Another embarrasing moment...

It's been a while since I've checked my blog. I finally got a laptop and, even better, I finally got my Internet working again!

So much has happened since I last wrote. Too many things to write about, not enough time. But until I get my thoughts in order and I get a chance to catch up, I will only give mention to a little embarrassing moment that happened to me the other day....

I had one of those days, you know, when you first wake up, you are in a good mood, yes, you think it's going to be a good day. I got up early, had my clothes ready and even managed to get out on time to catch an early train. I was thinking how good it felt not to be rushing. Not only did I felt good that morning, I even thought I looked good!

The forecast for that day was "hot", so instead of wearing my gym shoes to work, I decided to wear a pair of wedged sandals that I bought last year but only wore once. They matched perfectly with the outfit I was wearing.

I took my time walking to work after I got off the train since I was 30 minutes early. As I was walking down the streets checking out the window displays, I caught a glimpse of my reflection. Yes, I did look good that day. For once, I actually felt good and confident. So I straightened up and continued walking with my head up high. I took a deep breath and took in the sights and sounds of the busy street. The streets were quickly filling up with people going to work. I crossed over to the next street and strutted down the sidewalk with a smile on my face.

The next thing I knew, my ankle gave way, and I almost tripped. Oops! I thought to myself.
I took another deep breath and continued walking hoping no one saw me tripping. And before I knew it, I felt my ankle twist and just as I tried to catch myself, I tripped and fell forward (it appeared in slow motion) right in front of a bunch of people who were coming towards me. OMG! How embarrassing! A guy wearing a business suit came up to me to help me get up off my knees, but I quickly got too my feet before he could reach me. So he says, "Be careful with those shoes!" I felt so stupid!

I managed to give him an embarrassed smile and kept on walking pretending that nothing happened, as other people were starring. Keep walking, keep walking....

That day was not as good as I intended it to be, it went downhill from there. When I got off work, a lady coming towards me, tripped and fell. People around her rushed over to help her up. She got up with an embarrassed look on her face. Yeah, I know that feeling...

Let's just say, I blame it on the shoes! Now I know why I only wore them once... !
