brace yourself

My sisters (and the computer chair) showing some support.

From four to six weeks in a cast to two weeks in an ankle brace. Things are definitely looking up for me. :)

injured

I am now confined to using crutches.
I injured my ankle last night from a certain dance. I really didn't see it coming my leg got caught in my partner's, I hear a crack and the next thing I know, I'm lying down at the side of the studio with my teacher icing my foot (it was a guest teacher's class). Suddenly, this burning sensation starts around my ankle and I start crying--terribly hard. And as the guest teacher start talking about an understudy, I cried even harder. (The boys had to carry me to the other side of the room, where my bags were). I'm just praying the the x-ray will work on my side and the injury isn't as bad as everyone thinks (just because my ankle was the size of a tennis ball, which, mind you, has reduced to ping-pong ball size).
But that didn't stop me from going out with my friends after. So one of the guys had to carry me after realizing I could barely walk, but we were sitting most of the time, so no big deal. I had an absolute blast with these people and seriously forgot about my injury for a bit. :)

My bruise is a perfect circle.

Love these girls.

yellow fellow

Happy Easter! Heard mass last night, so my mom made us a huge spinach quiche, which was mind blowing, I can't even count how many servings I had. Then we went to my lola's house for our usual family lunch, cousins and all. She too decided to stuff us with turkey, mashed potatos, cannelloni, strawberry crepes, fondue and the best caramel cake ever. After, my family went to MCS to buy some DVDs and buy a leotard for my little sister. Then we (well, my older sister and I, the rest were forced to go) went to an ukay-ukay (thrift store) and I was able to buy a lot, three tops, a pair of shorts and a denim vest (which I gave to my older sister)--for only 500 pesos or 10 dollars--what a bargain! Then dinner with my father's side of the family, most of the dinner was spent laughing and being entertained by my cousin's 2 year old daughter, who was very hyper, thanks to her cup of Coca Cola. Great way to spend Easter, if you ask me. :)

Best quiche ever.

On our way to the supermarket to buy the strawberries and grapes. We were all in yellow, but the pictures are black and white, haha.

My dad's the fiercest man I know.

We can't compete with my dad, haha.

Releasing our inner cheerleader.

Our favorite cake, next to the delicious marshmallow frosting cake.

My latest buys, plus my not so recent but unused buy: my lace crop top.
