Basketball

I play church basketball and consider myself to be an average player. However, without another player and I, my team would be completely lost. Today I got very angry. So today in basketball I scored 4 points but only 3 of them counted because of a little issue with someone stepping over the free throw line before they were supposed to (which made me really mad). That's just the beginning.Then this girl of no small size hit me really hard. I think she was running, couldn't stop in time when she saw me, so her half of her body plus her elbow hits me in my side and it hurt like crap. Then my brother thought I was bleeding and I wasn't, thank goodness. I am glad I did not cry although I was very close to it, it hurt soooo bad. However, some girls had to go and tell my little sister that I was crying out of frustration. She tries to tell them, "no, Bianka doesn't cry when she's frustrated, I know my sister better than you." But no, the girl insists she's right and then Leah gets mad at her because she knows I don't cry when I'm frustrated. (If you ask me, crying when you're frustrated is just ridiculous.) Besides, I wasn't even crying. I was trying to breathe and had difficulty doing so but I didn't cry. So I sit out for a while, trying to breath and get a voice back. Then I go back in for the last ten minutes of the game and with six minutes left in the game, I sprained my ankle. I jumped to knock a ball out of the opposite team's hand and my foot landed sideways. It really hurt but I still played the game however not running as much but trying to do my best. Overall our game just wasn't great. We had some good shots, though not a lot made it in the actual basket but our defense stunk. So today was not a really good day and our basketball game was terrible but I'm still alive so I suppose that's good news.

Penelope

Ok, so I went and saw a movie Friday night with my little sisters. The movie was Penelope (rated PG for some brief language and innuendo; parental guidance suggested). It was actually a better movie than I thought it would be. It's a fairytale type story about a girl with a pig nose. At first she thinks she has to marry someone else of a like social status to break the curse but finds out all the power she needs in her life comes from herself. So if you have little sisters and really want to take them to a movie, you should go see Penelope.

Shoes

I was talking with Andrea and somehow we came up with the idea that I should write a blog on shoes. So, I've decided to do so.
At first, I didn't think there was that much to write about shoes. Then I started really thinking about shoes and realized there's lots to write about shoes. I like shoes. Socks are my number one favorite article of clothing, then shirts, then shoes. In the summer and spring, I like to go outside/walk around either barefoot or in socks. But anyway, this is about shoes, not socks or my preferences.
There are many different kinds of shoes and there is a shoe for every occasion. There are flats, flip-flops, stilettos, tennis shoes, clogs, pumps, and many others. Flats-in my opinion-don't seem to be all that comfortable but are still 'cute' I suppose when worn without socks. I like that with flats, different colors or patterns can make a jean or outfit look more dressy/'cute' rather than the casual tennis shoe. Flip-flops are meant for the summer/pool deck and should not be worn in the winter unless you are on a pool deck in the winter, are visiting a tropical location, or live someplace where it doesn't snow. Stilettos are just ugly. They are terrible on the muscles in your feet and are just bleh. Tennis shoes are comfy if you have the right size, style, and supports in them and are my favorite shoes to wear other than no shoes at all. Clogs are ok and pretty comfy but I don't like having the closed-toe front and open back. Pumps. I think pumps are more for middle-aged women or professional type women but can work with teens or un-professional women too, if worn with the right clothes. The 'many others' category consists of other shoes such as converse (which I like), pumas, diesels, or just your other name-brand shoe that makes only one type, for the most part. Yes, I know there are probably a ton more other types of shoes but these stick out the most in my mind.
So shoes are cool and are more complex than I originally thought and this is a random blog and this sentence is practically run-on so I'm just going say tciao until my next blog!
