For someone who used to be a blog addict, my page resembles a ghost town lately…but I really can’t help it. With work, hospital trips, taking care of 3 houses -not only dil’s but also my bestfriend’s, I do the housesitting yearly when they’re on vacation- being sick myself and of course my little four legged kids fighting for attention as well, I am just glad for my husband’s commitment to these all, great help, great son, great husband!
On Pain: A short report about my dil’s condition. Tuesday and Wednesday, he was in a lot of pain, body shivering whenever he would drink or eat something. We were warned before his chemo treatment that this will be one of the side effects, but it could have been prevented if only the nurses were a bit careful ..I understand that their job isn’t easy because I have an aunt who is a nurse and I’ve seen the exhaustion..but I don’t think stretching a nurse’s duty for a minute or two and give a patient his pills would make a huge difference..nagmamadali kasi umuwi yung nurse at yung pinasahan na nurse on the next shift did not carry out the order, 2x! Still, when my dil heard about this, he was patient hey! is that a pun? and understanding.
Anyway, he’s been transferred to a new facility where he will get his therapy, to make his lower body and back stronger. We’re hoping for the best. Again, thank you guys for your continuous prayers.
On Friendly Face: Last Friday I finally met in person a blog friend/neighbour. Beng and her son drove for about an hour and a half to get to my place..and it was such a welcome treat! With all the things going around our little family, a nice diversion was most needed.Beng’s
a true lady, friendly, warm hearted and really down to earth person who put me at ease right from the very beginning of our meeting – you see, I’ve encountered strangers that has left some negative marks behind and that would usually keep me away and make me hide in my shell, but then I realized that people are not all the same and I refused to let some petty bad experience get in the way of me meeting good people. She is good people. Though her visit was short, we’re both sure it’ll happen again.
I think, no, I know that I found someone who share my interests and that made our meeting interesting as well…our eyes would lit up whenever we’d talk about our addiction – wordpress and designing sites! 
..but I think her addiction is a level higher than mine 
some shots from that visit
immediately, Beng’s son, Gillian got down on the floor and played with my PUGngit who loves children. I could still hear Gillian’s giggles 
then we went to a nearby chinese restaurant to have lunch, Gillian always with a smile when he sees the camera focused on him, teehee:mrgreen:
after lunch and a bit of shopping, we then went back to my place, talked more about our ‘addiction’ and just goofed around!
Beng, sa uulitin okay…pleasure to meet you. 
A pretty busy and stressful time for you and your family thess.. I’m sure you’ll get past into this stage of life a more better,compassionate and a loving person.
Like what we’ve talked about YM..hoping there is less pain for your dil..meds, tender loving care and his love ones around him will help ease the pain,i’m sure.
What a funny picture that is! lol! kakatuwa! i hope we can have a grand EB in manila,sometime in 2007? gillian is soo cute,gigil! :cm:
On pain: am really hoping that your FIL will be feeling better and will be up and about… very soon! been praying for his speedy recovery…

Hey, I’m glad that everything that your dil is slowly and surely getting better.

Hi Thess, hehehe salamat sa pagbisita mo sa munting lugar ko, enjoy ang summer ko dito summer na summer kasi eh! nag eenjoy ka rin ah!
SACHIKO: oh yes, that’s true..busy for me and stressful for my husband..the poor guy. You think I’ll become those 3? sayang, walang ‘richer’
We just got back from visiting DIL and he seemed high spirited and can’t wait to get back home. I marvel at his positive disposition,..that really helps him get about on a daily basis.
DATE na lang and yep, see you there in 2007…errr, anong month nga ba? 
Let’s not call it ‘eb’ , kurne eh
BOKS: merci cherie for the prayers, he’s feeling a lot better, painkillers help. Kelan ka dadaan ng Holland? madali na pagpunta ni benggay dito :cutie:
CHEH: hindi nga pang 2 na tao..lakas kumain ni Gillian eh
..oo naman, bawat subo ko, naalala kita, he he..oist bruha, yung dalawang yan ay sina adik sr. at adik jr. (btw, sino-sino yung magkikita na ‘lahat’? ) 
RUTH: sana bago lumipat sina chechay magka chance ulit tayo magsalo-salo
RHADA: neybor, ikaw ay nasa wishlist ko na sana makadaupang palad ko (naks, ok ba sa tagalogski? ) On FIL, correct, that was an unnecessary pain indeed, niyayakap nya sarili nya sa sakit pag lumulunok two days back..now he’s a lot better.
PINAYHEKMI: we’re also thankful that FIL is slowly recovering. On negative experiences: I just don’t have a space for bitterness in my heart, nakakadami lang ng wrinkles yun eh :cutie: besides I take both positive and negative experiences as life’s teacher….oh yan ang corny at hindi ikaw
STEL: pwede ampunin mo muna mga alaga ko na makukulit? sabi nga ni Cheh, linsyak na ilong ko at tinatablan pa pala ng shipon, ha ha! Hindi na ako nagtaka na yung nasa mesa agad nakita mo ( and I insinuate nothing! *iling iling* ) Never ka saling cat dahil isa ka sa treasures ko.
FIL is happy with the help he’s getting now, he said that people are professionals and truly spending time to help him.
BENGGAY: miss mo na ba ilong ko?:ernie: buti pinigil pa ako ng waitress sa order ko, kundi baka 10 lumpia ipinaubos natin kay Gillian babe :ngii:…:bighug: lalo na kay K na iniwan mo, (sumbong kitah!)
BOKS: si husband ang may doggy bag
ETHEL: Hi Ethel, glad to know that you’re enjoying the summer. Miss kona Luxumbourg, kelan kaya ako ulit makakabisita dyan.
hoy bruha, siyempre naman ano? miss kita, sayang nga lang at nagmadali na akong umuwi…hihihi…missing in action na ako sa bahay. we arayb home around 8:00 p.m na nga dahil medyo ma traffic between your place and breda. kong enjoy ako mas nag enjoy ata si gillyboy dahil kay charlie. paano wala kasing ngumangatngat ng tenga niya dito sa amin. ahahaha, nagtaka nga ang waitress di ba sa dami ng inorder mo?
