How Would You like Your Sunset Be? Would it Be Good to Know Your End? No:83-05 November 16,2022 Death is inevitable , we are all going there but what if you know or you are aware that it's going to an end? How would it feel like? Would it be better knowing you only have limited time to live ? How would you react if you find out that you are sick without a cure? I don't know what to feel when i received the news that one of my bestfriend might have a rare blood cancer that has no cure . Though Bone Marrow Transplant can be tried as one of the procedure to save one's life suffering from Leukaemia but not an assurance that the disease will be cured 100%. Not an assurance that you are going to live for long. After series of countless tests she's gone through this year , she is now scheduled for a Bone Marrow Test and biopsy on Tuesday , November 22 at St. Lukes Medical Hospital. Her Hematologist from Asian Hospital advised her for a second opinion and she did , at St. Lukes Hospital but the doctor has the same diagnosis and recommendation which is Bone Marrow Test and biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. === Bone Marrow Test is a procedure wherein to confirm or rule out a diagnosis. It is used to test the fluid and tissue in the marrow and can help doctor's to determine wether you have cancer or other blood disease that affecting your bone marrow or the extent of a certain disease just in case the result of the tests shows abnormality in your marrow. === *It's been a week now since i received the news from her and it make me really sad . It affected me so badly , i feel numb and exhausted and don't have the energy to do things. We are constantly communicating and i'm trying my best to give her emotional support but everytime we are talking , i usually burst into tears.* The Dream Just yesterday she was telling me of her recent dream and she said like this... ***" I was running and trying to catch my husband and only daughter Mia , when i finally hold my daughter's hand , i suddenly submerged into a blue clear water , just like in a pool and i was amazed that when i opened my eyes , i could breath deep down the waters... I feel so relaxed and very peaceful underwater . First time i ever felt such peacefulness.. "*** I don't want to interpret her dream as i told her , though it gives me goosebumps all over. I tried to crack a joke and told her that " she's a mermaid in her past life that's why she can breath underwater" but as i was typing that i don't know why i'm crying so hard. I pretended to laugh as i'm sending laughing emoji's but i am crying really bad. I ended our conversation by saying to her to promise me that " We are still going to use our 20% discount when we reach our senior years someday , lol! coz that's my way of saying to her how i prayed hard for her to live long. I want to lighten up our conversation and cheer her up though i was crying. 😔 Goodness , this is the hard part of trying to give hope and confidence to your love ones whose facing a difficult battle. I feel so down and exhausted . The situation is really eating me up. Fears are getting higher each day though i pray , pray and pray for her. Anxiety is striking though i'm really trying so hard to fight it. Geez , i need strength , more than enough so i could share it to her. Wisdom , so i could tell her the right words to comfort her. Oh , how i love such a beautiful soul like her. I wish her well , prayed over and over for a wrong diagnosis. I am overthinking coz you can't blame me... I lost valuable people in my life over the years. My first bestfriend Agnes who committed suicide , my mom and granny due to cancer , my father that i have'nt seen for long years only to find out that he's gone already. I am strong but i am weak at the moment. I am slowly drifting but i need to hold on to something , and that is my FAITH. **If i am into her shoes , i honestly don't know how to deal with it. As much as i am thinking what to answer to the question " Would it be good to know your end?" I can't find a single word to reply. Probably i would just cross the bridge when i get there too... But of course i want my sunset to be peaceful and calm. Something that would bring peace and joy to my love ones instead of pain and sorrow.** That's it for now . Don't mean to bombard you guys with sadness. Please , once again do include her in your prayers. My sincere thanks for you guys in advance. To my Sponsors " Salamat ng Marami!"

