On Broken

When people first saw me in crutches they could not help but ask what happened to me. I appreciate the concern but there comes a point wherein I got tired of explaining what happened. In the countless years I have engaged in physical activities July 11 was the first time I seriously got injured. I want to erase that memory on how I tore a ligament in a none bearing just for fun game lang.. Ang saklap. 

Three weeks ago, I graduated from crutches. Now I am using a single cane. But still I get stares and questions from people. Maybe it is due to the sterile strip under my chin due to an unfortunate event that transpired last Christmas. 

A while ago on my first day of work for 2012, the security guard asked me: Ma'am nahulog kayo?

I replied: 

Wag mo nang itanong kung bakit ako nabalian ng buto. 

Malamang nung nahulog ako sa'yo.
'Di mo ko sinalo.

Fail.

On Uneasy

I want to let go

But can’t find the right timing

Just can’t let it out

All at my lonesome

I finally released it

I am so relieved

Feels good to let go

Of something I’ve held on to

Sarap ng feeling!

On Technology

FaceTime is amazing! I saw and talked to my cousin in New Zealand. She toured me around her place. She introduced me to the people she is with. They were all in red in celebration for New Year. I also saw my aunt and cousins over at Chicago. They were in red as well. They were in a school to celebrate New Year’s Eve. When 12mn (their time) struck they toasted to another new year ahead. My youngest cousin even danced and sang “Maligayang Pasko”. Super cute!

I am thankful for Technology. It makes keeping in touch with people on the other side of the globe way easier. 

Now, should I buy an Iphone 4s or Ipad 2 or Iphone?:))

On 2012 Priorities

“Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some 5 balls in the air. They are WORK, FAMILY, HEALTH, FRIENDS and SPIRIT and you are keeping all these in the air.You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other 4 balls – FAMILY, HEALTH, FRIENDS and SPIRIT – are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, niched, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it. “

Note to self: Value has a value only if its value is valued. – Bryan Dyson, former CEO of Coca Cola

So 2012 and the years to come is for working efficiently during office hours and leaving on time. It is time to prioritize the required time for my family, friends and have proper rest.

Let's do this!
