june 9, 2005 would be a day i would never forget. while practicing lifts for the upcoming UAAP Cheerdance competition, i had a somewhat painful and bloody accident. while bry,pam and i were trying to learn how to do a basket toss, pam slipped from our crossed hands with her chin crashing down onto my head. ouch! was what i could say. i placed my hands on the spot where her chin smaked down. little did i know that blood was already dripping on my forehead. sounds gorry huh? oh well, when i remove my hand, all i could see was blood. i stared at my bloody hand with big wide eyes. i never liked blood, except in movies of course. that's why i never wanted to pursue a career in medicine.

coach lala arrived and advised me to go to the infirmary. syet1 i asked the other people about my lasceration, they said that it was small an there was no need for stitches. with RJ and pam by my side, off we wnet to the infirmary riding RJ's car. the moment that we entered the emergency room, the nurse attended us right away and made us fill up a few details. when the doctor examined the wound, he decided to stich me up! F*CK!!! i have this fear of anything related to scissors, thread, blood and the doctor's operating table. good thing i had pam and RJ with me. RJ offered me to hold his hand during the operation.

oh my god! i saw the nurses prepare the tools or whatever. i saw them take out a nasty syringe ang filled it up with anesthesia (hope i got the spelling right!). at first, my concern was if i could take a bath, style my hair with wax and the like. but then i realized that i should think first about my scalp. i would most like;y get a "poknat" or that space in the scalp where hair does not grow anymore due to the operation.

then it all began. i felt a stinging sensation in my head as the doctor injected my head with the anesthesia. i held on tightly to RJ's hand. to cut the story short, i got 2 stitches on my head right now. i have to drink 2 kinds of medicine 3 times a day. after the operation, we went back to the gym to resume training. hehehe...i didn't dance nor lift anyone anymore.

jume 10, 2005. i went back to the infirmary to get my anti-whatever shots. believe me, they were kinda painful. you will feel this stinging sensation as the needle enters your skin and feel more pain as the nurse injects the medicine inside. hahaha! sound yucky huh? hehehe...anyway, everything went well. i paid my tuition, had snacks with ali and fabs, then went to training.

well, i did not really do the stunts like the headstand and the like but still i danced. hahay...so much for being a dancer. hehehe...but i guess, its worth it. i love what i do and i'm sure that this season will be hotter than ever. i hope that the wound will heal really fast so i could do the things i used to do like taking a decent bath!

for now, gotta go. i have to wash my hair so that it would not stink like hell! hehehe

out!
