the bestest gift

I love the life I’m having now. What more could I ask for when I seem to have everything already? Hmm…let’s see. Loving and understanding family, check (but they tend to become bossy and overprotective at times); loyal best friends, check (there are really plenty of ‘em, and I can prove you they all do exist); good health, check (well yeah… sometimes I still get attacked by my asthma…but its normal…I have always my inhaler with me anyway); beauty, check (fine, I’m not that pretty but everyone who loves me calls me one…so why bother not to believe); brains, check (duh!? Who hasn’t got a brain?); money to support my simple way of life, check (except that circumstances such as what happened to me last time are truly unavoidable, thus must be buried and forgotten…that one sucks!); hmmm…what else? A good and famous name? I don’t think I would want to have that ‘coz I’m already fine with what happened to our name (for those who knew my silly little secret..SSHHHH!).

So, what do you think is that bestest gift I just got? Not a guy, you silly. I already have my Dad, why bother look for another man when I already got one? Oh well, going back, you really don’t have any idea about this gift? Okay, I’ll say it. It’s a pacemaker—an artificial pacemaker. It’s not mine, technically, but for my GrandMa. She just had a surgery a day before the Christmas Eve. God is really great ‘coz the surgery went smoothly and my Gran was allowed to go home for Christmas. Unlike other patients who were advised to stay at the hospital for further observations, my Gran was sent home ‘coz she’s way stronger than the others considering that she’s already 94 years old. I may not be there by her side when the operation was done (she lives in the States with my Dad’s siblings), but I never failed to pray for her.

I’m really so happy because the success of the operation only meant one thing—Lola is still living. She would still be able to visit us here soon. I even heard she’s about to have a vacation on summer 2009. I can’t wait to see and hug her again. The last time I saw her was last Christmas, but since she had a surgery this time, her visit was a bit delayed. But despite the delay, I’m still glad. As long as she lives, I’m complete. Such the bestest gift ever.
