Please do check this website letters to mama. I was moved to tears with Mr Roy's story. I can really feel the sadness, his struggles in everyday life and his longing for his wife.

lucky or not!

I was doing blood transfusion for one of my patients last night and i had to stay with her for the first 15minutes. She is 84 years old and has an end-stage alzheimer's. I was looking at her... naisip ko, "you're so lucky, lola... you found your TRUE LOVE". Her daughter mentioned to me kase that their mom has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's almost 10years already and their Dad insisted to take care of her... grabe noh?! parang sa The Notebook?! Last year masyadong ng mahirap for their dad. It was hard for them but they really had to convince him that they should put their mom in the Nursing Home. So, my patient went to Nursing Home and her husband visits her there. I was thinking saan ako kaya makahanap ng guy na ganoon?! That will stay with me even i tend to forget him or totally forget him, even i'm incontinent of urine and bowel... even i smell so stinky... di ba?! yun talaga ang TRUE LOVE!


Early in the morning, my other patient who's 97 years old asked for pain medication. Tinanong ba naman ako, "honey, how old are you?" I told her that she can guess, i really don't mind. Sabi ba naman, "16?" hahahahaa kakatuwa si lola! Do i look like 16? I told her that i'm older than that... i am 27 years old now! (darn... i'm 27!) She asked me if i'm married or if i have kids. I said, "Neither. Maybe you can find me a boyfriend." "Honey, i been divorce twice... better be single and enjoy life." *hooo T'was opposite. :D


"True LOVE isn't so much a dreamy feeling that you have as it is an enduring committment to give sacrificially-- even, or perhaps especially, when you don't feel like it." - W. Mattox Jr.

adventure or nothing?!

According to John Dyer, " Tis better late than never". So, i'm here to tell you guys about my skydiving experience! Last August 24, 2008, my friends and i went to Fowlerville, MI to go skydiving. Yes! I finally did it! I jumped and fell freely from an airplane and performed various maneuvers before pulling the ripcord of a parachute. Yeaaaahhhh... imagine it, baby... jumping from an airplane 6,000feet above the ground!




I was not scared at all... siguro ganyan lang kung masyadong focus ako. I really wanted to do this long time ago. Sayang nga lang Papa didn't have a chance to see me... not even just watch my video. Maybe, he was watching over me when i jumped off the plane. Maybe he was nervous too like Mom... maybe hinde niya akalain i've the courage to do it.
At long last, I've done one of those 99 things i listed before i die... SKYDIVING! even it was postponed twice because of the bad weather and kahit my friends told me "don't do it... it was a sign." As what the famous Hellen Keller said, "Life is a daring adventure or nothing".




I want to do it again.............. skydive with me next time, friends?!
