Maaga pa lang ngunit abala na ang mga tao sa aming lugar. May nagwawalis ng bakuran, lumalabas upang pumasok sa kani-kanilang opisina, mga batang bumibili sa tindahan, mga kasambahay na abala sa kanilang pang araw-araw na gawain.
Ngunit me isang umantig sa aking damdamin. Isang taong nagbubungkal ng basura sa tapat bahay. Naisip ko lang ninais ba ng taong ito ang kanyang kalalagayan sa buhay? Baka lamang bunsod ng kawalan ay nagawa niya ang ganitong uri ng hanap buhay para sa kanyang pamilya. Nabuo tuloy sa aking kamalayan ang tanong na, Kung siya ba ay bibigyang pagkakataon na baguhin at mapabuti ang kanyang katatayuan sa buhay gagawin kaya nito? Malamang na sagot ay "OO".
Ito ang mga tanong na nabuo sa aking isipan. Hindi nalalayo dito ang pagkaantig ng aking damdamin para sa taong nabanggit at paghanga sa mga katulad nila na nagsisikap upang umahon at labanan ang hamon ng buhay. Nagsisilbi rin silang inspirasyon sa mga tulad kong may dinaraang pagsubok sa buhay.
Hindi ko na hahanapan pa o sisisihin pa ang kung sinu-sino ang may sala kung bakit may mga ganyang uri ng pamumuhay sa ating bansa. Kayo na lamang ang magsalita kung bakit nagkakaganoon.
Ang sa akin lamang ay isang panalangin isang magandang buhay sa lahat, iyong may sapat na panustos sa bawat pangangailangang medikal, pabahay,sapat at mabuting edukasyon at pagkain ang bawat tahanan. Siguro nga malayo pang mangyari na bumaba ang halaga ng basic commodities sa ating bansa pero sana mangyari. "Wishful thinking but its true".

TIME
Can time erase the memories of that fateful day?
Will time heal the hurt and the pain?
Will time mend what has been broken?
Would it bring back the same relationship that you have?
Probably, I think so, no one knows.
Because it will be forever imbeded in your mind, sure you can forgive and let go of the hurt. But you can never forget what it's like to suffer.
By doing so you will make yourself vulnerable.
Probably they are right only time can tell...

JUST . . . .
I am creating this just because I wanted to share what I feel right now, my views, and just . . . . wanted to share and express something.
Have you ever felt that even though you are surrounded by people, friends, family and loveones, you still feel alone?
You laugh, interact and go on with your daily schedule and yet you are still empty and you feel that no one is there for you....
I am at this stage right now, but I am not lost and empty.. just deep in thought kind of way. I laugh because I have too, I listen and get along just as a normal, ordinary individual would do.
Why am I this way.... because I care, I listen and share their burdens, in short if someone needs a sounding board I'm there, I would hear them whine, hear them about their woes, problems and everything. While I add these things up to my own worries and problems.
Funny thing though, when its me who needs someone to JUST listen to me,nobody's there for me. I asked the LORD to forgive me for feeling this way, but sometimes, I just wanted someone tangible and interactive (LOL) to be there and listen to what's on with my life, how do I feel etc.
Surely I have friends but I don't know I feel that they won't understand me. It's not that they are aliens or something :))) Wala e.
Maybe I am being too contained, or choosy or privy to my feelings, I don't, someday I might find someone to share my thoughts, listen, as in really really hear me out and talk too.
As for now, I will content myself in writing my feelings out. That's why I've created this post, it's my private haven to express myself. A release.
And to all those who share the same feelings such as I do... Just hold on and pray, God is always there to listen. How the Lord will answer back its up to him how he will deal with us.

