i read a book on “sisu” - it’s the Finnish trait summed up by courage, caring for yourself and others, embracing integrity and honesty, being decisive, avoiding unnecessary drama, being respectful, building perseverance and tenacity, yet going through all of life’s inevitable struggles with quiet dignity... i wanted to emulate them & keep this chapter of my life private, but the PMPC awards are coming this weekend and there can’t be “privacy” when you want to give due RESPECT to people who have chosen to give you the Ading Fernando Lifetime Achievement Award pero hindi ka pwedeng makadalo dahil palipad kayo ng Singapore. i had promised all of you that this feed would only have the happy moments that kuya josh, bimb, and i experience. i’m keeping most of that promise by sparing all of us the details kung bakit kailangan kong lumipad and have my tests, 3 months early. To the PMPC, kuya josh & bimb shall attend on my behalf, you have my sincerest apology for not personally accepting your heartwarming award- ganun kalaki po ang respeto ko sa mga miyembro ng entertainment press na pinili kong magsabi ng kalagayan ng health ko ngayon, dahil ayokong ma offend kayo kung hindi ninyo alam ang totoo. With God’s grace i hope to be better by the time of your Christmas party at sana dun ako makabawi sa inyo. i have also told you i shall no longer chronicle my struggles, those are my personal battles best immortalized only after a decisive victory. So when days or weeks go by & this feed is quiet, then that’s me holding on to my “sisu” and practicing my “kintsugi” wellness, with some “hilot” included. 🇸🇬 to 🇫🇮 to 🇯🇵 and back to 🇵🇭.

Kuya Josh has 2 songs of tito willie on repeat mode: Ikaw Na Nga and Kung Para sa ‘Yo. ate natchie took these videos of the 2 walking hand in hand this morning so i’d see kuya’s happiness. the material generosity from willie is much appreciated, pero ito po yung nagpatunaw sa puso ko bilang mama ni kuya josh, dahil ang super favorite nyang si tito willie— binigyan sya ng buong umagang bonding... sabay sila nag breakfast, nag walking, and nag swimming... it brings to mind this Maya Angelou quote: PEOPLE WILL FORGET WHAT YOU SAID, PEOPLE WILL FORGET WHAT YOU DID, BUT PEOPLE WILL NEVER FORGET HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL. ngayon na uncertain ang panahon, lahat tayo may dalang kaba sa ating mga puso, seeing my panganay’s smile made me realize, when given the chance- let’s choose to love, choose to share, and choose to be kind. 🤍🤍🤍

mahaba pa ang laban, pero hindi masamang magpasalamat. 1st time na kaming 3 lang, kuya josh, bimb, and me... naghanap ng mga kaibigan dito and thank God Alvin & Rochelle found us some of the kindest people. I praise God, the pediatrician, Dr delos Reyes checked bimb again- upper respiratory infection & bronchial asthma. No pneumonia, no fever, pero matamlay kasi maraming gamot na iniinom. Tinutulungan ako ni Check & Randy (from willie), ni ate Loida & her family, ni nurse Mona, and the very kindhearted Mayor of Puerto Galera, Mayor Rocky Ilagan. Maraming salamat sa staff ng resort na tinutuluyan namin (i’ll name the place & share pics pag okay na). And thank you sa mga taga Mercury na tumutulong talaga para mahanap ang maintenance na gamot ko. Sobrang mabait & welcoming ng mga taga Puerto Galera- sa lockdown na ito they have made us feel secure, welcomed & cared for. God bless you all. I pray for all our healthcare workers. Many have become my close friends & i salute their heroic efforts. Romans 8:NIV [28] And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
