Facebook, Friendster, Blogger, Other BacklogsAnd A Heart-Warming Anonymous Comment

It has been some time since I last posted something here. It has been some time also since I checked my Facebook and Friendster accounts, and even my inboxes in Yahoo! and Google. So it's really not a surprise that it took me quite a loooooong while to get "updated".

In any case, some updates: My new house is 99.99% done. It's painted in two tones, yellow and beige I think. My room is painted light blue. My mom's room is painted light green. There's considerable space now in the kitchen, and we have a veranda (or in local terms, a terrace) out front. We don't have a fence and a gate due to the funding shortages though. In any case, this would've been a really cool narrative if I had time to take pictures and post it here. I don't. Some relatives planted the idea in my mother's mind that we should be moving in by the New Moon (for what superstitious reason, damn if I knew), so everything's in a hurry now.

We're down to Mama's last two chemo sessions, for her breast cancer. Whew! Hopefully we get in the clear by the time everything's finished.

Work is ....work. What can a newly-promoted chap in middle management expect?

Anyway, I'm almost halfway in cleaning my e-mails now. I found this post in my other blog, and it really warmed my heart, reading:

"Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Complete Remission?":

I was diagnosed with SLE last week, and I've been hard-pressed to find something positive to read lately! You have no idea how much brightness and hope reading your blogs about having a normal life and no major flare-ups has brought to me. I can only hope that I will be as healthy as you fifteen years down the road! Thank you so much. God bless you and I hope your health continues until you are old and grey, when your lupus tales will only be "kuwentong matanda" to your grandkids."

Whoever this person is, I wish him/her well. Hopefully I get to write more in my other blog in the same frequency that I post here. But that's another backlog altogether.
