6 days in chong hua hospital

The last news grandmothers would like to hear: “your grandchild was hospitalized”. It took me hours to think and rethink if I would send her a text message about fender’s situation. Three days ago, I started to notice that fender is coughing frequently; I can’t ignore the pain and hassle it brought him. I had to ask my wife what she thinks about the situation, she was kinda relax about it. Saturday came and the situation got worst, he’s coughing more frequent now, and it even wakes him up from sleep. “I think this is serious, we have to look for a pedia” I told my wife. That afternoon I called our company’s insurance and asked for available doctors, she referred me to a doctor in cebu doctors hospital so I called the office, but to my surprise, they doctor is not available till Monday. So I have to wait 2 more days, I started to feel guilty about fender, I just can’t bear hearing him cough with so much difficulty. Sunday came and I started to panic as fender show’s signs of tiresome coughing. I chatted with our company’s floor coordinator and I told him that I will not be able to report to work Monday since ill be taking my little boy to the pedia. Amazingly, Mark told me that there is a consultation in the Emergency Room of chong hua hospital, so we get dressed and rushed to the hospital. His breathing and heartbeat rate were checked, the doctors asked questions about the cough, fender’s medical records as I tried to answer every question most honestly. A few minutes later, the doctor advised us that fender needs to be admitted to the hospital since heartbeat and breathing rate are above normal. My wife fainted, she didn’t dare watch as the nurse put the needle in fender’s arms, then she cried. Amazingly the baby didn’t even cry. We were then transferred to room 330 where I wondered what will happen next.

Pacman, Dela Hoya, MILF, Ramadan, and 30 Million dollars.

I would love to see pacman win, but I wonder what happens if he lose, Anyway, win or lose, pacman would not make much of a difference in the life of the ordinary people and the masses.
- Win or lose, pacman would be $50 million richer, while those who win by betting on him takes home a few thousand bucks, others take home nothing.
- Win or lose, pacman will continue to sign up for commercial endorsements and will continue to amass large sums of money, while ordinary citizens continue to feel the effects of inflation and sky-rocketing prices.
- Win or lose, pacman will be receiving a heroes welcome and will be look upon as a national treasure while soldiers and rebels dying fighting for their cause will be forgotten.
For a change, I would like to see pacman lose, and I want to see how his political backers react.

The holy month of Ramadan has already started, Muslim leaders begged government military forces and MILF forces to temporarily ceasefire for the sake of the celebration. The AFP issued a statement that they will not stop the operation in hunting the renegade MILF commanders. Suppose Pacman and Golden-Boy fights everyday for the whole month of Ramadan, I’m pretty sure even if we will have a peaceful Ramadan even if nobody asks for a ceasefire, how Ironic.

How big is $30 Million? It’s just Php1.35 billion. If 1 sack of rice is Php2500.00 it would be able to buy Read the rest of this entry »
