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)
at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute (NKTI)...
Will most likely have additional PT sessions after this
when I see my Physical Med and Rehab doctor 
for my next check-up...
