THANK YOU....straight from the STUBBORN PATIENT
Friday, July 11, 2008
so another two surgical procedures not to mention a complete severance ( as in removal) of a nerve added to my surgical history. here i am, two weeks later, i'm still somewhat "high" ( more like "bangag") from my generous doses of narccotics (courtesy of nice orthopedic doctor). doctor instructed "do not put put weight on casted foot and ankle, do not use left extremities at all for now, do not drive, elevate, ice it up all the time, clear liquds only, " blah, blah, blah...well, if you know the rebel in me, i am sort of stubborn so i simply did not follow all instructions. i went to a thai food resto 5 days after surgery and guess who i saw, TINA!!! hahaha....i hoping i can get me a crab cake but all i did was stare at it and watched poor BF 'mr. dimsum' gobble up two plates of largey entrees and take home some more.

perhaps you may say, i am being punished due to my stubbornness that i still could not tolerate solid food. gG2 gatorade & BF mom's chinese congee or tsuk or "goto" or lugaw in tagalog has been a reliable sustaining diet. the only only thing i can swallow for no anyway. still on PRN dilaudid ( yes, folks, i am upgraded to stronger dilaudid from the already heavy vicodin. and the annoying worker's comp insurance made sure i now OWN a 24 hour ice machine (like the ones they have in ortho floor, i swear!) so i don't need the leaky ice packs made by my RN mommy. hahaha. THAT's BEEN MY FABULOUS LIFE , so far .

i wanted to send individual THANK YOU's to everyone but it will take me a lifetime to do that. so THANK YOU to everone who prayed from my wlshire umc family, who wished me to get well whethe by tx from pinas, to nyc, to all roud the world, the lovely emails and comments, to all who checked if i was alive and survived the multiple doses of morphine ( hehhe...i'm alive---i'm a cat with nine livES - don't you know that yet?),to all who visited at home ( hopefully, i wasn't demented enough to forget your name - i hope i remembered you!!! hahah) and of course, my 24 hour NURSES at home & super sweet BF who took care of me and still taking care of me for their UNCONDITIONAL tender loving care despite my bitchiness...i owe you so much ndi will make it up to all of you. I LOVE U!

above all,MY GOD and SAVIOUR, My mASTER HEALER, i never doubted your power to heal me. hopefully, i can be up an running in no time. cure me fast oh Lord i can serve you more.
i guess, what am trying to say is, i'm still in pain...and i still need aides in a lot of thngs...but in no time, i will be ok. i tld you guys, i will be a BIONIC woman in no time. so fearnot. thanks again...GOD loves you...so DO I.

MY SILENT REVERIES
writing is my passion. i created silent reveries years ago to vent out things i could not tell the world. it was my private, modern tech approach to scribbling my thoughts and emotions in a journal. in here, i can feely be who i am. i could cry my woes, i can love freely, i can grieve over a broken heart, i can celebrate the joys in my heart, i can rejoice with my accomplishments, i can tell stories of remarkable friendships and unforgettable connections i made with extraordinary people SECRETLY AND SILENTLY without worrying people might judge me. i hid under the name PINAY FREESTYLE.

but eventually, some people gained access to my secret place. so i opened my doors to them in the purpose that i could inspire them: to be better versions of themselves and to share themselves to the world. slowly, i embraced my readers as a part of my life. i welcomed the strange idea that my untold life stories and unconcealed revelations could be of help to others, to love and accept themselves as they are. and i, i came out from the animosity. i eventually became just the regular LEN - the nickname my family & friends call me.

i developed stories of love, of letting go, of falling in love all over again. i made great friendships. but if there's one thing i was particularly proud of, it was my undenying love for the LORD. i wrote and made soul searching, heart wrenching entries i entitled, "SPIRITUAL REVERIES" which you will find many here. it was my productive way to heal myself from twinge and while i am at it, i could also mend others spirits along the way and bring them back up to par with their faith and relationships with God. it has not stop there. it's still a constant journey.

and so, for as long as i can, i vowed to tell my memorable reflections,i have unmasked the hidden me. and the seeking and searching of life's meaning and purpose is not over. LIFE is a long road of discovering. and i still yet to discover many wonders of this world and satisfy my unending curiosity. but be warned. you can either love me or hate me. but i don't care. this is me: sripped and bare as i can be.

so i invite you into my chaotic unperfect world. join me in my whirlwind new travels of diving into the unknowns. let me share my life with you all over again. come in, as i tell you my SILENT REVERIES.

love,
len


DISCOVER ME: who is the lady behind the blogs?



"I want to have a personal light, the glow of oneself that comes from sheer willpower, the light of someone who has made important sacrifices in the name of things I think are important."

---Paulo Coelho's "Eleven Minutes"

my name is len. people always tend to judge me without discovering who i really am. i might look intimidating, a typical shop girl, and i act like a crazy party girl on the weekend. but i actually have brains. and i own an even bigger heart. the truth is, beyond the louis vuitton bags, beyond the lavish parties, the excessive passion to travel and the desire to get to know the world, if you got to know the REAL ME, i am really just a simple girl. my only desire is to be loved for who i am.
