Celebrating Life w/ Mother

I was about to get off being quadriplegic and ready to roam free when I was diagnosed with bronchopneumonia primary complex. My mom in her profession of teaching became my instant quack physician, therapist, nanny, caregiver and nurse for years of this struggle of weak respiratory system. I always find her having me being babied so lavishly, a realization made after leaving the outskirts of home post-high-school. On a first hear of sniffling or coughing, she would warm coconut oil on my back and do some reflexology she believed would ease me off my wheezing. Mother would be boiling leaves from the yard and be setting a certain glassful of the concoction leaving me bloated. If she hears about a new approach to health such as pills or machine she would let me try. And if her line of first aid would not work, only then she would consult a medical expert. A classmate laughed it off upon seeing me, I was I think 13 that time, being carried at the back when my mother had to bring me to the hospital.

She, a single figure in her 24 hours, amazingly fixes equal attention to us her brood of four children more when our housemate left and my parents had the hard time looking for one.

In our day-to-day life far from your reach, we stumble, fall, crawl and painstakingly stand up, the grace you taught us.

We are so grateful for this year our Lord is adding to your life as well as to ours.

Happy birthday!!!

World Day for Cultural Diversity

21May. World Day for Cultural Diversity. (Christ), in whom the whole building being fitted together,grows into a holy temple in the L-rd (Ephesians2:21) In the next coming years, I cannot imagine my daughter, a half-blooded Igorot whose father speaks Tagalog, mother who speaks Kankana-ey and Ilocano and schoolmates who speak Kapampangan or teachers speak English, how her liner would be. Further imagination brings me to hearing her say, "Adiak like idiay kung nasaan sina Lolo tan awan unay tao."

World Reading Day 2020

This was my preggo days. Unbeknownst, I visited my OB-Gyne just thrice. The first two for the sonography of the tiny life budding in my tummy. The third time was because of an impending urinary tract infection. I had more time reading this book than supposed visits to an OB-Gyne. G-d had been so good to me and had me a safe delivery of a daughter. The self-help book reached another hand of an expectant friend.  Whiling time during not-so-hectic clinic duty,  I laid a book to gorge on. One co-employee barged in for a photo op.  I met these young minds when I was in Caloocan. One day, we found ourselves dating threesome in a library. Suddenly, I felt like I belonged!  Ah! The student days. No, I don't want to mention my "extended" years of stay studying that degree Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.

[) \/ |\/| 2016: For the Win

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.  -Albert Einstein           My life consort sparked me an idea on how to review. I know a certain way won’t apply to everybody else but let me try to win you with some of what I believe in.          Studying demands a hard-core mental job. A sound body comes a sound mind. Start with a healthy lifestyle. Remember your science teacher blah-ing about go, grow and glow foods, needed hours of sleep and physical exercises.          Commencement wanes for another starting line and the board exam high days seem to be accelerating. You are so fresh from all the feeds from your college professors (industrious they are!) and years of studying. So strike the board immediately. Though some intend to do self-review, consider a review center for it may be the step one can do to the least....
