gma's governmental gridlock & gym gripes

with all the discussions on the stalemate, CPR, coup plots, and general breakdown, i should be saying something to add to the melee in the blogosphere? but what do i need to add? i don't like the president and all the accomodations she's been doing just to perpetuate herself in power, but please oh please, give us a viable alternative! not just another bunch of people who may have idealists in the frontline but will be easily overtaken by the cynical politicians who may be even worse than the short one.

=================================

because of these political developments, i'm reduced to doing a pierre bernard sequence from conan's show...

i cut short my gym session today, that same guy said that i wasn't doing the lat exercises properly! please oh please, would you stop with that segue? i know it's going to inevitably go into the sales talk. if someone can show me how to recuperate that P7000 for 10 sessions (P700 per 1 hour session!) to justify the cost, please let me know!

i'm doing a soft cost-benefit analysis on whether i should stay on in RCBC or just work out in robinson's:

RCBC:

Pros:

  • free towels
  • clean showers
  • free stuff (i only use the cotton buds)
  • newer looking atmosphere
  • more ab machines
  • tidier steam room
  • brighter locker rooms
  • cleaner sinks with free paper towels for the sink

Cons:

  • pestering gym instructors
  • smaller free weights area
  • less treadmills
  • no iced tea

Robinson's:

Pros:

  • free iced tea
  • bigger free weights area

Cons:

  • no free towels
  • perennially wet sinks with no towels
  • no free toiletries
  • dingy showers
  • dingy atmosphere

i'm still sticking to rcbc because the gym instructors haven't bugged me that much, but it's been 2 days now that this guy's been bugging me. the towel & shower issues in rcbc, i can overlook that if i reach my gym instructor irritation tipping point, and i do hope it won't be soon.

what id do to those gym instructors: id hiss at them, and show that my head does 360-degree turns and my nails turn into talons... maybe that will ward them away

otherwise the classic approach: hit them with my weights. *evil grin and hackle*

maybe the exorcist bit or the throwing bit may work, if they didnt have rippling muscles to hit me back with... :(

you miss darna (valentina reference), dont you? :P

Bambi said...

oh yes, i was thinking id do a pirena but she looks pretty good, but valentina is like satan's spawn. let me know if you need my morphin bit...

another pro for robinsons: you can lay yourself down on the benches in the locker room, as in matulog. sa rcbc di pwede kasi iilang pwet lang ang kasya sa tatlo nilang bench. tsaka mas maganda yung locker ng robinsons, sa rcbc masikip tsaka di hi-tech, dun ko nawala id ko.
