Gym Etiquette

Ive been with Fitness First for 2 years. I went to more than 5 branches already, here and in Singapore. New members are joining in the health trend and that is just awesome. BUT, there are just some annoying things that people do at the gym that makes me wonder: DON'T YOU READ THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THIS FITNESS CLUB, YOU DUMB TURD?

1st...this is a fitness club. hindi po ito tiangge. nagbabayad ka ng monthly membership mo para magbenta ng fake na sports clothes, biscuits, banana bread, pabango, make-up, bra, panty at kung ano-ano pa? at naka-gym attire ka pa! 'te, ilang calories ang nabu-burn sa pagtitinda?

2nd...ang mga sofa sa loob ng locker room ay hindi kama. Sa dami ng mga nag-gygym at napapagod, tulad mo, gusto din naman namin maupo. pero kung nakahilata ka, saan kami magpapahinga? e kung upuan na lang namin yon mukha mo?

3rd... ang sauna at steam room ay para sa lahat. Pag alam mo naman na medyo matao, wag ka ng humiga at mag-feeling na nasa beach. pare-pareho tayong nagbabayad kaya wag ka maginarte. Move your fat ass! At hello, kung bubuhusan mo yon stones para maging parang impyerno ang init sa loob ng sauna, siguraduhin mo lang na di ka aalis agad..ikaw naglagay, ienjoy mo ang init!

4th...wag kayong humarang! lalo na sa entrance, sa kuhanan ng tubig o sa lababo. kailangan ba talaga na sa mga lugar na to magchikahan?

5th...3 lang ang blower sa bawat fitness club. wag magswapang. pag tuyo na ang buhok, lumayas ka na sa kinatatyuan mo at meron pang ibang gagamit. ang laki laki ng locker room, gusto mo sa may blower pa maglagay ng make-up!

6th...READ: PLEASE DO NOT PLACE YOUR THINGS INSIDE THE SHOWER ROOMS. OTHER MEMBERS MAY NEED TO USE IT. Sige, isusuggest ko sa manager na itagalog o kaya isalain sa ibang language. baka maintindihan mo!

7th...boys! men! boys! (o sige na, pati na din sa pawisin na mga babae) you sweat 3x more than us. kung tatakbo ka sa treadmill o gagamit ka ng bike o magbubuhat ka, at alam mo na kung pagpawisan ka e daig mo pa ang sprinklers ng malacanang, punasan mo yon mga talsik sa paligid mo. aba naman, nakakadiri kaya! kawawa naman kaming mga susunod na gamit. saan kami hahawak kung bawat sulok ng ginamit mong equipment ay may bakas ng pawis mo! yuck!!!!!!

8th...deordorant. maawa ka sa makakatabi mo pag bigla ka ng putukan. kung immune ka sa amoy mo, kami hindi. kaya for the well-being of others, put on some deordorant. may nabibili naman na nasa sachet na. P5 lang yon! sandali mo lang gagawin yon paglagay. parang awa nyo na...

9th...no offense sa mga bading. pero naman, di naman kailangan na mag-ingay pa habang nasa group exercise. di naman ito comedy club. you are distracting alot of people. oo, nakakatawa yon mga side comments nyo, mga inarte nyo sa floor, pero pag OA na, swear, nakakairita!

10th...wag ka ng maglagay ng make-up bago ka mag-work out. kasi pag pinagpawisan ka, kakalat yon eyeliner mo at magmumukha kang zombie. e di yon crush mo na dahilan ng masigasig mong pag-aayos ay lalong matu-turn off sa yo. payong kaibigan lang naman.

11th...walang pakialamanan! talagang maiksi ako magshorts, tumatakbo ako sa treadmill na labas ang cleavage ko, nagtatanggal ako ng damit sa harap ng maraming tao para magbihis ng pang-gym. di ko alam kung bakit, tingin ka ng tingin sa kin. comfortable kasi ako sa katawan ko. try mo din, para matigil yon inggit mo.

12th...wag kang siga. di porke kilala mo yon mga instructors o kaya yon mga PT o kaya yon manager, pwede mo ng gawin yon gusto mo kahit nakaka-abala ka. pakita mo sa kin na pagaari mo yon club at mananahimik ako. che!

hayyy..kung bawat pagkairita ko sa mga bagay-bagay sa loob ng gym ay makakabawas ng 10 pounds sa katawan ko, baka buto't balat na ko ngayon.

buti pa ang lalake...

...di nagkakaron ng period every month. di sumasakit ang puson dahil sa menstrual cramps at di tinatagusan pag nagkamali ng upo.

...di nabubuntis. di kailangan maglihe ng ilang buwan. di tataba dahil sa paglilihi. di namamanas. di lumalaki ang ilong at umiitim ang mga ibang bahagi ng katawan...

...pag nagloko, pwedeng idahilan na lalake sila. kahit ilan ang syotain nila ng sabay-sabay, macho pa tingin sa kanila.

