On Love Bug

I am never good with gift giving. For birthday and Christmas gifts, I usually give gift certificates or ask them what they want. Or if it isn't their birthday yet and they want something but have doubts of getting it, I get it for them and tell them it is an advance present. At least I know my money did not go to waste and that they appreciate what I got.

It is the time of the year once again. The time wherein couples flaunt their affections towards their partners. It is like Korea everywhere wherein whichever side you look there are peoples in-twos with googly eyes.

In my whole existence I have only been in a relationship once during the 14^th of February. It was hell. I felt pressured that I had to get something due to peer pressure and media. Thank God for friendly friends for their ideas and I survived.

I am glad that I do not have the trouble to go through that pressure this year. I just have to wear blinders to block out the ants all around. Then again, it would be a welcome surprise to hear your voice. A card with rose would be too much to experience heaven here on earth.

Great, the annual love bug has bitten me once again.

On Go Signal

You make me do things which I never thought I could accomplish. Even if I am tired, I find the energy within me to continue. Despite all the adversities I encounter I continue to fight. Some say I am crazy for wasting my time since you are a dead end. But what can I do, I fell in love.

I may be stupid for falling. Falling in love is so hard on the knees (literally and figuratively). I am currently under rehabilitation strengthening myself after the fall. I am excited for our reunion. On the other hand I am afraid. Sacred that things will not be the same.

I have the go signal to run. Now if only my knee would cooperate and let me run like a cheetah. For now I must train movement, not muscles. No pressure. When I am ready, I will be back. When I say go I hope and pray that you will welcome me with open arms.

On Catching Up

Hello champola!

What’s up ketchup?

How are you doing, kambing?

Hope all is well, shovel.

I am sorry, strawberry.

I am sort of restless cutest.

So long, pagong!

On Turn of Tides

The other week I got a call from a recruiter. I do not remember submitting anything recently. I guess they are updating their records.

On my way to work last Tuesday I was pondering that I might actually reach a decade in my current job. I am on my 6th year and running. The company offers opportunities to grow. It is just a matter on how I act to it that will make the difference. Why would I transfer to a different company and build myself again? Why should I go through the hassle.


Then the unexpected happened. I got a call. I took the test and underwent the HR interview. Apparently my chicken penmanship and imagination made sense and I passed both according to an insider. Next in line is a panel interview then a call interview from an overseas client.

Kakaiba KA talaga. Whenever I am at the brink of accepting my situation you turn things around. Don't fear, just believe. :)

On Second Monthsary

Today marks the second month of after my operation. My condition is better compared to the first week of hell when I cannot hardly move my leg even a single millimeter. At present, I am more mobile. No step-slide and shuffling when walking on flat surfaces. As for ramps, I am more cautious around them since my balance is kinda wobbly. The stairs is still a challenge. In fairness I can alternate my steps already but it feels awkward. I need to bend my knee more!

I should be happy with my progress. However, deep down there is this not so good feeling. I should let down my defense mechanism instinct.

After 2 months, flexion increased and lag decreased. I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday. :)
