Weekly recap

I'm finally back in the blogging world for this week. I need to finish a lot of stuff online, need to upload pics and back up all my files because lately my laptop has been running very slow right now. We went to Michael's earlier this evening, my sis-in-law couldn't stop talking about how successful her daughter's debut went. She'll turn 18 on September 23rd, She had to schedule the party around September 11 instead for the convenience of her guests, which is a Saturday. And Celina would be going off to UC Irvine after her birthday anyway. I was part of her 18 candles, and I promised myself I wouldn't get emotional but lo and behold - I did! My husband's like - you made a scene! And I was like, no I didn't... It was funny, I always get emotional at weddings and birthdays, that's why I hate speaking in front of a large crowd. But seriously, I grew to love my Sis-in-law's children, they are like my own siblings, I care very much for them. I am so proud of them, and I am blessed and privileged to have met them. Celina and her mom went shopping today for her dorm stuff, but we'll get to see her every week since she'll be home in the weekends along with her laundry. She was so pretty during the party, ms. beauty and brains, We are all proud of her. I'll post a few pictures here, but complete pictures are all posted on my facebook.

Happy birthday, Gully!

I had conversations with my co-worker about loved ones dying a few months ago. She had experienced a lot on her part and It was mainly about cancer. She got all choked up when I also told her about my brother who died from cancer last August 2008. It was such an emotional moment when we were talking about our loved ones who left us. I am pretty much open now to talk about loved ones who passed away, I give emotional support to people who need them. I've trained myself to accept the fact that my brother is gone. He is not coming back anymore, that's what I told myself. I loved my brother so much, I had lost a best buddy in my life. But I prayed to God every day to guide me and accept the truth. As hard as it is, I had learned to accept it. Yeah, Once in awhile I still cry, but that's normal. I know wherever he is right now he is looking down on us and smiling. I know he is guiding us with the help of our Lord, that's why I'm thankful. He's our angel and we will never ever forget him.

Today he turns 24. Happy birthday, Gulliver! :)

Before I get some sleep I need to head on over a website that pays attention to Mesothelioma. So if you are interested on reading about this certain cancer, I suggest you do so it just might help somebody in the near future.
