On Conditionally Cleared

After two weeks, my ortho and rehab doctors conditionally cleared me with great hesitation. Obviously napilitan lang sila because I did not pass the duck walk challenge. Also they would not know if I play or not and as if they can stop me from playing. They just told me to expect that I will feel pain afterwards. If the pain is different I need to go back instantly.

I know that pushing myself would put myself in greater danger. But this is a risk I am willing to take. Risks need to be taken to discover how far I can go. It is better to take the risk because whatever the outcome maybe I can accept (eventually) rather than failing to try and thinking what could have been.

As they say... Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

Fight!

On Things to Do When Bored

1. Go to the pantry and grab something to drink and eat.
2. Go to the CR and splash face with water.
3. Do desk exercises/stretching.

If these 3 fail, get out and walk to the nearby establishments. :)

On Puzzles

Since I could not engage in physical activities for x number of weeks I turned to brain activity. I got this 1000 pieces jigsaw puzzle. Positive thinking, at least my motor skills and hand-eye coordination are put to the test. In addition, it helps keep my mind active and alert.

I believed it is serving its purpose because instead of sulking that I cannot do two things that I love I am preoccupied at putting the right pieces at the right places. Hopefully this jigsaw puzzle is not the only thing that I could complete. I wish in the future I could fix my life and put things in the right perspective so that I could honestly say I am really complete.

On The Unexpected

My phone was inside the left front pocket of my jeans. While I was walking it vibrated. I ignored it because I thought it was a text message. However, it vibrated again and again. Thus, I fished it out from my pocket and the unexpected happened when I saw the caller id. I held my breath as my heart suddenly skipped a beat. Unexpectedly, the ghost made his presence felt. Once again he brought chills to my spine aka kilig.

Indeed the best things in life are unexpected - because there were no expectations.

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.
