Soul’s Song At The Moment
I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say “Amen”, and it’s still raining
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can’t find You
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
Praise You In This Storm/Casting Crowns

Lord, thank You for loving me. I know Your grace is stronger than my faith. Thy will be done.

mahal na mahal kita baby……….can’t wait for 19!
just a quick update
Finally, I’m out of the hospital and got the time to update this blog…..thank GOD!
The past months were quite tiring for me. I was “in and out” of the hospital due to intermittent fever, some minor infections, the usual tests, the so-called regular check-ups, bone marrow biopsy (which revealed that I’m still on hematologic remission), GCSF, blood transfusion, eye check up, bone scan, ct-scan, thyroid function test, kidney function test…….blah, blah, blah
I maybe badly bruised by needles but I feel so blessed because I know that my Lord and Savior has journeyed with me and has provided me with all that I need to get through it. What a great and faithful God! I’m in awe.
My family has been patiently journeying with me since the beginning of this AML adventure and even if there were some “tiring” moments (hey its okay, we are just humans), I know that they will always love me and that they are with me every step of the way.
I’ve been enjoying some quality sleep lately….wink…my baby’s tucking me to bed every night. I’m loving the moment really. Starting and ending my day with her is simply overwhelming. Can’t wait to put that ring into her finger and say “I do”. (Actually, she’s with me right now and she said “wow” when she read this part he he he).
Some things/issues came up a few months ago and I plan to do a separate entry about it. I don’t want to do it here….in this entry…..I don’t want to change the mood of this happy post.
So there……got to end this post muna…….please keep me in your prayers…….God bless us all!
tara na baby sleep na tayo…….wink!

coming through….
- I”m still on remission, happy and living a “normal” life with my rainbow, (I”m loving every minute of it)
- Was in and out of the hospital for the past months (nothing serious really; visits are for some tests related to the SCT, coughs and colds, 3 incidents of blood transfusion, regular check up, fever, tummy pains, change of medications, eye check up, etc)
- I gained weight, about 2-3 pounds (although i still can’t eat on my own terms, at least i’m not anymore on a strictly “prosure and ensure” diet) there were some instances that i was allowed, of course in moderation, to deviate from my neutropenic diet and i had pasta dishes (with fat free mozzarella and olive oil, yum yum)
- My hair is growing (and i mean not just on my head but also on my armpit, goatee, chest and down there he he he)
- Harvesting of the SCT from my donor is coming soon and a few days after that will be the SCT transplant. yes, the transplant is still necessary but it is not of the same dire urgency as before. thank God!
- My physical therapy worked! i can now walk without my cane, although i’m still slow and walking like a toddler i’m positive that in days to come i would be able walk the normal way again. i can’t afford to have a cane on my wedding day.
- Wedding preparations are now in progress
- I’ve been reading a lot these days…..from cook books, to parenting books to techno books and even non-fictions
- My numbers are still okay. no leukemic blast
- Been taking this health supplement called Alive Whole Food Energizer from Nature’s Way for almost 2 months now and I feel good na na na na. I highly recommend this product
- Once in a while i’ll feel some muscle pains especially in my legs and since i’m already tired of taking pain relievers, i just apply a generous amount of ice analgesic gel to the painful areas. it works
- Thank you to those who are taking their time in visiting this blog , hugs to those who are leaving their comments, thank you so much. please do keep me in your prayers.
- To my sweet baby: uwi ka na, tagal mo naman sa work, we need to finish it, part 3 na………. wink!
- And to my Jehovah Ropphi, You are awesome!
wedding song :)
a song for my bride……
Like the sound of silence calling
I hear your voice and suddenly
I’m falling, lost in a dream
Like the echoes of our souls are meeting
You say those words and my heart stops beating
I wonder what it means
What could it be that comes over me
At times I can’t move
At times I can hardly breathe
When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For that moment, there’s no one else alive
You’re the one I’ve always thought of
I don’t know how but I feel sheltered in your love
You’re where I belong
And when you’re with me if I close my eyes
There are times I swear I feel like I can fly
For a moment in time
Somewhere between the heavens and earth
And frozen in time, Oh when you say those words
When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there’s no one else alive
And this journey that we’re on
How far we’ve come and I celebrate every moment
And when you say you love me
That’s all you have to say
I’ll always feel this way
When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
In that moment, I know why I’m alive
When you say you love me
When you say you love me
Do you know how I love you?

“my start and end”
Of all the things I’ve ever done
Finding you will prove to be the most important one
I would never trade the tears
the conversations no one hears
the learning how to walk before we run
Of all the kites I ever flew
Most came tumbling down
except the one I sent up with you
I dont wanna change a thing
break the spell or cut the string
when every wish I make is coming true with you
Sometimes I forget to say how much I love you
Purposely I bet cause I’m so busy thinking of you
So in this world of odds and ends
I’d rather have a part of you than all of my so-called friends
You have taught me how to feel
What is false and what is real
of all the things I ever wanna do
I think I’ll start and end with loving you
You have taught me how to feel
What is false and what is real
of all the things I ever wanna do
I think I’ll start and end with loving you

at this moment
Hearing you breathe in your silent sleep
Rehearsing words I never thought I’d say
I will give anything to know
If all I’m feeling now will disappear or will it stay?
But if tomorrow never comes
I have the love we made tonight
Now in my heart
I know how good our love can be
For this one moment of my life
I have one night when love was right
And I hold on to it
If tomorrow never comes
I never dreamed
I’d be the one to change
Look at me,
Completely swept away
Now I’m afraid to be without you
If I should lose this heaven
How could I ever be the same?
But If tomorrow never comes
I have the love we made tonight
Now in my heart
I know how good our love can be, yeah
For this one moment of my life
I have one night when love was right
And I hold on to it
If tomorrow never comes
You’re the one I’ve waited for
Kiss to say forever
Hold me, let’s make forever
But If tomorrow never comes
I have the love we made tonight
Now in my heart
I know how good our love can be
For this one moment of my life
I have one night when love was right
And I hold on to it
If tomorrow never comes
If tomorrow never comes…..
