An athlete's nightmare

What do Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls, Ricky Rubio of the Minnesota Timberwolves, UFC Mixed Martial Arts superstar Georges St. Pierre and my husband Mickey Villa (my Michael Jordan) have in common?  The answer: They have all incurred an ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) injuries.

An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is usually caused by a sudden twisting motion in the knee when an athlete lands or steps. You could opt to not have it repaired, but if you still want to engage in sports, or want to have a full life without constantly worrying that you might accidentally twist your knee, you might want to consider undergoing knee reconstruction surgery.

The District Boracay

Mickey and I were walking along Station 2 in Boracay Island to find a dessert place one night when we heard some DJ tracks being played from atop The District Boracay's open-air Star Lounge (at the 3rd floor of the hotel).  Since The District is one of Boracay's newest hotels, we decided to have dessert here instead.

Boracay morning, sunset and evening walks

With an island as beautiful as Boracay, one doesn't need to do much but appreciate the island's natural beauty.  During our recent vacation, morning, sunset and evening walks were part of our day.

Estacio Uno Boracay

Mickey was so sweet to take me on a breakfast date at Estacio Uno while we were in Boracay.  
 
Estacio Uno stands where the old Waling-Waling hotel used to be in Station 1.  We spent several summer vacations here in the past and having breakfast here certainly brings back a lot of memories.

Boracay Escape

There's nothing like an island escape that rejuvenates the soul.  In our case, we find ourselves leaving for our favorite Island in the Philippines, Boracay Island, every two years.