Recounting my Hospital Experience Part 3
It's been awhile since I updated my page. But who cares no one reads this except me. Also as I recuperate, I started to slowly get back on the things I was doing. So di ako nakasulat agad ng entry ko. Sus, who am I kidding hehehe . . . hindi ko na ito nabalikan agad kasi nabusy period! hahaha . . .
Well anyway, the third part of my story is a miracle, as I mentioned in my previous entry I will be undergoing in an angiogram to check how severity of the damage my heart has. BUT PRAISE BE TO GOD..... my heart and the veins of my heart are healthy. The doctor told me that I do have a very big veins na mahirap mabarahan ang mga ugat, (he even asked his assistant that what is this lady doing here when shas a perfectly healthy heart.) He even checked again to see what is really wrong with me 3 times.
I wanted to cry right away, kasi sabi ng mga staff usually a patient that undergoes to an angiogram procedure usually ends up in angioplasty... I think its the operation of the heartor valves of our heart, sort of not sure though, what it is. Basta I all I know it has something to do with the heart.
Like I say, I wanted to cry right there and then but I stopped myself from doing so kasi baka may madetect ang heart monitor yari nanaman ako hehehe . . .
I praised and thank the LORD agad, wala na akong maisip na iba pang gawin kung di yun that time. Just praise the LORD, NAGREMA SA AKIN THAT TIME IS THE WORD OF THE LORD NA "IT IS FINISHED"
Yes, that simple word that the Jesus said, became so alive, as if the words leap through the pages of the bible and manifested itself to me.
Iba eh, all the time we pray that His word would come alive in us always, then we usually, as mere mortals tend to take it forgranted coz were too occupied by our schedules or our daily activities. Or some we are usued to the idea that being christians we know that His grace and protection will protect us, nagiging auto-pilot na lang kung minsan kasi alam natin na andyan si LORD. We take small things forgranted. Kasi nga alam natin na nariyan sya.
But don't take this as nakakalimutan natin sya, it's simply we tend to get sidetracked at times and we just rely on our being christians and renewed by the blood of christ. Kaya nga auto-pilot christians e. Sabi nga ni LORD gusto nya we are in our childlike mode na nakarely lang sa kanya ang every move.
Ay malayo na ata ako sa pagiging buhay na promise ni LORD hahaha.
Back to my story, yun nga that time while I am at the Cardiovascular Operating Room, and found out that wala ngang depresiya ang heart ko, that's all the word that plays in my heart and mind. Tinapos na lahat ng Diyos ang ating mga karamdaman, kamatayan, at kung anu-ano pa. Siya na ang tumapos ng ipinako sya sa krus.
Though sometimes di agad umeeffect, sometimes the waiting itself is the test on how long we will hold on, how long we will go and walk in faith with him, how long we will put our trust in his word.
Yun kasi ako, that's how I see things, though, I sometimes feel down, kasi nga ang dami kong sakit, I have never questioned the LORD, "why me". I just remained in my positive attitude and talk to GOD always, nakakatulugan ko na nga at nakakagisnan ko na nga un e.
As of now as I said marami pa akong pinagdaraanan, hindi pa tapos but I refuse to accept and be defeated by it, I continue to count my blessings everyday and declare war against all forms of sickness. I will and continue to uphold my peace and faith in GOD who gives me strenght and move on to face the day with faith.
Now, I ask friends to please help us in prayer, I know that the battle is the LORD's but its must fun if we knock the doors of heaven and join in proclaiming the victory over our adversaries. Kung baga, cge LORD sama kami dyan.
THE END.

Recounting my hospital experience part 2
Here's the next part. . .
Room number: CVU 6
Patient: Rivera, Glecy
So after some series of tests that was done, another tests are being ordered this time it's more thorough and specific. And we thought that is enough. 2D echo was done, a heart monitor was placed, oxygen was an aid for me to breath, still the cateter was inside me connected to my bladder, my blood pressure was constantly monitored, they extract blood for some blood work up. I have 5 bottles of fluids attached to one IV, my other arm is all bruised as in black and purple because of injections and blood extractions. You cannot extract blood from where the IV line is connected but you could inject into that arm. The pain is tolerable, thanks to nurses and lab techs with caring hands they make it as pain free as they can. But I had to it to the ER guys they are the best in inserting hepblocks and painless blood extraction. Oh hepblocks rubberlike needles that are used to attach IV hoses for the dextrose instead of needles, hepblocks are more flexible and I think it's more safe than metal needles of the old days.
Finally I met my doctor and her associates. She explained to me the results of the test that was done. According to her, I have an elevated blood pressure, a mild mitral valve regurgitation, edema, and I have a heart failure my heart stops beating 4 times for ten seconds and that's in a day. Image your computer rebooting on it's own, that's was my heart doing, I already have episodes of heart attacks, I have a mild pneumonia, and sleep apnea, whew! That was a handful of sickness. Anyway, since according to my doctor I have previously been in a series of heart failures, they will do another thorough test and expensive heart test. This to find out which part of my heart was damaged.
It's called the thallium test. In this test, the heart will be chemically put into stress. They will inject chemicals to put the heart into overdrive
instead of physically doing that thallium will be doing that for you. As a reverse a radioactive chemical again will be it's sort of antidote to calm the heart.
What will I feel along the process, headache, chest heaviness, numbness of legs, fatigue and some dizziness oh and cold sweats. But those lab personnel and doctors did not mention that that chemicals are soooo painful, ad if my nerves are going to explode and it's a four
phase test that I have to endure. And did the procedure took almost a day to finish, thallium test took the whole day to finish. And mind you the pre-test prep is no eating allowed. The agony that I have to endure.
Then the results again, the test shows I have previously encountered a bout of attacks but it didn't say when cause I did not felt it at all.
But they can't see if my arteries are blocked to warrant me an attack nor any deposits on my veins so it's still a puzzle to the doctor's. I can
the hand of the Lord is at work here. though the enemy tries to deceive but the power of the Lord prevails.
My POV. . .
First, I did not feel any episodes of a heartattack before. My blood pressure is way too high and I don't feel any of it's symptoms before,
btw, my BP is 200/100 way too high as to not feel anything right? I don't feel any chest pain or headache. My only complain is shortness of breath cause of my cough. But praise be to God,He still blessed me because I am harm free. Others who as my doctors say experience
what I have been through would be paralysed by now or had a stroke. But due to the favor of God, I made it through with a minor bruise and scratches I should say. Only the Lord can shield us in times of trouble be it calamities, sickness and death itself. His hand and protection is
always, always upon his children. His favor is always ours to take it's our previledge for being the children of God.
As our pastor told me I am blessed because I have experience first hand the the miracle of the Lord his power and mercy upon his children. And mind you I haven't been going to church for a long time. But as I always tell my pastor that never in my mind that i questioned the Lord why me? Of course I worry I would be dense to not too. I'm only human but I keep on asking the Lord for healing everyday specially at night when my nervourness attacks. I keep on lifting my afflictions to God, and I literally would sleep talking to God.
This was also the time when the cliche "thank the Lord for it is a bleeding from God that you are alive and able to enjoy a new day". Well it's true, I told someone that being able to wake up in the morning is a blessing in itself the very first blessing in the morning. Cause God can end your journey on earth in a flick of an eye. Anything can happen our lives is not ours it's His. That's what's in my heart at that times and until now I start by thanking the Lord.
Till the next post. There's another test that I went through and that sealed the deal that the Lord is trully worked miracles in me. Next story na yon.

