I'm Back!!!

Monday, July 28, 2008
Our office's anniversary celebration is finally over! I never really thought it's going to be fun but it was. Not my kind of fun really but surprisingly I enjoyed it. We had a three day celebration which started last Wednesday, July 23. We had "Libreng Tawag"- local and international calls for free, sponsored by the major Telco companies in the Philippines. I took advantage of this of course! Well, it's not all fun because I got a call from my sister at around lunch time. She said she rushed my mom to the hospital for an emergency heart surgery. So I have to leave the office and go see my mom.

That's me on the right

Thursday, July 24. We had a Breakfast Forum which I wasn't able to attend because I felt exhausted the night before so I just stayed in my office. In the afternoon we had a book launching - Regulation of the Telecommunications/ICT Sector by the former NTC Deputy Commissioner Kathleen G. Heceta and incumbent NTC Deputy Commissioner Jorge V. Sarmiento. I left the office right after the cocktails. My mom was better than the day before, but she's feeling a bit woozy.

Friday, July 25. We had mass calisthenics. This was so funny! We had two aerobic instructors leading the exercises routines. I could hardly follow the steps. Haha! Okay, I do pilates not aerobics!


That's me wearing khaki shorts


See the lady on my right? She's following me, I didn't even know what I was doing. Haha!

Towards the end of the celebration, we had raffle prizes. I wasn't really happy with the one I got, but that's okay, nobody went home empty handed. 

My mom has been steadily improving except for her blood sugar which went up the roof yesterday. I'm not sure if she will be discharged from the hospital today because of this. I'd like to thank everyone who prayed for my mom. Please do continue to pray for her fast recovery. Also, please pray for financial provision. Our bill is estimated to reach $22,000. God help us!

Hi sis Pia,
Entrust everything to the Lord and you will overcome all your trials. He always supply us with all our needs if only we will trust Him just like a little child to his parents. Thanks for the post. God bless you and your loved ones always my dear friend.

Sometime I don't think something is going not going be fun or enjoyable and it is.
Surprise are always nice most of the time.

I do my prayer in morning and I be sure to mention your family.

Pia,

You look so cute in the pictures! I'm glad you got some enjoyment out of it all. Sorry about your Mom, and I will add her to my prayer list, and will also offer a little prayer for help with your finances. Health problems cost enormous amounts these days. I know that from personal experience.

I enjoyed checking out your old blog, here. Take good care, my dear, and God bless!

Hugs,

Renie

I hope your mom continues to improve too! It can be so hard to have a family member or a person who is close to you going through stuff like this!
