In this corner.
Forgive me for I have sinned. It's been a month since my last gym session.Visited the new gym that's located a couple of blocks away from the old one.Yeys:- the building it's located in is new (think Fitness First in Robinson's Summit)
- it's not too crowded still (vs Fitness First in Robinson's Summit)
- the AC's not turned all the way up
- there's a water heater in the shower
- the picture windows offer a good view of the city
Boos:- the water heater's not working yet
- the women's bathroom is kinda claustrophobic
- the women's bathroom has a bit of a smell
- the ab exercise chair is located near the reception
- the gym's a bit farther from the office

1. YOUR ROCK STAR NAME: (first pet and fave perfume)* Marcy CK One Summer (eh?)2. YOUR MOVIE STAR NAME:(grandfather/grandmother on your dad's side, your favorite candy)* Baw Gummi (parang ayoko nang ituloy.)3. YOUR "FLY GIRL/GUY" NAME: (first initial of first name, first two or three letters of your middle name)* J. So (this is pathetic.)
4. YOUR DETECTIVE NAME: (favorite color, favorite insect)* Black Spider (...)5. YOUR SOAP OPERA NAME: (middle name, city where you were born)* So Manila (I should stop this now.)
6. YOUR STAR WARS NAME: (the first 3 letters of your last name, first 2 letters of your first name, first 2 letters of dad's maiden name and first 3 letters of the town you grew up in.)* Ong Jokaman (haha, sounds very reggae.)7. Terrorist Name: (middle name spelled backwards, your dad's maiden name spelledbackwards)* Os Wak (sounds more like a Star Wars name than a terrorist. maybe I'll just wear a mask and call myself "Darth Vader.")8. SUPERHERO NAME: ("The", your favorite color, favorite drink)* The Black Sparkling Red Grape Juice (can I go home now please?)
Service with a smile.
Model Earthlings who seem to be too happy with their jobs:7. The occasional happy cabbie - They're happy, talkative, cool-tempered cab drivers with a sense of humor. These cabbies will even thank you before you get out of the car.
6. The happy waiter at Lola Ina's Restaurant, Seaside, Macapagal Highway - He goes beyond the call of duty to make sure that every customer in the restaurant has his/her orders done right and delivered to the table on time, water glasses filled, bowls for discarded shells emptied, etc. His motherly nature makes me wonder if he's gay.
5. Ace - He's one of the security guards stationed in the lobby downstairs (Rufino Building). He scrambles at the sight of anybody he knows who works in the building to hold the elevators for him/her. The photo in his ID shows a younger Ace wearing an army beret, and he smiles and greets people all the time -- even when it's not the Christmas season. He doesn't want to be called "Manong;" he wants to be called "Ace."
4. "Smiley" (the MAPSA stationed at one of the small intersections in Dela Rosa St,, Makati City) - Kinda hard to believe that this Yellow Smurf never seems to carry a ticketing booklet and there's just this peaceful smile on his face whenever he's standing there, happily directing traffic. He even smiles at the drivers.
3. "Manong Guard ng Union" (the security guard formerly stationed in Unionbank Rufino Branch) - He greeted customers with a 'Good Morning, Ma'am / Sir' upon entrance and a 'Thank You, Ma'am / Sir' upon exit. Not only that, he greeted with a warm smile, like all the customers were friends. He also sold great-tasting polvoron on the side. Too bad he got transferred to the Unionbank branch across, and disappeared after a couple of months. I bumped into him at the Dela Rosa Walkway one time and he still recognized me.
2. "Smiley Guard" (the security guard stationed in Greenbelt 3 basement parking near Linea Italia) - He smiles all the time and looks a cross between the happy MAPSA mentioned in No. 4 and billiards champ Efren "Bata" Reyes. His trademark line: "Good Evening, Ma'am / Sir. Welcome to Ayala Center. Pakibukas lang po ng bag. Pasensya na po."
1. JunBoy Leonor - The Dawn's drummer since the band started in the early 80's. There's just this I-am-just-sooo-happy look on his face when he's beating the 'ol thin cans, a closed-eyes-smile that makes you smile back subconsciously even when you're getting sick of Jett Pangan belting out "Salamat..."
