My husband and I were 30 minutes early for our 9am appointment at the Immunology Unit, PGH. We were accommodated, nonetheless, by their friendly staff. They filled 12 test tubes with Kristian's blood, which will be processed to be able to get the white blood cells which will later be injected to me. We were asked to come back at 12nn. We stayed at a nearby Jollibee and were able to read almost all of the editorials of the Philippine Star. Then we went to an internet shop right next to Jollibee,...

On Giving and Taking
When are you supposed to draw the line between giving and taking? People say that when you give, you should not count nor expect anything in return.

I also had a phone interview a week after that stormy Thursday,...

The last five years has been quite a journey. I was...

Somehow, it was as if someone close to me or my family passed away. But then on the brighter side, the pain that was caused by her illness has ended and now she joins her creator in heaven.The nation mourns her passing. She was the brave woman who fought...
Constant Change
We're on the roadWe move from place to placeAnd oftentimes when I'm about to call it homeWe'd have to move alongLife is a constant change...The friends we know we meet along the wayToo soon the times we share form part of yesterday'Cause life's a constant changeAnd nothing stays the same, oh noClouds that move across the skiesAre changing form before our very eyesWhy couldn't we keep time from movin' on?Hold on to all the years before this moment's gone?Why must we live the days at such a frightening...
