Dear Kuya

Time really flies so fast. We last saw you in Shopwise telling us that you have flu again. You didn’t even allow Joshua to go near you as he might catch your virus. We never thought that was the last time we will ever see you.

I can vividly remember the dreadful days – the six short days you battled for your life. The night you drove yourself to the hospital. The night we received a text from Kuya Oliver that you were in the ICU. The morning Jojo rushed to the hospital as you were already in the 50-50 state. The day you were transferred to Asian Hospital. The good news that you’re BP is okay. The text message I got from Jojo telling me to go to Asian as he needs someone to comfort him. The news that your body doesn’t accept any medicines anymore. The doctor’s question to Sharon if we are a Catholic. The hour we fetch your daughter Ally from school. The call from Sharon telling us that you are gone.

Everything was so brief. You didn’t even show signs that you are going. There are a lot of regrets from us. There are a lot of if only in our mind but it wouldn’t matter anymore. We have whole hearted set you free as we know are you being comforted by God’s embrace. You will never feel pain anymore.

Even in my short encounter with you, there’s a big spot for you in my heart. I cannot express how much I have been grateful for what you have done to us. I may be only new in the family, but I saw how good a person you are. If not because of you, Jojo, Mama, Ate Maricel and Nene would not have a lived a comfortable life. If not because of you, we could have suffered when I gave birth to Joshua. If not because of you, Joshua could not have been in tip top shape when he gets ill.

You have been a good doctor not just in the family but everyone you held your clinic. There isn’t anything else we hear but how good you are as a doctor, as a friend and as a person. It’s sad though that you won’t see Ging, Ally and Kean grow. It’s sad though that Kean will only see you in videos and pictures.

Rest in peace now Kuya. Thank you for everything. We love you dearly.

Rob Pattinson ... Bite Me ... Please!

When it comes to "Twilight," the question isn't whether the teen vampire movie is any good, but whether the hero, Edward Cullen, is as magical as we want him to be. Edward is brooding and sensitive ... and thanks to Pattinson's furrowed eyebrows, crooked smiles and carefully crafted hairstyles, he delivers just the Edward we've been waiting for.

Spitz Tunes Now

He'll will host a weekly convo that will bring the old to the new ... he'll provide some facts, he'll ask about the present, he'll get us thinking, wondering, explaining ... and it all revolves around music ... and most importantly, he's looking for your questions -- so have at it, and have fun, and talk to Spitz!!

It's been a while

It's been a while since my last post. The past few days was chaotic, stressful, and painful. Before I narrate what had happen, I need first to look for a Football web tv. I heard Carlsberg web-tv launched a new one. The video clips can be found at www.partofthegame.tv. I guess football fanatics woudl surely love this.

We need your prayers

Hubby has been completely emotionally down for the past two weeks.
At first, his older sister had flu.
She was rushed to the hospital after two days.
She had dengue na pala.

Then just right when his sister was about to be discharge, his brother (the pedia) had flu as well.
He drag himself to the hospital and found out that he, too, has dengue.

At writing, hubby is constantly texting me to pray for his brother.
He doesn't want to think that it's a 50/50 situation.
Though the case is something serious.
The brother is currently in the ICU.

Their whole family is in the hospital now.
Well, except for me who is at work and the little boy who is snoring beside my parents.

Please help me pray for his speedy recovery.
It pains me to see hubby in pain.

*At this writing, the brother was transferred to Asian Hospital.
He is still inside the ICU undergoing dialysis.
He had CT scan as well as one of his eyes doesn't respond anymore.

FIL went to Sto Niño church in Muntinlupa to ask for a mass for the brother.
He lost words when he saw the list is full.
Guess who's name is on the list?
The brother. (I think those were from his patients.)
We were very touched.

I am in search for B+ blood.
The hospital doesn't accept blood from Red Cross.
The hospital is very, very specific (and maarte, I guess).

Twilight Saga

Gawd! I can't help myself with this Twilight Saga. Would you believe I just started last week and I'm done with Eclipse. I'm thinking of starting Breaking Dawn tonight but I might end up bitin. I get so kilig picturing Edward. Now, this addiction is a little secret with the husband. Harharhar! He might kill me when he reads this, LOL! Anyways, this is just a mere fantasy hubby.

You'd still be my Edward. Bwahaha!

