It was still very clear in my head. The time between her breathing began to stretch out with many seconds. Her breathing pattern, too, became louder. It was still in the afternoon, and we were able to exchange a few thank yous and even reminisce happy memories. We were still waiting for her parents to arrive from Nueva Ecija, and she bravely hung on. And after everyone has come, she finally let go and die. It was past midnight.

Live a Purpose Driven Life
The Bucket List
When Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson’s Bucket List graced Hollywood, a lot of people I know made their own set of goals. This flick about two terminally ill men escaped from a cancer ward. They headed off on a road trip with a wish list of to-dos before they die.
I remember I also made my own, too excited to tick off a few items that created a significant impact on my life. More than pushing me to look forward to something, a bucket list reminds me of life’s meaning and purpose. All the more that it gives me that sense of direction in life. And with a clear mental picture of what I would like to aim, I am motivated to achieve that goal. A bucket list makes not a monotonous regime but fills my days towards a ‘purpose-driven life.’

We all could opt to grab a quick bite between commitments and tasks or even scarf down food while working on the computer or watching a television program. There is also the option for drive-thru and eat on our way home.
Why Everyone Loves GoodAh!!!
My first job was as an Advertising and Promotions Assistant in a recording company. It was a fun post, having to deal with a lot of entertainment people and media personalities.
As someone who just had her first job, I love it most when after a shoot or show, we would go out for a few fellowships. I enjoyed eating and trying news diners within Metro Manila and sometimes, out of town.
Two of our artists, though, preferred pares and every time we would dine in, we always go to their favorite GoodAh!!! I was not totally impressed because at 20 years old, all I wanted then were fancy restaurants with hard to pronounce food on the menu.
CORDLIFE PHILIPPINES on Giving Chances and Choices
I had come to know the importance of insurance when our house was one of the thousands submerged in flood during the 2009 Typhoon Ondoy. We were able to claim insurance and use the money to pay for repairs.
Thus, when Dr. Gregorio B. Pastorfide pointed out the similarities of house insurance and cord blood banking, I had sentiments for not availing of that chance. I had the choice twice but didn’t give it much attention. Now, I only hope that nothing would happen to my family for me not to regret giving no time and thought about cord blood banking.