Let's Cross the Bridge When We Get There, And I promise to Hold your Hand... No:82-04 November 13, 2022 Yesterday i was so tired i slept early and did'nt bother to check messages on my phone. And so this morning , i open my messenger and read the messages . I am disheartened by my bestie's bad news. Michelle is her name but i fondly call her "Chengky" . She has chinita eyes and her family call her Cheng so i just combined Cheng and her chinky eyes. We are bestie's for 24 years. @Ruffa and her has the same birthday August 29. That's why i kinda love the vibe of Ms. Ruffa coz my bestie is a fighter , introvert , humble and practical soul like her. My emotional state is somehow like a roller coaster this past few days. I can't help but got affected on my bestie's state. One just migrated to Australia as i've written in my previos article . Am happy for her of course but sad at the same time coz i'm missing her and it'll probably take 5 years before we see each other again. The other one ,my bestie since high school is in deep sorrow at the moment coz of the recent demise of her husband due to Acute Leukaemia. I was with her yesterday for her husband's 40th day. A tight hug is all i can give her. I can see in her face how devastated she is and can't seem to overcome the pain yet. Her face is pale and weight loss is apparent. I promised to see her once again in the coming days. As much as i want to console and be with her often , i can't coz her place is one and half hour drive away from my place. Going back to Chengky We are bestie for 24 years , Chengky is having a not so good health issues right now. It's been over a year now that doctor's are confused on her CBC result from her routine Annual Executive check up. She's handling a high position in the company she's working with, a GM or General Manager. If in the office , she's the boss , when she's with me she's just an ordinary down to earth girl. We had lots of fun moments together. I used to live in Quezon City and she's from Sta. Mesa. We used to work in the vicinity of Mandaluyong. Our offices was just walking distance from each other then. Until we have our own families and i stayed here in our province of Bulacan and she's living now in Las Pinas. Quite far from each other but from time to time , at least once or twice a year we see each other. Our usual place was in Shangrila coz it's near her workplace. We have constant communication for 24 years. She refers to me as her sister from a different mother and vice versa. Her mom is our Godmother when i got married and she's the Godmother of my first child. I am also one of the Godmother of her only child. Let's Cross the Bridge when we get there... Over the years , doctors are being confused on her CBC results ,she has low RBC ,low HEMOGLOBIN yet HIGH PLATELET and HIGH IRON but since she's not feeling any unusual things , and other tests are normal , like her colonoscopy , endoscopy and other py's haha! It was disregarded and thought it was not a matter of concern. But just this year when they had covid early this year , things get more confusing. Her Annual Executive check up got the same results as above. But this time , she was endorsed to a **HEMATOLOGIST** and undergoes series of blood tests thinking the indifferent results might be covid triggerred. Her blood clot easily , that the blood samples taken from her was not good for testing anymore . So blood extraction from her was taken many times as in more than a hundred times since last August. The Hematologist from Asian Hospital advised her to go to two different laboratories for her blood test to make sure of the result. So she had test from Hi-Precision Lab and the one from Makati Medical Hospital. After repeating the blood tests for many times that she lost count of anymore , both labs are giving the same results. Low RBC , Low Hemoglobin yet High platelet and High Iron. So just a few days ago after getting the result of her last tests , her doctor finally talked to her. Doctor says she might have a disease called MDS. **MDS or Myelodysplastic Syndromes -a rare type of blood cancer where you don't have enough healthy blood cells. There are many types of it and some types can stay mild for years and others are more serious.** The condition can develop slowly or quickly , and in some people it can develop into a type of **LEUKAEMIA called Acute Myeloid Leukaemia** (AML).https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/myelodysplasia/#:~:text=Myelodysplastic%20syndromes%20(MDS)%20are%20a,and%20others%20are%20more%20serious. I was shocked by her news , i can't seem to grasp what's going on. I was aware of AML coz of my other bestie's husband caused of death. AML is a progressive type of leukaemia that also the caused of death of Francis Magalona , a famous actor and Musician here in our country. She has to undergo a BONE MARROW TEST asap , to confirm the diagnosis. What is worse is , the doctor says there is no cure of the disease but Bone Marrow transplant . She could undergo chemotheraphy but just to delay the progress of the disease. I was like being hit by something hard i can't think clearly . The feeling of being knocked out , you feel numb and unconscious. It was totally hard for me but what more for her and her family? I told her to cry it all out , to relieve all the burden from her heart then after, face the ordeal with all her might. She's a very strong woman , i know , but this is too much to handle. She told me that after her Bone Marrow Tests we will see each other. She told me that she will cross the bridge when she get there... and i promised i will hold her hand while crossing it , be beside her and will not let her stumble and if she does i will try my best to pull her up again just like the old days. I am not really good at the moment but i need to be tough for her. As my fave line from Robert Schuller goes... TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST BUT TOUGH PEOPLE DO! Nothing is impossible from above. We are hoping for a wrong diagnosis and so her Hematologist. When i am hearing of Cancer , my heart is beating fast . The lost of my loved ones due to different kinds of cancer gave me uncomfortable feeling whenever i heard of it. We lost Mom and my beloved Granny due to it. I just can't imagine another love one will suffer from it once again. That will be all for tonight . Please do include her in your prayers🙏 My sincere thanks to all of you in advance. Thank you readers as always. To my Sponsors " Salamat ng Marami!" Good health be upon all of you! `All images are all owned by yours truly.` grey23espartinas

