gets very erratic, especially during the Christmas season. It's more intense, but I like it," Bautista said.Bautista describes his experience at BlueWater Day Spa as akin to a time capsule; as if he is locked within the facility and away from the worries of the outside world. His favorite service is the Traditional Filipino Massage.The Thai Yoga Massage helps reduce stress, boost energy and clear the mind. Its strokes are very calming, and the pressure points release a lot of muscle tension. It is very calming at the beginning; yet, it leaves clients feeling energized — ready to conquer the day ahead.On the other hand, the Chiang Mai Traditional Massage helps relieve pressure through compression and acupressure. It also helps reduce anxiety and build correct posture.Bautista says the Traditional Filipino massage transports him back to his childhood, as it reflects the hilot (healing touch) from the small town masahistas (masseuses) in his province. Culturally, these hilot practices are believed to have rejuvenating properties, which is also evident in BlueWater Day Spa's Traditional Filipino Massage."I'm glad that up to now, there are spas [such as] BlueWater Day Spa that are conveniently located, [where people can avail of this Traditional Filipino healing massage]," Bautista says.BlueWater Day Spa has been an endearing facility for Bautista because of the staff's friendliness. He says the staff members treat customers really well. The space is tidy and distinctive. One feature he likes is the availability of entertainment and seats, where groups of friends can have a spa party and watch a movie on-screen while being massaged.These benefits have encouraged him to be a brand ambassador for the wellness facility, inspiring others to try its services for themselves. BlueWater Day Spa has a long list of services, which will surely fit anyone's necessities and preferences."I would really like to invite everyone to experience these because I would really like it to be a part of their routine. They can have a massage at least once a week. Their [stresses] and tensions will melt away even if it's just for a while," Bautista says.As the holidays approach, Bautista reminds everyone to be mindful of their health by finding time to rest and relax amid the hustle and bustle of daily life that are often disregarded and forgotten by many."There has to be a mindset to take care of your health and body. Yes, there are times na kailangan pukpok talaga sa trabaho (where we need to work even harder), but have that time to relax and reset again," he says.Recently, Bautista, also known as "Asia's Romantic Balladeer," has been awarded as the Best Male Concert Performer of the Year at the 16th Star Awards for Music for his "The way you look at me: 20th anniversary concert."This solidifies his reputation as one of the beloved Filipino music icons of this generation alongside fellow nominees such as Pilita Corrales, Gary Valenciano, Ian Veneracion, Jed Madela, Joey Generoso, Ogie Alcasid and Piolo Pascual.Follow Bluewater Day Spa on Facebook (bwdspa) and Instagram (bluewaterdayspaofficial) for more updates.
