, , ,

Yearly re-post...

October already in just a few days...

Folks, It is that time of the year again--October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month--one that so closely strike a chord in my heart because just like my mother, by GOD's Grace who is a breast cancer Survivor going for 14 years now, I too, am now on my second year after when my journey begun.

Breast cancer is very real and it is important to be aware that it could happen to you, or your loved ones.  Please do not let the ads and campaigns you come across to especially this awareness month, fall into deaf ears--Please participate, support the cause and be informed-- Remember, as with any other health matters, early detection greatly increases the success of your treatment and survival should you be diagnosed with breast cancer. Whoever you are [Men too]...

Another YEAR Worth the PRAISES that SHINES through tears

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Two years ago exactly today, I was praying for my life...now, I want to pause to thank You po, LORD for continuing to grace me with this life and for all the things that You are doing in my life, hopes and dreams , big and small. You are always providing, and making ways for me in capacities unexpected.

It’s amazing what prayer can do. It comforts you, makes you feel whole inside, gives you hope and strength to face many tomorrows.

I hide myself in HIS magnificence and HIS wisdom; but when I ponder HIS goodness, my heart can say nothing - I can only adore!

September 2019 LIFE Celebrations

, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I am entering another milestone year since my breast cancer journey begun...tumor marker results stable, my weight is also stable...not losing much precious pounds.

Though I’ve been sickly and feverish the past few weeks, I am now feeling okay again just in time to celebrate my cousin’s birthday.

I will be your God throughout your lifetime— until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you. ~ Isaiah 46:4 NLT

…and since I haven’t seen John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum yet, I felt so giddy when my boyfriend, Keanu Reeves also got invited via 4K Ultra HD...LOL! 😂📺 Thank you folks! ❤️

I got teary eyed during this scene…

“No I won’t go quietly into...”my pursuit of a Bella HEALTHY Life!

As I always say, “Life is a beautiful struggle”…listen to this…

🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵

You can take the roof from over my head…But you can't take my freedom away…No, I won't go quietly into the night…And I'll sing 'til the light of day…

…this lyrics snippet is from “Yellow Rose” — a film set in Texas about the struggles of an undocumented Filipina single mother and her teenage daughter. 

The film seems to be wonderfully made with all of it’s awards and recognition...and though I can’t relate on the film’s plot, and I am not one to delve into the sensitive area of Politics and immigration debate, so this post is just about how the song lyrics strike a chord in my heart the first time I heard it when the trailer was shown at T.F.C. (The Filipino Channel)

Being a breast cancer survivor and many of life’s frailties, I somewhat felt my freedom was being taken away when I got diagnosed. Through all the dark times in my life and even with wobbling knees, “no I won’t go quietly” into pursuing living a good healthy life and “I’ll sing ‘til the light of day”...with every melodic beat of my heart. ❤️

PICTURE ME with better days ahead...

, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The adage a picture is worth a thousand words pretty much sums up and captured who I am and at what point am I now in my life’s journey...

  • My left eye is healing well a month after my corrective 4th-time eye surgery...

  • Loving you still makes my heart skip a beat—so I am hooked-up again with a heart event monitor...(3more weeks to go...)

  • I wear a heart solitaire instead of a wedding band...

  • I rarely wear lipstick...

  • I can’t widely smile because of my still lingering dental paresthesia...(on liquid and soft-food diet going a year now...)

  • I love all animals…more so cats, hence my hair-clip and necklace...

  • I gained precious pounds…(now at 99lbs…)

  • I am wearing a Canadian brand tank-top given by a Canadian Earth Angel...but I haven’t been to Canada yet...)

  • I am wearing comfy, casual clothes because I am not working; but hoping to be able to go back to the workforce again...(put the bad memories behind, learn and pick up the good despite my fork in life and live my new normal...)

  • The letters “RH” on the building behind me represents as R for my first name initial and H is for my Hope that endures. 

  • I wear prayer charm bracelets as an outward sign of my faith and devotion to GOD and St. Peregrine...(Patron Saint of cancer patients)

I am looking towards the heavens as I ponder in the LORD’s goodness, more blessings to come and His continued merciful grace and miracles in my life.
