Doodle Mania 2

Lot of things happening lately.... hehehe..

Yesterday, as we were in the last minute of our randori, Monica got injured. I think she had a bad fall after Kuya Nok made his move on her. She was crying.... Her left shoulder got slightly dislocated. Good thing our sensei has knowledge of 'bone setting'. After moving her arm gently, we heard a snap... the bone was back in place.

It's still painful though according to Monica so we rushed her to the nearest hospital, Ospital ng Maynila. Only one companion was allowed to accompany the patient so Sir Leo got in and we waited outside. The result of the x-ray kinda ate time. We were all tired and hungry already. Just as I was about to grab a cup of noodles in the nearby canteen, they were out -- with smiles on their faces.
The result? No fracture... trauma only. We were all relieved to hear the news. The next thing I know is that laughter is all around as we made our way towards Binalot resto at the gasoline station.

After training and the stress of waiting for the results -- WE'RE DEFINITELY HUNGRY HUNGRY.... especially Monica (who later ordered extra rice and halo-halo) hehehe.... She later told us that she didn't cry because of the pain but out of panic and worry that she has training the following day at school, that her parents won't allow her to play because of the incident, and because she won't be able to play, she'll lose her scholarship. It's the complete emotional stress that brought her to crying nonstop. I could totally relate -- I don't usually cry at the moment that I need to cry. Most of the time, I stop the tears from falling....then there will come a time where something will trigger all the hidden emotions and all the held tears... I think that's what happened to her. Anyway, at least all things ended well.

What happened to Monica was an accident. Nobody wanted it to happen... It just happened. I wrote this in relation to the 5-minute argument that the bear and I had. He's kinda worried because it seems that people get injured every week in the sport that I'm currently in. The thing that made me snap is that it's like he's blaming the coach and he's questioning if they'll answer the expenses on injuries... he even said, "hindi ba dapat safety first?"... I fired back -- that it's an accident and nobody wanted it. Safety first -- we rushed her to the nearest hospital...that one cannot really anticipate things... that maybe I shouldn't tell anything to anybody so as not to freak them out. Opinion lang daw niya --- ok fine... pero to me it sounded different. Since I didn't want to make a big fuss out of it, I just apologized and assured him that I'm trying my best to be safe while being thrown and throwing others. *sigh*

I dunno if it's an accomplishment, but I was able to make a move on my officemate in the randori. As she was about to do a seoi-nage on me, I was able to resist and position myself to perform a tai-otoshi on her. hehehe.. blag!!!
