How Fast Can I Heal My Foot?

Or should I more accurately ask, “How fast can the bruise on my foot heal”?
Whatever…

Bruising has always been a concern for friends of mine considering the constant presence of one bruise or another on my body. I don’t consider myself a klutz of any sort despite the impression some people may have… I believe my issue is related to my fragility to… any solid matter….

It was quite painful and swollen initially and had me limping for about 2 days, luckily the drugs helped take the edge off.

Although still a little tender when I press on it or bend my foot too much, I’m glad it’s almost fully healed up now! I’ve only been wearing flats and sport shoes since and I’m craving a bit of height!!

It’s sad to say, but a few days after this post I re-injured the same foot and it bruised up again (this time closer to the ankle)… And just yesterday night, a girl bruised my toe again with the heel of her shoe while dancing!!

Feeling jinxed down

Lost Memories…

Memories are one of those precious things you just cannot control…
You can find a sense of familiarity when you come across certain sounds, actions, words or fragrances.

But what was it exactly?
A glimpse into your past?
Perhaps a vivid dream?

One thing I do know is that photos capture those moments which help us piece together our fuzzy perceptions. Fuzzy is too generous a word, should I instead use corrupted?

Road Trip To Broome

Bf and I had a last minute change of plans and decided to go on a road trip over the Easter long weekend. After loading up on snacks, drinks and an eski full of ice, bf and I headed north to sunny Broome! The 612km road trip from Port Hedland to Broome had us stopping by the Pardoo and Sandfire Roadhouses.

There were a lot more cows around than I expected, and the only sight of kangaroos were the ones who weren’t so lucky in the game of chicken…

The pearling industry is what initially attracted many to Broome

Now it’s more of a cozy tourist town best known for it’s Cable Beach.

Even your car can soak up some rays!

Broome is also home to the oldest operating outdoor cinema. Bf and I went to watch Alice in Wonderland (which btw was a great watch).

It’s definitely the only time you can get distracted from the movie by planes coming in for landing, or lizards sitting on the screen

Gantheaume Point is another popular tourist hotspot…

But you would want to go to Gantheaume Point just for the amazing view where desert meets ocean…

A post in the air…

I have had every intention to write up a blog post for the past few weeks. Really, the intention was there!

Most often than not, my blogging occurs when there’s a lull in my time and I can reflect on anything of interest, or I have issues which I need to clarify through writing…

And write write write I did….
Just not to the public ^^;

Some posts are just meant for bouncing of thoughts.
Inconclusive. Unreliable.
And most people just can’t accept that.

To sum up what has been occupying me lately: bf, family, friends, work, dhaa, me! It’s not actually much, but all consume large amounts of time. And it’s time which I don’t have enough of!!!

So here I am, on the plane back from my weekend trip to Melbourne which was both for business (DHAA) and pleasure (friends). And when I’m in Perth, I’m going to have to find time for family, bf and me during the times I won’t be working!

I’m just thankful for friends who don’t mind the lack of contact from my part… er well ok, so maybe they mind just a little bit but they have far superior understanding and forgiveness ^___^;;

Back Online!

Finally connected to my true love… WWW! <3hyper love

Despite the fact that I wasn’t completely cut off from the www since I had the opportunity to leech… I’m still quite proud of myself and my lack of withdrawal symptoms. Sure most people think I’m kidding when I mention ‘Internet’ and ‘Withdrawal’ in one sentence, but they obviously haven’t clocked up the hours to match me… yet! I’m just glad I never had to go to Internet Addiction Camp, and I can sleep more easily knowing that: “Internet addiction is treatable. Through about three months’ treatment, 80 percent of the patients can get away from the addiction”

Anyhow, I’ve been blog-free for 2 months and there’s just so much and so little I want to post!

First and foremost…
Welcome my adorable nephew, Elliott Ho!

Christmas, New Years, Australia Day….
Celebrations.
Lots of celebrations and early mornings.
Lots of alcohol and craziness.
Lots of heart-stopping action…

On a side note: Photobucket has killed my account… bye bye whatever photos I had stored in there!
