my ambivalent attitude

My leg injury seems to be playing hide-and-seek with me, I guess it is prevalent in sport injuries. Immediately after the IPPT run, I was experiencing acute pain around my knee whenever I exerted pressure on my right foot; in the subsequent morning, the pain had miraculously abated to an imperceptible intensity level! Thus, there goes the initial diagnose by my family doctor: the defect apparently lies among the soft tissues of the knee, (cartilage' being the only one I could assimilate and comprehend in the string of examples given) and it is difficult to pin-point the exact location. Most similar cases saw the injury recovering after long periods of abstinence from exercises that exact tremendous kneework and he prescribed me some painkillers, coupled with a MC for exemption of physical training for 2 weeks. That was after he gave advice on the usage of a knee guard, which he claimed was useful for stabilising the framework of the knee in the course of exercise. All in all, a common case of Boomeritis, periods of inactivity needed to heal it back to normalcy.

'Aquamarine' may have the tell-tales of a bimbotic movie for teenage girls with dismissive appeal, but haven't you heard of 'Never judge a book by its cover'? As a matter of fact, I have never felt such bottom-of-the-heart joys when watching a movie for a long time now. A comedy that tells of how a mermaid became estranged from her family because she wanted to deny herself of a forced marriage in the search for true love, the plot is undeniably hackneyed but granted, there are sparkling gems among the shabby stones - behind the facade spawns invaluable fraternal ties and love between friends. And the pluses, the lead actresses are so gorgeous and it is amusing to look at things from the vantage point of girls.
