Family First

I saw my boxing instructor at SM yesterday. He was all smiles and obviously have grown healthy. I mean his stomach was obviously not taken cared of.

He asked me if I still go to the gym for my boxing lessons. Yeah I boxed for two months. Someone gave me a two-month free session. But that was it. I could no longer afford a P2,500 monthly visit despite of the fact that it was healthy for me. To be honest about it, the P2,500 could feed my family.

I told him I haven't been there for so long. I was only there last year.

"I resigned," my instructor declared. He wanted to focus on something more necessary- supporting the family. And I thought I was alone.

We said our goodbyes. I remembered he still owed me P500.

To Gym Or Not To Gym

Here's a good excuse for not going to the gym anymore:

5. Nowadays, people work out way too much, and they look like invaders from another planet. A guy who works out two hours a day—focusing on his chest because he thinks it’s sexy—you can’t dress him, even if you send him to the best designer or stylist in the world.

from men.style.com Follow the Rules: Jean Touitou - The opinionated A.P.C. designer on bad art, what makes a good guest, and men who work out too much.

The real score:

• I am sour graping because I can no longer afford to go to the gym.
• My laziness overpowers me.
• I've been tortured enough already.
