Another normal day for him now taking a " luxury bath " with our mineral water that we drink here in the Ph. 😆. He knew exactly what to do this time !..
For him, it was just another normal day in the Philippines—one of those ordinary moments that somehow felt extraordinary. He had been here for a while now, getting used to the daily rhythm of life in the country. What made today different, however, was his impromptu decision to take a "luxury bath" with the local mineral water, a little indulgence that had quickly become part of his routine since arriving.
At first, he hadn’t quite understood the appeal of it. Back in the US, a bath usually meant a quick dip in regular tap water or a relaxing soak in a tub filled with warm water from the faucet. Nothing special. But here, in the Philippines, the mineral water that flows from the natural springs had a different quality altogether. The locals swear by it—not just for drinking but for everything. It’s said to be healing, refreshing, and even skin-softening. People use it for cooking, bathing, and even as a kind of therapeutic treatment.
The first time he tried it, he was a bit skeptical. "How different can water really be?" he thought, shrugging off the idea. But as soon as he took that first sip, he could feel the difference. The cool, crisp taste was far more refreshing than any bottled water he had ever had. Soon enough, he was hooked—drinking it daily and, as he’d come to find out, even enjoying it in his baths.
Today, he’d decided to treat himself to what he now called a "luxury bath." The locals often fill large basins with the mineral water to wash their bodies, and the experience is different from anything he’d ever tried before. There was something soothing about the gentle minerals in the water, something that made his skin feel softer, fresher. It wasn’t just about cleanliness—it felt like a small spa experience, like the water itself had a calming, restorative quality. The gentle warmth of the bath and the coolness of the mineral water created the perfect balance.
Now, after having tried it several times, he knew exactly what to do. There was no hesitation as he filled his small wooden tub with the mineral water, letting it flow freely as he adjusted the temperature just to his liking. He poured a little more of the water into a bucket and used it to rinse off, allowing the fresh, soft liquid to pour over his head and trickle down his body.
He smiled to himself as he sank deeper into the tub, the mineral water enveloping him. He let out a sigh, feeling the tension of his day slowly melt away. This had become his little moment of luxury—a self-care ritual that made him feel connected to the land, to the people, and to the unique experience of living in the Philippines. In the US, a luxury bath might have been in a high-end spa or with fancy oils and bubbles, but here, in the simplicity of his bath, he found a new kind of indulgence.
It was moments like this that made him appreciate the little things—things he might have overlooked in the hustle of his life back home. As he leaned back, letting the water soak in, he felt grateful. The mineral water wasn’t just refreshing; it was a reminder of the unique experiences he was having in this new place. He knew exactly what to do now, and in that simple action, he had found a small slice of peace.
Another ordinary day, yet one that felt rich with the satisfaction of a little self-care and the joy of discovering something new, something that now felt like a part of him. After all, it was these little indulgences, these moments of quiet happiness, that made life feel a little more luxurious, even in the simplest of ways.
