Half-CLEAR!

I had my check up yesterday October 14 and today October 15. Yesterday, I went to my cardiologist and it was a good news. He said that I am already clear from any medications or whatsoever procedures. He also said that I'll make sure of monitoring my blood pressure and if there is any sudden increase of blood pressure, just go to him. Sigh! It's a done deal!

And now to my neurologist. She checks on my reflexes, ask some questions and it turned out okay. She told me that it seems like I hardly bare or give birth (a nice compliment for me, of course). This is the worst part, I'm not yet clear in this department. She told me to have cranial MRI and EEG because she wants to make sure that the seizure will not recur to me then I said okay.

Then I got home. I searched how much does the MRI cost. OH MY GAWD! It cost a thousands of pesos! It range from ten thousand to twenty thousand pesos. It is the amount of the christening package of my daughter. This is something! It really hit me. It makes me cry (not the sad movie) where in this world I or we can get that amount?! Jesus Christ! So I decided not to undergo in this procedure. What am I? Crazy? NO way! I would rather spend it for my daughter's christening or things that will make me and my family happy than to a nonsense things. If I'll die, I die. At least, I die happy. :)

Busy little bee

These past few days, I've been busy working on my application in a NGO entity. For the mean time, I do volunteer work in that office as I wait for my starting date. I will be a part of the fund raising department and communications group. My work is on contractual basis meaning I will stay for 3 months then if they like my performance, they will renew my contract for another 3 months and so on and so forth. But in the event, they will not renew my contract or if I request it to (maybe), I'll just find another job. That's life. Life goes on. I hope I can handle this job well and will do my very best to handle and face it. :)

When I got into a relationship, I want it for long term otherwise, none at all. I want it to last. I don't want relationship just for the sake of having one. A partner who stays even if the world gives a lot of reason to leave. And I think I found her. We first met online through an application Moovz. It is like a Facebook for the LGBT community and for straights as well, where you can meet and greet, post anything (nudity is not allowed), make friends. Just like Facebook basically. If I'm not mistaken she is the one who chat me first then I replied. I added her to our Viber group chat 'mooverz' so she can meet fellow Filipino moovz user. Yes we exchange conversations but that's just it because I am eyeing on someone already. But that someone, let's call her A, is not ready. I did my best to court her, send messages, make calls but I guess she is not that ready. So I wandered again, and this girl, let's name her K, popped again asking how my day...

Sure-real Moments: Labor Day (Full Version) + Birth Day + Happy-dreadful Day

As I said before it's not the day for the migrant workers, it's the part of pregnancy where all your guts, emotion, finance and bodily strength will be put to a test. Morning of August 18, 2001, I started having the contractions. It felt like its ripping my hips off of my body. I immediately tell it to my Mama and said "Wala pa yan. Kapag sunod-sunod na yan at madalas, manganganak ka na. Lakad lakad ka lang. ( That's nothing. When you feel the contractions more frequent and comes in second, you're on your way. Just walk around.) After hearing my Mama's assurance, I spend my no ordinary day doing light house chores. As the night struck, contractions grew stronger. Can't eat my dinner, can't even sleep. That night was very exhausting. I walk around the living room for nth times while taking deep breaths. I even timed the contractions and write it down to monitor if I was really having getting-ready-to-give-birth contractions. As the night went deeper, t...
