guess whose foot thought it'd be funny to get inflamed AGAIN and spoil more than a year of difficultly attained happy co-existence?









yes, mine.

dear Foot,
i've warned you time and again to check before opening the door. i warned you against Sprain, Stubbed Toe, Broken Toenail and ESPECIALLY against Sesamoiditis, but you never listen do you? you think i'm just being a naggy party pooper. so you let the biggest villain in, thinking i won't find out. does it hurt Foot? look who got the last laugh. SESAMOIDITIS.

for the clueless, i'd gotten sesamoiditis around the beginning of last year as well, and honestly, IT SUCKS. what is sesamoiditis?

Sesamoiditis is a common ailment that affects the forefoot, typically in young people who engage in physical activity like running or dancing. Its most common symptom is pain in the ball-of-the-foot, especially on the medial or inner side. The term is a general description for any irritation of the sesamoid bones, which are tiny bones within the tendons that run to the big toe. Like the kneecap, the sesamoids function as a pulley, increasing the leverage of the tendons controlling the toe. Every time you push off against the toe the sesamoids are involved, and eventually they can become irritated, even fractured. Because the bones are actually within the tendons, sesamoiditis is really a kind of tendinitis - the tendons around the bones become inflamed as well.

looks like your curse worked huiwen! i really really shouldn't have laughed at your stubbed toe. but then again, it's not my fault hannah told us the story like it was the most hilarious thing ever!

moving on.

i was dreading learning evolution for bio, because it's a very subjective topic. but i found out something very sad about the cheetah through this topic. the cheetah may be a running machine, but the species seems to be heading for extinction. apparently, the species has somehow lost its genetic variation. i took this off my bio tutorial:

As a result of intensive inbreeding generations ago, each cheetah appers to be nearly identical with every other cheetah. Genetic uniformity would hamper the ability of a species to adapt to ecological changes. Although the cheetah is the world's fastest mammal, it can only run a few hundred metres before collapsing for half an hour or more to regain its strength. During this time it can be attacked, or at least, lose its catch. Indeed, even when it is not exhausted, a cheetah is rather timid as a defender of its catch. More than half of the kill may be snatched by more aggressive lions, leopards or hyenas.

you think life is unfair? the cheetah's got it 7305650 times worse.

anyway, i went to watch the girls basketball finals on friday after school. we may have lost, but it was a really well fought game. so many times in the game i thought my heart was going to stop. the final 1.9 seconds was heartbreaking, but honestly, catching up by more than 10 points within the last 23 seconds and being left with 1.9 seconds for a three-pointer and YET not losing hope at all is in itself very very commendable. all i have left to say is WELL DONE BBALL GIRLS =)

and for yen, wow you were seriously burning the court. you played excellently and looked hot while you were at it too =) you have absolutely nothing to cry about because you know you had put in your all. and from the 09SO3B girls: we love you yen <3
