Hour 17

May 4th
Malia Muin
5'10'' athletic, muscular, toned

Malia is one of my closest friends/teammates. She was there at poly fest as a paddler and she's been my volleyball teammate for five to six years. She's gone through a lot of injuries over the years so I was particularly careful with her.

After poly fest, her and Maddie Chong came over and I gave Malia a massage.

When I gave her a massage last year, she said that it was "heavenly." But, now, after my training and practice, she said it was "out of this world." She said that I improved a lot. Even though this sort of comment would normally embarrass me, I was really happy and proud that she felt that way. I really trust her input too because she's doing chiropractoring for her project. I feel like that's the Western counterpart to hilot and she said that we do some of the same techniques and we talk about how others differ.

I'm normally really skeptical about things, but since I've been around hilot for most of my life, I really do trust it. There's not a lot of techinical or hard evidence as to why hilot works, but the thing is, it does. My massages for the past months aand Mang Adring's years of experience confirms that. We're getting to the final stretch and all I can do is power through.
