Happy Sad

Happy… Promise, this will be the last time I will talk about our trip to Boracay (fingers crossed behind me. hehe!) *mouseover the images I am so ready for Boracay…what you think? Hehe! :) Sad… My lolo papa is sick. He got confined in the hospital 2 days ago because of fever. He’s 79 years old but he doesn’t look like it at all. He’s a medical doctor in St. Luke’s and he’s still practicing to this day. His staff, colleagues and patients love him dearly. They call him the “charity doctor” because he never over charges. Like he said to me one time, “You know, we could’ve been so rich. But I’m not that kind of a doctor.” One time, a veteran actress here told my hana a nice story about my lolo papa. When she found her hospital bill too expensive she asked my lolo papa, “Doc, baka pwedeng humingi ng discount kasi medyo mabigat?” My lolo papa smiled widely, “Of course! Magkano gusto mo?” My lolo papa is really something else, isn’t he? His cardiologist ran a couple of test on him yesterday and he (my lolo papa actually saw it first) found something in his heart. It’s like a scar but could be cured through medication only. Hopefully, there would be no need for an operation. He just needs to rest in the hospital a bit more so he can be monitored well. What’s even more depressing is that we’re going to have our much awaited family reunion this Saturday at a private resort in Los Banos and he won’t be able to come. What’s the use if we’re not complete? But my lola mama says we should still push through with it. I’m still praying for a miracle. Hope it comes before saturday.
