Ms. Pamela
TO someone who’ve learned about my disabilities,
And can’t or doesnt want to believe if I am telling the truth
or just saying this for the sake of wanting to be pitied …
so, I can sell my stuffs and creations …
YOU are WRONG dear!
I am just being honest to everyone
(new online friends, customers or business contacts)…
Who asked me, “What’s wrong if I call you now or why can’t I talk to you over the phone?”…
Well, to answer them, “SORRY, I may not hear you well over the phone. Becoz I am inborn with hearing and speech defects (plus a lot of congenital ailments.)” SO, some would ask me…
“What is it like to be deaf?"
Deaf? Oh, hmm... how do I explain that?
Simple: “I can't hear properly, at times totally none.”
It is much more than that.
“Strange feelings”
Always observing things going on.
Being alert and on your feet all the time.
Natural curiosity perks up…
Upon seeing great laughter, crying, anger.
Inquiring only to meet with a "Never mind" or
"Oh, it's not important".
I did not grow up isolated or a loner...
I was always with lots of my family and friends around me…
Sometimes, understanding my situation…
Sometimes getting upset over my repeated...”HUH??” or “WHATsss?
Sometimes, getting laugh at for making a mistake about what was said ...
AND sometimes, getting the privilege to be proud of =)
BUT, at all the time my family and friends, LOVES me for what I am.
So, it never was or rather never is an embarrassment to admit that I am born with these defects. It doesn’t make me miserable being partially deaf…
infact, it helps me to be a stronger person…
[That’s makes me bossy to my siblings…. =) ]
Sometimes, it’s hard to communicate, yes, I will admit that…
It also makes me feel uncomfortable to others who are trying to think of how to communicate with me…
But, for those who’ve known me...
they knew my secret,
I LIP READ =)
And I use my other senses
Though, I also lost my right eye sight (2003),
I still have the left eye to LIP read…
With my sense of touch, I can still create lots of my stuffs with much more feelings…
With my sense of taste, I can cook and baked gourmet food and delectable goodies like my cakes…
With my sense of smell, I can breathe in any messages that will transmit to my brain from people around me…
AND as long as I don’t hurt anyone…
even with having a tight business competition…
I know I am doing fine and good with everything.
This is for you, MS. PAMELA whose multiply site doesn’t exist anymore =( …
I hope you read and understand this carefully…
Rather than spreading some nonsense gossip about me…
may YOU SLEEP WELL tonight
And have a nice day tomorrow!!!
TO my MAMA
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY
MAMA!!!!
I LOVE YOU
MA!

IN MEMORY OF AUNT CARMEN
A sad news arrived earlier today, our AUNT CARMEN who resides in DAVAO has passed away at march 01 at 1am becoz of terminal cancer. For many years I am used to having 4 aunts left from my MOM.., and now, one of my MOM's sister, I will not see again on this side of eternity.
I cannot say that I am not close or really close with my AUNT CARMEN, as some may define closeness, but I was certainly very familiar with her. I am her constant companion every time she went here for a visits in manila, and in my childhood times many days were spent with having her around every vacation breaks. I will not recount the memories of her, that will be left to later, but hearing this news all of a sudden has made me think about many things.
I don't know how one is to respond to something like this, I didn't know what to say. At first I thought maybe I should be sad, but though I felt somber I did not feel sad. She has always been sick and unhealthy becoz she had cancer. and I thought, maybe its time for her to rest...
Last week was a very stressful week, since, MOm has spoken to her sister, AUNT CARMEN, has actually bade her final goodbyes to us...and was very sorry for all the things that she had done us wrong...she ask for forgiveness and peace from MOM, which is really very sad, that it needs to come to this kind of situation before she realized her mistakes and have some peace of mind.
Today, as I see MOM, hurting and crying in sorrow...I wish I could help her in some ways..but don't know how....I know how much MOm loves and misses her sister and up to the last breath of AUNT CARMEN, MOM had been praying that someday, there will still be time for them to get together and forgive each other and forget the past....a reunion which would never happen anymore...
Like my other siblings, it really hurts to see our MOM crying and grieving over her departed sister...it was like this before when our father died...that was the most painful and longest agony in our/MY life...I thought, it would never happened again...but, here we are...grieving for the lost of our AUNT CARMEN....and hurting too, seeing our MOM like this again...I know it will take time to heal all the pain and hurts that's causing us...AND, for now...I know nothing could be done but to ACCEPT the reality and to really FORGIVE and try to FORGET the past....so, we can MOVE on...
