A very inspiring story...

LIFE ISN'T ABOUT HOW TO SURVIVE THE STORM, BUT HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN...

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb.

He said he was in a hurry, as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him.

I saw him looking at his watch, and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound.

On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.

While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.

The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.

I inquired as to her health; he told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's Disease.

As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late.

He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.

I was surprised, and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are'?

He smiled as he patted my hand and said, ''She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is.'

I had to hold back tears as he left. I had goose bumps on my arms and thought, 'That is the kind of love I want in my life'.

True love is neither physical nor romantic.

True love is acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.

Since I am going back to Korea again and will be gone for another 2 weeks...the best way to spend my "last day" would be with of course two of the most important people in my life...

Morning...spa day with my beshie...out of nowhere she offered to treat me to a day in the spa...not just any spa in the metro but Wensha...sad but true and funny but we are both "spa virgins"...we got a much needed pampering...

After a day in the spa we headed to gateway to spend some quality time with my hon...of course i'd be gone for 2 weeks and that's quite a long time to be separated specially for a new "couple"...good thing he'll be busy with his board exams review...i'll see you soon hon...

Today is rest day...no shooting...so we took advantage of that one day off to explore the shopping center in Seoul...had a li'l shopping...so many shops to choose from...so many items to try on...so many hot salesguy to feast on (hehehe!) yet so little time...

A little trivia about shopping in Seoul...the mall hours are from 10:00am until 5:00am the next day...some of the shopping malls are closed on Mondays...

After shopping we went to CGV Theater in I'Park Mall to attend the premier of the Korean film "The Good, The Bad, The Weird"

Thanks to the kindess of Annie who became our tour guide for the day...

Technically speaking it is our 3rd day here in Korea since we arrived in the evening of July 04...it is suppose to be summer here but strangely we haven't experienced the sun rising yet...

We started working today...shoot started at about 4pm at the ART SERVICE Artcenter Set & Studio where they built a huge set...it's like the Hollywood of South Korea...3 huge film studios in one compound

Unfortunately, we are not allowed to take photos inside the set so in between takes we took advantage of taking photographs outside the studios...

Good thing my left foot is ok now...because tommorow is rest day which means SHOPPING DAY in Seoul...

Also, we were invited to attend the premier night of the Korean film THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE WEIRD starring Korean actor and 2007 Asian Film Awards Best Actor Kang - Ho Song who is also playing the lead role in the film we are shooting here in Korea.

Here are just few of the reasons why i love you...

...you drove all the way from Marikina to pick me up at 5am just  beacuse you are craving for Jolly Chicken in 
Jollibee...THE FORT ( other branch will not satisfy your hunger!)

...you brought me to Malate on New Year's eve to get me a date kahit alam mo na di ka bebenta doon hehe

...you treated my wound nung nadapa ako sa Batangas kahit nadidiri ka sa dugo and i did the same to you hehehe

...you already know what's on my mind just by the look in my eyes 

...you drove all the way from Boni to Malabon to bring my ex home even if on our way to their house we were breaking up

...you act as a driver to me most of the time specially when I have a date

...you laugh even at my corniest joke kahit ilang beses ko na sinasabi sayo

...you still ask me to navigate everytime we are on the road even if you know for a fact that I am the worst navigator

...you always ask me to give you the toiletry set everytime I check in at any hotel...or motel for that matter hahaha

...you taught me a very good excuse if ever mahuli ako sa NO LEFT TURN sa The Fort...dapat mukha kawawa at umiiyak and sabihin sa mamang pulis na galing ako sa libing...with matching plunging neckline and uber mini skirt

...you appreciated it kahit Map of Seoul lang pasalubong ko sayo when I went to Korea

...you are my number one critic

...you are my number one fan

...you are my shopping buddy

...you are my pig out buddy

and for many more reasons i will forever lavyah...

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY BESHIE...my "swirlyb*tch"...

" ...I didn't need the pain
once or twice was enough...

...yet i know that the goal 
is to keep me from FALLING...

...you cut me open and I
keep bleeding... "

I've never been the one to raise my hand,
That was not me and now that's who I am...

...Now I can see and I believe it's only just beginning

This what we dream about
But the only question with me now
Is do I make you proud
Stronger than I've ever been now
Never been afraid of standing out
But do I make you proud

I've made up my mind, don't need to think it over
If I'm wrong I am wright, don't need to look no further...

But if I tell the world, I'll never say enough
'Cause it was not said to you...

I build my self up and fly around in circles
Wait then as my heart drops and my back begins to tingle
Finally, could this be it?

...or would it be a waste even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there?

Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?

If There's Someone You Want To Get To Know...

SHOW 'EM THE TOE!

Gracias por todo...
para cuidar de mi...
 que pelea demasiado...
 pero quiero que sepan que te quiero...

Feliz Dia Del La Madre

TE QUIERO!