Action is what create changes and a simple plan may be all that we need to break out of a rut. -Anonymous Sometimes all we need is a little act of kindness to create a beautiful change in our life. We cannot control what is happening around but we have full control of our life. A simple act of kindness in our world full worries can make someone smile and feel that there is still hope. Goodmorning beautiful people! Let's have "Niyog na may Suman" hahaha! for breakfast. Smile and be the sunshine for others!

@grey23espartinas

Let's Cross the bridge when we get there... Thank you @Sunnylife for makin me smile for a while😃 I am not really good today coz of my besties bad news regarding her health condition. I've been worrying about her for months already coz shes been undergoing series of blood tests lately. More than a hundred blood tests was conducted for months and my worse fear was confirmed. She was scheduled asap for a bone marrow tests to confirm the findings. Praying for a change in results. Nothing is impossible to the Highest right? As my bestie says a while ago. Let's cross the bridge when we get there and i answer back.. I'll hold your hand while we are crossing it. I will never let you stumble, and if you do , i will be just beside you to make sure you'll get up and stand again.. Goodnight beautiful people. May good health be upon all of you. love , love!

@grey23espartinas

There's a commotion here outside a while ago. My cousin accidentally broke his elbow while playing a basketball. He was brought home by other players and my husband take a look of him and learned that it needed medical attention coz his joints are dislocated. He immediately calls the rescue hotline and for less than ten minutes the rescue arrived and gave him first aid then brought my cousin to the hospital for proper treatment. That was a fast service from the rescue team! Good change is really visible now in our community. Grateful for our new leaders here. How was your day noisers? Hope you all had a wonderful day! #Fastservice #rescue

@grey23espartinas

Fresh Melon for dessert. Nakapag lunch napo ba ang lahat? We just had ours and we're having our dessert as of the moment. Melon para panghimagas as my lola refers to it. When she was still around , our meal would not be complete if we wouldn't have a "panghimagas" or dessert. It's either fruits in season or anything sweets, such as minatamis na saging, beans , or kahit anong kakanin. Minsan ice cream or chocolate. But nowadays that inflation is real , kung ano na lang ang in season na prutas para mas mura or kadalasan saging, all year round na available, hehe! Anyway highway , mahilig din ba kayo sa dessert mga besh? Maganda at mabiyayang hapon sa lahat!

@grey23espartinas

Just a tiny flowers picked by my son outside and hand it to me coz he thought i might like it.Hmmm.. I don't just like it , I actually love it! Most of the time, it's not really the thing that matters but the thought that somebody or someone thought of you when they see a certain things and grab some for you. Let's make it a habit to say "thank you " to those people around who exert effort to make us happy. Good to know you are part of their life by simply giving you something coz you have a place in their heart. Goodnight gorgeous people!

@grey23espartinas

Uy may pa relief si Mayora🥰 Not expecting this anymore coz it's been more than a week na since humupa ang baha dito samin. Glad the local government is doing their best to reach out to their constituents. Grateful for the unexpected blessings! Not the usual relief of noodles and canned goods, hehe! lumelevel up, Puro Tuna and canned goods and the rice di mukhang nfa besh. Galing👏 Magandang hapon sa inyo beautiful people!

