Semestral Break haven't been an idle life for me this year. I've always been out of the house, which is really a lot like ME. Last Thursday, I went to Enchanted Kingdom with my cousins, aunt, and Future Cousin (HAHA), Jake. It wasn't a lot of fun. We had accomplished 3 rides only for the whole day. A not-so-total waste of time, stamina and money. The fucktard thing is that, I haven't experienced to ride on Space Shuttle, and yet, It was under maintenance that day the second F* thing is, Log Jam was not operating as well, that was my favorite ride. Gaaaahd. Forgive the Child at Heart. Haha. It was really tiring. Walking all day around EK. We had dinner at Brother's Burger. I'm still craving for Onion Rings. Gawd :)
Us. Before the boring ride at Rialto.

I've read my Tita's blog from Florida about my cousins. Mostly, about the special one named Faith Emma. She was named Faith because she's a blue-baby and has Down Syndrome, and little did we know, People like them don't live that long. She had an operation last December 24. I was so overwhelmed that they keep us updated through her blog and over the phone. A 2-year old kid already undergone a lot of major operations. I truly symphatize her and I haven't seen her since the day she was born.
Aaron Jacob and Faith Emma :)Later this year, it seems like right after eating the turkey, Faith had her regular follow up with her armada of specialists.. relying on the holiday season and the Christmas spirit, I was optimistic for good if not better news for a change. Her opthalmologist reported worsening of her eyes BUT no need for surgery “She needs new prescription glasses mom and she needs to wear them OR ELSE ” he adds more gore to the scenario unfolding before me. Of course no matter how hard the optometrist tries to match the perfect frames for her, we do not succeed… you see, children with Down’s have underdeveloped craniofascial structures, hence, the smallest frames are still too big for her and if they are the right size there is still the dilemma of building it up for the lack of the nose bridge. We end up using the old frames for now, she tries it on and starts to draw a frown, I said “there you go baby, you look much prettier!”.. she smiles. Subsequently, Faith develops ear infections again.. let us blame it on the ever changing weather and the season of flu. Nonetheles, it is difficult for us since she has to have antibiotic shots again and another round of oral steroids. These poor ears.. the infections are persistent and finally the ear tubes fell off. Her ENT made the confirmation and we schedule for surgery, this time we go for the permanent ones but with the probability of damaging her hearing this time “we have to monitor her real close mom” I nodded and said yes. ******
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! CRAAAAASH YOU EARDRUM :))
