I feel bad, I have colds and it really got me though I'm ignoring it for few days now. Yesterday it got worst i have to take the advice of my friends to take it easy and rest.

I don't consider colds and flu as something i should take care of. I would just go around and do my normal things even if i got fever. Usually colds will take only 2 to 3 days for me to tackle with but this time its getting me and the worst my son got the virus from me too and had him skip school today!!! d--n!!!

What makes me feel so bad was last Friday was the interment of my best friend's husband. I really wanted to be there for my friend Helen but some old folks told me.. its not good for someone who is sick to attend funerals. It could worsen and it could lead to death....waaahhhh i don't know where this superstitious belief came from but it kinda scare me... what if its true mmmmm i decided not to risk going anyway not only of the superstitious belief but of the scorching heat that could be fatal for my colds... that surely could lead to something bad for me..

Helen's story is so interesting.. as i had written in my blog few months ago, her husband had bone cancer surgery. He had been totally bedridden for more than 2 years and the worst was , he couldn't move any part of his body. He was a total vegetable and Helen was with him all thru those days he was suffering. They had spent millions of money for hospital bills. I remember Helen telling me one time I had ask her how she could take it all.. she just recited to me this phrase... "For better or for worst for richer and poorer... til death do us part" then I knew LOVE can be a very amazing thing. I remember how beautiful and pretty she was when she was wedded to her husband 20 years ago and was so in love i thought that could be a never ending love story for them.

Last few months, Helen had surgery for myoma while her husband was at home and cant do anything to support her in the hospital as he was bedridden. I had to volunteer assisting her. I am a person who would faint if i see and smell blood but that time i knew she needed me so i had to rally up my courage and be there right outside the operating room. When i saw her being brought to the recovery room and saw her pale and unconscious, all blood was drained from me. i sat at the couch and feel myself about to faint. I ask the nurse how long she had to stay in the recovery room and the nurse told me she had to stay for 2 hours there before she will be brought to her room. So the nurse told me to wait in her room until she is brought there and this relieved me coz i really need to lay down, i feel I'm ready to faint. The nurse must have sense that!!

I feel so sad when i remember the last time i had chatted with her husband. He was so full of hope even in his situation. He was hoping for a miracle and it really squeezed my heart. So many times Helen had to run away from him to hide the tears in her eyes. She is a very strong woman.

Love can endure it all, and love can conquer all. Relationships cant last forever... but love surely can last beyond forever.

Anyway, I have to run but before i go i want to greet all mothers..."HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY" Some mothers are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers.. but it is love just the same.. and most mothers kiss and scold together... HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all kissing and scolding moms out there.

HAVE A NICE DAY EVERYONE!!!

ENJOY LIFE

.... today is another day.

Last night i was watching the news in the TV. For more than a week i have closely monitored the news about the story of the known media broadcaster and commentator Ted Failon and his wife Trina Etong who had committed suicide or is it murder?

It was being known that the main reason she committed suicide was because of financial problems that happened to the family. I then ask my neighbor, while she was peeking at my door while i was watching the news last night, "Do u think money can be a good reason to take one's life?" Sheila then grunted.. "naaaahhhhhh!!! i don't have money but i still want to live" lol good answer Sheila, i answered. I don't have money too but i feel the same way, I want to live long!

What makes me interested was the way the police handled the case and what they did in arresting almost all the relatives and the household help and the driver. Everyone was charged with "Obstruction of Justice." and they were practically picked and roughly shove to police cars and treated like a convicted criminal. OMG.. i mumbled while watching the scene of the arrest.

Yesterday was the day the wife was cremated, and last night, while i was watching the tribute of the husband Ted Failon to his wife, i was greatly touched about how their romance started. He had told how the family had misunderstanding when at 18 his wife run away with him and they got married amidst family conflicts. He had told the story about a romance which from richer or poorer they had promised.. 'til death do us part'. I could not hold back my tears when he said in his eulogy... that he is also thinking, after the tragedy that happened, he thinks death is an immediate solution to the problems he is facing too. OMG i mumbled again. i think anyone saying this kind of thing, should be treated seriously and shouldn't be taken for granted. They need help professionally. The depression which could eat up anyone who undergo serious problems can lead to suicidal instincts! Don't u think so Sheila? When i turned again, Sheila was gone. lol.

I had admired how Ted had soared and how he handled the TV segment they had before "Hoy! Gising'. He was great! He lambasted anyone who needed to be shaken up especially the government servants. Shaken up as in practically. The program was great but it didn't last long.. maybe mainly cause it did its purpose in shaking up anyone sleeping.. ha ha that was what "hoy gising" mean.

What i don't understand is why the police had been so harsh in their handling of his case. Hey guys, is there something else going on? some speculated that what the police did was some rest back at the broadcaster. mm mm maybe so i don't really know but i think its obvious.

Now i must get back to work. I am tired but i want to live. Life is good. Let's enjoy life... but live it sensibly. To live is not about having money or achievements... but to be happy. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.
