The young son of an OMB reader is sick and I wanted to give him something to entertain him. Hoping that even for a few minutes it would deviate his attention from whatever discomfort he’s feeling.
I went to the Toy Kingdom in Podium last Saturday afternoon and bought him Transformers. I haven’t seen any of that movie kaya ni hindi ko kilala kung sino si Transformer.
As corny as it may sound but the only transformer I know is the one that converts 110 to 220. It took me half hour before I decided on this one. I verified muna who this guy is kasi baka eto yung contrabida.
Omb———— “Excuse me, sino ito?
Sales staff—- “Hoy, sino daw ito? tinatanong ni mam?”
Guy sales staff- “Transformer yan”.
Omb———— “Ito ba ay bida or contrabida?”
Sales staff—- “Bida ba daw ito?”
Guy———— “oo”
Sales staff—- “Oo daw mam, isa yan sa bida”.
Grimlock
It came with free Hello Kitty stuff.
I wanted to buy this little boy but I wasn’t sure if my reader’s son would like this. I almost bought this for myself. Naaaliw ako sa kanya.
I got a small box of Russian cookies on the ground floor of Podium for the mom.
I actually intended to visit him the minute we arrived from abroad but I got sick nga. I waited till I am strong enough and no more virus so as not to make hawa him.
I went to the hospital yesterday but they went out na pala.
My driver doesn’t know the way around Metro Manila kaya it’s impossible to let him bring my gifts to their condo baka kung saan pa mapunta. Nung sabi ko kung naka punta na sya sa Shaw Boulevard, oo daw, yung papuntang Divisoria!
Lapit lang naman and I have two hours free time so I decided to go myself.
They looked fine and are coping very well. But even that, I must have absorbed their hidden negative emotions kaya as soon as I got on my van, I felt severe migraine attack. Severe agad, no warning man lang! I have experienced this before. When I also went to console a family who were in distress meron ding may sakit, pag alis ko, na migraine din ako. This has happened to me several times. Edmund said I should learn not to get affected so I could channel my strong faith to them so they would feel better, without me feeling sick afterwards.
I am praying and hoping that their young son recovers well and totally.
I wish I have the power to make people well.
Pag merong may sakit, we have no choice but to trust science, but at the same time, we keep our hope and faith strong. We have no other recourse but cling to God’s mercy.

Hi Ms Annie!
Thank you soooo much!
I am so speechless the moment I saw you…. My husband and I are so amused just looking at you. You are very graceful, and very charming! And really very fragile-looking.
Nakakahiya nga kami coz our unit must have looked pathetic compared to yours (of course! Hahaha!)
But thank you for your time, and for sharing your thoughts with us. You really are very inspiring!
I will never forget this day! You made it a beautiful day! We hope to see you again soon.
Pls take care of yourself. And may God bless you more. You are very warm even to people (like us) you hardly know.
And I will not forget having had the chance to hug you.
