when i got back to physical therapy today, i had a long lecture reminding me to elevate my foot and to minimize activities right now because we're trying to eliminate the swelling. yeah, i know, in my head, i swear, i was going "yeah, uhuh, blah, blah, blah." even worse, i gave the therapist the evil grin and laughed when he asked me where i was this past weekend. i think, he figured i was lying to him because he stretched my foot and ankle up to the max that i was limping and back onmy reliable crutches again when i headed home.
how do you actually stop the self confessed party girl to stop going out just because she broke her foot? i was running out of alibis. i can't explain.
normally, in a typical "len" world, when i was not injured, i don't even know how did i even have the time to squeeze in partying on friday, saturday and sometimes even sunday nights along with 12 to 16 hours a day fri-sat-sun weekends at work. on top of that, i am a full time student who is at school from monday to friday. sometimes, i would work from 7 am to 7pm, go home just have a change of clothes and at 9 pm, i am out in a club or holding cocktails on a local pub. and then, professional me, would show up at work the next day at 7 am with eyes all puffed up from the lack of rest and sleep. often times, i gave up my 2 fifteen minutes breaks and my 30 inutes of lunch just to get my needed snooze. that is me, normally.
lately, while i am slowly but surely, recuperating from my injury, i've been saying "yes" to numerous parties, gatherings, dates ---whatever! - --on the condition that i will not drive. meaning, these people will send someone to pick me up. and most of the time, i have three or more people calling me reminding me that they are my designated driver for that particular day and time. and since the past 30 days ago, the parties has not stop accumulating!
like the past month or so, maffia (my bestfriend from vegas) has been travelling here in los angeles on almost three consecutive weeks. and that means late nights are spent at our favorite hodori and montecarlo. on days, we're at the beach or just shopping the day away or watching movies! (by the way, she is here again in town along with d and alyssa and at hodori right now, as i am typing this --- tomorrow is either beach day or hodori day...you figure, i'm just game for it. that is why iam resting the foot right now).
just three weeks ago, i was sitting lazily sun with my feet tucked comfortably under the hazy sun with lotte at long beach's belmont shore while sipping a cup of starbucks' caramel macchiatto and spending the day away talking about love, life, future and guys.
last weekend, i was able to attend to brent's baptism ( ate rowena & kuya arnel's firstborn) in pomona under the summer like weather of 100 degrees celcius. of course, being the leo that i am, along with marivic, whose also a leo herself, we pulled in fashionably late in her bright red mercedes bench. fashionably late meant two hours late from when the party started. and as expected, when we showed up, half of my coworkers were there. i missed them. there was a lot of catching up to do, lots of food and lots of gossips and tons of fun. we stayed there until the moon set in.
and just when i thought it was over, cesar (maya's hubby) decided since we were in pomona anyway, which is 10 minutes drive to ontario mills, where the 10 and the 15 meets, we shoudl head out to 'dave and busters.' just when i was asking what in the world is there in a 'dave and buster?', i found myself pulling into a huge parking lot filled with an array of cars, and when we entered dave and busters, i was mesmerize of how awesome it was to have a wide variety of selection of things to do for adults.
i swear, the best way for me to describe it was, it was chuckie cheese's version for adults! again, i sip on strawberry daiquiri and apple martinis blissfully and sat on a bright red leathered chair, right next to the bar, while i watched my fun and spontaneous co workers (maya and cesar, marivic, ms. fab jen, herself and hubby harvey ) munched on firehouse hot buffalo wings, monstrous french fries, and gooooeey mozzarella sticks. that was heaven! no matter how tired we were, we never ran our of stories to tell and jokes to say. even the drive home was a blast.
was that over? nope, i woke up extra early on sunday because marivic bugged me to go house hunting in the heart of san fernando valley. just for starters, since we had the aweful hangover, the realtor took us for a much needed coffee and ensaymada breakfast at goldilocks. we checked out the houses, and flirted with some hunky potential neighbors (uhum!). i thought we were giving up on going out but when we decided to head to LA's chinatown on a sunday lunch at asian noodles, we could not resist the idea of shopping at chinatown for some cheap bargains. yeah, with foot swollen and aching and all, we spent the day away again shopping for chinis-ey indulgements. by the time i got home, i was exhausted.
my weekdays consisted of days with the physical therapists. yet, my cell phone did not stopped ringing from invitations of people asking if i had plans after PT. afraid that i might get in trouble with the PT, i declined the invitations one by one but failed to turn every single one of them down. monday - i had lunch at chinatown (again!), tuesday - i was at the asian mall in sunwset boulevard.
and yesterday, wednesday, i spent a lazy afternoon at ate norlita and joyce's house. feeding my self on brocolli & shrimp salad, mechado, frilipino style fried chicken, and NO rice. they just arrived from philippines and so i had a healthy dose of stories from them. there's nothing better than hot melted cheese, chilis and jalapeno dipped nachos while catching up. i tried to skipped the rice but i found myself eating bilo-bilo (filipino desert made of molded rice cake, sweetened banana & yam and tapioca) while not realizing it was already 2 am when i finally convinced them i should go home!
today, marivic and i went to costco staright from PT and just when i was entering the front door of the house, my cell ring and maffi was inviting me to meet them in hodori! i passed for he night. i needed to rest foot. yeah, right. i still had the time to give ariel a little walk around the neighborhood while watching my street at country club be filled up with star wagons. they're supposedly filming another episode of "beauty and the geek" ( they film it here in our neighborhood for those you are not aware - and no, i have not seen ashton cutcher yet). but as always, tomorrow is reserved for maffi! anything again!).
one of my ate's (big sister friends) complained that i might need a secretary soon because in order to see me, she had to go throught the list of the days and dates in order to be booked on schedule with me. and i laughed histerically. but on the real though, my friends and family have to call me in ADVANCE in order for them to even see. hahah. i feel bad but i would liek to be able to accomodate others.
what's next to come? damn...so many things.