Recounting my hospital experience part 1
It's good to be able to post again. I was away for a long time. . . Due to illness, and that's the thing that I wanted to write about.
It's the blessing that the Lord our God gave to his children. It's quite a long story though but who cares this is my blog anyway and I want to give back all the glory and honor to our mighty healer. So here is my story. . .
Dec. 19, 2010 when I was admitted to the hospital due shortness of breath and some heart irregularities, my feet is sweeling, and can't talk anymore coz my lungs are filled with water already. What my husband and I thought it's only a simple asthma attack (yes, I also have asthma since dec of 2005). The doctor's at the ER started to get busy soon I am wheeled to the critical section of the ER, tubes, monitors and IV's were injected, a cateter was to be inserted in me to drain out the excess fluid in my body and a series of tests are being done.
All the while I was staying calm and composed while they fuss over me. I could sense my husband getting worried and all but I only smile and stay strong for him. When the doctor told us why they are doing all the test, it's bcoz' my heart accdg to the heart monitor is like a bomb waiting to explode, my BP is way too high and my lungs and my body a full of water. They are trying to lower my blood pressure and I on the other hand wanted them to treat my difficulty in breathing. We're thinking geez what's with this people are doing. Thank God they're kind and nice to patients. A nurse explained to us how grave my situation is. He told us that some patient's with the kind of illness that I have would be very very critically I'll right now or on a 50/50 condition but I on the other hand could still smile, decide what I wanted, talk and watch what's happening around me. The doctor's keeps trying to convince me to stay at the hospital for further treatment. But I don't want to coz staying at the hospital means expenses and we don't have that.
Deep inside I am becoming worried bcoz' they wanted me to stay at an icu room and that acdg to them 30-50k a day. Oh my goodness where in the world will we get that kind of money. But to make the long story short a doctor of a family friend was recommended and at last she told us that I don't have to stay at the icu only a cvu which is a cardiovascular room only so we agreed. And I called up my mom who upon hearing bcame histerical cuz of my illness.
Amidst this chaos and sickness I know deep down that the Lord is there with me and my husband. I know coz I've been praying for my healing and his guidance through all of this, that's what's keeping me strong and that's why I can stay calm through all this. I helped me and it saved my life, because the peace of the Lord is in my heart at that very moment. The nurse that was assigned to me jokingly told us " mam, sobrang tapang nyo" (mam you're so brave) others with the situation you're in would be critical by now but you, you take your situation in stride. I just smiled bcoz' that's faith and the peace of the Lord in my heart. I know healing will come just don't know when but I claim my healing and at peace bcoz' God is in control with my life.
Next part will be the findings and more amazing miracles by God.

Our Sarri-Sari store and Rice Retailing Biz and Returning to post anew
Whew... its been years since I posted my last entry and in blogging time it seems to be light years away. Anyway, I'm here now and itching to post anew. Hmm.... where to start???
Oh we recently opened a sari-sari store(convenience store) with rice. Starting this kind of business is very tricky (for me though) because we started with a few commodities, and from there we started growing it according to what our clients needs. At first I only wanted a rice retailing business but my ever knowing mother insisted that I should put some goods to go with the theme of rice retailing business that I have. I started with phone loads, eggs and some cold cuts business and my ever insisted again neighbors keeps on looking for things that I don't have from there we base on what we will be buying next time.
Having a sari-sari store and rice retailing business, is kindda exhausting. You have to open your store early in the morning and close up late in the evening. But this sacrifices are necessary and I must say fulfilling. My husband and I enjoy what we are doing and the works are just kids stuff na lang... hahaha
As I go along this type of biz, I'm continously researching about this kind of biz. But to my dismay there are only a few write-ups about this kind of biz, I even encountered a blog that connotes a negative vibe against sari-sari stores (I forgot the site. Anyway, buti na lang I came across a site that have a positive feed back about sari-sari stores. This site is very uplifting, I just hope na they reply to me soon.
Enough na muna itong entry ko. Next time again.