Is It Easy To Have A Life Away From Home? No:81-03 November 08,2022 I grew up with my grandparents , three of us siblings actually. Not only my mother was a single parent but because she's working far away from us ever since we were a kid. She had most of his life away from us , away from home... Fortunate are those who can bring their family with them when working or migrating to a foreign country. Though in every place your into , working hard is a must to achieve your dream life but if you are with your family atleast the problem of homesickness will lessen. Of course , adjusting to a new environment , culture and the people are given . Dealing with those is not that easy but there are Filipino communities all over in different parts of the world that can help to lessen the anxiety in a foreign place. Meeting a "kabayan" is a relieve for every Filipino whose new to a certain place. **But how about those individual who want to have a better life for their families? Who sought working far away from home to atleast raise their way of living? The breadwinners? Single parents who need to feed and provide for their kids necessities?** I know how hard it is coz as i've mention , we grew up with our grandparents coz mom had to work in a foreign land to provide for all our needs. From food , clothings and education. She sacrificed a lot for us. There are days that she keep on crying coz she's missing us badly. Days she can't eat good meal coz she's thinking if we were eating the same good meal that she's about to partake. Special event and holidays that she can't be with us coz she can't go home as much as she want to. Counting the days that seem too slow when stricken by homesickness. When she was sick and not feeling well and no one will take care of her but herself was really saddening. She has to stand up , self medicate and yet still thinking of work coz of us. Have cousins in NY chatting me at wee hour in the morning here , telling me how tired she is from work yet she has to go to the laundry shop to do her laundry and how she almost cried while pushing her trolley on the way to the shop coz no one will do it for her . An Aunt in Canada though all her family is with her , also crying as she's telling us how her salary almost went to bank for their house monthly mortgaged that is payable for almost a lifetime. A cousin's wife in Australia that has to go to the hospital alone for her chemotheraphy coz my cousin already used his work leave and need to go back to work after sending their children to school so he could no longer accompany his wife for treatment. Aside from the regular job most of our kababayan's are doing extra work so they could send more money to their families. Some are sending their siblings to schools , some are paying loans, some are building their dream house , some are saving for a business back home. Some are paying for medications of a certain family members. A lot of reason but all of them are surely having a hard time working and living alone away from home. See? It's not easy to live away from our homeland. There are price to pay. They are working really hard , they are not just picking easy money. Of course , they are not going to post pictures of their daily routine of hardwork and struggles so as not to create worries from their love ones here. My relatives though having struggles in their chosen land , still is fortunate having the life they want but for some of our kababayan's who struggle more to survive , working double or triple to meet both ends for their family is not a joke. Let us all be considerate , appreciate their hardwork. A mere "How are you" without asking for something is a delight for them. Let us give them reason to go on , make worthy of their sacrifices. Study hard while your parent or siblings are working away from you to send you to schools. Invest their hard earned money or atleast don't spend it with nonsense things. If they send you something , say "Thank You!" whatever it is , don't ever think it's their obligation. If you have a chance , send them something too. Don't forget they are family and not a money machine. As they are working hard , you should work hard too. Either keep your house tidy , study hard , save and most of all show them you care. Not just on the date of remittances but as often as possible. I remember my mom's brother whose living in California with his family too , telling us. Hey ! i'm collecting some soda cans in our area so i could sell it and have some extra bucks so i could send it all to you this Christmas. Is'nt it heartwarming? They have a stable life there but still think of us and does not forget to send us something every holiday season. We don't ask anything from them they are just happy giving something to us. Something they don't forget , that wherever they are living , we are and will always be a family , a Filipino at heart that knows no boundaries when it comes to family. I let my kids dream high , yes probably away from home too but for us , i don't want to leave home for good, travel i guess in the future but not to live outside my world. At the rate of inflation here is quite really hard but i still choose to stay and fight to survive. For the meantime , i'll make sure to make their wings strong enough , their values firm yet their heart is soft in preparing for a tough life ahead of them. Let their wings soar high in time... and let them know that they can go back anytime with their first home. To all dreamers out tbere , goodluck in chasing your dream life even if it's away from home , fight! Thank you dear friends for the read.

