Blog Challenge: What do you do when you’re home all alone? Well, I’ve never really been home alone ever since I gave birth. But before that, I used to be home all alone most of the time. If it is a weekday, what I normally do is sleep. Well, channel surf, check facebook, check emails, chat with a few friends who are still online during wee hours in the morning then sleep before the sun rises. During weekends, well, that depends on my mood. When I didn’t have any scheduled night out on that weekend, I usually sleep the day […]

Blog Challenge: What’s your biggest fear? We all have our own fears, I would think. Even the riskiest person would have his own fear, only he chooses to overcome the fear. Being the control freak that I am, I would say that my biggest fear would be the unknown. I don’t like not knowing what will happen. I don’t like not being prepared at some point. It’s not like I fear the unknown to the point of going paranoid. And thinking of the unknown would not really scare me to the point of freezing and not able to move. And […]
Countdown Terminated
Having no control with the situation is making me mad, truth to be told. We are running against time but time is making us wait. And it is really, really frustrating that there is nothing else I could do but wait.
Every time we get closer to having an end to this, whatever you call this, we get pushed back and we are being pushed back big time.
This delay is putting me on the edge and I don’t know how long I could keep my cool in this situation. Telling me that everything will be fine is no longer comforting, rather it irks me all the more because every time something happens, it doesn’t happen for the better. It always becomes a dreaded event.

Blog Challenge: What do you collect? Over the years, I have collected several things. One of the earliest collections I’ve had was the stamps. I got interested in it when I was back in grade school, I think, because of a field trip that we went to. I cannot remember what the trip was all about. All I can remember was that I bought a couple of stamps. And that started my collection. I got all the mails that my Mom kept and cut out the stamps. I think I had about almost 200 stamps collected. Now that I think […]

Blog Challenge: 5 Blogs you read on a regular basis and why Nowadays, I don’t have that much time to really follow blogs on a regular basis given all the tasks that I need to do. But here are a few of the blogs that I read on every now and then: 1) http://mylittlepirate.wordpress.com I was searching for information about cataract glasses when I found this blog. I started following the blog because it is about an infant’s journey with congenital cataract. My son has the same condition so I found this blog full of insights of what I can […]

Blog Challenge: Where are you happiest? If you asked me this question about a year ago, I would probably say “anywhere but here”, where here is defined as the place where I am currently living for a period of time. I am a restless person and would rather be going places rather than staying in just one place. Once I get restless, I have to getaway. I have to go somewhere. If I have been cooped in at home for a few days, going to the mall is enough to make me happy. Anything that will change my current environment. […]

Blog Challenge: Why and When did you start blogging? Geez, I think I have been blogging for more than ten years now. I have had several blogs over the years. I cannot remember the very first one that I had though. Then there was one blog site that I had before (the site shut down early this year after trying to fully convert the site to an online shopping site). For the longest time, I maintained a blog with Multiply.com. If the site is still alive today, I would probably still use that. The very first one I created as […]

Blog Challenge: What’s your biggest accomplishment? I really don’t take note of the things that I accomplish. Well, not consciously, anyway. Especially for those “accomplishments” that really makes a difference. For me, to say that I have accomplished something would mean that I have made an impact in some sort of over-all scheme (Note as previously mentioned: high expectations of myself). I think I could say that my being able to be independent is my the biggest accomplishment, so far. When I moved out of the house and ventured on my own into the chaotic corporate world, I was living […]

Blog Challenge: List 10 Things that make you awesome Wow, talk about vanity! LOL! I don’t know. I don’t think I am awesome in any way. I think I am in constant need of rework to become one. I would think that I am the opposite of awesome. But then again, that’s just me. I think I have very high expectations of myself that even I fall short of it. So, let’s see if we can come up with a list of 10 things. But first, let’s define awesome. Just so we can align the things that will be listed. […]
And The Countdown Begins
My son was born with congenital bilateral cataract. For my son’s first week of life, I was actually hoping and praying so hard that it was just a film covering his eyes caused by his jaundice (I read something about this one when I was doing research). During his confinement, we got a referral to a pedia-ophthalmologist (who I later on learned was not really a pedia-ophtha). My heart broke when the doctor confirmed that my son indeed have cataracts in both eyes. The only option given us was surgery. There is no other way to correct cataract but to extract the lens from the eyes. While the doctor was explaining, my mind was raising. How? Why? Howcome it did not show any sign of it during pre-natal check ups?
