I ended up at TMC

After the stressful week I had, finally I came back to the office. Not expecting that I may end up at The Medical City. At first, i only feel dizzy and afterwards I'm throwing up every 30 minutes and I know that this is not good. I went to our company clinic and even tried to take medicine but still . . . I'm throwing up and I can not control the situation. The head nurse decided to rush me to the hospital since I'm sweating a lot and already fainted.

My pals rushed me at TMC and series of laboratory test were done to rule out high blood and diabetes. Thank GOD that nothing is serious. As per the resident doctor its more of fatigue and advised me to take some rest. Since It was already Thursday, Hubby told me to stay in the house for the next three days.

I better take my vitamins and supplements religiously. Health is Wealth.

The man who inspired our lives

Five years ago we were sudden by the news that MOMs eldest and only brother Uncle Ruben is suffering from a Colon Cancer. The whole family were shocked and even guessing were did he acquire that? He even undergone an operation but refused to have chemotherapy. Late part of August 2007 he’s been complaining of chest pain and back pains but on a tolerable level and during this time he even attended MOMs 69th B-Day celebration. All of us were clue less and anxious about his current health because he will never let you feel that he has some health problems. Middle of September when my cousin, my uncle’s sons told us that the cancer is widely spread in his body and might have six months to live. That was painful to hear. All we could give him is our prayers that soon he will recover. Come January 08 his in and out of the hospital. Last Wednesday MOM told me that we might loose him anytime because he can no longer respond and has no intake of food at all. The following day at around 5pm I got call from MOM and telling me that they were asked to rush to the hospitals because vital signs are no longer functioning and just waiting for the time. I called Hubby and together we rushed to the hospital. As I approached the room I saw my cousins in the hallway and didn’t even bother to say hi and hellos given that all of us are experiencing a difficult time. Upon entering the room I didn’t know what to expect because these will only be the time I’ll be seeing him again after Christmas. I just cried when I saw him, I know that he’s been hurting. . . . . I approached him and even held him in my arms and in the silent of the room I whisper to him that everything will be fine, its time for him to go and have some rest. 10:00 MOM approached and ask me if we can drop off Tita Pur and I said, I thought we will wait here? I’m prepared that night that we will stay since Uncle’s condition is not that good and his breathing diminishes every hour. We went home and arrive around 10:45pm and shortly received a call from Kuya Vic that Uncle is gone. MOM was very emotional. She even call her sisters in the states and telling one after the other “Iniwan na tayo ng koyang”. Uncle Ruben inspired all of us. According to MOM he was really been a brother to them. I remember that Uncle Ruben is a man of few words. Not a showy person but when he talks everybody listens. He is also a great mentor. Though, every time there’s a family feud he will never side anyone. I grew up seeing him how he loved her siblings that’s why he is a big lost to Perreras clan and one of the hardest part with MOM and other sisters. This is the first time that they lost sibling. Everything in this life is temporary. There will come a time that we will all be together again and when that time comes we will be glad of seeing you again Uncle Ruben, because you inspired our lives.

Nice Undershirt

I almost gave up. Since the start of Christmas shopping, I plan to buy a nice undershirt for Hubby and found one at EVERLAST, unluckily, medium sizes were out of stock. . .”what?”. . . during our rounds at TRINOMA I checked it once more at Olympic Gold, luckily medium sizes were already available. I just can’t wait Hubby to wear this. Hummm. You are definitely a HUNK.

A New Year Prayer Holy Father, God of our yesterdays, our today, and our tomorrows. We praise You for Your unequaled greatness. Thank You for the year behind us and for the year ahead. Help us in Your new year, Father, to fret less and laugh more. To teach our children to laugh by laughing with them. To teach others to love by loving them. Knowing, when Love came to the stable in Bethlehem, He came for us. So that Love could be with us, and we could know You. That we could share Love with others. Help us, Father, to hear Your love song in every sunrise, in the chriping of sparrows in our backyards, in the stories of our old folks, and the fantasies of our children. Help us to stop and listen to Your love songs, so that we may know You better and better. We rejoice in the world You loved into being. Thank You for another new year and for new chances every day. We pray for peace, for light, and for hope, that we might spread them to others. Forgive us for falling short this past year. We leave the irreparable past in your hands, and step out into the unknown new year knowing You will go with us. We accept Your gift of a new year and we rejoice in what's ahead, depending on You to help us do exactly what You want.. I say it again, we rejoice! In Jesus name, Amen.
