Set The Mood

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

What sets the mood in your home? It can be a good music or sweet scent of aroma from scented candles. But I think what really sets the mood is a good lighting. When you’re in the mood for some loving, you can just have a low light and everything will just take care of itself. When you’re feeling playful with your kids, bright light is a must to gaze into your child’s smile. Lights doesn’t only set the mood in your home, it’s also an essential part of beautifying your home. For your lighting needs, Kichler has everything you need and a must have for every home.

Comfort in My Discomfort

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

When I was confined at the ICU I was forced to wear adult diapers. For someone my age, that is really shameful and annoying. But I had no choice but to wear them because I was in comatose for a couple of days. When I woke up and found out about the diaper, I asked my mom to take it away but she said that I needed that so that the wires connected in my body won’t be dislocated when I move. It was one of my most shameful experiences but I had to admit that it brought some comfort in my discomfort.

Catching The Train

The only way of catching a train I have ever discovered

is to miss the train before.

Many times I feel like I keep on missing the train. Living with Lupus is very challenging. The uncertainty of the illness just makes it difficult to plan ahead. There are days that I feel fine, that I can go out there and be normal. But then again, there are days that I can’t even get up from bed, that I feel so exhausted and I don’t even know why. I used to think that my life is over and I should start blaming God. I was disappointed with Him and I always wanted to ask Him why, “why me…”

It has been six years since I have been battling with this illness. There are so many things that I have learned. It has taught me lessons that I will never learn if I didn’t get sick. I am way passed being angry with God, I cannot stay mad to the One who had blessed me so much. I still haven’t really understood why it was given to me but I have learned to just hold on to my faith, that God knows what He’s doing in my life and all I need is to just put my trust in Him. They say that I am gonna have Lupus for the rest of my life, I am not claiming this for I know that God can heal me anytime, if it is His will.

Slowly, I am learning to embrace having Lupus. I am not loving it but I have learned to co-exist with the illness. I may feel fine today and somehow I am expecting that there will be bad days but what the heck, life goes on. I used to think that my life is like a train, I was always on the fast track but someone hit the brakes and now, I am temporarily stranded. I missed the train and I kept on chasing it, without realizing that no matter what I do, I will just fail. So I guess, it’s time to get on a new train.
