CEBU PACIFIC: THE WORST IN CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
Oct 14, 2009: Fighting a very good battle against cancer, Megan finally rested peacefully...
This may be a late Father's Day greeting to my Dad, but you see, I haven't seen my Dad for almost 10 years now and I miss him terribly.
On April 20, our dear friends' daughter, Megan, will undergo a very delicate surgery... This is a very sad and trying time for the parents.... I pray to God that the surgery will be very successful and that Megan will fully recover from it...
It was, I think, the last Sunday of March 2009, when we went to see Margie for the first time after the incident in India... Eric and I both wanted to visit her earlier, but were so busy at work, we had to postpone, considering the Asian Hospital is way over in Alabang, and we live in Malabon :) but now that we had found the time, I was not sure what to expect before we saw her...
I'd like to post here a prayer shared to me by my very good friend, Aileen:
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

My first blog.... and this will turn out to be a sad one.... I learned recently that a daughter of a dear friend has a very rare disease called neuroblastoma.. as I understand it, it is a form of cancer that affects mostly children and that it is congenital (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroblastoma)... it is not too clear to me what it really is, but as what was described to me, it affects the abdomen wherein the tumor can grow as big as the abdomen itself... The patient has to undergo chemotherapy in order to minimize the tumor and hopefully, recover from it... But as the doctors say, if this has happened when the girl was only 2 years old, she has a greater chance to recover, but now that she is already 9 years old, she's considered high risk and might not be able to recover....
