9.6CM changed my life

January 16, 2011

I was sound asleep one Sunday morning and I woke up with my mom shaking me and crying at the same time. They went to Hi-Precision for their yearly check-up and the radiologist discovered a 9.6cm mass in my Dad’s liver. My mom feared the worse. The radiologist asked my mom to go to consult a doctor.

9.6cm is bigger than the size of an ear ad. 9.6cm is the size of a big fruit.

We were really afraid. I saw my dad cry quietly in the corner.

I was in denial but I couldn’t help crying by myself in the bathroom.

The liver is the second largest organ in the body. It controls the flow of blood to the rest of the body and the liver is hard to treat.

Panic set in. It couldn’t be. We couldn't believe the results that we were seeing. My dad doesn’t smoke, doesn’t drink, nor does he eat fatty food. He watches his weight and exercises daily.

I feared the worst. We all feared the worst.

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Around Manila: Exploring the streets of J.P. Rizal in Marikina

It is funny how we know the history and culture of a land we do not live in yet know so little about where we live. Thus, began our mission to explore Manila, one city at a time. DESTINATION: Marikina Starting Time: 11am End Time: 5pm How to get to J.P. Rizal in Marikina - Waze (app) and Google Maps Marikeno (native people in Marikina) are said to be the most disciplined people in the Philippines. If the cleanliness around Marikina were a testament to that, Marikenos would pass with flying colors. The streets I could say were similar to those in Singapore - free from litter and we saw people from households cleaning their own front area even if it were facing a street. SHOE CAPITAL of the Philippines Marikina produces 70% of the shoes in the country. and holds the World's Largest Pair of Shoes, recognized by the Guinness World Records. In Marikina, you can find the Shoe Museum which houses 800 out of the 3000 shoes that were part of the famous shoe collection of the
