Enter Ivan

Hey, it’s Ivan another member of Juicebox. Yeah I’ve never posted before so I guess this is a good way to introduce myself. I had a bad experience tonight (which I will be blogging about) so if I come across as angry, my apologies.

So its been three days into spring break and I needed a place to work out for a week. I called up Planet Fitness (my old gym) and they said I couldn’t start up my account again unless I paid the $50 start up fee so I’m like fuck that. I don’t want to go to Planet Fitness anyways.

Look at those purple ass machines.

Purple ass lady.

So I decide to go to Bally Total Fitness in South San Francisco and use their seven day free trial. Perfect right? A free gym for the week. Little did I know that the gym was run by...

douchebags.

Once I walk in to the gym and show the check in lady that I this was my first time here, she picks up the batline and calls in a 8 foot tall salesman who puts his arm around me like we we’re old buddies. He starts acting all friendly and starts showing me around the gym. Pretty nice. Everything I need for the week. Then he takes me into one out of the eight cubicles used to set up membership deals and offers me an ultimatum. I either take the seven day free trial, or a sign up for a discounted membership. Yeah. A discounted 36 month membership contract. Bitch are you smoking reefer? I just want to do a seven day free trial and you want me to sign a contract for 36 months? I spent 20 minutes trying to get it past his head that I’m not going to sign up for 3 years and I just want my free trial. He looked me in the eye and said in a bitch-ass voice, “You aren’t even serious about joining this gym are you?” Fuck you. I might have joined during the summer if you didn’t try to force me into signing a 3 year contract and give me attitude about it.

So in conclusion, please stay away from Bally unless you want to be non-stop harassed in and out of the gym. My friend still gets calls from them since he canceled his membership a year ago. There’s also a rumor going around that Bally is going bankrupt. (It has been confirmed numerous Bally Total Fitness gyms are closing down around the country) It would explain why that asshole was so adamant in making me pay a thousand dollars upfront for the contract. So please readers, don’t let Bally jack your money and close down before you can step on the treadmill.

Fuck you.

Wonderful night.

Angelo here.

Things have been good. I've been getting back to guitar a lot. I want to experience that feeling of awe when I play the guitar again. The feeling where I just can't stop playing and I'm amazed what kind of things I can do with a guitar. I also want to vary my styles too now, 'cause now I really want to try out metal music and ukulele songs too. So I don't know where to start.

Last weekend, I went to a concert in Orange County that featured a pop group in South Korea, Wonder Girls. Honestly, I bought the tickets without that much knowledge of their songs, but once I started to indulge myself into their music, I'm starting to really like them. And that also opened up a liking towards Korean culture. But about the concert, I really enjoyed it. It felt really intimate just seeing them interact with each other while they were on stage. It was prettty cute. Plus So Hee was there. We were also seated fourth row, so I was pretty darn close too. I almost touched them, man! But crazy fans pushed me out of the way. Shiiiiet.

We also visited UC Irvine. I really liked their campus. Also making me thinking to try to transfer. My friend who visited with me is actually really trying to transfer now, 'cause of how cool the school was. Haha, but this weekend was pretty chill. And for now, here's pictures of Wonder Girls. :) Pictures taken by Danny B.
