Come Crash Into Me

This was, I think, karma for taking three-hour long lunch breaks. Heehee.

Diane, Eloise and I were coming back from lunching at Super Bowl and parked our ride in front of our building. Since it was raining very hard we decided to just run for it; the foyer was really only a short distance from the parking lot. I think I only sprinted about three meters before slipping on the cement.

You know what's funny about slipping? There's this millisecond when you're in denial about it: I'm not really slipping, this is just my hyperactive imagination! Then you hit ground and you have to accept that fact. Fortunately, no one else except my friends was there to see me in my Funniest Home Videos moment ; unfortunately, it was a pretty bad fall and I injured myself quite nicely. I have cuts on both my hands, an eight-inch gash and a wound on my left forearm (collectively looking like a sinister exclamation point), and several abrasions on my left leg. My hip was aching a bit so I had to go home early and also absent myself the next day.

I've had my share of these little accidents already, so this is just another entry in my logbook. I once slipped on the stairs of the S&H building in high school, and also once in the parking lot underneath Eastwood, plus the numerous knee injuries I incurred in grade school when we would play langit-lupa during recess. The most embarrassing so far was early in college, in Philcoa on the way to a friend's birthday party. We were scrambling for a bus ride and I slipped yet again. One second I was running, the next second I was lying perfectly flat on the bus lane. Aiiieee, the mortification.

The culprits, in retrospect, are my favorite denim Chucks, whose soles I've worn to almost nothing, and my refusal to always carry an umbrella.

You are a water fairy. You are trustworthy, honest,
caring and loyal. You make a good friend but
you can be overprotective of people sometimes.
Isn't the picture lovely? I told you it would
be.

Work It

You know your boss is something out of the ordinary when she can stress you from overseas. Haaaay. But at least work is letting up a bit now. The project proposal which I'm helping prepare--and which took me away from lab work for almost a month now--is almost ready for submission. That was REALLY stressful; I was working my ass off everyday, seriously. If I didn't eat ice cream very very often to drown the pain I'd probably be as thin as... as... crap, I can't think of anyone.

I've spent so much time and effort working on this little project. And, even then, I'd get a "you're obviously out of it" from you know who. I swear, if the government refuses to fund this thing, I'm gonna... I will... uggh. Probably cry. Hahahaha.

So how is everyone doing? My blockmates and I had lunch at Gateway last Saturday, which was fun! (I miss college.) Then they went off to watch Dubai, while I went back to MSI to work and to happily appreciate that I didn't have to endure no John Lloyd. Wehehehehe. Belated happy birthday to darling Aileen.
