My B.K. Expeience!! (Bagyong Kabayan)

July 29, 2011.

After how many months not seeing each other finally we’re back in our Friday habit.Since it’s friday, Me and Kat decided to go in our best friend’s house to sleep over. I waited for Kat and we ate first before heading off to our bff. I know that there’s a typhoon, but I didn’t expect what happened to us before we reached the house. Kat bought slippers with no reason, we just passed by in a slipper shop. (yaman di ba?) haha When we go outside the mall, a heavy rain welcome us! I’m still in doubt to bought slippers cause I just bought recently a slippers during Typhoon Juaning hahaha :-) But when I saw the road, my gawd! there’s a flood! I was forced to bought slippers since we don’t have a choice but to make lusong sa baha haha.Nakakaloka ang matinding alon ng baha, kinabog ang waves ng CAMSUR! haha When it’s about time to ride a jeepney,tinangay yung bagong biling tsinelas ni Kat hahahaha hindi maubos ang tawa ko! lolz.Know what she did? Tinawag nya yung mga barker to look for her another pair of slipper at binayaran nya! Here’s some of our photos when we got home! Yay! Our BAGYONG KABAYAN Experience!

END OF SHARING MY EXPERIENCE! Can’t forget this day! Off to bed! :) 

One GREAT LOVE.

I’d love to hear different love stories and I do also believe that each stories are unique. One lazy afternoon while surfing the net and looking for a love story, I stumbled with a new,heart-breaking and great love story. It was KATIE KIRKPATRICK’s wedding story. Don’t forget to ready your handkerchief before you read this.

Katie Kirkpatrick’s story is a powerful reminder that we can still find joy in the midst of suffering tragedy by focusing on and celebrating the present moment.

On Valentine’s Day, 2002, Katie Kirkpatrick, then a freshman at Rochester College (a small Christian college in Rochester Hills, Michigan), was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. Undaunted, Katie strove to keep up with her studies, but she suffered another setback in 2003 when she was diagnosed with an inoperable lung tumor wrapped around her pulmonary artery. Nonetheless, in 2004 the resilient Katie took part in champion cyclist Lance Armstrong’sRide for the Roses cancer fundraiser.

On January 15, 2005, twenty-one-year-old Katie—the girl “with a contagious smile and unrelenting optimism” who had been battling cancer for three years—married twenty-three-year-old Lapeer County sheriff’s deputy Nick Goodwin, her high school sweetheart and the love of her life, at Church of Christ in Hazel Park, Michigan.

Katie Kirkpatrick and her fiance, Nick, rest prior to their wedding. Katie has terminal cancer and spends hours in chemotherapy. Here Nick waits while she finishes one of the sessions.

Even in pain and dealing with her organs shutting down, with the help of morphine, Katie took care of every single wedding plan. Her dress had to be adjusted several times due to her constant weight loss.

An expected guest was her oxygen tank. Katie had to use it during the ceremony and reception. Katie’s parents look on.

In the middle of the party Katie had to rest for a bit and catch her breath. The pain doesn’t allow her to stand for long periods of time.

Katie passed away just five days after her wedding at the McLaren Regional Medical Center in Flint, Michigan

Nick said of the wedding and Katie’s passing:

It was wonderful. It was a dream come true. She was the most beautiful angel ever—just caring and selfless, and such an inspiration to everyone. She was always smiling no matter what happened, no matter what news she got. She was as close to perfect as they come.

——-> I can’t stop my tears the very first time I read their love story. I read this with mixed emotions of joy and sadness.  Joy because despite of knowing that soon she’ll die she has the courage to live a normal and happy life. Sad because she’s too young to suffer from this sickness and I know she has lot of things to do if she’d given a chance to live a long life. :( Love is not selfish. That’s how they show their love to each other despite of knowing that they won’t be together for so long. How I wish there’s a lot of Nick in this world and Katie as well. I salute and admired them both! May she rest in peace. :))

I miss being a student :(

When I’m still a student, I really want to graduate so that I can go to work and earn money on my own. I’ve been working for almost 1 and half year and have my own money. But then, once in a while every time I saw a group of students, I suddenly miss the good old times when I’m also like them. I can see students everywhere. When I’m riding a bus and some of them fell asleep (even if they’re standing), reading books and I think they’re also memorizing some stuffs. I miss buying school supplies during new school year or semester and of course who’ll not gonna miss the long lines during enrollment right? Unless you were studying in a exclusive school but in my case I studied in a government school so expect a big numbers of enrollees every semester. Here are some of the good old days photos during my college days.