Inflation is really going out of way , nakakaloka na sya masyado. At pag ganitong magpapasko normal naman na tumaas ang mga bilihin pero not too much like what is happening right now. Anyway , we are about to eat lunch pero eto at nagkukukot pa ng sugo habang naghihintay na kumulo yung monggo. hehe! Anong ulam nyo mga besh?

@grey23espartinas

After uttering a short prayer this morning , i took my phone and check some messages. I am used to receiving random messages like this , either i won something or i've been qualified for a job that i don't apply in the first place, hahaha! Galing no? And this one i received countless time from different relatives and friends and of course i just disregard and did'nt bother to click it coz i know it's a fraud. One funny thing was , the one who sent it to me at 12 am is a deceased family member. Geez , if i am such a scary freak baka natakot pako. haha! Haist , those people who tried to scam, bad yan naku baka kunin kayo agad! We may not know you but karma is real . Be vigilant guys and i know you are aware of this already but still just a reminder " Don't click!". Good morning peeps! Have a blast Monday!

@grey23espartinas

Oy lapit na talaga ang pasko mga beb! I had "Bibingka "and coffee for snack this afternoon and my hubby feasted on his favorite " Puto Bumbong" that i forgot to take a shot. Both tasted so good. I just drop by to say goodnight noisers! I'll see you tomorrow! love! love!

Life Away From Home , Brain Drain and Gain No:80-02 November 06,2022 A few days ago , my bestie who just migrate to Melbourne recently sent me a photo of her and family just informing me that they are doing good and adjusting to the weather condition there which is cold compared to our recent weather here in the Philippines which is quite moody like me, lol! Waking up with Mr. Sun smiling so bright at me then it went gloomy then blazing hot again. Geez! i guess the weather here is an aquarian too like me, hahaha! Kidding aside , my bestie says she misses me and just telling me her plans to rest and enjoy their stay there for two weeks before going to hustle and look for a job. Though here , she also have a variety store like me but in her new place she has to work . Her husband is a skilled worker and been to Australia for several years already . Though compensation is quite good but bestie has to work too so she could help her siblings with her own money. Aside from the fact that cost of living there is different compare here in our native land. What make them decide to live there? First it was just her husband applying for a work some years back and no plans of getting my bestie and their daughter to live there.But as years go by and life here in our country is shaky and became unstable they decided to migrate to Australia. Inflation really takes it toll from each and everyone of us. It's getting harder each day. For those working 8 hours plus everyday , compensation was merely spent to transportation and meal expenses everyday. I don't think there will be enough for even a little savings . Ordinary laborer and employees are working just to get by as they say " isang kahig isang tuka!" meaning what you earn for today will just be enough for the day and most of the times not even enough to cover the basic needs. If you want a brighter future and be compensated with your skills the right way, then one solution is to live and work in a foreign land with your family. Sad but true. Main reason why many Filipinos are living and working in different sides of the world coz of the level of pay. Workers here are not compensated fairly . Just enough to feed a family of three or some are ranting not even enough to feed a family. === According to reports , as early since the 70's ,our country has been experiencing "brain drain " with the migration of highly skilled professionals such as Physicians, Teachers , Mechanics , Engineers and others. They are practicing their professions and skills outside the country or in the foreign land. A Brain drain in our country yet a brain gain for the receiving country. During the heights of the pandemic , a brain drain in the field of health professionals such as Doctor's and Nurse's are evident. A shortfall in such field occurred while the country are battling with covid-19. Lack of financial opportunities and career growth are some of the reasons why they migrate to other country. Disparity in a workplace and some other causes. Best example is one of my cousin whose a Licensed Dentist here and was having a clinic at St. Lukes Hospital but chooses to migrate to NewYork and study again and now a Certified Registered Nurse in NY. The compensation she's getting as a Licensed Dentist here was way way too far from what she's getting now as a Registered Nurse in NY. A 100$ per hour . Though cost of living and taxes in NY is quite really high , but still they could live an ideal lifestyle of their choice. Career growth is brighter definitely. It pays off to work hard in there as she kept telling me. In conclusion My daughter is currently in her Grade 11 and still has a year to finish her Senior high but as early as today, already thinking of working abroad when she finished college and have a degree. Started dreaming a life she wants not here but in the foreign land as well. I can't blame her though . Not that she does not like to live here anymore but she can't seem to grasp what future holds for her if she works here. Patriotism aside yet practicality shall arise. Will you blame our youth to dream high and build a life away from home? Thank you for your time again dear friends. Thank you so much for the continuos support though i was away for almost a week. And to my lovely Sponsors , as always "Salamat ng Marami!" May you all be blessed always. `Lead image from Unsplash.` grey23espartinas

