What IF…?
How would you feel if you’re only given a maximum of six months to live?
This is not a meme, a tag or a question of the week.
My sister-in-law was diagnosed with a stage 4 breast cancer. It was sudden, devastating, heartbreaking news for us. She’s the closest SIL to me among my six others. If you saw her you couldn’t tell that she’s suffering from a deadly disease. That’s what she herself and the rest of us thought so. Cancer really is a traitor. Sometimes, its symptoms would show at its peak stage. The same case with my mother, she wasn’t ill or bed-ridden all her life but then after she was diagnosed with a liver cancer her life had ended in two months time. How cruel isn’t it? But that was another story…seven years ago.
I had a long talked with my sister this morning. She told me about the latest info about SIL. The doctor said chemotherapy will extend her life for two years. Two years? Two years of prolong sufferings? And it has no guarantee they said, depending how her body would sustain and react with the therapy.
She’s like my own real sister. I love her more than my brother. My parents love her so dearly when they were still alive. Because she’s the best sister-in-law and daughter-in-law in our family.
I am a thousand miles away, besides some financial assistance; a prayer is the best thing I could offer for her right now. Only God could tell and could make changes…
Paalala lang: Huwag po nating isawalang bahala ang minor pains na nararamdaman natin. lalo na kung ito ay paulit ulit na.

LUNTIAN
tema: LUNTIAN
Luntian! Tamang tama…panahon na ng tag-init dito sa Tsina, ang dating mga lagas at walang kulay na mga puno’t halaman noong panahon ng tag-lamig ay nagkaroon na ng buhay at kulay. Ang gandang pagmasdan.
Ang parkeng eto ay malapit lamang sa tinitirhan ko kaya okay na okay maglakad dito pagkagaling sa trabaho. Nakakarefresh ng feeling! At ang likuran nito ay dagat na.
Eto naman ay nasa labasan lamang. Minsan kinukulit ko si asawa na ipitas ako ng mga bulaklak diyan. Kaso ayaw at nakakahiya raw. Oo nga naman ano…ako talaga oo!
Ang mamula-mula at may halong berdeng prutas. Maligayang araw ng mga kaberdehan este kaluntian…tama ba? hmm…
Balingkinitan
tema: Balingkinitan
Kumusta mga kapatids na litratista? Namiss ko kayo! Dalawang linggo ng LP ang hindi ako nakasali. Nagkaproblema ang isang site ko kaya sumulat ako kay madam admin na lilipat na lang ako dito. Salamat madam.
Medyo nahirapan ako sa ating tema, balingkinitan? Wala akong maisip na ilahok, marami naman sanang balingkinitan dito sa paligid ko kaya lang mahirap nang kuhanan sila ng larawan at ilathala dito baka tayo’y mademanda. 
Sarili ko na lang kaya? Sabi ng konsensiya ko..“mahiya ka, balingkinitan ka ba?” ay oo nga pahiya ako. Those were the days pa pala iyon, hay…miss ko na ang kaseksihan ko noong araw. “YUCK”! sabi uli ng konsensiya ko.
Kaya ayan kinuhanan ko na lang ng litrato ang ipininta ko. Balingkinitan naman siya ‘di ba? Pwede na ba iyan?
Doon nga pala sa mga gustong sumali, bisita lang kayo dito http://www.litratongpinoy.com hanggang sa muli. Adiyos!
Friday night, wine and rambling
After dinner me and hubby normally sat up in front of the television, watching news from filipino channel through dream satellite. As usual, it’s still the heartbreaking report of the partially submerged MV Princess of the stars ship owned by Sulpicio lines, it was capsized off the coast of San fernando Romblon @ the height of typhoon few weeks ago, with a total passenger of almost 800 including the captain and the ship crews. Killing indefinite number of people, only few had survived, other’s still nowhere to be found…most of them were entrap inside.
Relatives of the victims kept on pouring at the shipping line but this time, not the whereabouts of their relatives but on the claims of 200K bucks compensation the shipping line has to offer.
A lot of chaos and anger and sobbing…it was distressing.
I even dreamt of it last night seeing trapped kids wanted to get out of the ship. I opened my eyes, trying to wake up..then for a few seconds my eyes were shut and the same scene occurred. I’m not sure if it’s still a dream or I was just affected by the catasthrope.
Kaya minsan ayaw ko nang manood ng balita, but sometimes I feel guilty by totally ignoring what’s happening around. That’s all I can do, to sympathize. Holy moly!
Followed by a distressing news of oil prices and basic commodities that soaring up high…the rallies of jeepney drivers, operators and etc. We heard grievances all over…not only in Philippines but other countries too. In India, several protesters had been killed during a demo. They gripe, you gripe…I also gripe.
The only thing I couldn’t complain and speak up is…when my husband does the dishes, but not the way I like…or his gift for me last christmas is all wrong, but I know he put through into it….or when a cop pulls me over for swerving or for beating the red light. sigh…
Not a good toast!
