worrisome

Knowing that my parents or loved ones aren't that physically well takes a lot of my energy.
Safe to say, worry consumes the most of me.
Any single complain or any symptom expressed races to my brain, shakes my comfort and initiates worry, paranoia and fear.

I hope that whatever symptoms they are feeling now does not mean any severe vascular or coronary diseases as well as anything beyond heart wrenching like cancer or the like. Lord please bless us.

I seriously hope and pray that their health will continue to get better and I hope they get a better perspective when it comes to taking care of their health and seeing medical professionals if needed.

no heart attack, stroke, pvd, blood clots or anything worse please.

I hope their health becomes better and their illnesses get healed and of course, do not get worse. Let them prioritize their health and not be cynical about it.

I hope that poverty won't continue to be a barrier to effective healthcare and that medications, diagnostics, services and health benefits would not be too expensive. No man would be fit to work with an ailing body. I hope that the government seriously understands that. Subsidies and a higher budget should help create a healthier nation.

If you read this post, join me in prayer for the better health of people, for the better health of our loved ones and of course, our parents.

*don't let anything bad happen to them please.

Eating in Baguio: Ketchup food community :)

well, I wrote some notable restaurants in Baguio City in a past post here.
here is an addition :)

The Ketchup Food Community


- located at Romulo Drive near Wright Park.
- This place used to be just "happy tummy" but now, its already a food community where once inside, you will see a collection of small restaurants offering different cuisines.
-I haven't memorized the names of the restos inside but some of them are
*happy tummy-- thai inspired
* Cirkulo - cafe (did not try yet)
* there is one offering western inspired dishes like pastas or the like.
*Rumah Sate - offers good food, actually where we ate. Serves Malay and Indonesian food.
*completely forgot the other one, I think they offer Filipino dishes but I am greatly unsure :)

come have a visit there and I'm sure you will be delighted ;)
btw, budget friendly prices assured! :)

COLD.

why is it so freakin' cold today?
the coldness of the weather seem to bite at the insides of your skin no matter how much layer and cover you use. haha. Baguio City is so unique.  The amount of rainfall and the seemingly gloomy feel makes me think that this place is the Philippines' "Forks" . haha :)

aside from the weather, what else is cold today?
SILENCE is.

how do some people perceive silence anyways?

Mostly, some people may perceive it as a sign of anger, bad feeling or being upset. Some would try to respect this silence and make some distance without doing anything, others would try their best to get you out of that silence zone no matter how much you resist it, they find a way and others, they would just simply think that you don't wanna talk, leave it that way and cuss you for doing that.

out of the three, which could make the silently angry person feel better?

for all I know its the second one. Its the initiative despite the barriers that softens the hard spots. this happened to me once and that made me realize that there no stone, no heart so cold that couldn't be melted by some conscious and self-initiated effort accompanied by honest emotions.

"ikaw, if you think that she is worth the effort, the time, the uncertainties and the chances of rejection, just as long as you get your message across, then go ahead."

the person responded: "that is the best thing you said out of all that you did."
*language modified    *conversation lifted from another source.




tricky, how life will make you feel that you matter. Sometimes, it is all a battle of perspectives leading to the thought that if you give it a try, make sure you've done your research and you know the person more than knowing what YOU think that person wants.

how cold is your night tonight?