Halloween Vibe with Flood on the Side. No: 79-01 It's been a while since I published my last article. The recent typhoon Paeng brought floodings in our area that makes me so tired during the past days , cleaning and rearranging things . I am not yet done with my high stacks of laundry that files up as high as me coz it's been raining for days. All Saint's day just passed by like an ordinary day. Most of the people here just stayed home and light a candle in front of their houses or in the altar and offered a short prayer for their loved ones coz our local cemetery is also flooded. I need to do lots of catching up , reading and writing as well. Hope the coming days and weeks before Christmas will not be rainy anymore . We don't want to celebrate the holidays submerge in water, not again! lol! Roads are still passable though coz it was elevated three times already if i'm not mistaken. It was constructed a few years back so as not to repeat the scenario years ago that people cannot go to town proper to buy supplies due to high flood water. Even rescuers that time was having a hard time to do their job coz roads are not passable. ==== Since there was still flood in our surroundings during All Saint's day, we're not able to go to the cemetery , we are "Team Bahay" as they refer to people who stayed home to celebrate an event . It's been 16 years that my mom's gone and for that long years i haven't seen her in my dreams but i could feel her presence sometimes . My daughter and her cousins just did some halloween make up and photo shoot to entertain themselves and have something to do inside the house. Here's some of her photo's. She was able to express her artistic side into it. I don't know whose character she's portraying though, lol! Is it creepy enough? === That's it for now friends coz i am really tired and just want to share to you some bits of happenings why i'm not around for almost a week. As long as i'm done with all the things that should be done , i'll try my best to catch up on you guys by reading your works. Hope you won't forget me though. Thank you for the read guys!

Gooood morning noisers! It's nice to start the day seeing Mr. Sun's rays on my window. After a week of gloominess, now i am pretty sure that it will be a very bright day . No signs of rain for today and i am really glad for that. This will be a busy day again but i will try to catch up with you guys. Have a nice day to you all!

Sun is up and I am truly glad , hope it will last until i finish our laundry that files up as high as me, haha! Sooo busy with household chores . May tubig pa din sa sementeryo kaya hindi pa rin kami makapunta. Kumusta ang Undas sa inyo mga friends?

Happy Halloween everyone! Hehe , yan ang set up sa bahay ng ate ko at the moment . Naglunch habang lubog ang paa sa tubig. Magkatabi lang ang bahay namin though medyo mataas ang flooring ng house ko kaya walang tubig pero ang bakuran meron. May second floor naman sila kaya keri lang, yun nga lang ang hirap kasi yung ibang gamit kung saan saan na nakalagay. Hindi rin kami nakapasyal sa sementeryo pero alam ko namang naiintindihan ng mama ko yun, hehe! alam nyang bahain ang lugar namin. Sila na lang daw nila ng lola at lolo ko ang dadalaw sa amin, hahaha! bet ko yun, lol! Mas katakot ang leptospirosis kesa sa anong multo para sakin, hahaha! Happy Halloween;

Usually kapag ganitong araw dagsa na ang taong namimili ng bulaklak pero dahil baha pa sa ilang baranggay kasama na ang sa amin , mangilan ngilan lang ang tao sa paligid. Matumal ang benta ng mga nagtitinda. Kami sa bahay na lang magtutulos ng kandila at mag-ooffer ng prayer. Makulimlim na umaga , good vibes pa din mga kaingay! Happy halloween!

This is the newly built cemetery near our place , though spacious and not prone to flooding as they advertise coz it's elevated several feet from the road , but the road to get there is flooded😅 So what's the sense of buying a space or lot there , if you can't visit your departed love ones buried in there!? lol! Just asking though? hihi! Goodnight fellas! Have a sweet dream😴
