a trip to the ER

I have been trying to figure out how to log in to my blog account but have realized that I have been typing in the wrong user name. I forgot what I signed up for as a username and have been really lazy to retrieve the blah blahs...

It's a quiet Saturday night here in Cali. I have so tired this whole week - dealing with teachers and students, though the student part I really don't mind. But this blog isn't really all about work, it's about heading to the ER (yes, Emergency Room). This incident happened 3 weeks ago.

This is how it all started.... after being exposed to soccer by a few friends a few years back, I have become an avid fan of the game. Although I didn't care less about the game when I was younger, but having firends who were into the game really influeced me. I was a swimming,basketball, volleyball, baseball fan and the last thing on my mind was to play soccer.

I have been playing in a co-ed league for 3 months now. The people I play with are cool. It's more like the United Colors of Benneton ( we all come from different places/countries). Playing with boys at the same time reminded me of Los Borrachos back in the PI. I miss those guys/girls! I can't wait to play with them again! Anyhow, eversince I got here I haven't really been playing sports. Most of the co-workers just want to go home after work or they're just really lazy.. no wonder there's a high obesity rate here. They just don't wanna get involved in sports... they just want to watch...

When I played 3 weeks ago, I had my first leg cramp. Oh damn it hurt so bad. I didn't realize that it was a cramp. I thought I tored a tendon/muscle/cartilege. I was so scared. On the way home after the game, I could walk properly heck I even drove. But my left ankle would not bend upwards and I started to walk in a weird way after I ate dinner. I went home, thinking that I'd be fine. When I got home, darn, the electric company was doing a maintenance thingy and I had to electricity. Good thing it's summer, that I took a really cold shower. After that, I was walking dragging my leg. I tried to take a nap, but the panicky mean got to me.

I went to the ER, good thing the hospital is just two blocks away from my place. When I got there, I didn't find any parking near the ER, so I had to park my car at the other side of the hospital. Heck, I was really having a bad evening! I waited for 30 minutes, and when it was my turn the nurse asked me all the weirdest questions..... (do not even want to mention). After the nurse's station, I went to one of those rooms. The doctor asked me and all that and I had to get x-rayed. They said I was okay, but I was still worried. This is the climax of my trip to the ER.

The hot nurse assistant put a splint on my foot... I wish it lasted forever! hahaha!!! and after that he was explaining how to use crutches. He brought the crutches in and told me to stand up on those. With my height, I felt like a hanging stick. The adult crutches were too high for me, even at the shortest height that they can put into. So, I ended up with kid crutches. Imagine a 26 year old on a kids' crutches designed with dinosaurs in different colors. And to make matters worse, I had to do a ala catwalk on the way out to the ER.

I didn't think that my first trip to the ER was something to be memorable. I have never felt so embarass in my life. After exiting the ER I had to go walk towards my car with crutches. I tripped and slipped on my way so many times. Another guy passed while i was slipping. GOD!

I end here, I am gonna pawty like it's ma birthday!!!!!

OMFG!!!!!!!

I was channel surfing and bumped into this show, America's Got Talent, so mean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a show where people show their talent, regardless of age and talent. Three people(a group), just started introducing themselves by singing operah style and the X button on top of the stage buzzed. I feel sorry for them, they haven't really done their talent yet and they get booted out!!! Funny, but I feel bad for them at the same time! Just wanted to share.... over and out!

nap

Okay, i just woke up from a really long nap. i must have been THAT tired from fixing my classroom for next school year. I completely redid the whole room design from the butcher paper on the walls, the table setting, computer, etc. name it, I redid it. AND...... I disenfected everything. Since there is a state regulation that we should only use approved disenfectant for schools, I asked the custodian for bottles and bottles of stuff for disenfection. I was spraying it like crazy, that I ended up going home early because my room smelled like pine.

I can't believe the school is over for me. I'm getting sentimental.... going to miss kids who are moving and realizing that my first graders will be a little taller and a little bigger and of course be a grade higher when they come back. I just wish some of them won't grow so that they'll be forever adorable and cute. hahahhahaha.... just a wish!

My friend J.R. just called to have dinner some friends, man, I don't know...sometimes I just want to stay home. I don't have any reasons to stay home since there isn't much to do here, but I don't know why I want to stay home. I'm not tired or anything since I just "napped" for like 4 hours. hmmmm.... I'm thinking if I should follow for dinner or just cook my own food. Well, I don't really cook, it's more of experimenting or reheating food from lunch.

I'm not really good at keeping this blogg thingy updated. So whatever.......

i was meant to start blogging a few months back through the encouragement of Riane, but i never had the time to really sit down, gather my thoughts, and actually put it in print. i'm really not the type of person who would sit down and write my thoughts, rather, i'm a person who would prefer to just talk. but i don't know what's gotten into me right now, what a weird day to start blogging...
