| It's a sad day today.... What a long, tired day. Unlike most ppl, I had work today (Martin Luther King Day). That was the first sucky part of waking up in the morning. Blistering cold day too...2nd sucky part. Being at work..3rd sucky part and having to go to the 2nd freelance job after Morimoto...even suckier.
The tip of the iceberg? ....Hearing news about the passing away of a friend from work. I've only known him under less than year, but I can say that he was a great guy and a lovable person. What made it more upsetting was that I haven't seen him around in awhile, and a few of us were all bringing up talks about when the next time we would all "hang out/get drinks" or see each other at the restaurant. Sara even told me that he would always say that I was his favorite Morimoto server. I thought he was just kidding around whenever he said it. I told him when my arm healed up, he should make a visit. He was supposed to drop by the restaurant this past Sunday.
Cliffy was the first person, I've known in my adult life, to pass away. It's such a strange feeling I'm not used to. Mourning as a young adult compared to as when you were a child witnessing grandparents passing away seems different. The sadness is the same though. He was young too so it is completely unexpected. We were all at a loss for words, giving each other hugs, and cried. I cried on the bus, and I cried again at home. Today was a sad day. You will be missed....may you rest in peace, Cliffy.

| mid-sept blah blahis it just me or did it seem like everyone forgot about 9/11? or maybe i was in the same loop that it was noticed but not really talked about it. i took note of the day but it didn't seem like most people in general were aware of commemorating this tragic date. i know that most news channel did their memorial coverage and there was a candlelight vigil held where i live (which i couldn't attend since i was at work)...but i dunno. when the words "9/11" came out of my mouth - ppl would say..."omigosh! wow...is that today?"..ummm...duh?!? time flies. can't believe it's been 6 years!!!
other randomness..Aug/Sept/Oct babies are abundant!!! Friend's Bdays galore every week. my head is spinning. you know couples were definitely gettin busy during the holiday new year cold season. what else could explain this huge libra/virgo/scorpio boom?
this saturday, they're holding a Roosevelt Island Cat Adoption Day. I really want to adopt one! I miss my cat I had growing up. R.I.P napoleon. Most new yorkers tend to be dog lovers which is cool...but i love cats!! If i can convince my roommates to let me have one..i just might!!! check out these cuties!!! SOOO ADORABLE!!!! SOOOO CUTE!!!! I WANT ONE!!! *meow*
 Born on Roosevelt Island in July, these 2-month old kittens are healthy
and friendly, well adjusted to the company of other cats. See
individual photos (some kittens may have been adopted since this photo
was taken).
 Leila is a 3-month old female, very affectionate and playful, and very
vocal when she wants food or attention. A perfect companion for another
active cat.
 CECI -A 2-month old female kitten who loves to play. Very happy with other cats. | | |
| Things happen for a reasonI'm sure all of us have heard this line used at one time or another. Especially in situations where something you least expected happens and you just need to be comforted to make reason with "Why me?" "Why now?" "Why this?", etc.
Someone used this phrase on me yesterday...and I guess "it" in someways help put things in some perspective.
I haven't updated much at all in the past year and the summer, again,..has whizzed by. I will definitely admit that I haven't really been my usual self lately in the past months or so...this whole summer really...and maybe even this whole year. Can't pinpoint the reason...but I know myself. I'm just not who I used to be or who I normally am. Maybe I'm just becoming a different person but I definitely know one thing, and it's that I'm not happy with who I am right now. Was super-stressed to the point that I can't sleep at night and I'm not my normal self around people I work with and with friends. Super-agitated and not as happy-go-lucky as I used to be. Maybe I'm just getting older...or maybe I know that there's some things in my life that needs change and was preventing me from being able to be myself. anyways...we'll vent more some other day cuz i could go on and on and on with this and I'd hate to bore you all for the few of you that still log in to xanga to read exciting entries like this. =p
So quick update with me and why this is the first thing that came to mind to fill this in as the title...."Things happen for a reason..."
This past Saturday, I had taken the day off from work to head to Central Park for PVD's outdoor concert. It was definitely good times w/ friends. Went to a friend's apt afterwards to chill and danced some more. You all know how much I love dancing and playing with glowsticks. I'm dancing and swinging my arms above my head and all of a sudden, my right arm becomes dislocated. So there you have it folks!! I dislocated my right arm and headed to the emergency room. Was there for a total of 5 looooooong hours. What a nightmare! Excruciating pain and it was truly upsetting.
Last few days was just recovering at home w/ good friends visiting w/ soup and keeping me company. Finally able to use my right hand a bit but it's still in a sling. Should be coming off soon next week. Now I have all this time in the world to update online, and post pictures finally, and do whatever else I can do in my apt. You don't realize how good things are when you can make use of all your limbs. Definitely appreciate being "normal" and physically able. Being partially handicapped definitely put a damper in getting things done on a normal day-to-day basis. Learning to accept help from people is another lesson learned as well. Also, finding out that I have the possibility of my arm dislocating again is a scary thought. This is my 2nd time it has dislocated although the first time it happened was 12 years ago when I was 15. And it was also a weird instance how it popped out. I was playing a card game at a leadership summer camp and slapped my hand down...and it dislocated.
More bad news about this is that I'm currently not insured as well...so I am stressing about the bills...although I think I'll be able to cover it but it's just upsetting that my huge vacation I've been setting money aside has now gone to "my arm fell out" fund. The doctor advised that I get physical therapy for 4-6wks which is another dent in the pocket. I could go without it but it would slow down the healing process and would increase chances of future dislocations. Need to rethink everything. Thank goodness the apt situation is kinda settled. Decided to stay on the island for another year til something else comes up. Which is fine. It's lovely here and peaceful.
It's been an upsetting week although i am thankful for the great friends who have been giving moral support. I don't know when I'll be able to make full use of my arm. Possibly no more crazy extensive dancing and glowsticking like I used to, no more backstrokes when I swim, obviously no more tennis....which I have sorta retired from since college. Just never found a tennis buddy to play with.
Ok...so I'm gonna end this blog soon since it's definitely getting a bit long. So yea...things happen for a reason, right?
Definitely didn't meet a Dr. Dreamy in the ER that's for sure....hahahaha.
