DS's Last Day at Home

Today at exactly 9:30 pm, 

we left DS at the condo,

where he will be staying 

everyday for 7 years 

as he takes up his 

accelerated course in 

UP Manila College of Medicine 

as an INTARMED student.

First, we heard Mass at the 

Ateneo at 3pm this afternoon, 

as it was also the feast day of 

St. Ignatius of Loyola.

Then we did our last important 

errands for whatever else 

DS needed. 

I feel sad that our son will be 

living on his own, but at the 

same time extremely grateful 

that we received this big blessing 

of being accepted into this 

highly competitive program.

To DS, as we always say, -- 

continue to shine for the Lord,

and give back all the glory to Him. 

We love you dearly, anak,

and are proud that God entrusted 

your life in our hands. <3

My Last Frozen Shoulder PT Session

Not wanting to attract attention for posting this, 

but I just want to document it for the pleasant experience I had

completing my PT exercises for this condition ---

Thanks to my friendly and helpful PT, Kim Cuyco. :)

Am being treated for FROZEN SHOULDER (Adhesive Capsulitis)
