I am Kcat.. I Can.. KCAT CAN!

I was featured on Manila Bulletin last March with a story by Angelo Garcia on the youth section, Students & Campuses..

Last Saturday, I received a message from Angelo Garcia on Facebook:

[..]How are you? I just would like to ask if you would like to be a regular columnist in our section -- Students and Campuses Bulletin?

We believe that your story and stories to share would be of great inspiration to others. It's just like writing an entry on your blog, but this time it will help you spread the word to a lot of Manila Bulletin readers. This would likewise help you and your endeavors and advocacies.[..]

Cheska needs us..

Please visit:

cheskaalterman.webs.com

I set-up that site for Cheska and her mom so they could gather more support for Cheska..

Cheska (13 years old) was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 since she was 5 months old.

Recently, a large (twice the size of the heart) malignant tumor was found on one of her legs and is suffering from a lot of complications. She is in the hospital and is fighting for her life right now, her doctors said she might not be

able to recover since the cancer has already spread & it's already on stage 4.. She is currently bedridden at home.. Her mom, Ate Barbara, is a single parent who takes care of everything for Cheska and her younger son. At present, Ate Barbara is jobless to personally attend to her daughter. Financially, they are not capable of sustaining all Cheska's medication.

We can help Cheska by buying these button pins.. They are selling it for 35 pesos each.. Your help will really mean a lot!

Please get in touch with Barbara Alterman at 09174446354 / 09159700576..

PRAYERS MOVE MOUNTAIN!

*edit*

Cheska joined our Creator on June 26, 2010 at 8am.. Just the same, let's continue to support & pray for her.. God bless!

Amazing!

Before I go to sleep at night, I always do some exercises for my arms, legs, hips, etc.. I'm also fond of touching my neurofibromas.. Except for the one on my right foot! Super sakit nun pag hinahawakan! Then I touched the tumor/neurofibroma/bukol on my left leg.. I touched it again to double check.. Then triple check.. It deceased in size! The I checked the tumor on my right leg.. It's getting smaller & smaller.. Yey!

I made a clipart to represent my legs & neurofibromas BEFORE & AFTER.. ;)

My Left Leg

My Right Leg

Super Amazing! plus I have a new trick.. Haha. I could already raise my left arm and swing it in the air left & right while lying.. I'll capture it on video this Saturday.. ;)

MAY Birthday Project 2010

My birthday wishlist was always the same for 4 years now and it will always be my wishlist as long as I'm alive! A week after my benefit birthday dinner, we had our gift-giving at Phil. General Hospital.. We shared all the items we've collected from all of my/our friends.. We got to share it with the patients of pedia wards (Ward 9 & 11), Neuro & Spine surgery (Ward 6) and Pedia ICU.. Sad and blank faces became happy again.. I got to share my blessings again.. Those blessings were not exactly the stuff that we gave them, but those who gave it — our families and friends (or friends of friends of friends...). They are my greatest blessing, along with my faith. I got to show them how my faith gives me hope. Habang may buhay, my pag-asa.. ;)

Philippine General Hospital -May 22, 2010

Super thank you to all of my friends to made this event a success again.. I'm looking forward to more successful MAY Birthday Projects..

See the pictures here, here, here, here, here.

Share your love to Katrina, hug a teddy bear

Ate Karen Rambongga (Katrina's mom) is selling teddy bears again.. Thanks to you Katrina now has cochlear implant.. But she still need to attend a lot of mapping * therapy sessions in order for her to hear & speak clearly.. We can help her so that she could say "Thank you" to us & hear and understand our reply: "You're welcome"

May 27

It's my mom's birthday today..

Read her BIRTHDAY WISH

Listened & hEARd

Last night was my Birthday Benefit dinner..

The place was full of PURPLE & YELLOW (my favorite colors!).. including me.. I'm wearing purple & yellow as well.. I blend with the tables, chair & the props which people avoid, but I did that on purpose.. I really want to blend in with the color.. but I still stand (though I'm sitting..haha) out coz I'm in a wheelchair.. Just like life, world & people.. We think that we are all the same, creatures living on earth & just one of many people.. But we CAN still stand-out as one person, right? We are still unique in our own way.. ;)

It's May 13!

Gusto kong batiin sarili ko eh.. Walang basagan ng trip.. KSP eh.. hehe ;P