...pwedeng umagahin sa daan. pwedeng umuwi ng lasing.

...pwedeng sumabit sa jeep.

...pwedeng umalis ng bahay na di pa nagsusuklay. gusot ang damit at walang dala.

...walang ginagawa sa bahay.

...pwedeng makipagsapakan pag gusto nila. makakahanap pa ng reresbak.

...walang pakialam kung naka-ilang extra rice na sila.

...kahit anong bukaka, di nasisilipan.

...pwede na rin ang naghihikaw, nagmamanicure na itim, nagpapalda na checkered at nagski-skinny jeans.

...pag skin-head, di na kailangan ng shampoo at conditioner. mabilis nakakatapos maligo.

...pagbyahe, konti lang dala. pwede kasi mag-ulit ng pantalon at ng shorts.

...ok lang na makalat ang gamit. kahit di maglinis ng ilang taon, wala silang pakialam.

...at higit sa lahat: MABUTI PA ANG LALAKE, HINDI NABABAGO ANG APELYIDO PAG NAGPAPAKASAL!

Im not fat..I'm just big boned!

Yeah, right!

Is being fat a decease? Why is being fat such a big deal to some people? Are we getting much of the space you think you should be occupying? Are you perfect because you don't have any bulges in your body? Why do thin people always have a bad comment against fat people?

I am fat. I admit that. I know that. So you don't have to remind me every single moment that we see each other that I am. I eat. Everyone does. Fat people eat not because they want to get even fatter. Fat people eat because they are human just like you thin people. Food is one of the most important necessity in life. You cannot prevent a fat person to eat because you think we actually want to gain more weight. We eat because we get hungry like you. The only difference is fat people enjoy eating. We are the most well fed human beings in the world. So anyone who has a problem with that can get a Big Mac Meal and shove it down their asses!

We were made like this. Some of us are striving hard to get healthier. And yes, we are doing something about our bodies, so please give us a break. Can you look beyond the physical features for once? Stop mocking us with your harsh words, mean comments and immature gestures. We are just like everyone else. We have feelings and we get hurt. So before you actually say something, if you really want the best for us, if you sincerely think about our welfare, then instead of the criticism, help us. Be a good example if you think you are the best model of a very healthy person.

oh, by the way, your attitude sucks and you have the ugliest morals ever! Loser!

Top 10 Things I will Tell My Old Self

Inspired by the Top 10 TMR of RX, I have written my own version of WHAT TO TELL MY OLD SELF (lets see how liberating this would be):

10. Kung nag-aral ka mabuti at di ka puro gimik nong highschool ka, e di sana umabot ka sa kailangan weighted average para makapasok sa La Salle. (pero ok na rin, enjoy ka naman sa pagiging kolehiyala mo)

9. Sana nong sumesweldo ka na, nag-enroll ka na sa gym para ngayon, 24 na waistline mo. (mag-settle ka na lang sa waistline mo ngayon, hot ka pa din naman).

8. I'm so proud of you, naka-date mo si Nino Mulach (akala nya kasi kasing ganda mo si Beth Tamayo porke school mates kayo dati), naging fling mo si Zig Diaz (Jaloux nights, lasing ka at di mo alam na anak pala siya ni Romy Diaz) , hiningi pangalan at number mo ni John Apacible (dedo na nga lang sya) at lastly, boyfriend mo ngayon, dating Ang TV star. Pang-showbiz ka neng!

7. Doctor na ang ex-bf mo nong college. Dapat kasi nagpakadalubhasa ka na lang sa kanya, e di sana libre na pagpapagamot mo at ng buong pamilya mo. (ok lang, nambababae naman yon e. kawawa naman asawa nya)

6. Sana you gave priority to him, e di sana magkasama pa din kayo ngayon. Di ka namromroblema sa mga bagay-bagay sa buhay mo! (Hayy naku, basta ako, maka-graduate lang ang pamangkin ko, ok na ko...pangit nya ha!)

5. Dapat naghanap ka pa ng ibang trabaho dati, 5 taon ka na dyan, wala naman nangyayari sa career mo! (kaya ko pa...kinakaya ko pa!)

4. Magipon ka ng pera. Kailangan mo magpunta ng ibang bansa ngayon taon na to. Sayang naman passport mo. Nakatago na lang sa baul mo. Lumarga ka naman!

3. Tigilan mo kakaisip kung paano ka pa papayat. Di ka na papayat pa. Hanggang ganyan na lang talaga. May edad ka na at mabagal na ang metabolism mo. Basta, wag mo lang tigilan ang pag-eexercise at dapat hinay hinay lang sa pagkain. Basta nagkakasya ka sa damit mo, magaan ang pakiramdam mo at di ka nagkakasakit, ok na yon.

