2 months absence
Back after 2 months out in the wild. I was hiding from the tagging by Shah. Yeah, you can all blame him for that. LOL. Kidding.
Been to Guangdong and Meixian, place of the ancestors …. Not posting any picture here. It’s already on my Facebook account, and they were not good ones anyway.
I’m following a Gua Sha 刮痧 treatment for my back. It’s where the masseuse scrape your back with a jade comb-like object. Ok, it’s more like Dracula’s mouth with two protruding teeth on the side. The space in between is to allow space for your spine. I think. I was always lying face down, so no idea how they used it.
What can I say, my health is not that great, and I fracking love pain. I should try S&M one day. 
Joking.
For more than an hour the masseuse scrapes your neck, your shoulders and spine, and where she encounters some ‘knots’ she keeps telling you some bloody stories about this meaning some part of your body being sick (your liver, your spleen, etc etc, no idea what the hell they’re talking about since my Chinese is not that good) …. After my first session, the length of the area of the spinal cord was red/black. For them, that meant really bad health. For me it meant they’re fracking trying to get me killed. Haha.
I’ve enclosed a grainy picture of my back.
My back after gua sha treatment
I’m going to do a facial today. If the fracking rain stops. It’s been raining heavily during the last hour or so.
Ok, I need to stop watching Fracking Battlestar Galactica. Too many fracks.

Where are you now? Oh wait, you’re in the brig of the Galactica and awaiting for Dr. Cottle to check out if you’re a cylon or not.
You know - I like cylons. If you’re one, that’s fine by me ‘coz you’ll be able to get me a Sharon for personal use. :P
Have an enjoyable weekend :)

There is something a bit similar to this. I saw it in a Taiwanese variety show once. Same principle except that instead of scraping, you have to use a special stick to hit yourself repeatedly on certain areas on the body. In the show, they did it on the arm and after about 1 min, there was a black spot which appeared. It doesn’t look like a bruise because it was so black. Apparently it means that the person has bad health.

Frak man! I thought you had been kidnapped by an eight (sharon) and sent to a cylon base ship.
Glad you escaped. Still, you won’t be escaping a good night in the brig followed by kicks from Starbucks.
Wow @ the picture. Did the cylons turn you into one of them? Your spine is glowing.
Seriously though, it’s good that you’re taking care of yourself. Hope that you get better and that your chi gets better.
:)
Hope to read more posts from you again.
Best regards and blessings (as well as fraks, lots of fraks and booze)
