GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!
Anyway, my friend Malou who's friend also underwent chemo sessions (hope she's okay now) sent me an email asking for an update. It was only yesterday when I read the letter that made me decide to begin writing again. But since we have a corona pandemic crisis today, I decided to share a short conversation with my mother and a simple prayer instead of writing an update about my life. I wanted to give hope and encourage everybody to pray for God instead of spreading fear. Here it goes:
This has been our everyday greetings with my neighbor who's been selling fried chicken on the streets. Sabi nya - "Negosyante tayo madam dapat laging good morning." O di ba, na-uplift yung morale ko kahit tindahan lang ang pinagkaka-abalahan ko, negosyante rin daw ako. So from now on, here in my blog you will always see that opening greetings to share that positive mood everytime I write a post here.
First I want to apologize for not being around in this platform lately. After my battle with cancer and depression, little by little I felt that I lost my confidence in writing - in starting a new topic, in organizing my thoughts to create a more inspiring and meaningful post but today I'll try my best to create one.
My mother asked me - "Di ka ba takot sa COVID -19?"
My answer is simple - "Why should I, cancer nga hinarap ko e."
"Kung oras ko na may magagawa ba ako kung kukunin na ako ni Lord."
Dasal na lang siguro tayo,..pero alam mo Ma naalala ko pa rin yung mga salita ni Dra.Bascara pagtapos ng operasyon ko.
Sabi nya "We are all destined to die, all the people around you-the patients, the visitors even us doctors and nurses and even that new born child will suffer the same fate, we just don't know when, where or how but the why or your purpose here on earth will dictate the length of your stay...so know your purpose and fight your battle to fight cancer."
It was a very powerful words that gave me strength while I was undergoing chemo treatment and I want to impart that short story and a simple prayer to everyone.
To fight covid let us spread love,positivity and prayers instead of fear - that’s our purpose today. Love God above else and pray for His mercy and compassion to humanity, for wisdom to touch the minds of those people working for the cure, to give strength and protection to all frontliners especially to our Doctors and Nurses, Military enforcers, and everyone risking their lives to secure us, to touch the “heart and mind” of all our elected government officials and barangay officials that they may be able to find ways to properly serve their community, to give hope to all patients that they will all be healed because they still have purpose here on earth, to protect us all from this virus, to encourage every Filipinos and the people around the world to pray and to have faith that we will all survive this crisis. Through God’s grace, wisdom, protection, provision and mercy - we will get through this crisis. Let us unite in prayers, “Pilipinas, Kaya natin to”, All these we ask through Christ our Lord.

Again, fear and panic should not rule our lives today. Let us all be reminded of our purpose here on earth, follow the instructions of our authorities and have faith in God that we can all survive and defeat this virus.
Stay home and stay safe.
God Bless.
