Lucky To Have Him

Hey ladies and gents,How are you all doing? Well, I missed a lot lately because I was not active in reading and interacting for the past few days. In fact, I did not write an article yesterday. As much as I would love to because I badly need every penny that I could earn here, my body won't cooperate. My hands get tired easily from typing. Actually, not just my hands, but my entire body. I could not even take a bath standing, so I had to bring a chair inside the bathroom, and even when changing clothes, I needed my daughter or husband to assist me. That's how weak I am right now. But staying in bed won't make me better either. That's why I tried to do some chores slowly and I cooked. I did the cooking today, and I feel good about it. 

I wanted to get back on my feet again, just like I used to be. My husband did all the cleaning before going to work every day. And he was tired already, even before he would go to his work, and I felt pity towards him and a little embarrassed about myself. 

And even when he's at work, he would always call and text to check on me if I was feeling okay, if I had eaten, and she kept reminding our daughter to always attend to my needs. I feel happy and sad at the same time. I should be the one taking care of them and not the other way around. 

Just this morning, while we were having our breakfast, I told him I loved him. It's my way of saying thank you. Then he smiled and said, "I know what you mean. Don't worry, I love you and I will do everything for you. Sorry if I get annoyed sometimes, but that doesn't mean that I get tired of taking care of you. That will never happen. Just take good care of yourself and don't be stubborn."

"Kinilig ang pempem ko mga teh, char!"

I fell in love with him again. lol! 

I am lucky to have a partner like him. Yes, he is not perfect. He has so many flaws. He even betrayed me before, but that is all in the past now, and I appreciate everything he has done for me. 

Okay, enough with these and let's move on to my next topic, which is the first thing that I would do once I regain my strength. And that is to apply for a Philhealth. I regret not pursuing it before. If I had only known that I would be this ill, then I would have applied years ago. Well, it's not too late to apply yet, so I am going to push it. 

I did some research on the internet about the requirements for applying for one, and this is what I discovered.

To those who have appkied before, are these the only thing I need or they might ask for more when I get there. I just want to be prepared to avoid the going back and forth in their office? And how much will I pay for applying?

I was planning on doing this tomorrow, but my daughter has to do something urgent at school, so maybe on Tuesday.

And that's it for today guys! It took me three hours to finish this very short article. I have to paused for a few times to relax my hands. And glad that I managed to finished it.

Thanks for reading! ❤
