I rushed my dog Layzie to the vet the other night. She’s the mom of my other dog who passed away last March, making her the oldest of the bunch. She’s 15 years old based on human age, making her around 85. Due to her age, she’s been having difficulties walking. It started to manifest last week. This week, she could barely get up. She kept on ( Read more... )

My aunt Maiden passed away last Thursday. She was diagnosed with cancer and had quite a lengthy battle before she succumbed to the disease. She is survived by her husband and her 7-year old daughter. The funny part here is that when I heard the news, I felt really sad but I couldn't shed a tear. I don't know if the recent events in my life had made ( Read more... )

It's just becoming a bit difficult as of late. Instead of being able to write seven to nine articles daily (depending on the required word count), I can only go as far as six to seven ( Read more... )

You know you have a guardian angel watching your back when you almost fall on the street while getting into an FX but are told to grab hold onto something quickly. Either that or hell isn't ready for you yet. Oh, this happened while I was on my way to Robinson's Galleria to get Batman # 686 for aoitenshi and me (the one written by Neil Gaiman). I'm really ( Read more... )

The passing of a family member can be tough to bear. Especially when that family member happened to take care of you from the day you were born. On November 23, 2008, my aunt Noni (or Tita Noni, or ‘Ta as I would call her) passed away. I came home after attending a wedding the previous day, and that’s when I found her. She had died in her sleep. ( Read more... )
