It also takes a lot of courage to walk out… it is a choice for self preservation… esp knowing that you will let people down and they might not understand. But most important is how you deal with your struggles on a daily basis, and keeping yourself together. No one else can do that for you.

Sobrang layo ng character ni Pnoy at ng pangulo ngayon.

More than anything i could really sense his love of country, and his goal is to serve for the greater good.

Kaya lang ang bottomline — ang masang Pinoy mas nagpapadala sa drama, sa emosyon.

Hindi nag reresonate ang figures or credibilty rating or ang west philippine sea… kasi greek sa kanila yun. They can’t connect those with their current state. GDP? Ano yun?

Yung pa-exagg, patawa, spur of the moment na mga statements relatable sa iba pero… yun nga ampaw lang. Kasi hindi kailangan pag-aralan, walang goal. Chika lang.

Walang ibang paraan…

Babalik tayo sa education, sa tamang paggamit ng social media, at availability ng accurate information kahit saan.

Sana may panahon pang baguhin ang lahat sa 2022.

Namayapa ka man, “mabuhay!” sana ang pagmamahal sa bayan na ipinakita mo sa bawat Pilipino. 💛🇵🇭

According to Vincent Van Gogh, he thinks the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day. But according to jugglermom, nighttime is when you try to feel if you are still alive.

I don’t know when i started to become nocturnal.

But somehow i think has always been “ambulance driving” the whole day and i need to stay awake for a while (when everyone’s asleep)…

So i can listen to my thoughts

So i can drown out the chatter and the whining

To have a sense of peace and calibration

To be mindful of the day that has passed and the days to come.

That includes having a thankful heart. Always.

Officially my first day of homeschooling my 9th grader. I am excited to spend study time with him, and anxious that he might find it boring or not worth his time. We did Math, Science, English and Civic. EWe both survived day 1 and i pray that we could go on with minimal conflicts. Lately i have had occasional pangs of guilt about not being there all the time esp when i am at work. Today i am reminded of this 👇🏼

It's a summary of my journey this difficult year 2020. The year of Covid, the year of growth, the year of being brave and being human.

My 2020 can be summarized in one word: OVERWHELMING!

I was overwhelmed with tasks which involved a bigger responsibility, with lots of unknowns… and with the pandemic at the center of it all!

Beginning January 2020, I was appointed Director of the Institute of Pulmonary Medicine at BGC, which was a big title, but it has been running well over the past 10 years so I thought it will be just a little tweak here and there… not knowing that the Pulmonary Team (together with the ID team) would be thrown into the center of the worldwide pandemic of 2020. I am blessed with the most wonderful people in the team, who faced fear head on, who just muffled out their own cries due to long hours and inconvenient routines. Feeding each other with food, information and encouraging words brought us all together as family. #Kapitlungs indeed!

My geek x creative skills were also put to the test as I was part of the scientific and working committees of different postgraduate courses and conferences.

It’s all good for me to work behind the scenes but this pandemic also made me overcome my fears — not just of the virus and getting sick, but a more chronic fear of being in the camera and speaking in public. I could hardly keep track of the webinars and lectures that I took part in — various advocacies of Pharma companies, for SLMC, the PCP, the PSHBT, the UERM Alumni Association and the UECP. Then there was the IG live interview with Vicky Belo, the interview with Boy Abunda and the Inquirer article and webinar…

Challenges came in different forms in different areas, but the one closest to me was the fragile issue of mental health. The stress of the pandemic hit so close to home and while we can give all the support, a huge part would still depend on the individual’s insight and willingness to cope. My health also suffered a bit.. with my blood chem and BP going haywire.

Me and my friends had some great travel plans for 2020, but then we all had to adjust to circumstances. Nonetheless it has been equally rewarding to feel the LOOOOOVE of all my friends and family on my golden year. I am so thankful for affirming that you have received my LOVE during this lifetime and I feel the love in return. The zoom and messenger kamustahans were really uplifting!

Looking back, yes, 2020 was an overwhelming year of opportunities… we were given that chance to grow wiser, stronger, braver, more adaptable and more resilient all at the same time. Let’s hold on to what we have learned, and cherish the lives of the people around us.

And we continue to hope in the Lord for a better 2021.

Haven’t had time to do this but i have been wondering about old ipads — what to do when they are outdated?

You can easily spend between $100 and $200 on a Wi-Fi digital photo frame, but these often have clunky interfaces for syncing photos and the

My son has been questioning God. It’s been 6 months and we are still in the same situation. They hate online school. Our house is not spacious, with little space to move around.

Then i told him, anak, eventually you will see the light. As of now i cannot deny God because He’s the only one i can draw strength from.

At the start of the pandemic, while browsing thru my daughter’s lessons, i came across the story of David and Goliath.

Then it struck me, that even if this virus has gigantic proportions, God can see us thru.

So many tragic events over the past months. Heartbreaking. So many tasks to finish.

Rest if we must.... because we need to recharge, we need to refocus.

Just rest in His promises. #KapitLungs

The challenge of online schooling. We just take it one task at a time. Praying for more patience and enhanced eagerness to learn.

In one of my busiest weeks during this pandemic, the kids had their online recognition. This #jugglermom is thankful that the kids finished with honors. Having kids who are noted to be insightful, gracious and independent fills my heart with joy. 🙏🏻

Yes, we are exhausted. But we just keep going... till we see the light at the end of the tunnel. Please do your part. Stay home. Wear your masks. Keep your distance. Wash your hands. #StaySafe #kapitlungs

Where did the time go? #jugglermom wonders 😍 https://www.instagram.com/p/B4rmibelMD9/?igshid=haicfb1bb56g

Seeing a dad and his daughter dining together this morning, i am suddenly reminded of my dad, who passed away 18 years ago. He wouldve been 84 by now. I only have a few memories of him, one of which was wanton noodle soup, his fave food at ling nam. (Oh and he also likes chicken honey with java rice from aristocrat which he never shared 😋) Anyway, i learned how to eat real fast when i was with him, because he wouldn’t wait for me to finish. Guess it also implies we hardly talk about stuff... and it eventually got more awkward as we got older and life got more complicated. So many unspoken words, untold stories, moments that we failed to grab.... As they say, regret always come last, most of the time too late. So i always remind my patients and my friends to leave a lasting imprint in their children’s lives. Words of wisdom, a joke, great conversation, a gift... and most of all quality time creating wonderful memories that we could draw out anytime... to comfort and to inspire your children. Hope you are at peace, Dad. ♥️

facing dis-appointments

I had a couple of hours to spare before my flight back to Manila so i decided to take the River Thames cruise and the London Eye (which i haven’t tried the last time i was in London).

BUT today’s traffic was unusually bad during an off-peak hour... so i missed my cruise and the eye had a super long queue. Well, good thing i sort of braced myself for disappointments so i just had ice cream to console myself.

The weather was quite nice to walk around so i did... the Big Ben was under restoration... oh well, one less subject for my British composition... 😔
