Getting Better

Twitter
Once again, my one day late entry for our Blogging for fun Friday. The theme for this week was anything that starts with "G". At first I thought of "geocaching", then, I thought maybe I'll feature "Grand Canyon", or "Gray Whales" or "Gorillas", but then, since I am actually one day late, I decided for "Getting Better".

"Me and My Signature Back Pose " :)
I am really very thankful for "getting better", after waking up my husband at 1:00 am in Friday, him driving me to the Emergency Room in the nearby hospital, and us leaving the ER with hopes of feeling better at 3:30 am. I was out from school Friday, and just simply slept, rested, and followed up with my doctor in the afternoon. And since I can not do strenuous hiking yet, I spent part of my day experiencing the healing powers of the ocean.


The ocean has shared my failures and triumphs since childhood, since this is the place where I would ran whenever I felt crying or celebrating.

The sound of its waves seems like a soothing music that brings healing for me. For some couples, maybe a walk by the beach at sunset seems to be magical since I always see a lot of couples walking on the shore when it is close to sunset.

And since there is no hiking picture for me this weekend, I instead shifted the lense to focus on the city where I live.


Though maybe I had shared here a lot of pictures from San Diego, but they were mostly pictures from the trails, mostly nature photos from the ocean bluffs, canyons, mesas, valleys, and mountains. So, here are something different, the city instead of the trails.

Though this may be not as peaceful as nature photos, but am very thankful I am able to take all these pictures today, a sign, of really "getting better" and hopefully, next weekend, we'll be really better for "hiking"!

    Hi Betchai, I hope you feel better now. I also hope, too, that these beautiful ocean views and sunset and city lights help cheer you up. There are times when we should just take it easy and get some rest. Your night photography is gorgeous.
    P.S. It is already late and I am awake too. Just came back from our friend's house watching Pacman fight.
    Take care.

    I do not know what and I do not why, but I know I need to wish you getting better and better.

    Getting stronger as the ocean, getting better for the hiking, getting better to get near to mother nature.

    So glad to hear that you're feeling better, but why an emergency visit? You worry me, betchai!

    Your city photos are just as peaceful, and beautiful as your nature ones! They are gorgeous!

    thanks a lot, everyone.

    @ Rainfield and Icy, it's hard to explain the condition why the ER. I could not sleep thursday night because of uncomfortable pain which I thought was period related, I tried to brush it aside, until I could no longer take the pain and discomfort and since it is night already and doctor's offices are closed, had to go to ER instead for immediate help. got some inflammation which caused the pain, i no longer am in pain now, but i am taking medicines for the infection which gives me a little headache :( but headache is better than that nightmarish pain.

    Hello Betchai... I only earned about you being rushed to the EC at FB and I rushed here hoping that you would have written something about it and I was right. I am glad that you feel better now.

    I am so jealous of your night photos. I wish I have the chance and time to do something like that but here where I live... all I can see is darkness due to the thickness of the woods outback. I'm scared that a bear will gnaw me and eat me alive. lol.

    take extra care.
