I've been always fascinated about the moon.  
It's a magical feeling.  
And I'm enchanted - deliriously!  
It's been my favorite subject in my sketches and poetry.    

    

I went to bed as early as 2am (yeah, I'm nocturnal!)  
I toss and turn till 4am.  
The moon shine so bright, it almost brighten up my whole room.  
So I took my camera and took a few shots.    
So, this is what they called Waning Gibbous.  
WOW!  
Thanks to my lens and it justified the mood.

Today it's Francis Magalona's birthday.
The most celebrated rapper and FreeMan himself.



I so miss him so much.

"The guy who's like Peter Pan - never grows old"

I'm not a fan of rap or hip hop. 
But every time I see him on the mic.
I can't help but to sing along or rap along Ahahaha!

But of course.. 

My all-time favorite were:




Girl Be Mine - Francis Magalona

and




Cold Summer Nights - Francis Magalona

Being an Artist (naks!),
I admire Mr. Robert Alejandro.  
He is one of the proud family member of Alejandro who owns the “Papemelroti”.
It is actually the combination of the first syllables of five names 
- Patsy, Peggy, Meldy, Robert, and Tina.
They are the children of Benny and Corit Alejandro, 
who started the Papemelroti business.

Even before I found out that "Kuya Robert" is one of the Papemelroti co-owner, 
I am a huge fan of that store now and then!
From stationeries to gift-able knick knacks.
From stickers to notepads. And almost everything.

If you want to know more about "Kuya Robert"
You can go to his website,
and check out his art works and other stuffs you might find interesting.

Aside from being a graphic artist/designer, 
he's also a traveler, an art teacher, 
a drawing reporter (he worked for Probe under Ms. Che Che Lazaro.)
He also loves to do charity work and outreach programs.

In fact, when I added him in Facebook, I saw his photos
and right and then I knew he got a huge heart.
[March 27 2010] He shared a link to invite Facebook users to be a member 
of The Philippine Mini Library Project, fan page.



I, myself is also a huge fan of books. I mean different kind of books!
When they post an announcement that they need books 
to donate for certain barangays  in Puerto Galera and Guimaras,



I immediately checked-cleaned-gathered all my books and ended up
a box of books ready to share.


and right into the box - they went.


sealed and ready to deliver at the nearest Papemelroti Store.


[March 29 2010] Papemelroti at Sta. Lucia Metro East. God Bless my books.


Kuya Robert thank me after posting this in Facebook.
I know he's happy as I am.

May God bless whoever own those hands who would opened it.

Yay!!

[Feb 15 at 10am]    

I woke up early to watch the most awaited game of the year,  
in the 59th All-Star NBA game.  
Of course, I'm always a fan of Iverson and LeBron - EAST would be the best bet!!    

*East beat West at 141-139.  
And sucks because Dwyane Wade wins MVP award.    

*of course I didn't saw them won the award.    

Around 11am, 10minutes after the game started, my elder sister called.  

I have to go the hospital at Marikina for my mom's operation.    

SURPRISED!!!     

I knew about her gallbladder operation, but I didn't expecting it to be SOON.    
The last thing I knew, I'm packing few things, food and stuffs because I knew  
I would be staying in the hospital over the night.  
When I got there, I don't even dare looking straight at my mother. 
Why?  
I'm not used to seeing her like that. 
She looks calm and quiet.    

  
Yeah, my heart dies seeing her preparing for the operation.    

    

    

But I can't show her how much in pain I am also.  
I just want her to be brave (like she used to be)  
So I act normal throughout the day. And Sometimes bugged her at night.    

Good thing I'm a night person.   
I stayed beside her during our first night.  
Watching her sleep. Facebook Mobile (lol).     

  
Watching the night shift nurses doing their stuffs..    
Loitering around the hospital.  

Being nosy, I peek every room and talk to everyone else.    

When I took the comfort room on the 2nd floor,   
While washing my hands at the lavatory..  
I intentionally eavesdropped at the people talking   
behind me right beside the door.    
The woman was crying because her mother can die anytime soon.  
Because they don't want to see her suffer more, they intent to do mercy killing,  
by putting off the oxygen. 

It was sad.  

When I looked at her, her stare struck me.   
And there's nothing that I can do but to feel sorry.        

Day 2 [Feb 16 at 10:00am]  
My mom was sent already at the O.R.  Still praying, 
and the operation lasts for only 3 hours.  
The surgeons were actually Americans based on Utah.  
So, no wonder.    

    
At 1pm, she's still sleeping and waiting for her recovery.  
And at the same time, observing if her body system  already came back to normal.    
She woke up around 10 in the evening but she still can't bend.  
She just asked for a hot milk. 
Then went back to sleep again.      

Day 3 and 4  [Feb 17 & 18]    
The doctor took some rounds, and he resembles a lot with Jaime Fabregas (lol)  
When the doctor said, she should stand or bend.  
My mother immediately stood up and almost fell 
(I think it's funny, showing us how tough she is. Although she felt dizzy hehehe)    

At February 18, she decided to go home to be fully recovered.  
As if nothing happens..    
This is the first I saw her stitch, and look what we got as trainers?  
Staple Wires???  
But they said, it's a better trainer for wounds to close and heal up faster.  

  

Before we discharged, a guy nurse cleaned her stitched wound.  
You know what, He's cute! I can't help but to stare at him, and be dazzled!  
But I don't have the guts to include his face in the picture..  
But what else can we do? We're about to go home already! [hmf!]      

Anyways..    
If love can move a mountain, FAITH can lift several mountains!  
-And that's a fact!
