other side of happiness :)

Java Chip and Belgian Waffle for lunch

I can live without drinking soft drinks but can't resist any coffee especially my all time favorite Java chip from Starbucks. :) 

pineapple for breakfast :)

Three years of taking Prednisone gave me so much weight, so I decided to control myself in other things like eating too much. I can't stop medicines because they are considered my life support. Many are asking me now what is my secret in losing weight. First, I enrolled myself in Aerobics. Second, I modified my diet. Third, I keep myself active by helping in household chores. And the most important of all, remind yourself that you're beautiful no matter what. In the end, it is not the physical appearance that counts.

I Call It FAITH

Last January 2, 2012, the original pictures of Virgen delos Remedios and Sto. Cristo del Perdon arrived here in our town. It was a great blessing to us.  The Church celebrates Mass every 4am, 12noon and 6pm. Anointing of the Sick is done after the mass. On the 4th day of the month, 



I received the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. At first, I’m not comfortable because everyone’s looking at me. I understand them because it is not really obvious that I have this chronic illness within me. 

I felt so blessed. I cried when our parish priest is in front of me. I began to experience strong emotions I never felt before. It feels like God gave me new strength, new hope and I really felt Him that time. 

Thank you Lord for being my friend, my counselor, my doctor and my everything.
