Makeshift Muscles
Gym in front of the garage.
In a small-yet-pricey Makati subdivision, someone has set up a homemade gym. I assume a driver owns it because it is by the cars. And no one living there would be caught dead using such a charming health facility. I know, I know, I'm generalizing.
Improvisation: salvaged wood, a metal bar, two cement-filled milk tins.
