On Rain

It has been continuously raining the whole day. I do love the rain. When I was a kid I used to make those paper boats and place them on the flowing water and watch them drift away. Baha na pala! Lol.

The the waterfall (para magka-grass man lang ang fields) and the cool breeze that the rain brings is appreciated. As long as it is not too much to cause floods. Since floods cause traffic which then results to a 1.5 hour travel time from work. :|

Life is just like the weather. One minute it's so sunny and cheery, then it will be rainy and gloomy.

On Titles

I just got off from the phone with an co-worker/friend who has been assigned onsite for the longest time. After our "how are you's?" this conversation happened:

Her: Uy, parang masaya ka ahh. May boyfriend ka na noh?
Me: *silence*
Her: Di nga, sino?
Me: You do not need to be in a relationship to be happy.
Her: Oo nga, actually naisip ko din yan na pwede naman maging masaya... pero di nga, may boyfriend ka na noh!!!
Me: Single and in a relationship are just titles. Your heart determines your true relationship status.
Her: Hahahaha, so ano na?
Me: Alam mo... good relationships dont just happen, they take time, patience and two people who truly want to be together.
Her: So sino?
Me: Ano ba 'tong mga friends ko, bat puro tungkol sa relationships ang pinopost nila sa wall nila.
Her: Sira! Akala ko naman sinasagot mo yung mga tanong ko!!!

On the Perfect Catch

You had your opportunity but you were not courageous enough to take the chance. The moments we spent with each other and whatever transpired or not is between us alone. Those were certainly good and exciting times. Those memories which I have placed in a tiny box and stored in a shelf deep in my heart. Somewhere down there only to be dig up when needed.

Now as you are about to journey to another chapter of your life, if I may ask... if you cannot forget the one that got away, can you love the One you are with?

Just do your jealous fiance a favor and don't go fishing after me cause I know I am still the perfect catch.

On Father's Day

You are my ally
Me and you in tandem
Versus the other ladies

When I'm feeling down
You know how to make smile
No words can express

I am your daughter
Thank you dad for having me.
I love you so much.

On PFPS, MPS & Plantar Fasciitis

Apparently my bruised knees aren't my only "problem". The uncomfortable feeling that I experienced whenever I take my first few steps in the morning had a deeper meaning. The tight muscles and stiff joints after Ultimate and Basketball was not simply due to exhaustion. There is a scientific/medical explanation for the pain.

Say hello to Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS), Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) and Plantar Fasciitis. What are those? All I know that the first two are related to the knees. Basically, it is the discomfort I feel in my knees because there are two bones that rub each other or something. In addition, there is this muscle or tissue that is weak. As for Plantar Fasciitis, it is related to the feet. It is either I'm flat footed or have falling arches.

Sadly, there is no direction solution for this. However, there are many things I can do to address the so-called problems. Ice is my new bff. Hello to 2 hours rehab and home exercises. On the lighter side, I can play. I just do not know what kind of pain or what-so-ever I will feel afterwards. Well, time to choose my battles carefully.

Fight!
