Dysphagia.
Difficulty in swallowing.

That is what my Uncle Titing is experiencing... Even drinking water, it was a great difficulty for him. He RARELY ate. When he eats, it was just a spoon or two. He chews, then spits it out.

We communicate through hand gestures or him writing on a ...

First, it was my Mama.

She was diagnosed with Stage 1 B1 Cervical Cancer.

Among those three,I was reduced to tears when I saw them interview ...

Christmas is once again, just around the corner and I’m feeling the Christmas Spirit in every bone in my body(it used to be my Ate Fionna’s role to be the epitome of the Christmas Spirit and whilst I, you can consider as the ever greenish GRINCH)!

It all started with my mom telling me to take out the Christmas Tree and start decorating it.So lo and behold, with the househelps aide(DARN IT,I’ll tell the truth…she did all the work!)and tons of dead termites later, we finally did clean ...
