Laid on the hard "bed"
Stood up for a CR break
Liquids out, Inhaled
Laid on the hard "bed"
Headphones on to mask the noise
Positioned leg left
Slowly I went up
Inside the machine I go
Hola, MRI
The soothing music
Was drowned by the random sounds
Keep still, Katitay
30 minutes passed
Movement out from the machine
That was it, pansit
Results please be kind.

On Facebook Status
You were my high school infatuation. If I remember correctly we got introduced through common friends. My barkada which was composed of all girls was the counterpart of your barkada which was obviously all boys. Come Prom, I opted to ask you to escort me instead of the obvious choice. You gladly said “YES”, and you in turn asked me to accompany you in your Prom as well. Of course I was kilig to the bones.
After the unexpected event two months ago there was no follow-up. I took the initiative but you did not take the opportunity. Thus I decided not to pursue further. Lo and behold, you started the communication -- cause you needed something. Naturally, as a friend, I directed you to the right path and you were grateful. For me that is enough.
Then again, how come I felt something when my friend mentioned that you are always some girl who is your significant other? I know you are into flings, so I guess that is just one of them cause per FB, you are still single. But, how reliable is that relationship status anyway?

On Headlights
Stupidity strikes once again.
Pa-uwi na ako galing Ultra. Kakaliko ko lang sa San Miguel Ave. galing Julia Vargas tapos mayroong enforcer na sumesenyas na tumabi. Nung papalapit na ako tsaka ko na-realize na ako nga talaga ang pinapatabi kasi wala ng ibang sasakyan sa likod ko. Oh noes.
Enforcer: Ma'am according to article blah blah, section blah blah, bawal po na walang headlights.
Me: *checks* Ahh, wala po ba akong headlights?
Enforcer: Malayo palang kitang kita na walang headlights.
Me: *opens headlights* Oo, nga noh.
Enforcer: Naku Ma'am, kailngan ko makita ang lisensya yo.
Me: Talaga? E asa likod e.
Enforcer: Ma'am pakita po.
Sister: Baka naman po pwedeng warning lang? New driver kasi.
Enforcer: Lisensya po Ma'am.
Me: *gets out to get license*
Enforcer: Ma'am saan po ba kayo galing?
Me: Ultra
Enforcer: Naku Ma'am ang layo yo na pala, buti kung sa parking lang.
Me: Hindi ko po napansin. Maliwanag po kasi dito.
Pagpasok ko uli sa coche wala yung enforcer.
Me to sister: What if i-go ko na ito?
Sister: ATEEEE!
Dumating yung enforcer.
Enforcer: Ma'am lisensya po.
Me: *gives license* So kuya ano po bang patakaran sa no headlights?
Enforcer: Ma'am, may dalawang options po kayo.
Me: Ano po iyon?
Enforcer: Kukunin ko ang lisensya yo at bibigyan ko kayo ng temporary. Tapos kukunin yo sa Pasig.
Me: Ahh, ganoon ba? Hindi ko kasi talaga napansin. First time ko lang kasi hawakan tong coche.
Enforcer: Opo Ma'am, baka mahassle kayo kasi 5-working days yun e.
Me: Pero kung yun ang patakaran, e di ganun.
Enforcer: Ma'am baka magulat kayo kasi kelangan pang tubusin.
Me: E, pasensya po, kung yun naman po ang patakaran.
Enforcer: Ma'am may 2 options po tayo...
Me: Ano po iyon? Kung yun yung sa patakaran, e di ganun.
Enforcer: Ma'am, sigurado po kayo?
Me: Pasensya po Sir, alam ko na mali ako...
Enforcer: Ma'am, inuulit ko po, may 2 options po tayo....
Me: Pero ayan na oh, nakabukas na. Baka ok na?
Enforcer: May 2 options po tayo, delikado kasi yung walang headlights.
Me: Kung yun nga po ang sa patakaran...pero ok na siguro ngayon nakabukas na oh...
Enforcer: Sige Ma'am, next time po siguraduhin yong bukas ang headlights yo, cause kasi yan ng accidents.
Enforcer: *hands me my license*
Me: Salamat po.

On Second Opinion
Today marks the second month of the eventful day when I landed on both of my folded knees. The pain is not that grave anymore. I can run, but I cannot sprint. I can jump, but I cannot leap. Since it has been THAT long and the pain has not completely subsided, I decided to get a second opinion.
Ortho did not look at my x-ray. He just looked at the reading, asked me questions regarding what happened, pinched my knee and moved my leg like a puppet. Based from that he concluded that I have ACL. He looked so sure about it. Parang wala lang, ACL yan. Taena!
After my consultation with Ortho, I was endorsed to the Rehab doctor. Rehab doctor read the "letter" from Ortho and basically asked the same questions. This time around Rehab checked the x-ray. Then she created a physical therapy plan for my left knee and tight quads/hams. Hello to another 6 sessions of PT! But take note that ACL related exercises/activities were not included in the plan.
Oh well towel. Results of the MRI on August 23 will have the answer. I wish and pray that this is just a nuisance alarm. A wake up call not to overwork my body. No, I would like to think that this is just a wake up call to be more diligent in taking care of my body and to take time for strengthening and flexibility.
Kuya Jess isinusuko ko na po ang lahat sa Inyo.
Kayo na po ang bahala sa akin.
Salamat.
