Spent the early part of the morning having another kidney ultrasound. I had KUB less than two months ago but my urologist requested for a new lab to see if there is an improvement in the treatment of my kidney stones. I am keeping my fingers crossed that everything would be okay – which means – I hope by now the stones underwent a disappearing act on their own. I’ve been bombarded (for want of a better word) with medications for kidney and gall stones and a regular take of Ambasc for my blood pressure. Finally, after more than three months of being so cautious because of the DJ stent insert , I am scheduled to have it removed next week. Hallelujah! Life is good!
Hubby and I were able to swing by Jubileum bakeshop to buy their silky soft ensaymada. I was in a quandary on what to choose, they have lots of macaroons which look so yummy, and baked pies and pan de sal. If I have my way, I would buy each of those displayed on their shelves, finally though, I settled for a dozen pieces of special ham ensaymada and two big loaves of ube bread. Can’t wait to have them with a hot cup of green tea.
When we are in the area, we make it a point to visit our good friend, Br. Lovell at Sto. Domingo Convent. It’s always a joy to share and to update each other on what’s the latest happenings in our lives. He showed us the Camiguin Norte Photo exhibit. I was impressed, I wish I have a good camera to capture photos like those displayed there. Right there and then, we joked about going to Camiguin next year (I wish) which comes with a hope and prayer that I would be fit to travel. He said it is a traveling exhibit meaning, that after Sto. Domingo, there will be other places where it would be displayed. Imagine my surprise when I saw all the photos in one of the albums of my other friend Philippe who is also a student of UST. I asked permission to post some of the pictures here and he said yes, so people will know that the children of Camiguin need help in their education. The place is truly amazing.

Hello Fr. Joemar!
Thank you Fr. Joemar for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. Yes, I was truly impressed by all those photos of Camiguin. Lovell told us about the plight of the schoolchildren there and a friend wants to extend her help but just don’t know how to go about it.
I wish when I am well enough to travel, we’ll be able to visit this wonderful place. You are so lucky to be living there and helping the people in their spiritual growth and nourishment. Sure po…..at salamat po ulit!