2. Marami kang kaibigan, sa dami ng kaibigan mo, dapat alam mo na kung sino ang tunay at hindi. Wag mong pag-aksayahan ng panahon ang mga walang kwenta mong kaibigan at bigyan mo ng halaga yon mga totoo sa yo. (oo nga naman, di sila kawalan!hmp!)

1. You are not alone. You have people who loves and cares for you very much. Let them love and care for you the way they can. Dont expect too much from them. Do not demand them to love and care for you the way you want them to. Love and care for them back.

Friendships

This year, I found my life more focused on my friends. Friends from high school and college, old friends and new friends as well. My relationship with them has been tested by time, distance and situations. Thanks to Facebook, I have found the people who has been a big part of my life. I have found my bestest friends who I lost touch years ago. So, this blog will be dedicated to my so called "friends".


Last month, I never thought I would be able to be this close to this female friend. Lets call her Ms. Suburbs. I always found her mysterious and very quiet, but after our Iloilo Trip/ Church hopping, we became close. We shared a lot of stories about life and love over coffee. We discovered how much fun it is to be in each other's company. When I transferred to the Suburbs, where we became neighbors, she showed me around and taught me the tricks and trade of commuting to and from our place. I'm actually glad she became a good friend. I'll always be thankful for her wisdom when it comes to problems of the heart. I'll never forget what she said about me being whole before I can give my heart to someone again. She was right.


The other female friend that I miss the most is Ms. Micro. Our names get mixed up a lot of times. She was my constant companion going to clubs and other places we can party. She was the coolest. I often sleep at her house after an overnight gimmicks and then hang-out with her cool mom too. Ill never forget the time that we were so drunk, we ended up sleeping at the parking lot outside White Avenue. We were always there for each other and whenever we get to hang-out together, we never, never had a dull moment. That's because we know how to par-teee!!!


The dearest of them all, is my BFF. Let's call her Apple. Ever since the day we met, I knew we were meant to be best of friends. Specially when we started going to work and going home together. Almost everyday. She's just plain crazy. Her laugh is actually contagious and her kindness is inspirational. She and her hubby were the perfect example of a perfect marriage. They inspired me to work on my own relationship so that i can have that stability I've always wanted in my life. However, fate plays with people sometimes. She somehow changed and it left me feeling abandoned. Things happened, stories were told, words were spoken and we felt a large rip on our friendship. It felt like I lost a sister. And just like sisters, we are trying to build that friendship again. She's the only person who knew all the details of my life and she is a big part of who I turned out to be after that terrible storm I went through. She is just the person I want to have around until I get old.

My best friend arrived from abroad too. We have been best friends for 17 years. We both have failed relationships and we both moved on. I am the godmother of her son and i hope she would be my kid's godmother too..soon..we have the same likes in bags and we are so addicted too shoes. We love strolling at the mall and just chit chatting all the way.non-stop! thats what I love about our relationship, no matter the distance, no matter how long we dont see each other and no matter how many people become part of our lives, when we see each other, its just us.best friends.forever.


2 weeks ago, my high school friends held a little get together. I met up with Jb and Lailani and had a fantastic time. It was like high school all over again. That's what I love about meeting up with old classmates. They bring out the past in me that I love so much. And at the end of this week, I'll get to see my college friends as well. Oh, I cant wait to see my gals!


Just as friendships go stronger, there are friendships gone sour. Lets see. When a person who you thought was your friend suddenly stabs you at the back by talking shit about you without knowing the whole story. People who you considered friends but then again, tells you how your life is such a waste but never looks at their own lives. People who thinks of themselves perfect, because they thought that everything they do is good but is mean to other people. People who becomes your friend because you have the money, you know some people and they can get something from you. People who you treat as friends, being there when they need you but then if you are asking for help, will leave you in the cold. THEY know who they are...and God bless their souls.


I am a friend to anyone and everyone. Treat me with respect and I will respect you back. Trust me like I trust you. If you don't want to be my friend, I do not care. I don't need another person to waste my life with.


Like the famous quote says: "Build new friendships but cherish the old ones."

Fruits!

So I was on a diet for 14 days. During that 2 weeks, i haven't eaten so much fruit in my life. And now that the diet is finally over, I am addicted to fruits already. And because of this, I have discovered a delicious way to satisfy all my cravings. FRUITAS! They actually have a wonderful list of shakes, juices, salads and iced candy and they're all made from fresh fruits. And what I really, really love is their Fruit Salad. Grabe, for P55.00 only, you will have a big cup of different sliced fruits covered with either yogurt or milk (choose yogurt, its healthier). As in super sarap and its super healthy. I have a sweet tooth and yogurt is kinda maasim, but still, the freshness and ripeness of fruits complicated the yogurt taste..refreshing and satisfying. Oh, and they have this iced candy in fruit flavors. P9.00 lang! Super siksik and taba ng iced candy nila. Flavorful pa. Basta, basta, its super sarap. And this will be my after gym food starting tomorrow...OK, im craving for it right now...yummy!
