Bitter Sweet Life

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

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. =)

The Valentine gift!

Guess what I receive this valentines day! It's not a bouquet of roses nor chocolates from my special someone.

It's an e-card from Avira!


Looks very lovely right? Thanks avira for the greetings.


HAPPY HEART'S DAY everyone!

Our sweet goodbye to a friend!

Hi everyone! Forgive me for not updating my blog for several days now. Anyway, what keep me busy those days? If I say that I become lazy to write? Can it be considered as valid? Well... I know! I know! It's my fault. Being lazy is one of the big no no in life. Okay, let me start my story now.

One of our dearest office-mate has filed her resignation early this year so before her last day, we have already set a  farewell party  (despedida in filipino) for her last Feb. 4 at Centerstage, Makati. Here is the pic of the night full of laughter and singing.

Azkals win over the Blue Wolves!

Yes, it is! The Philippine Azkals defeated the Mongolia Blue Wolves with a 2-0 score. I actually watched the game at Studio 23. And indeed, the game was really great and exciting! According to ABS-CBN sports, there were over 18,000 people who watched the game at Panaad Stadium in Bacolod City.

Philippine Azkals

This is really a good news for our dear country after those tragic stories that happened few days ago. Congratulations and thank you Azkals for lifting the Filipino spirit again!  :D
