My 18th Anniversary

May 16, 2009 was my 18th anniversary as peri-ampullary cancer survivor. I missed blogging it in May 'cause our internet connection was disconnected and I was indisposed for the past few months. Now I'm back with a new internet provider.

I consulted my doctor and had several blood tests but the results were okay except for my cholesterol and blood sugar - not quite high 'cause my HBAIC was 8 although the normal level was 6. My weight has dropped this is what I'm worried about. I have a good appetite though but I am controlling my food intake because of my diabetes.

Anyway, I am grateful to our dear Lord for giving me another chance to live in this world. The journey is not over yet. My attitude has changed me in many ways - like appreciating the simple little things in life.

Happy Mother's Day

This poem is for my late Mother

There are times when only a Mother's love can understand our tears,

can soothe our disappointments and calm all of our fears.

There are times when only a Mother's love can share the joy we feel.

When something we've dreamed about quite suddenly is real.

There are times when only a Mother's faith can help us on life's way and inspire in
us the confidence we need from day to day.

For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith and a Mother's steadfast love were

fashioned by the Angels and sent from God above.

Thank you Nay...

Splash Mountain Resort in Brgy Lalakay, Los Baños, Laguna. Los Baños is famous for its mineral hot spring water oozing from Mount Makiling (a long dead volcano).

There are hot spring pools of different sizes, cottages, giant waterslides, huts, picnic tables and other amenities. If you want to experience hot water springs in nearby Manila, this is the place for you which is about two hours drive from Metro Manila, this is the best place to beat the summer heat.
