Bitter Sweet Life

A collection of my life (mis) adventures on being a wife, mom, daughter, friend, and anything in between.

Chloe's 7 Month Birthday!

Yes, you've read it right! Yesterday is my little girl 7 month's birthday. Oh, it's been so long since I haven't posted anything about my little girl here. Anyway, time really fly fast. It was like yesterday when I gave birth to you my little girl and now you're like a little lady.

This is chloe's first few shots:

chloe's first week
and now, this is her recent shots:

3 babies were burned when lamp explodes!

I was shocked when I first read about this news. I don't know exactly what happen. But base on the article at Yahoo.ph, CCMC Chief Eduardo Sedoripa said it was an accident. However, he said the lamp might have been overused.

Maria Aragon: The new youtube sensation

I was totally amazed when I first learned about the 10 year old girl who becomes the new youtube sensation. Oh what a wonderful voice she has. Much of my amazement is that I heard she's also a Filipino.

Anyway, below is the video clip of her interview at Ellen DeGeneres show. Yes! She has been invited and interviewed on that show.


EMDC Experience

"You're the one who'll put a cherry bandage, I will be the one to remove the syringe needle"

Those are the words I heard when the nurses are arranging the syringe and other medical accessories on my mom's arms. She was scheduled this morning for hemodialysis (a process which clean the blood using a machine). It made me realize how serious her illness is.

Anyway, the scene made me remember the time when she was hospitalized back in September 22, 2004 at RMC (next day would be my birthday). She looks really pale and skinny. You can actually see the pain in her eyes that time. Though she was on that kind of pain and sacrifices, I am amazed with her because she can still  manage to smile and survive. Well, we're very thankful to our dear God because it's been 6 years already and she still have the same courage to fight for her life. Wonder what her ultimate reason? It's her family - us! It made me teary eyed (I actually want to cry when I heard that but I manage not to). Lol

Back to reality, we were at EMDC. Her treatment would last for 4 hours so what do you think I'm doing there? Obviously, I'm sitting beside her while writing this post just to kill the boredom of waiting. =)
