DS in Biology 25 Class, During Cat Dissection

Biology 25: Vertebrate Structure and Function -- It has 5 units and the INTARMED 2023 class attends this subject with hours of laboratory work and lecture twice a week. :)

What an experience for our son. Just looking at the photos piqued me with so much interest. 

(But, poor cat!)

So our 3 white ladies were in for their most hated time of their lives again. :)

WIth DH & Kids at Roku

Dinner at our favorite Japanese place after visiting Lolo Al in NKTI...

With DH & Kids at NKTI for Lolo Al

With DS home because it is a weekend, we all went to NKTI to visit Daddy Al. All of us except for DH got the flu bug -- so we just stayed outside the ICU and viewed him from the window...

At NKTI for Dad Al

Visited Dad Al again at NKTI's ICU. 

Stayed outside because of sickness. 

While praying by the ICU window,
a woman stranger approached us and handed Yani a rosary. 

What a blessing to receive this random gift from someone we don't even know. <3

Visiting Dad Al at NKTI-ICU

Now transferred to NKTI's Intensive Care Unit... 

I can't go in because I am sick with flu.

My 3 Rings Removed After 20-25 Years

Imagine having these 3 most important rings in my life removed after many, many years...

We had to watch videos from YouTube on the perfect "Ring Removal Threading" hack on how to remove them because all were stuck on my right (1 Friendship ring) and left (Engagement and Wedding rings) ring fingers.. I started oiling and lubricating them away with Johnson's baby oil and later with Vaseline petroleum jelly at 11 pm. And then after some time, DD and DH helped using the hack that we learned, and we finally got them all off, one ring after the other, which left my fingers all red, swollen, and painful, at exactly 12:27 am -- the date DH and I got married.

I needed to remove them all because I will have to undergo a Creatinine exam and MRI to rule out what is going on in my right palm that is growing a small lump on it...

Praying that after those tests, I will be declared safe from anything that is dangerous and life-threatening...

St. Anne, my patron saint, please pray for me...

DD's Grade 9 Report Card

Late shout-out and can't skip posting this for the world --

Just want to acknowledge and thank our daughter, DD, for getting 

super high and consistent grades in Grade 9. 

Our dearest DD, your labor is not in vain. Even if you are always very 

busy with Ballet (Ballet Manila) and Jazz (SPCP Terpsichore), and 

staying up until late at night to study -- you have managed to be on top. 

Dad, Kuya, and I are truly proud of you! <3
