Emotional support... [006]

Nothing new, just went to work. Prepared for the presentation on Monday and the office hours ended.

Went home and bought 50% off sushi rolls for dinner.

Arrived home then K asked me if can go home. Arrive home before the results comes out. Papa needs emotional support. The result will be out next week.

In my mind, now i'm sure this is serious. There's a lot going on in my mind. how to apply leave? where to get money for the plane ticket? how will be the future?

Right now, Mi and I are checking my leave if I can go home.

Just got a message. Mama is crying. K said, she is not crying in front of Papa. She doesn't want to show any sign of weakness. and I agree.

I just booked a plane ticket. I will be going home this Tuesday.

1L fluid... [005]

Morning came.

Woke up and I remembered going to the Embassy to get my new passport. Hurried taking a bath, preparing and went on.

On my way, i tried to wake up Mi for their meeting for Taba's Halloween party. She didn't go; rather, she can't go as Taba is still not well.

As for Ahya, he is having an exam week (My eldest son). He said he did good. But let's see.

There's a long way going to the Embassy and while going there, K told us that there was fluid extracted from Papa. almost a liter and there are few left that can be removed by antibiotics.

Mi visits papa... [004]

This morning when i woke up, I read the message telling me that my youngest kid, Taba, has fever and vomiting.

Then, i remember, last night she told me Taba did eat a lot. Taba likes eating.

So i told her, to get him to doctor to be examined.

Came afternoon, Mi, taba and Mama Na went to doctor which is in the same hospital as Papa.

She told me, Taba is fine, might  just because of over-eating. Doc also told her not give him any food if he will vomit it out again. so pedialite was given to re hydrate him.

Taba and Mama Na then went home so he can rest.

Mi went on to visit papa. She told me papa seems fine as he now do casual talks.

Also, today is the day he got tested. he waiting for hours just to be tested. 9AM then went on to be 12PM.

Papa told Mi that the needles hurt.

Confinement day... [003]

Morning starts.

Tired from last night cleaning the water leak. The leak is between my flatmate and my room. Smells like wet market fish section.

Today, i'm supposed to go to the Embassy to collect my new passport which has 10 years validity. But i thought to myself, the AC cleaner will be arriving today as well. I might miss them; chance to fix the leak problem.

Cleaner came, leak fixed.

Took a bath, went to Pinoy store for my lunch at 5:00PM.

I was then told, Papa will be confined in CGH. Dr. Dy was supposed to at him backed-out as she is leaving the country soon. They waited almost half a day to be admitted (Papa, Mama and A).

Now, they are waiting for the room. I wished this will be faster so Papa can rest.

Same goes with Mama who for 2 days straight going out and doing this. If only... nevermind.

Just a back photo of him going to Toilet.

Tita M calls... [002]

The day started with me early morning going out of bed to start preparing to go to work. Usual feeling, tired and sleepy.

Went to toilet and started to bathe. Then from the messenger I received a notification; from Tita M, asking if she can call. I told her, later in the middle of my shower.

In my mind, what is her purpose for the call? is it to gauge if I'm okay? or perharps guilty that thinking she might be slightly responsible for it? Whatever the case, i decided to talk to her.

Finished preping up, started going to the train station and my commute will commence. "this train will alight at Jurong East platform A" announcement from the train management.

I hop in to the MRT and told Tita M that we are okay to talk.

It went okay. More on to the normal "kamustahan". In the end, i even told her feel free to call me if she just needs someone to talk to.

In my mind, when faced with tradegy, your truce face will show. Not sure if positive or negative, but I appreciate the call.

===

Later in the afternoon, Mi gave a screenshot where a friend of achi read the findings. He is a TB USAID. He said it could be cancer and at least stage 3. Shocked.

So the news came... [001]

While I am writing this, i still don't know what to feel.

My brother messaged me saying "it is almost confirmed". I asked what. He said, "the mass almost confirmed to be cancerous."

My father, Papa.

We are now just waiting for the biopsy to really confirm that the mass is either benign or malignant. Tita N was updated, Mi was updated.

Next move after the confirmation is operation (if still can). If not, radiation/chemo.

We really don't know what the future holds. People just hope/pray for the better. I hope for the best. I really hope for the best

Big Bang "A" - We Like 2 Party

YG entertainment just released the new music video for the A part of the MADE series. The song is We Like 2 Party.

Comparing this to the first one, Bang Bang Bang, this song have this summer/lay-back feeling. If you are familiar with Big Bang songs, this song have the same feeling like Sunset Glow. Personally, I like this better than Bang Bang Bang.

Personal rating for the MADE album 3/4 :). So far so good. Which do you prefer, Bang Bang Bang or We like 2 Party? Tell me! Ciao!

Big Bang "A" - Bang Bang Bang

Last month, Korean Kpop idol group Big Bang made its come back after 3 long years. Their anticipated comeback (MADE) is divided into 4 parts, M-A-D-E. And every month, starting May, they will be release songs.

Last month, M, they released Loser and Bae Bae. Both songs received positive reviews and tops Korean music chars.

Last night, A, they released the next part of their album. The first song release is Bang Bang Bang. You can watch it below.

Personally, I am not feeling this song compared to the first two. But let's see. Let me know what you think. Ciao!

Nike Blazer Mide SB Elite – Lance Mountain x Craig Stecyk – Motorcycle Jacket

I don't usually lose my mind over nike shoes or even just shoes but when i saw this, i went loco. I wanted to buy it immediately.

Note: Photo is from Caliroots

The name of the shoe is Nike Blazer Mide SB Elite – Lance Mountain x Craig Stecyk – Motorcycle Jacket. Long name, right? Yes. Apparently, this shoe is the result of the collaboration of Nike SB and skate legends Lance Mountain and Craig Stecyk.

I tried researching the internet on where & how much that shoe would cost. But to my dismay, the shoe was released on 2008! (7 years ago!) and no online store is selling it anymore.

My world is crushed. All hope is lost.

I just hope that nike will have re-stock of this shoe. Ciao! :)

Blogging again

After months of being silent in the blogging world, here I come back.

I said before that we will be blogging more often coming this year but we can't. We got busy. As we welcomed the new year, we also welcomed a new member of our team. My second son :)

This little angel is the reason why we weren't able to blog as we would like to. Sleepless nights.

But starting today, we would like to start again. Hope to blog more this year! Ciao! :)
