A Glimpse of …

Last May 2010 my grade school classmate and fellow Kagay-anon, Faye Maricel Lee, found out she had Breast Cancer Stage 2. She had been feeling a lump 2 years back and thought it was just a growth she can deal with later on. Eventually she had herself checked for that and found out it was Breast Cancer. Click here for some photos of her breast tumor surgery.

I’m blogging about this to help her earn for her treatments. She used to work at Limketkai Center Corporate Office but she stopped because of her illness. This is the only way I can help her for now. She has an online shop called Faye’s Closet. She currently has a few stuffs for sale but she will add some next week. Let’s shop and help her earn for her treatment. (click the image below so you can go to her online shop)

Or click the donate button at the bottom and include a message that it’s for Faye/Maricel so I can give her your donations. You can also text/call her directly at 09066314674 or 09189919173 and ask for her bank details. Thanks

You must be wondering why I love Gandaeversomuch.com. There are a couple of reasons.. Aside from I love mareng Orman, most of the blog posts are real and mostly applicable to our everyday lives.. other blog posts are so true na tinatamaan ka talaga at makakarelate ka. One post na favorite ko na is the recent blog post mareng Orman wrote last June 30 about being betrayed. Traydor na kaibigan to be super exact.

If you follow me on plurk, you would have noticed a couple of my plurks a few months back about someone who betrayed me, ruined my trust, and some friendships in the process.  Actually marami sila sa lista ko and yes he/she must be in your timelines too. If you wanna know, I can make chika so you would hate them too – kidding. Ano sila celebrity? Pinaguusapan? haller.. I trust too quickly kasi. Anyways..if you read mareng Orman’s post, about it – here – item #1 I did already – I had to comment nga na item #1 palang tawa na ako agad. Nakarelate! Ang #2, hindi ko naman ginawa pero sinadya lng talaga ng tadhana dahil nanakaw ang phone ko. LMAO. So yeah, favorite ko ang blog post na ito dahil nakarelate ako at natawa dahil tama naman talaga – as always – si mareng Orman. Mga ahas pinapatay at ginigisa, LOL!  Ang favorite ko sa lahat ng inenumerate ni mareng Orman ay ang item #6! Hahaha. Like I said sa isang plurk ko, ang mga tinatamaan, GUILTY! And naman… tama na naman ulit si mare dahil ginagawa nila ang #6! To all traitors: you are hopeless cases. Continue what you’re doing and soon when you die, you’ll be alone in your death beds. Pakshet!

Eto ang entry ko para sa week #5 Blogversary contest ni Mareng Orman. Happy Blogversary in 21 days! Sana pasok ito. LOL.

June 29, 2010 – Was the day Missy Bon Bon’s Fan Page mentioned the theme of the week, I knew there has been a contest going on online but most of the themes they have I can’t relate to or don’t have the picture to fit in. That week it was “Baby, Baby, My Missy Bon Bon Baby!” – the mechanics were just to upload a picture of your “baby” – bf/gf/hubby/wifey or your baby talaga – as long as you call him/her baby and the photo should be of him/her enjoying at Missy Bon Bon. I remembered I took pictures of Zaza a week before eating his Gelatos and I tried to join the contest. Here is our picture entry – photo was taken at Missy Bon Bon Robinsons:

July 5, 2010 – browsed thru the feeds again in FB, and was shocked that I won! I totally forgot about the contest that day and I was so happy Zaza’s picture won. One of the owners of Missy Bon Bon even congratulated me via FB message. Thanks so much also sir Henrik. More power to Missy Bon Bon! Below are some photos at Missy Bon Bon after claiming our GC and the pictures of what we bought with it.
