Life is Not as Hard

The past few weeks, I have been incessantly complaining about how fucked up this (my) world is. Turns out, it could get a gazillion times worse... and I am already being cut some slack.

Add to the what I thought was already a hell start-of-the-week last week, an even more unfortunate end-of-week struck every facet of my being: physical, emotional, personal, professional and financial. Let's begin...

Wednesday... after being fed up with the stuff I will have to do the next couple of weeks, I finally decided to start boxing at Maic's Gym. It was amazing! I never thought exercise could be this fun! The whole experience was a stress reliever so much so that the very next day, I ordered a pair of kick-ass boxing shoes from Nike online. Downside is, though I felt fit and sexy, my back took an extreme beating that I didn't have much mobility the next few days. That's the price to pay to be beautiful.

Thursday... despite lacking mobility, I still played in our Office Basketball Friendly at a nearby court. If the office day wasn't long enough, now my aching back was contending with my swollen knees and thighs for most the most painful muscle/joint area.

Still not heeding my body's call to rest, I still hungout after basketball with some awesome friends. The result: me clipping a parked uber expensive Nissan Murano on the way home. I won't disclose the details, but basically I had to pay an arm and a leg for the damages, depleting all the savings I have, and hassling my sister, brother-in-law and dad in the process.

The whole thing was a wake up call. I need to grow up.

I am lucky to have a supportive family that could've just let me suffer the consequences of my action, but they helped out. No matter how small or big it was to their eyes, they played a part in not letting me get screwed. I may have lost all my money and one of my dear lenses to that accident, but I did find out that no matter how dysfunctional our family is, family is still family, and "dysfunctional" is the new "cool".

Wow! So much shit and I haven't even gone to my jam-packed Saturday Karaoke, Sunday Photoshoots and Monday Harbour Day! Will just do that after the jump. For now, I bid you an image that says...


"I'ma getcha, bitch!"
