took a leave last friday to spend my day with my family. went to baclaran to hear mass and to offer thanksgiving. afterwhich, brought my kids to makati and had lunch at bananaleaf. my son gave this funny remark of how come they don't use real plates. hahaha. i think i should take them out more often. they loved the food though especially the pad thai and egging me to come back.

after lunch we went home and i was planning to get some sleep the rest of the day. however, my friends tricked me into having coffee only to find out it was a surprise dinner party in tiendesitas. there were bands playing...called their music bagong himig. i didn't like it though it was a bit noisy for my taste. but i had fun. its nice to know that i have friends who love me. they even brought cake that had a number 30 candle. turned out my candle-age was out of stock...i said it must be because  at this age i shouldn't be blowing candles anymore...hahahah.

got drunk with my girlfriends. tasted the mindoro sling that was made of fruits and tanduay. it tasted like juice. had 4 pitchers. just enough alcohol for me to get home decent. hehehe

yesterday, with a bad hangover...went to medical city to see my endocrinologist. saw him in the middle of the week feeling a bit weird. only to find out that my hypertension was back. i was ordered to have a few lab tests. turned out i have full blown diabetes. he said this is a lifetime sickness. my liver is badly infected so i have to be given insulin shots twice a day. i was also referred to a few specialists to take care of my other organs.

after my dad died, and my boss went on leave, i hardly had the time to go back to my doctors. my bad! honestly, i'm scared. suddenly, i felt how precious life is for me to take for granted. i worry for my kids who are so young and who depends on me to be healthy for them.

been too busy complaining for what i do not have. shame on me. i should celebrate my life and what God has blessed me with. whatever is His plans for me..I will accept it with open arms. i pray that He give me more time for my kids. i thank Him for giving me a challenging career where my efforts were ultimately recognized. i pray for my health that i could celebrate more birthdays with my family. i pray for healing. i thank Him for wonderful friends who love me for who and what i am.

i want to celebrate my life with each passing day that He bless me with. i want to celebrate it with you...
