Disclaimer: I wasn’t PAID in part or any form to advertise this product. (I wish!) 😛 This is based on my personal experience.

As ate was getting her digiperm which took forever (4 hours!), I noticed a long que just outside the door of Tony & Jackey. And you already know that my middle name is Curiosity (thus forever getting me into trouble!), so I followed the snaking line to find what what the hoolabaloo was all about! ;P

The line started way before we got there at 10 am!

Korean company, NUGA BEST

I saw mostly lolas & lolos sitting inside waiting for their turn for goodness knows what! So F.C. (Feeling Close, as what ate’s friend Ramy calls me!!!), I started a conversation with them & pretty soon they were insisting I line up as well to try for FREE the “magic bed” that gave them relief from arthritis & other ailments yes, even CANCER!

Baloney, I thought! Omg, they would really spend their WHOLE day lining up just to get a FREE massage from the magic bed?!? @_@ So I went back to the parlor, brought out my ipad & googled this “magic bed”.

Armed with enough information, I walked up to the uniformed person (who was cleary in charge) and asked about the so called “magic bed”. The lady, Marjorie, invited me inside for a free trial. Before I go further, let me reiterate that the service they were giving to the people queuing was FREE! As in NO CHARGE! Every day, it was FREE -from the mouth of babes oldies!!! (Believe me, and not to be a snob, but the people in queue wouldn’t be able to afford the machines this Korean company was selling -so I really believe that there was “no catch” for them). All they had to do was line up & every 40 minutes, 30 or so people went in as the same amount of people went out holding 2 pcs. of small brown beads which they get every time they visit (FREE TOO!) and they collect those beads to make into a bracelet. (btw, Marjorie gave me 5 bands which if you buy from them costs around 2.5k per band!!!)

My fellow arthritic friends hehehe! ;P

See? Doesn’t it look like the charity wing of a hospital???

The V.I.P. rooms where I was taken.. Wow F.S. naman ako (feeling sosi)! 😛 They have 3 kinds of beds. The jade (leftmost), another one that I didn’t quite catch, & The Tourmanium.

This is their latest, The Tourmanium 500.

What is tourmanium
Developed by NUGA Medical for the first time in the world, the miraculous life-giving stone, tourmanium ceramics is manufactured through the processes of processing tourmaline, natural germanium, volcanic rock and elvan into microparticulates, followed by vacuum drying, screening the powder, making a form, and sintering/burning the form at higher than 1,300 ℃ with the most advanced technology. It is characterized by enamel-free polishing and best quality.

I lay down on this contraption & life as I knew it, was never the same! ;)) I SWEAR to you! My back pain was GONE! This “magic bed” kneaded, stretched & heated my back. The relief was immediate & I really didn’t want to get up! Except that my time was up. I can only do 40 minutes/session since the heat was too much & I could get burned.

I immediately asked what the going rate was for this “magic bed”. They said a price which made my eyes bulge out! @_@ Then they said there was a waitlist. They were out of stock so they can’t sell any to me at the moment! But I was free to visit them everyday in the V.I.P. room with NO CHARGE/NO QUEUE whatsoever!!! Are they for real???

This is what ate & I have been using for the past 3 days. Call it psychological.. call it whatever you like, but I haven’t been experiencing back pain lately even after walking around Lucky Chinatown Mall the whole afternoon & waiting for ate until 9pm in school yesterday!

Ate’s been using it too coz it claims to melt fats in the abdominal area hehe..

With my new BFF, Marjorie! 😉 I was hoping for the wide bracelet but hey, you don’t choose your gifts! 😛 I’m thankful for the 5 stands they gave me. 1 intended for each of my family member but since the 2 boys are too macho to use one, I only gave my 2 girls & kept the 3 for myself teehee! ;))

 Now, to figure out how to hide my magic bed from Kapitan K hehe. Any suggestions??? Boo! ;))
