My Lola


Lola Coring is really getting a lot older...she's turning 90 this coming August 20th and still able to walk, of course with assistance or use of a cane. You might think that she is still healthy, but if you are to ask me and my parents...she isn't. Her left throat is already paralyzed that's why she is having difficult time eating and drinking plus talking. She has osteoporosis already and is almost bending down while walking. She sometimes can't hear what we are telling her and also forgets what she is doing. She has a lot of ailments already but she is fighting...and trying to be strong. That's why I envy her...for being strong. I guess, that's where I got that kind of attitude. It really runs into our blood, always positive and always strong no matter what.

I love my Lola Coring and I always tell her not to quit living. Sometimes she tells me that she wants to go soon, but I guess, its because of me and her loved ones why she is still trying to live. I hope and pray that God will still give her a lot more years to live so that I could provide her all the things she hadnt experienced when she was still young. I love her so much and I am not ready to lose her yet.

3-Day Black Out!!!

I arrived late at night last Friday...was not expecting something surprising will happen. Well, I opened my window in the condo...turned on the lights but nothing lit up. I thought that something was wrong with the light bulbs so I went straight to my room and turned on the light. Nothing happened...so then I concluded that MERALCO had disconnected my electric/power supply which was then confirmed by the letter I saw in my mailbox later that evening. I felt bad. It was my fault because I did not pay my electric bill before due time. It was something that I really intended to happen...something that I really would love to experience.

Well, it was a 3-night long nightmare for me without power supply. I cant watch tv, cant even turn on my laptop to browse through the internet and lastly, dont have an aircon or electric fan to use. It was hot in the room so I had to open the door in the terrace so that the cool breeze could at least come inside the room. It was really the worse days of my life and I promised to myself that it wont happen to me anymore.

Now, I am back to my normal life. Had paid the electric bill this afternoon and MERALCO immediately went into the condo to reconnect their service in my unit. Haayy...
