Goodbye Pilipins…for now. – Ditse
Yesterday morning, the whole family sent off my sister to begin a new life in the land of the midnight sun (and loads of snow), Finland. She accepted a one-year cooking job in one of the hotel chains there. She left us, her family, AND her long time boyfriend behind.
There's my mom, myself and now my sister…Coincidence? Do LDRs really run in the family?!?

I wish not only peace but a moment of rest for OFWs around the world
This holiday season has been the pits. My lola passed away, then work has been crazy busy (catching up for my bereavement leaves plus more stuff in preparation for next year. It's a ghost town here and everyone is on leave!!!!). Now, Dodong and I have been competing on who has the more miserable holiday.
Guess who has a more miserable Christmas between the two of us? Dodong OF COURSE! Just like many OFWs out there…

Getting ready to go off into the sunset…
Lola's condition is not getting any better. I am not being pessimistic, but stating a matter of fact. We just came from the hospital, her blood pressure (BP) continues to drop (30-40 / palpatonic – a new word I learned) plus she had a seizure late this afternoon. We are just waiting, waiting, waiting for her to finally join her Creator.
I've realized that waiting for someone to pass on is pretty much like what we have in long distance relationships. Pretty morbid, but hear me out first…

"Tic. Toc. Tic. Toc" says the Life Support System
Our family has been going through tough times (both emotionally and financially) in the past couple of weeks because our lola (grandmother) had hemorrhagic stroke last November 16. She's 83 years old and the hemorrhagic stroke obviously did a whole lot of damage. It's been two weeks since she was last conscious.
Now this kept me thinking…1) You will never know when your time is. 2) What if something like this happened to Dodong and myself?

Parati na lang ba ako magsosolo?
Yesterday, our department threw a Despedida de Soltera (the traditional Filipino bachelorette party – obviously a very wholesome one) lunch for a teammate, who is tying the knot next Sunday. We ate a hearty lunch ay H.K. Choi (one that made me very sleepy and groggy for the rest of the working day) and had a mini-program.
We shared our well wishes: corny, downright witty, cheesy and wise. How I loved the words of the wise…the messages of the married and fab gals of the Corporate Marketing department did leave an impression worth sharing…
