Pamatay 'to - Pre ! 

 .....  Seriously, tho  ....

Just another busy evening at the Calisthenics Classes [take your pick - Sthenos or Khalos ?} with several batches of students filling in the 6-7, 7-8, 8-9, and 9-10 pm time slots.

I barely managed the 6-7 pm Stenos and the 7-8 pm Khalos classes yesterday evening, with Mau Gonzaga as Gym Guru.  FYI, by "barely managed", i meant - I died - ha ha ha  ....

Seriously again  ...

'Twas just Extremely Tough, as always, and the only measure of relief I got, was that, at least, I was with several number people [fr varied backgrounds]  ha ha ha !

Mind You, I simply could NOT take B-t-Scenes images during the two sessions I attended, ergo, the few random photos here are from the Khalos class held from 9-10 pm, during which time, I had already unwound and was just trotting back and forth from the Gym to the Indoor Football Turf, on the other side of the SPARTA facility - "making isyoso" and "chikka" w some "football acquiantences" on the football turf/training area.

 { KSM  - Keys School Manila, had rented out the 4-6 pm time slot, and a group of football aficionados had rented out the 6-12 pm time slot }

Yup, that is KSM Football Program Director Steph Permanes {below} taking it easy between breaks.

We never fail to have light conversation, on the occasion, that I am in SPARTA, during a KSM football training session.

FYI, Steph won a UAAP Championship, a UAAP Regular Season MVP Award and a UAAP Finals MVP Awards, with the UP Fighting Maroons [way back] - ibang klase, pre.

Following below, are a few more "randoms" from that 9-10 pm Calos class .....

Erika, Jerome, Crissy, Gym Guru ->MAU, 

Oscar, MJ, Mayumi, and Hannah

O basta, puwede Sira Ulo, Weird, o Baliw - Huwag Lang Malungkot !! 
Oops....dapat yata may nag-CR muna, bago ko pinitik 'to ....?
 

Here, during a break - "bagsak na si MJ" {foreground} ...

 Trust me, I Experience that often.

Tail-end part of the work out.... 
when the "worst" is over at last

 Mau
Killer Workout - done !

Crissy, Erika, and MJ

Huwag ka
Seryoso'tong grupo na to !!
minsan a las siete ng umaga nasa gyma sila !
ngayong Martes, siguro di nila kaya yoong umaga  ...
ang hirit nila 9-10 pm !!!  deym !

Haya's in red and Kitkat's in blue

A group, represented by Ginnie Clarino, used the turf from 6-12 midnight {I left the facility around 10 past}.

Pleasant to have bumped into former UAAP Football Champ {DLSU keeper} Haya Ibarra and her buddy Kitkat Montelibano {ADMU keeper} {who has a few playing years left with Ateneo}, along with former UST Tiger Popoy Clarino. 

FYI, Popoy has been UP Head Coach Anto Gonzales' coaching assistant the past four years, and come Feb., 2017, will be at Anto's side, once more, when the Maroons defend their UAAP Crown.

Before I go, allow me to express my gratitude to SPARTA Head Honcho Amanda Fernandez for everything she has "accorded" me, as of late - "yon na lang ang masasabi ko nagayon".

Now, this post might touch [or joke about] the matter of Killer workouts and have a parting photo of a gutsy young lady entrepeneur with Killer looks   ....

But this blog post is way beyond that.

The context of Gratitude, Leveling Up, Challenging One's Self to be Better, and Stronger [not only in the gym] - every single day - even, if only in the smallest of increments, is foremost in my psyche, as I finally call this a post.

No Gain, No Gain, Thank You, Thank You.
