Raising Money for My Brother in his Fight Against Cancer

Being sick is something that everybody is trying to avoid. Sicknesses can be a cause of many different things.

When we get sick, we recognize the value of everyone around us. Just like what Dorothy Fisher said, we give value to our health when we get sick, we give value to what is good and the value of having a time to rest. Health is something that one must fully invest in. Specially if there is no way to support medical needs in case something goes wrong. It is also good not to self-medicate when you feel something has been abnormally relevant to your body functioning. Being sick is something that less fortunate people are fighting against.

Today, I am greatly saddened for my brother’s condition. After a dreading time in the surgical section where they performed a colorectal procedure last New Year’s Eve, we were quite surprised of the size of the mass of the tumor that was surgically removed from his pelvic colon. When I asked the Doctor what were the possible cause of this, he said that one major possibility would be a Colon Cancer. Right now, the question why him has been asked quite a lot of times already and it was kind of devastating to me. Medical help is so hard to come by specially for those who are in need and less fortunate, and if you are living in the Philippines. And it happens to be that my brother doesn’t have enough for his own medication, and to add more of the injury, his kids needed him badly. He works  for an appliances center where he gets paid only when he goes to work at a provincial rate. And what my family can contribute is nothing, compared to what we can gather.

I am devastated of what more can I contribute without jeopardizing my relationship, work, and our financial needs. Staging of the cancer and the gravity of the chemotheraphy can lead us all into coming up with idea on how to financially give solution to this. The tumor turns out to be malignant and we are all just waiting for the stage of the Cancer.

In writing this, I would like to ask for anybody reading this, who has the heart and generous enough to share their kindness and help us in raising money for my brother’s medical needs. He’s got four kids, who are smart, beautiful, and very young and they needed their father very much. And it will help them if he wins over this illness. We hope that for everyone reading this, you can share wholeheartedly any amount you can.

It feels great to join in another blogging community that actually gives out information and influence alot of readers around the globe.

As my first iReport, see the link here ( http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-360829 ), I had been wanting to let readers know that personally I think that the best way to help my country despite all the controversies, political disputes, and poverty that our country has been battling for centuries.  I believe that there are still alot of reasons for us to celebrate and be proud of our own.

I don’t know if there are any readers out there who share the same sentiments like I do, but it will be nice to have an audience to share this with after all.

 

The Intrigues on Pacquiao – Ranillo Affair

This image has been referenced from another blog(wont be mentioning the name), which was allegedly sent by Jinkee Pacquiao’s friend ( not gunna mention the name too).  Due to hot rumors circling around the boxing champs family and a speculated affair with Krista Ranillo, alot of people has turned their attention to the Filipino Boxing champs’ wife Jinkee Pacquiao from the intriguing cries.

Alot were curious of her sudden bursts of tears and searched comfort with her friend during the thanksgiving mass held after the fight. Krista on the other hand never deny nor confirm these allegiations and speculations being thrown by the media in prints, tv and as well as in cyberspace.

The blogosphere has all been wanting to hear the truth.

Manny Pacquiao’s supporters and political friends were also suggesting that Manny should neither loose the people’s respect towards him by another gold-digging starlet. Moreover, Jinkee’s friends were all in full force support to prevent anyone to meddle in what appears to be a strong relationship of the couple.

But the couple made an assurance that they were ok, and just like what Manny said,  there is actually no problem around them. Whether or not it is true, I hope that Krista Ranillo won’t lower her morality by stepping into the bandwagon of ladies who exploit their looks just to get under the security of money making relationships.

What Happened to Tunay na Lalake Blog?

I was just visiting some old favorite websites that I’ve bookmarked and surprisingly here is what I had read. It is indeed a shocker. It was a good blog. A great sample of a free mind. Whatever the reason behind this, I can only hope for the best.

excerpt from : http://www.techie.com.ph

TNL fans may be in for a bit of a shock. It seems that the Pinoy-favorite Tunay na Lalake blog has ended its reign as the manliest blog on the planet.

The latest, last, and only remaining post on the main page is an entry entitled Paalam, baby dated October 17, 2009. In typical guy fashion, TNL’s final farewell read, “It’s not you. It’s me.”

It’s a sad, sad day for the Filipino blogosphere.

Probinsyana is Back …

After like so many days of not being able to write articles for my own blog, I realized that this might be the right time to write again. My thoughts were all uncertain for the past months and I was not really interested in writing anything despite all the things that had happened around me since I last blogged. Being out of the office opened a lot of opportunity and rooms for great improvement.

Many things had happened for the past several months, including that of the tragedies that came in the Philippines due to several super typhoons. Great example is the typhoon “Ketsana” ( Ondoy). Our community was severely affected, creating great damages to those places unexpected from the destruction of flash floods, and landslides. The flood came in too quickly for us to save all of our things. Most were submerged in floods. Some people was left stunned and in disbelief as they see their properties being swept away by the flood.

After that, there is another typhoon that drastically hit the Northern Region of the Philippines. Which by the way included my own province. It was quite devastating because alot of lives were sacrificed due to tremendous flooding and landslides. A lot of people are blaming this tragic events to climate change. Some are left to blame the government who keeps on giving approval to those rich businessmen in corrupting even the natural resources that the Filipinos were left to keep. They keep on building subdivisions and real state properties in the mountain areas, when in fact trees should be nurtured in these places.

The government is blaming the illegal settlers who allegedly been making distractions for the water shed areas, when the government should have been doing something before the tragedy even happened. Farms has been wiped out literally leaving alot of the farming community homeless and no source of income. The question about the garbage disposal has also occurred to be essentially paramount to the actions of the community leaders.

Then come, the voter’s registration which has proven once again the bahala na attitude of the Filipinos. Very disappointing indeed that our fellas are always late in doin their share for this country. But what can we do?