I'll be here by myself to contemplate all such matters of life and death and...need to think about it a bit more..
To Auntie Carmen, thank you for the time we had with you, you'll surely be missed, and yes you are indeed forgiven......
MY SISTER LENG-LENG part 2
Before the birthday of my sister LENG-leng last Feb 06, she was very sick....
and with a very heavy heart...it worries me too much...
because, she asked lots of questions that somehow i don't know how i really answered them, to assure her that everything will be okay...
here are the questions she asked of me....
She asked me if her pains and her vomiting will stop before her birthday......
YES....she is well enough when she celebrated her belated birthday....
(with lots of prayers in mind)
She also asked for a new duster to wear on her birthday.....
And I did bought her 2 big ones with her fave colors
(pink with heart designs and lavender with floral designs)...
She asked me too, if I am going to bake her a cake....
As promised, I did baked her a BARBIE CAKE,
From her old and original BARBIE DOLL...
AND just....
Last night, she asked me to close the light when we sleep....
and I asked why?...
she answered...
" because, I want to pray in solemn silence for a wonderful birthday that God blessed me"....
AND THEN....
This morning, saturday..
she told me...."ate ging, can you please pray and give thanks to GOD on my behalf"....
and with tears, I told her...."OKAY, I'll do everything for you.."
So, I left the house, with tears....
...and visited the chapel....with TEARS OF JOY...that another year has been granted to my sister Leng-leng
Praying silently....
the Lord answered my wishes and prayers...
So, as I sat down and typed this blog...I am happy to say...though Leng-leng is still having difficulty in eating or swallowing foods....
I know, God have heard our prayers...
and that,
He had allowed me to make my sister celebrate her birthday a meaningful one for her...
a feeling of sureness that the LORD granted my request...
My sister Leng-leng
I am born with congenital ailments...and so was my sister LENG-LENG...between the 2 of us..I am more Okay than her..for every bone defects that I have with so much pain ...Leng-leng is much worse than I am....her muscles and joints were constantly tight, sore, with a nagging burning sensation, like she was jogging for miles on end each day, leaving her in constant chronic pain...muscle contractions, inability to initiate movement (She fell down a lot), and the sleeping problems.....but, both of us have/had surpassed everyday of this chronic pain by trying just to shake it off...by using liniments, efficascent oils, ice cold petroleum rubs, etc...taking ibuprofen, viox, bextra and guaffenesin...for awhile our pain will lift off...so we also felt okay for a time...
The constant swelling in hands and feet, unreasonable coldness in fingertips and toes, headaches, muscle spasms, burning sensations, and fatigue were all a part of our every day living. But, still I am okay, and I actually think I got used to feeling a certain level of pain, and would somehow manage to muddle through the day, always remembering in the back of my mind keep going - laying down won't make you feel better.
I am purely trusting the Lord for giving me a longer and happy life...as well as with my sister Leng-leng...For Leng-leng and I, have completely love and accepted ourselves as who we are or what we are...I thought I can carry on...until, lately...my sister Leng-Leng...who is going to celebrate her birthday this February 6th is having problems with more than her ailments...she seldom eats now adays...and frequently vomits every nights...plus her back pain is more and more intense than ever...no amount of any liniments or pain relievers can ease her pains...
I AM WORRIED...
for the past years that I had been with my sister and being with her all the times that she was ill or has fallen down...I always had the instant hope that I can be her instrument in healing her fast...by massaging and praying over her....and fully trusting the LORD for her fast recovery....but, today, I can't help the feeling of getting worried...coz, even if JOY2 and I tried to eased her back pains...I knew ...Leng-leng is hurting....she can only swallow a 2 half spoon of rice bcoz we insisted her to do it...
She kept on asking if her pains and her vomiting will stop before her birthday...and I said...YES....(with lots of prayers in mind)
She even asked for a new duster to wear on her birthday.....and I plan to buy her 2 big ones with her fave colors...
She asked me if I am going to bake her a cake....and I told her...OF COURSE, I will....
Last night, she asked me not to close the light when we sleep....and I said...SURE, if light is what you need, you can have it....
This morning, she told me...."ate ging, please pray for my health"....and with tears, I told her...."I've been doing that for years, and never forgets.."
So, I left the house, with tears...and visited the chapel....figuring what can I do for her....
I saw a sign saying...." give love even though the Holiday is over"...
praying silently....the Lord answered my questions...
So, as I sat down and typed this blog...I have set aside my worry...and hope for my loving sister LENG-LENG to get well soon....
a feeling of sureness that the LORD will grant my request...
