A few months ago, I was watching a movie and a trailer of a movie starring Hugh Jackman came up. It was an action movie that had something to do with robots but it did not had any impact to me and I completely ditched it as a movie I'll just watch on DVD or wait for its showing on cable TV. Fast forward to last weekend, I got myself to watch that movie, and it was only because there were no other movies I was interested to watch, well The Three Musketeers were also showing but it was on 3D which was quite expensive and the non-3D has already passed the running time I wanted when I arrived so I had no other choice.

The movie was called Real Steel and it's about the father and son relationship as they compete in "robot wrestling". It tells the story of Charlie, played by Hugh, finding out he has a child, Max, and how their relationship grew closer through the sport and proving that it's not too late to make up for lost time. It's not just a copycat of Transformers but it is more than that. You can see how Charlie has completely matured to become a father everyone would love to have, including myself. I have to admit that I got teary-eyed which isn't a normal thing for me. The last time I had was when I watched Toy Story 3 last year.

This is definitely one of the best movies I've seen this year.

Another week passed by and I've finished 3 PT sessions with my trainer. It was very exhausting but I can see some improvements on my body!

Another thing that gets me going is that in a span of a week, I've seen a handful of eye candies already!

I can't wait to see more!

So after a week, I've underwent three sessions with a trainer at the gym and I can't believe I actually like it.

Monday was my first day. Me and my mom arrived early and I got introduced to my personal trainer. He was still busy with another client so he made me do cardio exercise at the treadmill for around 30 mins. He introduced me to the different equipment/machines that the gym offers and that's where our session ended. I still have time to explore the gym since we finished quite early and my mom attended a class so I took the opportunity to try out the equipment and also left the gym to buy an armband for my iPod. Btw, I borrowed the wireless Sony MP3 from my mom so I could listen to music at ease. I managed to buy an armband at Park Square at a cheap price. I took a shower after and I actually thought someone stole my underwear at the locker so I kinda got pissed but I just misplaced it when I searched for it at home. Good thing I have extra. The shower doors didn't have a lock which I thought was just a damage but my mom told me it was really meant to be that way so I was still hesitant to take a shower but I went through it just fine. I got to use the papaya soap my grandma gave me for Christmas!I also saw some celebrities that day and the following days!

Tuesday. I went with my mom again and that day, the trainer just performed some tests on me so he can make a program for me based on the results which was mostly poor. It was quite embarrassing to know the results so I really have to work my butt off. Nothing eventful after it and I just continued trying out the equipment.

Wednesday. Restday.

Thursday. My mom had work so I went to the gym alone this time. The trainer gave me a program to follow and I have to admit I'm a little disappointed pretty much because I felt like the program was underwhelming. I do not get to use all equipment I like and just the few ones with the program. Though I can disregard it, I have signed up for a 10 sessions of 1 on 1 training with him so I might as well follow it at least while I'm supervised. I finished quite longer this time though since he lost my original file and I had to fill out some personal details again. I scheduled the start of our sessions on Monday next week and I can't wait for that!
