little things that matter

i was facing the laptop earlier... was ready to jot down my thoughts when i heard the sound of coughing from where my nephew is playing PS2, it was so irritating so i looked, then i realized it was my nephew, alden coughing, coughing very hard... as if he was choking to death then he started rubbing his eyes. when i got up and approached him, he was scratching all over his body. alden is asthmatic. he was having an asthma attack. i then ran to papang's bedroom. i told them alden is having difficulty breathing. the next thing i remember, my husband kim, alden and i were off to a taxi going to the hospital. in the ER, he was given a shot of anti-histamine. then we waited for about 15 minutes until his pale lips turned pink again. when he oppened his eyes... he smiled and asked for a jollibee meal. in moments like this... i get to thank the Lord for the little things that matter.

continue...

A tour, a site visit… Been five months now since I started working for PNOC. I was not included in the list of employees to get to visit the site. I never had the chance to visit the pads, wells, rigs, etc… way up to the mountains of Southern Negros because I am known to go home for lunch (not to mention to breastfeed my little Aizek). I am always in the office not until last Wednesday. What an exhilarating experience when you get to discover things you never thought really exist. There are so many facts in life that we often take for granted. There, I was faced with all the huge pipes, turbine and tools everywhere, amazing how machines work and work well for civilization and vis-à-vis. Amidst the heap is a visible source of steam, a spring of power for those who can avail of it. I couldn’t begin to imagine how it all embarked on, who were the pioneers, who were the first engineers and how was the pacing then. So incredible that what must have been a simple plan yesterday turns out to be a master piece of today. With that, I have this word: continue. No matter what the trials are, no matter how immense the distractions are, no matter how excruciating some circumstances are… we just have to continue. By continuing, we are pedaling our way towards progress, thus, we succeed.
