Finally, after 3 months of waiting, i have already received my employment authorization card. That means, i can now work in the US for a certain period of time. I have 2 years work approval...not bad..hehehe! Now its really time to get serious on those home base jobs in the internet. I have been browsing through some and i see some nice posting that will not really take too much of your time. I was thinking of doing my medical transcription thing but with yanna lurking around the house, i dont think i will be able to do it just yet. Hopefully, some data entry work or research will do for the meantime....

I'm really looking forward to finding new thing for me to do...not that i'm being tired of housework and yanna...but something that will make my brain really work...(if you know what i mean!)

Last month when allan was in belguim, i felt a burning pain in my right breast. At first i thought it has something to do with me shoveling the snow, maybe because of lack of exercise...hehehe...strained muscles perhaps. So i just ignored it that time. Then, i noticed that the pain won't go away...at night, i will wake up because of the pain. The pain was tolerable but it was like burning inside your skin. That made me scared. Knowing that my family (mother side) has a long history of cancer..my grandfather & grandmother had colon cancer, my mom's sister, at the age of 26, died of bone cancer..then just recently my mom and her older brother were both operated on their colon due to a tumor...my tito having diagnosed to have a stage 2 cancer of the colon...but thankfully my mom was spared,the result was benign, though we originally thought it was my mom who have the cancer, as what the diagnosis of the doctors from one of the known hosp in quezon city..(don't want to mention the name of the hosp...baka i-demanda ako...hehehe). We had her operated on another hosp nearby. And not to mention, my mom having operated twice in her breast due to a tumor which were both benign. With all that,and to stop my worries, i scheduled an appointment with an OB/Gyn, since the earliest appointment they can accomodate me was 3 weeks from the date i called them, they scheduled me first for an ultrasound and mammogram, then said they will call me as soon as the result come out and if they find any abnormalities, they will squeeze me in an earlier sched.

So, had my breast ultrasound and a mammogram. We have been praying that all results will be negative but of course the waiting is really a suspense. Next day came,i recieved a call from the dr's clinic advising me of the result and that the dr wanted to see me, so they had me re-scheduled Feb 1, a week and a half earlier from my original schedule. Came feb 1, the dr informed me that the result were all negative, she said the pain that i felt could be a polyp which burst inside my breast, that's why there is burning pain....though i must admit after i had my ultrasound and mammogram, the pain is somehow slowly disappearing.... that made the conclusion of the dr more accurate. I was advised to observed everything that i feel in my breast, if the pain will worsen, then they will have to further evaluate my case.But as of this writing, everything is fine now. The pain that i felt before were now gone.....And i thank and praise God for the gift of healing.

Yanna's 2nd day at her ballet class. The kids are soooo cute!

Hope you enjoy this video.

Allan is in Belguim for the week. He left Saturday and thank God, he will be back tomorrow night. This is the first time that he was away from home for the whole week....the last time he was away was just 2 days and it wasn’t winter yet. I’ve been praying and hoping that snow won’t show up for the rest of the week so I will not have to plow the pile of snow in our driveway and the sidewalk. But my prayers wasn’t answered….maybe because it was too lame an excuse! ...Anyway, from the day allan left until yesterday…the sun was shinning brightly, though still cold but at least no snow. Though there was already a forecast of snow by Thursday, I was still hoping that it will not be much. I was wrong! This morning, all you can see is white! Then I said to myself, (still hoping..) baka naman hindi makapal ang snow, pwede ng hindi i-shovel. Out I go, stepped in the snow and walked all the way to the driveway and just half way thru, lubog na paa ko.. so kailangan talagang mag-shovel kasi I need to bring yanna to school. While shoveling the snow, our neighbor, (a police man…hehe! Takot si yanna dun eh!) started shoveling the snow in their driveway too. We greeted each other and continue on clearing the snow in our respective driveways. When I’m done in the driveway….i’m tired na..(that’s what you get when you don’t exercise, madaling mapagod! )..went inside the house and hope that our good neighbor will be kind enough to shovel our sidewalk as well…and true enough, dinamay nga ang sidewalk namin. Naawa siguro sa akin kasi parang hirap na hirap ako magshovel eh…di nya alam sadya yun….naughty me..! Kidding aside, mababait lang talaga mga kapitbahay namin dito.

Good thing, yanna doesn’t have school tomorrow. I have an excuse not to shovel if the snow continue to pile up tonight…hehehe! I’ll just have to wait for Allan to do the shoveling….sanay na sya dun eh.
