and i call her, xiang:-)

i visit my friend, xiang, in the hospital. she admitted last Friday. so late for me to know it!..why she confined in the hospital? bec, of dengue. Dengue is one of the most uninvited fever in our country today. it kills hundreds of childrens/people all over the country.

 according to wikipedia:

Dengue fever (pronounced UK: /ˈdɛŋɡeɪ/, US: /ˈdɛŋɡiː/) and dengue hemorrhagic fever(DHF) are acute febrile diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, which occur in the tropics, can be life-threatening, and are caused by four closely related virus serotypes of the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae.<sup>[1]


The WHO says some 2.5 billion people, two fifths of the world's population, are now at risk from dengue and estimates that there may be 50 million cases of dengue infection worldwide every year. The disease is now endemic in more than 100 countries.[3]


the sad thing is, xiang, is seven months preggy.  does this fever will affect her pregnancy?


according to ehow</sup>

In most cases of dengue fever in pregnant women, no serious harm occurs. Treatment for dengue fever includes monitoring the patient and ensuring proper hydration, as the disease promotes dehydration. Pregnant women with dengue fever should be monitored closely, preferably at a medical institution. Because of their increased sensitivity, pregnant women who contract dengue fever are often prescribed a conservative treatment plan.

While a milder case of dengue fever is generally not dangerous for pregnant women, the more severe dengue hemorrhagic fever can can kill the unborn baby. Additionally, the effects of dengue hemorrhagic fever can cause risk of bleeding in pregnant patients. Instances of transmission of the virus from the infected mother to the baby have also occurred, but are very rare.

but, for xiang case, i hope and pray that it won't cause irregularities to her baby. please, God, don't allow it.


<sup>she is sleeping right now. thanks, God, she is resting well. she needs it esp. in her fatal condition as of now.


according to her, she took the ultrasound the other day. the machine revealed the real sex of her baby. she is so happy and excited announcing the news to me that her baby is a girl. i am so happy for her, too. i know, her life right now revolves and rotates on her upcoming baby.</sup>


i stare at her once in a while. figuring her looks, her body and her face. the xiang before was so thin, childish, kikay and very "maingay" but now, she is quite serious, alittle bit mature, simple and become "thicker"...lol. what i mean is her tummy. it is getting bigger and rounder and so she gained weight that made her more "malaman". she still pretty though even before...of course she is my friend. all my friends are very pretty. lucky to have them:-)...there is a saying "opposite attracts"...lol. 


so silent in her room. only the sounds from the ceiling fan echoing the four corners and four sides of the room...ooppss! i could hear stomping feet ascending the stairs and scratch of the slippers walking along the alley. ghosts?...:-)

God seems to be absent and never listens...

is he?

this is my second episode of re-posting and re-writing inspirational messages. the previous post was about the seven rules of life. and now, for my second entry, is this:

sometimes God seems to be quiet...
He seems to be absent and never listens...
we call Him but never answers...
we ask Him for help but He never rescues...
i ask myself, why God? in my deepest trouble You were not with me?
God smiled and told me,
" I never left you...I just wanna watch you fighting using My words that are stored in your heart and mind as your weapon. I'll always be with you, just...BE WITH ME ALWAYS".

have a blessed Friday the 13th to all:-)

Thanks Ate Ludy for sending this message early morn today. Good enough to remind me about the goodness of God...:-)

Blogging

I've been blogging here for almost one year and four months now. My blog is still a baby. even though it is still a baby and unpopular blog, who cares! even though i have only one follower (thanks Saul of Why Me? for signing in), who cares! as long as i enjoy what I'm doing, blogging must go on.

registering paidpost sites considerably a bonus for me esp if an advertiser accepts my bidding. as of now, only one advertiser accepts my bid. unfortunately, my previous earning never reached my paypal account. so sad:-(

i've been visiting, signing, reading and adding blogsites here though they never forced me to do it, i never regretted saving them under my Blogsites.

why do i created a blog?
i used to be her fan. an avid reader. i've been reading her blog before i created mine. she is my inspiration. my college teacher. she is now living happily with her family in England. she is Ma'am Soy. if you wanna know her more, visit her blog now.

by and by, my friends in this blogworld grow. i met new faces, new people from different places. how happy i am earning numerous friends and probably keeping them for life.

my journey as a blogger would not stop here for sure. sometimes, i can't post daily due to time constraints bec of my everyday school paper work. but, i wanna make sure that i can patch up the next days.

keep on blogging;-)

pink comrade

having you is not easy

you are like a little born baby

i don't even know how to take care of you

like a mother do.

sometimes, i regretted having you in my life

people teased me of your little way.

but, how i can thanked you?

...you enlightened my mind

...you gave me strength

...you protected me from storm

...you saved me from all my worries and fears.

i know you can't give back

the love i gave you

and our companionship won't last long

time will come our way apart

but, i want you to know

that i cared for you. and-

you are my little pink comrade for life.

come, think of it?

today, before you think of saying any unkind words, think of someone who can't speak. before you complain about the food you eat, think of someone has nothing to. before, you complain about life, think of someone who went too early into heaven. and when you are tired and complaining about job, think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job. and when depressing thoughts seen to get you down, put a smile on your face and thank God your alive and still around. life is a gift. live it. and enjoy it.

hope it touches your kind heart:-)