Tell Me Something I Don't Know

On The Chris Matthews Show, November 16th Chris Matthews leads with: "`It's not my job.' We've got a financial Katrina on our hands. Recession and layoffs are pouring through the floodgates, and nobody's in charge. Bush looks retired, Barack Obama's not president. So who's protecting us?
"Mandate for change? When Reagan and Bush won, they charged ahead with a conservative vision. Will Obama do what Reagan and Bush did, do it big and bold no matter how tough the times? The Democrats are in the driver's seat. Shouldn't they drive?"
The panelists:
-- Michele Norris hosts "All Things Considered" on National Public Radio.
-- Howard Fineman is senior Washington correspondent for Newsweek.
-- Erin Burnett anchors"Squawk on the Street" and "Street Signs" on CNBC.
-- Michael Duffy's assistant managing editor of Time magazine.

Getting addicted

to Twilight Series. I got interested when I saw Abie's post about it. I downloaded e-books of the whole series. I got the time to read Twilight though just last night. Argh! I got hooked immediately. I'm in the middle of Whole Moon now and hopefully I got to finish this before my shift ends. Gawd! I can't even sleep because of this. Hahaha!

I'm itching to look for spoiler over the net if Bella will be a vampire soon but I'm resisting the urge. Bwahaha! I've got to see the movie by hook or by crook.

*Bummer, I wasn't able to go to Richwell Sale as I was in dreamland this afternoon. The husband didn't woke me up. I got envy with Jody's loots though my kid is a boy. I just hope I can still have time to go there. Anyways, the sale will be up to December 23.

Sports Clothing - Where? When?

A more sporty, casual approach to clothing is permeating our lives ... remember when athletic shoes, were for, well, athletics? ... did you ever wear Chick Taylor's outside of the gym ... then came the sports shoe craze ... is high-performance fitness/sports clothing going to follow? Seems to be making some in roads.

Yes, we did!

The U.S. Presidential Election is over ... he did it ... Barack Obama won! What did editorials across the world say, imply, question, disparage, hope, ...?

Happy Happy Happy

Yes, I am indeed one happy gal this night. As many of you guys knew, mababaw lang ang kaligayahan ko, LOL!

Arrived in the office and a package is waiting for me. It's my 2009 Belle de Jour Power Planner. When I open it, should I say, I fell inlove with it. Iba pala talaga ang feeling when you see it in person rather than seeing it sa web.

Then while I was reading my mails, I saw an email with the subject Christmas Sale. Yeehaa! Richwell is doing another sale. Come on, this is the time to shop and shop for the little boy's loots this Christmas. May benefit din pala ang pagiging night shift ko as I can go to the warehouse sale during weekdays. I am pretty sure it'll be jampacked during weekends and hubby might not come with me. Wala akong tagabitbit pag nagkataon.

What a nice way to end the week. Happy weekend everyone!

OMG!!!

That's all. I totally freak out when I saw the nude photo of Katrina Halili and Hayden Kho. You may see what I was referring at the
Belo Medical Group official site.

Zoo - You're animals!

In addition to their status as tourist attractions and recreational facilities, modern zoos may engage in captive breeding programs, conservation study, and educational outreach.

Today

Marks the day of the race for the much coveted Starbucks planner. I haven't had a glimpse of it though I am itching to see it soon.

I haven't had a decent sleep. I only had two straight hours of sleep. Gawd! Until when will I be like this?

I'm itching to lay my hands for the BDJ planner that will arrive this week.

Movies Stuff

Movies touch a cord in most of us ... drama, comedy, suspense, romance, sports, documentary ... you name it ... the following questions just keep the conversation going!

Halo-halo

Pardon me if I wasn't able to update this blog for a couple of weeks now. I've been stressed the past few weeks as the little boy wasn't home. Call it separation anxiety. The little boy seems to have a grand time there as he was always in a hurry whenever I call. This makes me cry.

They spent a week there and they arrived just this Saturday night. I totally freaked out when I heard the little boy cough so hard that we went to his uncle pedia the very next morning. Of course, we were scolded by hubby's brother.His cough was on and off the past few months that we even had an x-ray to check if the little boy has problems with his lungs. Apparently, there were none.

We spent the day in Festival Mall for the little boy's Pixie Forest treat. Afterwards, we head to Mercury Drug to buy his medicines and nebulizer. Good thing, the little boy takes his medicines without tantrums. The nebulizer is another issue though. Our room looks like a hospital's private room with his medicines, nebulizer and few snacks on our night table.

I just hope the little boy gets well soon.

On the other hand, I am in night shift again. I dread this month. I set my mind that this shift will end soon.
